Characterized by the true spirit of innovation
Absolute continues its development and overcomes itself to the point to deal with no awe with shipyard existing for a long time in the nautical market. Innovation, dynamism and the constancy of this Italian shipyard have allowed the creation of a luxurious and high quality range of boats, which has thirteen models.
In July 2012, the shipyard presented its new creation: this is a flybridge boat over 70 feet. The project is entirely original: although previous experience is always the seed from which sprout new ideas, the 72 feet is built with hull, deck, superstructure and interior totally new.
Building on the success of the Absolute 70 STY, the company of Piacenza city, entered a new universe, with the determination of becoming internationally prominent. The new flagship Absolute 72 FLY pays tribute to the quality and elegance of the Made in Italy, and presents itself as the new benchmark for the entire category.
With the launch of the 72 feet, Absolute not only expands the fly range: with this project, entirely result of the Absolute D&R Lab, the brand strengthens its ongoing process of renewal as a nautical shipyard, more active and innovative in the entire international scene.
On the basis of this project, there are two key figures of the nautical market:
Angelo Gobbi, big name in the boating industry, who has dedicated his life to creation, developed and believed in a product that proves to be more fascinating. Sergio Maggi, Absolute Designer, creator of the Absolute “Diamond Spearhead” design, with his high professional team have crowned this project.
The technological and stylistic creative originality of the Absolute 72FLY was recognized and celebrated by the two “Best Boat of the Year” prizes assigned for Innovation and Best Lay-out: at the presence of the most important yacht designers and builders, gathered in a prestigious evening on the “Croisette”, for the third time in succession, Absolute has seen its most typical values being recognized, i.e. the great care of interiors’ design and the fulfillment of original ideas at all levels. The two prizes have certainly been an appreciated surprise, but they do not get isolated: already in 2010 the Absolute 70STY and in 2011 the Absolute 53STY were recognized as the “Best boat of the Year” in the related categories.
The scale up to the flybridge is integrated in the same boat structure, allowing a high comfort in accessing to the upper deck. The latter has been elegantly furnished with a sofa and a table for 8 people and in front of the table, there are a cabinet with a grill, sink and refrigerator. The driving console is for 2 people and it’s ergonomic and well protected, positioned to give optimum visibility.
The bow area is versatile, equipped with a great sofa and a table to enjoy the horizon in the complete privacy. You can also have a large sunbathing or sun loungers: here you can enjoy the landscape and be lulled by the sweet feeling of freedom on the sea.
Returning to the stern, through the convenient side passageways, you can find the entrance door for the galley made of mirrored glass that enhances the environment giving it a touch of refinement, but when the door opens, the galley appears in all its breadth. In fact the door has n. 6 leafs in order to create a single large comfortable room.
As in other units of the Absolute range flybridge dated 2012, also for the new 72, the windows are on the entire length of the boat and they allow maximum visibility from the driver’s seat. From the outside, the 72 feet looks like a real gallery of crystal. Regarding the inside, all large windows offer more brightness and sublimate the view giving the feeling to be into a veranda on the sea.
The interior is very nice and shows great ergonomics thanks to clear and warm colours such as the “Noce Canaletto” and details with dark brown veins in relief. Here you have the result of a detailed study, aimed to achieve levels of comfort close to perfection.
The division of space allows the creation of three different areas. First of all, the large living room with two sofas facing each other. Going to starboard bow, you can find the dining area, with a rectangular walnut table with n. 8 chairs. Thanks to this area, you forget to be on a boat since everything is very spacious and comfortable “as in own home”. However, the great outside landscape, offered by the large side windows, refreshes the charm and serenity of a relaxing dinner at anchor, where the view extends free in nature.
On the port side, you can find the kitchen, built as an open space plan to share with friends and family also the times when you preparing your cocktail or dinner: it is for this reason that there is a sofa at the bow of the kitchen. In any case this area is made, the quality of materials and functionality of the equipment are the masters. But it is definitely the console to capture the attention of those who love to drive the boat all year: large display, carefully planned ergonomics to make this position comfortable for the execution of the manoeuvres thanks also to the side door. Moreover, the mooring operations can be carried out also by the cockpit when the docking station is required.
The lower deck of the Absolute 72 Flybridge is fully dedicated to the rooms. Thanks to an optimization of the volume – conducted ably – this new model has a layout with n. 4 complete and fully functional cabins and 3 toilets.
The ownership’s cabin is obviously full beam and it has large side windows, the double bed is at the centre of the cabin where the owners find their complete privacy to the fullest capabilities. At the desk you can have internet access and on comfortable sofa you can spend time engrossed in reading or in music water’s edge. On the starboard side is a cabinet with drawers and a fridge handy for small needs.
At bow area, there is the VIP cabin where the great side windows fill with light, making welcoming environment and exalting the refined nuances of furniture equipped with two tall cabinets. Even in this case, the guests have a private toilet with a large shower with seat.
The two central cabins are furnished with twin beds, the port side cabin has directly access to the toilet flanked at the same. The toilette has a shower.
In the aft are, you can find the crew cabin, with two single beds, side by side thanks to the volumes which offer greater comfort.
This cabin can be also equipped with a kitchen dedicated to the crew and a separated shower in the toilette that can be richly furnished in order to be used by guests after a fun swim.
