The Absolute Navetta 58: Beam Bought Deliberately
Sixteen feet eleven of beam on a 57-footer, and 740 gallons under it. The Navetta 58 spends its length on volume and range rather than on pr…
Read the articleThe Absolute Navetta Series
Seven boats that spend their length on beam and tankage instead of profile - the Absolute range for people whose season is measured in passages.
Navetta is where Absolute stops drawing for pace and starts drawing for volume.
Seven boats sit in the line, from the Navetta 50 at 49' 8" to the flagship Navetta 75 at 74' 10". Beam runs from 15' 4" to 18' 6" and fuel from 476 gallons to 1,057. Every one of them is on twin Volvo Penta IPS pods and certified CE category B.
The comparison that makes the range make sense is against Absolute's own flybridge boats at the same length. The 60 FLY and the Navetta 62 both measure 61' 3" overall. The flybridge boat carries 16' 2" of beam and 740 gallons and is rated for sixteen people; the Navetta carries 17' 7" and 898 and is rated for fourteen. Same slip, same length, two entirely different weeks aboard — one built to carry a crowd for an evening, the other to carry a household for a passage.
Inside the line the ladder is straightforward. The Navetta 50 is the owner-operable one, with a diagonal forward berth and crew quarters behind three guest cabins. The Navetta 53 is where the master goes full beam and amidships, where a hull moves least. The Navetta 58 is the first big jump in tankage. From the Navetta 66 upward the boats carry four cabins and properly separated crew, and the Navetta 75 raises a full-beam owner's cabin into the bow with its own route from the main lounge.

Navetta 50 — 49' 8" overall, 15' 4" beam, 3 cabins / 2 heads plus crew, 476 gal fuel, 140 gal water, 14 aboard. Twin Volvo Penta D6-IPS650. The entry to the line and the one Absolute states outright is fully owner-operable: a starboard helm with direct access to the side deck, a step-free flybridge laid out with a dining area, a bar unit and a barbecue, and side decks with handrails, bulwarks and integrated lighting. The forward owner's cabin uses a diagonal berth to buy walking room down both sides.
Navetta 53 — 52' 5" overall, 15' 3" beam, 3 cabins / 2 heads plus crew, 528 gal fuel, 159 gal water, 14 aboard. Twin Volvo Penta D6-IPS650. The reason to step up is the full-beam master amidships, where the motion is least — a queen berth, large windows and storage that does not come out of the walking space. Minimal steps, high ceilings and sliding doors instead of doors that swing into the room are what stop a 52-footer feeling small by Sunday.
Navetta 58 — 57' 9" overall, 16' 11" beam, 3 cabins / 3 heads plus crew, 740 gal fuel, 206 gal water, 14 aboard. Twin Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 at 2 x 725 hp, one package with no decision to make. Forty percent more fuel than the 53 and twenty more inches of beam. Full-beam master forward with a walk-in closet, midship VIP en-suite with panoramic windows, and a third cabin whose two single berths convert electrically to a double. The cockpit sits fully under the flybridge, so shade is standard rather than an awning.
Navetta 62 — 61' 3" overall, 17' 7" beam, 898 gal fuel, 206 gal water, 14 aboard. Twin D13-IPS1200 at 2 x 900 hp or D13-IPS1350 at 2 x 1,000 hp. The beam is what pays for the main-deck galley — open, in the room where everyone is, with a cooktop under an integrated extractor — and for cabins that do not narrow toward the ends. Owner's cabin forward with a king berth; the flybridge is an open-air lounge with a full bar and a large sunbathing area.
Navetta 66 — 64' 5" overall, 18' 1" beam, 4 cabins plus crew, 951 gal fuel, 240 gal water, 16 aboard. Twin D13-IPS1350 at 735 kW a side. Four cabins and dedicated crew quarters, and the fourth cabin is the one to understand: it sits just above sea level, a few steps down from the cockpit terrace, and its settee converts electrically to a double — a private retreat that becomes a guest cabin when the extra couple says yes. Two interior schemes, Sunrise and Sunset, over an identical layout.
Navetta 70 — 69' 10" overall, 18' 6" beam, 4 cabins plus crew, 925 gal fuel, 240 gal water, 16 aboard. Twin D13-IPS1350 at 735 kW a side. The flybridge comes in two configurations, A and B, and they are genuinely different upper decks rather than trim levels — work out how you use the fly before you sign, because it is not a change you make later. Solar panels are integrated into the flybridge roof, and crew get two berths and a galley of their own.
Navetta 75 — 74' 10" overall, 18' 4" beam, 4 cabins plus crew, 1,057 gal fuel, 293 gal water, 18 aboard. Twin D13-IPS1350 at 735 kW a side. The flagship. A raised full-beam owner's cabin in the bow with private access from the main lounge, two double cabins and a twin amidships, and crew quarters aft taking up to three berths with their own head and their own galley. Two steering consoles plus a third and fourth mooring station, and two stairways to the flybridge so crew move fore and aft without crossing guest space.
Our Take
The Navetta line is the part of Absolute that people misread from the dock, and the misreading is always the same: they see a taller profile and assume it is the slower, older-buyer boat. What it actually is, is a range that spends its length on beam and tankage instead of on a sharp sheerline, and the buyers who love it are the ones whose season is a series of passages rather than a series of evenings at the marina.
The clearest way to see it is to walk the 60 FLY and the Navetta 62 in the same afternoon. Both are 61' 3" overall. One is 16' 2" wide with 740 gallons; the other is 17' 7" wide with 898. Same berth, same conversation with the marina, completely different boat once you are aboard — and on the Navetta that extra seventeen inches is what puts a real galley on the main deck instead of down a companionway. If you cook aboard, that single difference will decide it for you.
Inside the range I would organise the choice like this. Below 55 feet, the question is where the master goes: the 50 puts it forward with a diagonal berth and the 53 puts it amidships and full beam, and amidships is where a hull moves least, which is something you notice on the second night rather than on the run out. At 58 the tank jumps by forty percent and the boat becomes a genuine distance machine. From the 66 up you are buying four cabins and real crew separation, and the 75 is the one where the crew have their own galley and their own stairway and never cross the saloon.
Two practical things. First, beam is your berth. Seventeen feet seven on the 62 and eighteen feet six on the 70 narrow the list of slips and travelifts that will take the boat, and that is a phone call to make before you make an offer rather than after. Second, the Navetta 70 carries 925 gallons where the shorter Navetta 66 carries 951 — do not assume the bigger boat carries the most fuel, and plan your legs off the number on your own build sheet.
And take your own figures at sea trial. Observed burn at the rpm you actually intend to cruise at, in writing, on a boat loaded the way you will load yours — tender aboard, tanks part full, people on the fly. That is the number worth planning a season around.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much fuel do the Absolute Navetta models carry?
From 476 US gallons on the Navetta 50 to 1,057 on the Navetta 75. The Navetta 53 carries 528, the Navetta 58 740, the Navetta 62 898, the Navetta 66 951 and the Navetta 70 925. That last pair is worth noticing: the shorter Navetta 66 carries more fuel than the Navetta 70, so plan your legs off the figure on your own build sheet rather than off the length.
How many boats are in the Absolute Navetta range?
Seven: the Navetta 50 at 49' 8", the Navetta 53 at 52' 5", the Navetta 58 at 57' 9", the Navetta 62 at 61' 3", the Navetta 66 at 64' 5", the Navetta 70 at 69' 10" and the flagship Navetta 75 at 74' 10". Beam runs from 15' 4" to 18' 6", and all seven are on twin Volvo Penta IPS pods and certified CE category B.
What is the difference between an Absolute Navetta and an Absolute Flybridge?
The Navetta spends its length on beam and volume where the Flybridge spends it on profile and pace. The clearest illustration is that the 60 FLY and the Navetta 62 are both 61' 3" overall: the flybridge boat carries 16' 2" of beam, 740 gallons of fuel and certification for sixteen people, and the Navetta carries 17' 7", 898 gallons and certification for fourteen. Same berth, same length — one built to carry a crowd for an evening, the other to carry a household for a passage.
