Absolute 47 FLY Review (2019 Edition) by Aquaholic

Interior

Nick admired the lighting in the cockpit, an aspect he found echoed throughout the interior. The boat had a galley-aft layout with a fridge on the opposite side. There was storage space and a TV that could be raised from the back. He particularly liked the large opening window and door next to the helm that provided ample ventilation. The helm had dual Raymarine screens and a carbon fiber effect. The helm seat features a lift bolster that facilitates both standing and driving.

The master cabin, located at the front, impressed Nick with its size, large windows, and offset bed, providing a good walkway. He appreciated the sliding doors in the ensuite for their space-saving design. The separate shower stall and high ceilings throughout the boat were also aspects he found impressive.

Nick visited the third cabin and second head, both of which he deemed good sizes for a 47-foot boat. The VIP cabin featured a walk-in wardrobe, a feature he liked. There is also an option to install a washing machine on the boat.

The bathing platform had a locker for ropes, fenders, and other small items, an appreciated detail.

Nick liked the high rails and forward seating area, which could convert into a flat sunbathing spot. The flybridge is long because the overhang extends to provide shade over the aft-cockpit seating area. The fixed hardtop, barbecue, sink, fridge, and icemaker were notable features.

The 47 Fly has Volvo Penta's D6 IPS-650s, each with a horsepower of 480. The engine room is well laid out and neat. The yacht's top speed is estimated at 29 knots, with a cruising speed in the low to mid-20s and a range of about 250 miles.

In his final assessment, Nick found the Absolute 47 FLY an interesting boat with many clever ideas. He noted the absence of a crew cabin, but considered that normal for a yacht of its size, which is primarily operated by the owner. Overall, he recommended viewers to give this yacht a closer look.
