Absolute Yachts is once again focussing on the stern with the Navetta 66, but now guests are accommodated aft in a fourth cabin. The Italians plan to launch the 20-metre semi-glider in 2026.

The aft crew cabin has become something of a trademark of Absolute Yachts. And even on the flagship, the Navetta 75the stern compartment, blessed with a sea view, is reserved for the crew. This is also the case with the smallest of the line, the 48, and with the recently presented project Navetta 58. With ten models, the Navetta line from the Podenzano shipyard is extremely finely graded.

Guests now sleep in the rear

Now Absolute is moving away from the concept with the Navetta 66. Not quite, because the 1A position on the 19.63 metre long semi-glider is once again occupied by a cabin, albeit one for guests. The sofa can be electrically converted into a double bed and the window can be opened upwards. To access the aft suite, the stairs leading to the bathing platform on the port side must be folded up as usual.

The aft deck of the Navetta 66 has been fitted with a glass bulwark that offers a clear view of the water while ensuring safety for all passengers. This open-plan design creates a smooth transition between the main saloon and the outdoor area. A retractable awning provides shade and privacy, even when the yacht is in harbour or at anchor.

Flybridge with 360-degree panorama

The Navetta 66's flybridge stands out due to its size. It offers space for a modular lounge area that can be flexibly adapted to different usage scenarios. A fully equipped wet room with bar completes this area.

The helm station on the flybridge has been equipped with a frameless windscreen, which provides unrestricted all-round visibility and makes steering a shared experience. In terms of propulsion, Absolute remains true to Volvo Penta's IPS drives. There is a choice of diesel engines with either 662 or 735 kilowatts of power.

Interior with two colour concepts

The interior of the Navetta 66 is characterised by generous glass surfaces that provide plenty of natural light. Customers can choose between two colour schemes: "Sunrise" in bright, radiant tones or "Sunset" in deeper, more subdued colours. The lounge has an electrically height-adjustable dining table with six separate chairs. A swivelling, retractable television provides an uninterrupted view of the sea when not in use.

The owner's cabin extends across the entire width of the ship in the foredeck. Large panoramic windows provide a flood of natural light. The VIP cabin, a twin cabin amidships and separate crew quarters complete the accommodation options on board.
