The Absolute Navetta 62: A Galley Worth the Beam

Ask an owner who has run 45 to 55 feet what they are finished compromising on and the answer is usually the galley. The Absolute Navetta 62 answers it directly — main deck, open, in the room where everyone already is — and the reason it can is 17' 7" of beam on 61' 3" of length.

Fuel is 898 gallons, fresh water 206, and the boat is certified CE category B for 14 people aboard.

What the beam buys

The galley is open and on the main deck, with modern appliances and a cooktop under an integrated extractor hood, and it flows into the living area rather than hiding from it. That is the arrangement that decides whether anyone actually cooks aboard or whether every dinner happens ashore. The living area takes an electrically adjustable table and deep sofas built for a long evening.

Floor-to-ceiling pleated curtains run through the interior. They read as a styling note and work as a practical one — privacy at a crowded anchorage without dropping the ceiling height or closing the room in.

The owner's cabin is forward, with a king-size bed, ample storage and the full width of that beam behind the bulkhead. The VIP and the guest cabin are both given genuine space and properly specified furnishings rather than being sized by what was left over, which is the practical difference between three cabins and three real cabins.

Fresh water is 206 gallons with the water heater included. On a boat certified for 14 that is a comfortable margin, and it is the figure to plan showers and pump-outs around when the boat is full and staying out.

Two outdoor decks, neither of them decided for you

The cockpit is open and modern, with large glass surfaces and glass angled toward it, which lifts the light on the main deck and makes the aft end read as one space with the water rather than as a room facing it. The furniture is modular, so the same deck goes from a quiet afternoon to a table for the evening without a compromise built in at the factory. The stern platform is glazed, and integrated LED strips carry the detailing through.

The flybridge is the other headline: an open-air panoramic lounge with seating, a large sunbathing area and a fully equipped bar, laid out to be lived on rather than passed through.

Engines, tank, and the phone call to make first

Two engine packages are published: twin Volvo Penta D13-IPS1200 at 2 x 900 hp and twin D13-IPS1350 at 2 x 1,000 hp. Both are pod drives with joystick control, and the joystick is what makes a boat this wide a genuine owner-operator proposition rather than a crewed one. Specify the IPS1350 if you want the boat to hold a cruise with a full load and full tanks; the IPS1200 is the efficient option for a coastal rhythm. Decide that at order, not at handover.

Fuel is 898 gallons — the number that separates this boat from the rest of its length class. Ask for observed burn at your intended cruise rpm, in writing, from a boat rigged the way yours will be, and work your own range arithmetic off that tank at sea trial, loaded the way you will run it.

One more thing to settle before an offer rather than after: that 17' 7" beam narrows the list of berths and travelift slings that will take the boat. Confirm the people-aboard figure on your own build documents too, along with anything you intend to size a slip or an insurance policy from.

Where it sits in the range

The Navetta 62 sits between the Navetta 58 and the Navetta 66, and it is the step where the line stops being a large coastal cruiser. Fuel goes from 740 gallons on the 58 to 898 here; beam from 16' 11" to 17' 7"; the engine list from a single D11 package to twin D13s. Above it, the Navetta 66 takes fuel to 951 gallons, water to 240 and capacity to 16 people — another berth and another bracket.

The comparison that matters most is across the ranges. The 60 FLY measures the same 61' 3" overall and spends it on a different boat entirely: 16' 2" of beam and 740 gallons against 17' 7" and 898, and certification for 16 people against 14. One is built to carry a crowd for an evening, the other to carry a household for a passage. Buyers who reach this length in the Absolute range should walk both.

Where else to look

A 61-foot motoryacht with this beam, a main-deck galley and a 898-gallon tank sits alongside the Azimut Fly 62 and the Ferretti 580. Beam and tank are where the Navetta 62 makes its case; if what you want is a sharper profile and a lighter boat, the case runs the other way, and a sea trial in each settles it.
