For the fourth appointment of “The Absolute Yachts”, the special section that tells about Absolute Yachts’ world through the voice of its players, we approach boat owners sailing between Florida and Bahamas.

READY FOR THE ABSOLUTE CHALLENGE NOW MORE THAN EVER.

One of the most admired shipyard in the world was the location of the Absolute World Meeting 2018, from 19^th to 21^st June 2018 in Podenzano (Piacenza), a long-awaited event for the Absolute dealers, who arrived from every corner of the earth to set the strategical routes for the year ahead.

This model revolutionizes the “space-and-light” concept, totally going beyond any conventional references, as well as traditional
manufacturing restrictions and limits.

How not to analyze the goals in view of the upcoming events and Boat Shows? The nautical season 2018/2019 will be starting as usual with the Absolute Weekend in Varazze, the first occasion for the public to see the Navetta 48 that will be officially presented during the Yachting Festival Cannes. And the novelties of the season don’t end there, because the Boot Düsseldorf 2019 will be the location of a new model’s launch, which will implement elegant and innovative details.

Among the key concepts of the Absolute World Meeting, the idea of a team, a well-established team, that keeps growing together day by day, breathing life into new ideas that strengthen the team itself.

Absolute Global Project keeps being a success.
During a ceremony that took place February 6^th at Palazzo Giureconsulti in Milan, UPS has awarded Absolute Yachts as winner of “Export2Succeed” for being the best exporting SME of the year. This initiative has been launched together with “L’Imprenditore”, the monthly magazine of “Piccola Industria di Confindutria”: the aim is to promote the internationalization of the SME and of the “Made in Italy” products, recognizing the Italian export champions.

A board leaded by Diego Mingarelli, Vice President of “Piccola Industria di Confindustria” has evaluated the nominations: the other members were Karl Haberkorn, UPS Italy managing director; Fabrizio Rigolio, Rizoma CEO; Stefano Zapponini, executive manager of the magazine “L’imprenditore”. Karl Haberkorn stated that the company who has won this award “has shown a concept going beyond the Italian boards”, adding also “We hope that its success could show how doing business in an increasingly
international market could be a winning strategy for the SME and the Italian start-ups”.

Absolute stood out between the nominated companies thanks to its ambitious project, the “Absolute Global Project”, here described and summarized in the words of Engineer Cesare Mastroianni, Absolute VP Sales & CCO: “The well-known crisis at the end of the 2000s has given rise to our active reaction and our determination to overcome the market difficulties through an ambitious and expensive project. During the six-year period between 2012 and 2017, the company has never moved backwards, considering the workforce, the advertising investments and above all the investments for the ongoing renewal of the products. This led to the Global Project that has been involving us in three dimensions: technical, organizational and communicative.”

To best manage the presence in the different Countries, Absolute has been supported over the years by a solid sales network. The organization includes a satellite company in the USA, the handling of 3 international events namely Cannes, Düsseldorf and Hong Kong, a technical training of the local players through meetings and trainings at our headquarters and in several international locations, as well as the participation at over 50 international Boat Shows.

The Global Project has virtually led Absolute close to all the yachting users, who perceive its Italian identity not only through the creativity of its products but also through the reliability of the territorial organization: the Absolute creations offer to the ship-owners more extensive, more comfortable and more efficient uses compared to the competitors and to the traditional design guidelines.

Today the Absolute Global Project success is a reality. “Today Absolute has become a sold global reality of the recreational boating. During the years of the project’s development, we have received many international awards in Europe and Asia and above all our turnover has grown in double figures, right when the international yachting market was facing a shrinking or static period”, concludes Mr. Mastroianni.

From the deep of the heart, the Absolute family wishes a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful Magical New Year to all the Sea Lovers!!!

Make Christmas 2017 an absolutely peaceful and joyful experience for all your beloved!!

FLIBS 2017

If you are an authentic sea lover, you can’t help falling in love with Fort Lauderdale, in Florida, the “Yachting Capital of the World“. This is why Absolute couldn’t miss the greatest boating spectacle in USA: the 59^th Fort Lauderdale International Boat.
Again this year, we were so honoured to carry the Italian pride at this international boating reunion, featuring every year thousands of visitors coming from all over the world. And then, we shall admit it, the 8 Absolute jewels on display really stood out from the crowd!

Once again, the real guarantee of Absolute’s success certainly was the unique fleet that we had at our side: Navetta 52, Navetta 58, 60 Fly, 64 Fly together with 50 Fly, winner of the European Power Boat of the Year 2017; 52 Fly – after its superb restyling; the new 58 Fly and… Ladies and Gentleman, the great flagship Navetta 73! Thanks to all of them, the Absolute team brings back home great satisfaction and incredible countless moments… but now, we still can’t wait to collect others in our next adventure.

Experience with us the FLIBS’ vibes, taking a look at the photos below.
But stay tuned, the best is yet to come!

Innovation is not a relative concept, it is Absolute.

Imagine you are in the most glamour, up-to-date, complete and attended yachting event of the season. Imagine that you are wandering along the piers, after seeing so many hulls and decks, just searching for something never seen, something unexpected but charming and attractive. Suppose also that technology, modernity and optimization are your preferred keywords every time you address a new purchase, no matter if a functional device or a funny toy.

Guess what? Now you can stop the search, you have won: “Navetta 73” matches all your expectations.

In the modern yachting history, this is the first time that a single unit deploys an unprecedented mix of ingredients. Her skin (that is shared with the other sisters in the Navetta family) resembles that one of the traditional explorers and brave deep sea wave-piercers. “At the helm, you will feel steering facing each time new challenges.”

And, as a matter of facts, she gently crosses the waves both in full displacement as well as in gliding modes, without discontinuity, without “forbidden speeds”, while keeping her proud stem always an inch from the water. This is possible thanks to the brand-new Volvo Penta D13 IPS-30 rated 1350. “You can set her throttle as per the mood of the day (or the conditions of the sea), basically without affecting the visibility from the helm, nor the total fuel consumption, nor the maneuvering ability, nor the stability: to make a long story short, she is seaworthy, indeed.”

Last, but not least, the comfort on board is simply awesome. This a twofold story: despite the number 73 could recall volumes and zones already seen onboard of many other 70’ yachts, this big one resembles to a more-than-85 motoryacht. The same is true as per the natural materials used to detail every single piece of this astonishing “building”, woods, leathers, ceramics, carbon fiber, and so on. Seeing is believing. On the other hand, soundproofing and climate control have been geared by top-notch engineering of ever. The efficiency of all the onboard devices (hydraulic, mechanics, electronics, air conditioning, navigation, communication, entertainment, …) are under the wide open eye of an integrated Boening supervising system, with remote capability. “You can plan, know and steer the whole yacht under your fingertips.”

These should have been the thoughts of the international jury of the “World Yachts Trophies 2017”, when they have assigned the “Best Innovation” award to our new flagship, “Navetta 73”, because she is The Innovation.

Enjoy her, definitely.
