Absolute will showcase its unique approach to luxury yachting at FLIBS 2024, presenting five boats from its fleet.
Debuting for the first time in the U.S. is the Navetta 70, a yacht that signifies a new direction for both Absolute and
for the industry, with a new and innovative design approach. Other Absolute models on display include the Navetta
75, the 52 Fly, the Navetta 52, and the Navetta 48. Absolute’s display will be located at Bahia Mar Yachting Center,
Face Dock #17.

This year's Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the largest in-water boat show in the world, will have
over 1,000 brands exhibiting, more than 1,300 boats on display, over 100,000 visitors, and an economic impact
estimated at $1.79 billion. The event runs from October 30th to November 3rd, 2024, with water-taxis offering
convenient access to the seven show sites.

The Navetta 70's keyword "Allure" is a concise summary of its exceptional characteristics: this craft offers superb
looks, comprehensive amenities, and excellent seagoing comfort. Its expansive interiors are hallmarked by Absolute's
habitual excellence in the use of high-quality natural materials, with a sophisticated colour scheme based on white,
black, and grey with details in bronze and stainless steel. The vast windows provide exceptional views of the
seascapes, which can also be enjoyed from Navetta 70's outdoor areas, and in particular from the exceptionally
spacious flybridge which itself comprises a sequence of perfectly integrated spaces. The flybridge has a high-tech
helm station, dining facilities with table, outdoor galley, wet bar, a retractable canopy for shade, and an aft leisure
area with furniture that can be rearranged to your taste.

The Navetta 75 is now the largest yacht in Absolute's fleet, winner of the 2022 World Yacht Trophies Prize for “Best
Interior Design” at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Its keyword is “Sphere,” expressing the craft's performance and
luxury for an optimal cruising experience. The Navetta 75 feels much larger than its actual length, a result of its stateof-the-art marine architecture in which all the constructional details heighten the sense of contact with the marine
setting. The brand's hallmark features showcased here include extensive glazing, sliding doors, superb interiors with
carefully-designed lighting, beautiful furnishings crafted in the finest materials by skilled Italian artisans, and a sense
of space optimized by ample headroom and a limited use of steps.

Outside, the decks offer a combination of comfort and flexibility, with modular furniture that can be rearranged to
suit the occasion, retractable canopies for shade, and a convenient beach platform for access to the sea and water
toys. Navetta 75 is in every way a milestone in Absolute's constant quest for excellence.

The Absolute 52 Fly was presented for the first time in Miami last year. Its keyword "Direction" suggests this boat's
importance: it represents a new point of reference, far more expansive and more comprehensively equipped when
compared to other boats in its category. Inside, the 52 Fly is a constant surprise for the massive sense of space it
presents, with a superbly detailed salon connected to a well-equipped galley that features a large pantry and a fullheight fridge-freezer. The full-beam owner stateroom is located in the bow for optimum privacy and peacefulness, a
VIP stateroom midship whose luxurious finish is worthy of a second master stateroom, a third twin-berth cabin, and a
multi-function crew cabin. The deck areas comprise a cockpit terrace with open bulwarks for the best possible views
of the sea; a very beautiful flybridge that is always a favourite with owner and guests for its privileged views and
comprehensive furnishings, and the bow area with triple sunlounges, settees and table. There is no doubt that
Absolute Fly 52 represents a completely new concept in the world of luxury yachting.

With the Navetta 52, Absolute won the Adriatic Boat of the Year award in the category from 51 to 60 feet. In fact, its
“Appeal” – the word chosen as its keyword – is based on its architecture, specifically designed to ensure maximum
possible enjoyment during a cruise in whatever the conditions. Absolute's attention to detail ensures a high level of
liveability in all its spaces, from the flybridge with its high-tech helm surrounded by sofas, outdoor galley, dining table
and terrace, to the sun loungers at the bows for enjoyment and socializing. Inside the main salon, the extensive
glazing ensures all-round views, opening onto the cockpit to create a functional space looking over the water. Interior
space on the lower deck is optimised by sliding doors and generous headroom throughout the three guest
staterooms. These comprise a spacious full-beam master cabin midships with a superbly-appointed en-suite
bathroom, a VIP stateroom in the bow with an equally high level of luxury and elegance, and a third cabin with two
single berths. As in all Absolute yachts, the premium-quality materials used throughout ensure constant enjoyment in
every detail. The Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system delivers excellent performance and reduced fuel consumption.

The Navetta 48 is described as the Absolute “Essence”, and it eloquently expresses all the essential features of the
brand's unique approach to marine design, optimizing space and light to ensure an unforgettable experience on
board. Spontaneous cruises are made absolutely unforgettable by its superb comfort, extensive storage space, and
the constant feel of class and luxury imparted by the premium quality materials used throughout. All the interiors are
enhanced by panoramic views and high ceilings, with a sense of generous space that far exceeds the boat's physical
dimensions. In particular, the salon comprises a roomy galley perfectly positioned with respect to the cockpit, and the
owner benefits from the exceptional visibility provided by a windshield without central columns. A side door provides
rapid access to the side deck for convenience during mooring operations. The accommodations are comprised of a
master cabin in the bow with walk-round bed with en-suite bathroom, separate shower, and walk-in closet. The VIP
suite acts as a second master cabin thanks to its amenities, and a third cabin features twin beds. A fourth cabin aft
can be used for an extra guest or crew. Like all Absolute yachts, its performance and sea-keeping characteristics are
superlative both in displacement cruising and when planing.
