Absolute – whose dealers in Asia include Absolute Marine – has revealed details of the Navetta 50, which will join the Navetta 58 and Navetta 66 as the inland Italian builder’s three world premieres at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival from September 8-13.

The three new models are part of a rapid upgrade of the semi-displacement Navetta line, which includes the Navetta 62 (Review, Issue 86) that debuted at Cannes in September 2025 along with the 70 Fly, the flybridge of the shipyard’s planing line.

The Navetta 50 is geared towards owner-operation and “a cruising experience in a compact, manageable format”, with an intuitive helm station, a side access door, and circulation routes designed to facilitate manoeuvring during navigation and docking. However, along with three guest cabins, there’s a single cabin aft that can be used for crew or an additional guest berth.

Like other new Absolute models, the cockpit features modular furniture and a glass parapet, allowing a clear view over the swim platform. The foredeck, reached by symmetrical protected walkways beneath the flybridge overhangs, includes an integrated sunbathing area and integrated lighting.

Starboard stairs from the cockpit lead up to a step-free flybridge featuring a C-shaped sofa wrapped around the aft end and a table, while to port is a wet bar with refrigerator, ice maker and barbecue. Forward, a single helm seat is flanked by companion seating on both sides that combine with a full-width sunbathing area forward of the helm station.

Inside, the Navetta 50 introduces the new Absolute aesthetic, defined by light-toned woods. The interior starts with an open aft galley positioned to serve both the cockpit and saloon. Up two steps, the impressive saloon features full-height glazing, a three-sided sofa and a table to port, and a two-person sofa-cum-daybed to starboard, aft of the two-seat helm station with side door.

The lower deck features the owner’s cabin forward with a bed aligned diagonally and large, sea-level windows, walk-in wardrobe, custom storage units and a starboard en-suite bathroom with a separate shower. Midships is a VIP cabin to port with forward-facing bed and a twin cabin to starboard, while the day head to port includes a separate shower.
