Absolute welcomes the new fleet flagship: Navetta 75 – The Absolute Sphere

Navetta 75 – The Absolute Sphere is the latest development of Absolute: the largest boat in the shipyard, “The Absolute Sphere”, is designed to expand the Navetta range. It is no coincidence that Absolute chose the sphere, a symbol of perfection and harmony, to describe a boat that embodies all the essential values and distinctive features that any new project should have in the Absolute shipyard.

The Navetta 75 incorporates the shipyard’s most unique features and style, the strengths that set it apart from competitors: in line with the new Fly range concept, the Navetta 75 project brings on board a terrace cockpit and the owner’s cabin at the bow . The new flagship includes also large windows , high ceilings and spaces designed on a single level, both on the main deck and on the lower deck.

Navetta 75 comes with two other highlights of the shipyard’s style: easy movement on board and ultimate privacy for the owners, their guests, and their crew. Indeed, from the main deck you can easily access the flybridge both from the aft and from the bow, thanks to two separate stairs. A dedicated crew area can be easily accessed from the cockpit, without interrupting the owners and their guests.

With Navetta 75, Absolute proves once again that research can be used to elevate design and meet every need on board, from sliding doors to generous storage compartments. The shipyard provides impressive solutions once again by offering beautifully designed external and internal areas for good times with friends and family and for absolute versatility in the flybridge and cockpit areas, with modular furnishings with no fixed structural elements.

Absolute Navetta 75 review: The perfect blend of practicality and panache

• Top stories

Think you know what a trawler yacht is all about? After test driving the Absolute Navetta 75, Alex Smith reckons it might be time to think again...

There’s something delightfully Italian about Absolute’s new flagship, the Absolute Navetta 75. On the one hand, it adopts the classically upright form of a Nordic or American-style trawler. And on the other, it tweaks and cajoles that traditionally workmanlike form with remarkable aesthetic finesse.

Vast, seemingly mullion-free side windows wrap around the superstructure, dividing the flybridge from the hull sides with unbroken reflections of sea and sky. And unlike the outgoing Absolute Navetta 73 , the new boat adopts some very attractive design elements from the Coupe line too.

While the 73 uses a rugged, squared-off back end with imposing aft bulwarks and swept fibreglass struts, the Absolute Navetta 75 augments the connection between the cockpit and the sea by means of an open transom design with a clear glass balustrade, alongside a bulwark that dips as it leads aft, extending the deep midships cutaway right back to the aft cockpit’s seating zone.

Absolute has revised the hull sides too – taking its trademark concoction of square and circular hull windows and gathering them together into just two large tinted panels. As on the Absolute 60 Fly , these elegantly raked sections eradicate the clutter, making the boat feel much slicker and more cleanly resolved.

In fact, despite the fact that the new Absolute Navetta 75 retains all the voluminous vertical elevation you would want from a trawler-style yacht, there’s a strong argument to suggest that this is the loveliest looking boat in the entire Absolute Yachts fleet.

When you step on board, that sense of design clarity is fully backed up by the intelligence of the deck layout. As far as possible, Absolute has used single-level decks, alongside a mix of fixed and freestanding furniture, to provide all the storage and work surfaces you need while retaining plenty of flexibility in the way the day spaces can be arranged.

At the aft end, the cockpit’s freestanding six-person dining station is framed within the wraparound glass of the central balustrade and serviced by a starboard wet bar, which is particularly handy on a galley-forward layout like this.

In addition to twin side gates, there are also symmetrical steps down to the swim platform on both sides and, as you would expect of a trawler yacht , sheltered side decks lead you safely to the sunbeds at the bow.

Absolute Yachts Navetta 75 Reviewed

• By Patrick Sciacca
• March 21, 2023

It’s challenging to create a yacht that looks and feels formidable yet inviting. Rugged, luxurious. But all these descriptors came to mind as I toured the Absolute Yachts Navetta 75, the Italian builder’s new Navetta-series flagship in a line with six other Navetta models starting at 48 feet length overall.

Absolute gives each new model a theme, and the Navetta 75’s is “the absolute sphere.” The idea is that a sphere represents perfect balance and harmony. Consider the yacht’s DNA: The Navetta 75 is, indeed, an exercise in balance, including its overall proportions, performance, use of glazing, and interior and exterior real estate’s form and function.

The Navetta comes in at 74 feet, 10 inches length overall with an 18-foot-5-inch beam. It carries a good bit of that beam forward, enhancing internal volume. A beneficiary of this design is the master stateroom. The space is forward on its own level with a private entrance just a few steps down from the main salon. There is 6-foot-6-inch headroom, and the stateroom is made to feel even larger with a light-oak sole and natural light passing through the hullside windows. There is a forward-facing berth, and a vanity with a work desk is to port. Forward of the berth is the en suite head with his-and-hers sinks on centerline. A shower stall is to starboard, and the toilet is to port. It’s whisper quiet in this stateroom underway, and the ocean vistas are as impressive as they are relaxing.

Guests can relax as well, since all three staterooms belowdecks have either hullside windows or port views. There is a full-beam VIP amidships with an en suite head to port and a vanity to starboard. The head is outboard, running longitudinally, with a sink in the middle and a toilet forward. The shower stall is aft. As in the master stateroom, average headroom here is 6 feet, 6 inches, and natural light and views are courtesy of 36-inch-long, 26-inch-high hullside windows. Forward and to port is a second guest stateroom with an athwartship berth and an en suite head. Both the VIP and this stateroom are accessed via space-saving pocket doors. The third guest stateroom is to starboard with twin berths and in-room access to a day head, which can also be accessed from the companionway.

Sole-to-ceiling glass encompasses most of the superstructure, creating a main deck that feels infinite and is connected to the sea nearly 360 degrees. This design is enhanced further with the yacht’s cut-down and open bulwarks. Narrow stainless-steel supports are all that occasionally come into view while looking outward when seated. In fact, the windows adjacent to the formal dining table for eight people—set amidships and to port—are nearly 8 feet long by 4½-plus feet high. Abaft the dining area are two settees in an L-shaped configuration, as well as a loose chair. A coffee table pulls the space together as a cozy conversation nook. The interior spaces are made to feel warm, thanks to tasteful indirect lighting.

Forward of the dining area—also on the port side—is the Navetta 75’s galley. Equipped for serious at-sea meal prep, it’s outfitted with Miele appliances, including a convection oven, a full-height fridge and freezer, a four-burner cooktop and an Isotherm ice maker. During my time on board, the galley was open to the salon, but this space can be closed off during formal occasions. If it is closed, crew can access the Navetta 75’s side decks via a pantograph door to port, to serve guests discreetly.

The all-weather lower helm is a couple of steps up from the salon. It is set up with twin helm seats, three Garmin multifunction displays, a bow-thruster control and a joystick to manage the twin Volvo Penta IPS1350 diesels around the dock. Cockpit joystick controls are optional. The upper helm is where I spent my wheel time; it can be accessed internally from the lower helm or externally via the cockpit. The helm is on centerline with unobstructed sightlines.

I ran the Navetta 75 off Cannes, France, on a light and variable morning with near-flat, calm seas. I found the yacht relatively nimble and real-time responsive to wheel input with minimal inboard heel on hard-over turns. It was a confidence-inspiring driving experience.

With the throttle on the pins, top speed was 24.9 knots at 2,470 rpm. At top hop, fuel burn is about 102 gallons per hour. Considering a 10 percent reserve on the yacht’s 1,057-gallon fuel capacity, range is around 232 nautical miles. Dial the engines back to 2,100 rpm and a cruise speed of 19.6 knots, and fuel burn drops to 67 gph, while range increases to about 279 nm. Slow cruise at 1,800 rpm and 14.8 knots for fuel consumption of 47 gph and range of 300 nm. For longer voyaging, the Navetta 75 has a 541 nm range at a 10.8-knot jog.

In addition to the upper deck being command central on fair-weather days, it’s also laid out for alfresco entertaining. Owners can personalize the layout here. This Navetta 75 had settee seating for about six guests, plus two chaise longues aft with views of the Côte d’Azur through the glass balustrade. An alfresco dining table under the hardtop is also available here, as well as a sink, a Kenyon grill and a bar, making this a great spot to take in Bimini’s aquamarine waters while grilling some mahimahi for the family. When the sun goes down, indirect lighting sets the mood. Open the hardtop’s retractable roof for stargazing.

The Navetta 75’s foredeck creates yet another alfresco social zone with a sun pad for four guests, and built-in U-shaped seating and a table for sundowners with friends.

I wrote the word “complete” in my notes as I exited the Absolute Yachts Navetta 75. Its effective layout, optimized spaces, admirable performance, luxury flourishes and ability for owners to personalize their yacht makes it a vessel that checks off a lot of must-have boxes. For yachting enthusiasts who are ready to level up to a vessel that is at the border of owner-operator and the crewed-yacht experience, the Navetta 75 is an eminently cruise-worthy consideration.

Room for Crew

Absolute Navetta 75 owners may choose to have full- or part-time crew. To that end, abaft the engine room are two berths for crew. One of the berths is in a separate cabin. The second berth also serves as seating for meals. A window slides up, providing fresh air and access to the teak swim platform. There is also a head with a separate shower stall, a table, and a side-by-side Miele washer and dryer for laundry day.

Here Comes the Sun

About half of the Absolute Navetta 75’s flybridge can be covered with a hardtop. If extra sunshine is desired, the hardtop retracts about 80 percent of its total length. With only a few structural elements—and the fact that owners can personalize this space to accommodate their entertainment-at-sea lifestyle—there is a lot of flexibility in how this deck can be used.

Navetta 75: Absolute Yachts’ flagship on test

• Luca D'Ambrosio
• January 12, 2023

World premiered at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, the Navetta 75 immediately caught our attention. A perfect synthesis of beauty, balance and technology, Absolute Yachts ‘ new flagship features large volumes which, despite her twenty-three metres, make her belong to the superyachts segment.

An intriguing craft, then, capable of combining the above-mentioned characteristics, as you will see in this article, with great seaworthiness.

Navetta 75 Sea Trial

Our first approach to the Navetta 75 is not of the easiest ones. The boat is confined in a berth that to call it problematic would be an understatement and, with the boat show in full swing, getting out of Cannes’ Port Vieux will certainly not be easy. With 15/16 knots of crosswind and 4/500 metres of navigation awaiting us between the cables stretching forward, floating jetties and really tight spaces, millimetric precision manoeuvring is not an option but the only way to get out into open waters.

Yet I see Gimmy Valente strangely serene, he is at the helm and from the Flybridge, calmly and quietly, he orders the lines to be released and grasps the joystick. Navetta 75 moves slowly forward and begins to evolve with impressive ease, heedless of the gusts coming in on the beam. I lean outboard and on the surface of the water I see the irrefutable signs of the thrusters and IPS pods working in unison, coordinated by a single movement, that of Gimmy’s hand on the manoeuvring joystick. A combination of technology that until yesterday was impossible but today makes it really easy to untangle these complex situations.

Outside the port the wind strengthens and rises to around 18 knots. The sea is rough and a short, steep wave comes (as always when at sea) from exactly the only direction we can go. I take the controls, the forward visibility is excellent and the boat, although almost stationary, hardly rolls. I put the throttles forward and we start to sail, at 10 knots Navetta 75 goes brilliantly, with a perfectly horizontal trim and not a hint of sinking aft, it’s immediately clear that she is at ease in this element.

Between 10 and 12 knots she takes off the wake, but she does so completely progressively, without varying her trim, so much so that you have to look at the stern monitor to realize that. But that’s just the beginning because as she accelerates further Navetta 75 reveals a propensity for speed that is decidedly unusual for boats of this size. She quickly reaches 20/22 knots and then, unperturbed, continues to increase her speed until she reaches an unthinkable 25.6 knots, which is really a lot for a boat of this size.

The most distinctive thing about her, however, is that, even with this sea and at this speed, she gives the feeling of sitting on a terrace watching the sea, the level of comfort she is capable of is simply magnificent.

I slow down and start trying to figure out what the cruising speeds are but, after several attempts, I simply realize that this is a trawler capable of being comfortable at any speed, both in displacement and on plane. Navetta 75 can easily sail at 10 or 20 knots, at 15 or 25, it is only up to her captain to choose.

Doing this study, however, I also realize that, when travelling at 10 knots, wonder within a miracle, consumption is just six litres per mile, which would basically be 65 litres per hour: basically, the consumption of a RIB with two latest-generation outboards. Incredible. Accelerating, consumption certainly rises, but it always remains in a very low range, an irrefutable sign of a particularly well-designed hull.

The range is also remarkable, ranging from almost 1,000 miles of displacement cruising (at just under 9 knots, 983 miles are covered) to the 300 miles of classic cruising speed of 20 knots. In any case, long voyages can be undertaken wholeheartedly, without the hassle of planning stops for refuelling.

I re-engage the throttle and, at around 20/22 knots, I begin to make a series of turns that Navetta 75 slyly tackles without uncertainty, always remaining firmly planted in the water, sailing undaunted on her course, never giving back a jolt, always giving me a great sense of balance and absolute safety.

I leave the controls to the next journalist and, while my colleague enjoys his test, I go down to the indoor helm station. While from the Flybridge the feeling of speed was reduced, from here it is practically non-existent, it feels like steering a 30-metre superyacht . I wander around the main deck and then go down to the lower deck and enter the cabins. Here, silence is absolute, not a squeak can be heard.

This new Navetta 75 is really a great boat.

The Navetta 75 in detail

Let’s start by saying that, without wanting to offend the other yards, the spaces, habitability and solutions of the Navetta 75 can only be compared to yachts of 30 metres or more. In fact, there are no less than three complete decks on which the interiors and exteriors are spread, and where Absolute Yachts has also managed to create a dedicated crew quarters that includes the upper helm station, the lower cockpit and the galley. This solution, typical only of superyachts, allows the captain and hostesses to manage navigation and the needs of all the guests on board, without hindrance and in total privacy.

Let’s start with the Flybridge which is a complete living area that uses the entire extension of the trawler to create four zones: the area dedicated to steering the yacht, a huge dining area (with a table for 8 people, a full kitchen and a mobile bar), a lounge area complete with modular sofas and a huge sunbathing area that even houses beach loungers.

The bow is home to a second lounge area with a U-shaped sofa complete with central table and a large sundeck that also serves as the opposite seating area of this second open-air lounge. It will therefore also be possible here, perhaps to have more privacy when in port or to enjoy fresh air when at anchor, to dine al fresco in a large equipped area that can also, of course, be shaded with carbon poles and tarpaulins.

But it is at the stern that Navetta 75 has another great surprise in store. Here, in fact, Absolute has created a terrace that, with no architectural barriers, directly overlooks the sea. Three wonderful modular sofas (all the external furnishings are really beautiful and functional, made especially for the shipyard) seat as many as six guests who, thanks to the central table, are pampered both by the view of the panorama and by the clever external bar unit which, as well as containing everything needed for the guests’ satisfaction, also conceals the boat’s third helm station. Mooring aft from this position will therefore be very easy, a solution that denotes the yard’s focus on simplified use of the boat.

Navetta 75 – Interior

Entering the Main Deck from the stern, the view is simply phenomenal, the windows are enormous and the absence of the bulwark, replaced with an exquisite and invisible stanchion, creates the sensation of being in direct contact with the sea while amplifying the already enormous spaces available. The workmanship of the furniture, the choice of woods and leathers are decidedly above average, the construction quality that this shipyard produces improves from year to year and, with Navetta 75, reaches truly high levels, which can be seen by observing the details and touching the individual components.

At the entrance on the port side there is an L-shaped sofa for 5/6 people, while on the starboard side is a low piece of furniture that, in addition to providing storage space, conceals the electric movement of the television, which, when raised, effectively creates a “cinema area” of considerable size. Towards the bow, again to the left, there is a huge dining table for 10 people which, another touch of genius, is separated from the galley by a concealed electrically operated mirrored wall.

The galley is huge, beautiful and, because of its construction, can be left exposed or closed off via the electric wall just mentioned. This room has two exits, one on the side-deck and one in the helm station (which in turn is connected to the flybridge). For the crew, it is the ideal solution to be move around freely, without disturbing guests.

The indoor helm station is a concentrate of technology and space, from which you can control everything without moving from the pilot seat. Thanks to the 3 large displays, it will be possible to view the bow and stern cameras, manage navigation or the domotics of the entire yacht.

Sleeping Zone

A staircase in the bow leads to the Master Suite, which is located on a slightly raised level compared to the other cabins. The owner’s cabin is decidedly out of the ordinary, it is enormous and takes advantage of the raised level and large windows to create an ensemble that to define suggestive would be an understatement. The bed is King Size and placed centrally, surrounded by large walk-through spaces bordered to port by the woodwork and to starboard by another low piece of furniture, while a door to the left of the bed leads to the walk-in wardrobe. The forward bulkhead, on the other hand, houses the television and marks the entrance to the en suite bathroom where, just to give you an idea of its size, there is a marble countertop housing two washbasins, the toilet area complete with bidet and a large separate shower.

The rest of the sleeping area is accessed via the staircase to starboard on the main deck. The VIP Cabin, located on the beam, is in fact a second master which, taking advantage of the yacht’s full width (5.61 m) creates a truly enormous space. Here, too, there are a king-size bed and floor plans of considerable size. To starboard there is a graceful boiserie while to port there is a head where the marble top containing the large sink is exposed, while to port and starboard are the separate toilet rooms and separate shower stall.

Continuing around is the third guest cabin, which also has a queen-size double bed and dedicated facilities that unexpectedly contains access to a huge walk-in wardrobe and, continuing on, also a technical area that allows us to reach the boat’s bow facilities.  Then there is a twin-bedded cabin with a head that, in addition to servicing the cabin, also serves as a day toilet for the rest of the boat.

There is plenty of room for the crew, who can rely on three beds, one of which is in a room reserved for the captain. This room is also equipped with a large window overlooking the aft beach club, a very useful solution for providing fresh air to the whole environment. A washing machine, dryer and soundproofed access to the huge engine room are also installed in this area.
