Absolute Navetta 58 (Mk1, 2014 - 2019) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 58 has won 1 award, most recently for "Trawler Yacht & Aft Cabin"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 58 delivers speeds of up to 27 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Absolute 58 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Fairline 53 and Azimut 53 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 58 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Azimut 55 and Outer Reef Yachts 610 Motoryacht also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Absolute 58 delivers a steady 23 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Fairline 53 with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots. The Absolute 58 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Grand Banks 54 Heritage EU, with the slowest cruising speed of 16 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Outer Reef Yachts 610 Motoryacht impresses with its extensive range of 1,286 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Fairline 53, Sirena Yachts 58 and Absolute 52 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Fairline 53 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 26 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Absolute Navetta 58 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
