Interior

Inside the yacht, there is an aft galley and bar area, which is appreciated for its serviceability to the cockpit. The yacht's interior has Italian styling, with high contrast between pale and dark high-gloss wood.

Nick also highlights practical features such as the overhead handrails throughout the boat, the hi-lo TV, and the lighting integrated into the handrails. The yacht's helm has twin screens, camera, and gyro stabilizer system. 

In the VIP cabin, Absolute has offset the bed, which increases the accessibility and storage space. The contrasting woodwork is a wonderful design feature, along with large windows and blinds for privacy. The cabin's ensuite and day access to the heads are also mentioned. Nick finds the sliding doors, which are completely concealed when open, to be a notable feature.  

Absolute has provided good access to the service areas and handrails for moving around the yacht.

The master cabin is impressive, with dressing area, large windows, and detailed woodwork. He also admires the ensuite with its separate shower stall and sliding door.

On Deck

On deck, he comments positively on the yacht's outdoor aft barbecue area, which is considered perfect for sea-side catering. There is a roll-down screen for privacy and shade, as well as a convenient IPS controller for the pods.

The foredeck has fender storage and a seating area with a sunbathing section. The flybridge has an opening section, an extending sunshade, a bar, and a central seat with additional surrounding seats, which has the potential to be a very social area. The boat also has a storage area that could be converted into a crew area if desired.

Performance

In the engine room, there are a pair of Volvo Penta IPS-650 engines.  These give 33 knots top speed with a range of 250 nm at cruising speed. Also showcased are the boat's Seakeeper gyrostabilizer system, the battery management systems, and the fire extinguishing system.

In Summary

Nick appears to have a high opinion of the Absolute Navetta 52 yacht, praising its design, performance, and functional features. He believes it to be an excellent option for anyone looking for a comfortable and efficient yacht.
