Absolute Navetta 70 Review (2024 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Absolute Navetta 70 has a drop bathing platform designed for launching and retrieving a tender. It also provides access to the crew cabin and engine space.

The cockpit features a seating arrangement across the aft section, a height-adjustable table that folds for dining, and a glass transom for uninterrupted sea views. There is also a small bar area and a docking station with IPS control, thruster control, and a Garmin screen.

The flybridge is a spacious area with freestanding furniture, including sunbeds and a large dining table. A bar area includes a fridge, ice maker, and storage. The upper helm features multifunction Garmin screens, Volvo Penta engine instrumentation, a VHF radio, throttles, an IPS joystick, and a bow thruster.

The side decks include large windows and cutaways in the bulwarks for improved views from the saloon. The bow has an outdoor lounge area with flexible seating, storage, and pop-up lights. A Fusion stereo controller is installed for music control. The crew area has additional sleeping and storage space, a separate toilet, and a shower.

The galley features a half-deck layout typical of Absolute, with a fridge-freezer, all-electric Miele cooking appliances, a sink, a dishwasher, and an extractor fan. There is also a dedicated dining table with chairs, enhancing the sense of a formal dining space.

The saloon has freestanding furniture for a home-like feel. A TV rises from a sideboard, and storage compartments are available. The design includes cutaway bulwarks for enhanced sea views.

The helm station includes a side access door to the deck. Garmin screens provide a surround-view parking system with cameras. The system displays lighting, power levels, and navigation data. The Volvo Penta screen and a ScanStrut charger for wireless phone charging are also present.

Owner's Cabin

The owner’s cabin, located in the bow, has large hull windows with circular opening sections for ventilation. A pocket door leads to a dressing area with drawers and storage, as well as space for a TV. The ensuite bathroom features twin sinks, a shower, and a separate toilet.

Guest Accommodation

The lower deck has two guest cabins. One has twin beds that can slide together to form a double. Both cabins have wardrobes, storage, and porthole windows. They share access to a day head with a separate shower.

A second owner-standard cabin is also located on the lower deck. It includes a dressing area, a walk-in wardrobe, and a large ensuite with a frosted-glass shower door. This cabin offers comparable luxury to the bow suite, making it suitable for co-owners or VIP guests.

The engine room houses Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines, each producing 1000 horsepower. The boat reaches 27 knots at full speed, cruising at between 16-20 knots and giving a range of approximately 250 nautical miles. At lower speeds, range increases significantly. A generator, Seakeeper, fuel filters, and hot water systems are also installed.

The Absolute Navetta 70 has an unusual layout, with its half-deck system making a big difference in how the space feels and flows. The two cabins that could each be considered the owner’s suite are a real standout, whether for shared ownership or just giving guests a proper VIP experience. The level of finish and detailing throughout makes it feel more ‘big league’ than a typical yacht of this size, from the proper dining setup in the galley to the freestanding furniture in the saloon that adds a home-like feel. The cutaway bulwarks give it a fantastic connection to the water, and the flybridge is vast, with plenty of space to configure seating as needed. It’s a clever yacht that feels genuinely comfortable, practical, and luxurious all at once.
