20m Absolute Navetta 66 and 17m Navetta 58 Motor Yachts to Make US Debuts at FLIBS 2026

Italian yacht builder Absolute will introduce two of its latest Navetta models to the American market at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) 2026, taking place from the 28th of October to the 1st of November. 

The 20m Absolute Navetta 66 and 17m Absolute Navetta 58 will make their US debuts at the five-day event, showcasing the Italian builder's latest approach to cruising yacht design. Both feature GRP construction, in-house exterior and interior styling, and Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, with accommodation for eight and six guests, respectively.

Two new additions to Absolute's Navetta range

Following their world debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, the two models will make their first American appearances in Fort Lauderdale. Known as the Navetta 66 Aurora and Navetta 58 Andromeda, both yachts reflect Absolute's focus on maximising interior volume, natural light and onboard versatility. While the larger Navetta 66 offers additional guest accommodation and more extensive living spaces, the Navetta 58 provides a three-cabin alternative for owners seeking a more compact cruising yacht.

Navetta 66 introduces versatile outdoor living

The Navetta 66 has been designed around a series of outdoor spaces, including a sheltered aft cockpit, expansive flybridge and forward seating area. Large windows connect the main saloon with the surrounding sea, while the cockpit provides an outdoor dining and relaxation area overlooking the stern. The flybridge offers further space for entertaining and enjoying views underway or at anchor, with the overall arrangement intended to support both extended cruising and time spent outdoors.

Four-cabin accommodation aboard the Navetta 66

Inside, the motor yacht features an open-plan main saloon with expansive windows, freestanding sofas and a dining area with an electrically adjustable table, allowing the space to adapt between entertaining and relaxation. A galley is positioned aft, separated from the main living area by a low glass partition to maintain an open feel. Light wood finishes, neutral upholstery and contemporary furnishings create a bright, understated atmosphere throughout. Below deck, accommodation is arranged across four cabins for eight guests, including a forward owner's suite, a VIP cabin, a twin guest cabin and a versatile fourth cabin positioned close to sea level that can also serve as a private lounge. Three double cabins feature en-suite bathrooms, while a dedicated day head and separate crew accommodation provide additional convenience and privacy.

Navetta 58 focuses on practical cruising and open spaces

At 17m, the Navetta 58 adopts a contemporary profile with flowing exterior lines and an emphasis on usable deck space. Its aft cockpit provides a sheltered area for dining and relaxing, while the flybridge creates an additional outdoor living area above the main deck. Large windows allow natural light into the saloon and help establish a visual connection with the sea, with the flybridge yacht's layout balancing social areas and private accommodation for owners and guests.

Navetta 58 offers three cabins for six guests

The Navetta 58's interior has been designed entirely by Absolute, with a spacious main deck saloon featuring panoramic windows, a comfortable lounge and dining area, and a galley positioned aft, providing convenient access to the cockpit. The open-plan arrangement creates a natural flow between the interior and outdoor living spaces, while contemporary furnishings and light finishes enhance the sense of space. Below deck, accommodation is arranged across three cabins for six guests, including an en-suite owner's suite, a VIP cabin and a third cabin with convertible berths. Three guest bathrooms and a dedicated day head provide additional convenience, while separate crew accommodation for two supports longer periods aboard.
