The Absolute fleet is moving into a higher bracket. The latest brainchild of the international team of architects, designers and engineers in the Absolute Research and Development Lab, the company’s creative department, is the Absolute 70’, the company’s new flagship yacht.
The vessel is designed to establish new standards in the sector with state-of the-art materials and design, and considerable focus on liveability. With 3 cabins, the owner’s and the VIP one will be true masterpieces – lounges with sweeping windows creating subtle plays of light. Also the other interior spaces reveal a sophisticated focus on interior design: a skilful mix of the finest woods, varnishes, steel and glass will bring to life perfect settings for all moments of life on board.
The exterior is also a perfect blend of functionality and sheer beauty, with solutions that make for seamless communication between the various areas: this can be seen in the dual passageway in the bridge area and in the electrically operated side doors that give easy and immediate access to the bows directly from the steering area.
The greatest attention has been paid to the saloon area, which merges into the cockpit, creating a single area devoted to entertainment. The undisputed star here is the Home Theater System, which includes a large-format screen that can also be seen from the stern.
Light is a key aspect of this area: the retractable roof of the saloon and the second Hard Top above the cockpit can be opened to bathe the area in light and give a great sense of spaciousness.
The bow area is devoted to relaxation, with adjustable backrests on a Ushaped sofa. It blends into the sun pad, creating a generously sized area for sunbathing or enjoying an aperitif from the incorporated refrigerator. The large sofa in the cockpit, with a bar unit and grill offers total versatility. Also in the stern there is a hydraulic platform, a storage bay for the tender, and access to the crew’s cabin with room for two.
The Absolute 70 attains a speed of 29.2 knots thanks to its four Volvo Penta IPS 600 drives of 435 HP each. For coming alongside and casting off, the four IPS engines can be controlled via two joysticks.
