The Absolute Navetta 53 is a 15.98m (52ft) Italian crossover flybridge yacht with twin Volvo Penta IPS650 pod drives, a galley-aft main deck and three cabins for six guests plus an optional crew berth.
This model replaces the Navetta 52 and builds more volume into the same footprint. Absolute uses a dedicated semi-planing hull for IPS, with the 480 hp IPS650 pair good for about 28 knots at the top of the range and a firm 22-knot cruise. The engines sit far aft under the cockpit, which frees space for the lower deck and keeps noise low at the helm. A single main helm sits to starboard with a side door for fast step-out to the side deck, a central flybridge helm sits above, and both stations use twin throttles and a joystick, with a proportional bow thruster on the options list.
On deck the big change over the 52 lies in the cockpit. Solid moulded furniture gives way to freestanding units and open glass sides, so you can set the layout for dock stern-to, at anchor or under way. The galley sits by the aft doors with a full-height fridge freezer, induction hob and oven, and the saloon leads up a step to a dinette and lounge with a pop-up TV. Below, the full-beam owner’s cabin lies amidships with ensuite to port, the forward VIP uses an offset double with its own ensuite that doubles as a day head, and the twin cabin to starboard shares that space. A proper crew cabin aft can act as storage, a simple heads or a full berth with wet room and has a watertight door straight into the engine room.
The Absolute Navetta 53 for sale suits an owner who wants IPS control, big-boat volume and a layout that feels closer to a small ship than a low-profile flybridge. The three main cabins work for two couples and children or a family group, the crew space gives rare flexibility at 16 m, and the cockpit furniture, side door and foredeck layout give a lot of freedom in how you use the boat from Med weekending to longer coastal trips.

from 2025
Average asking price according to YachtBuyer data (1 yachts available). Prices may vary depending on specification, condition and extras.
According to data from YachtBuyer’s Market Watch, the listing of two Absolute Navetta 53 boats for sale in the past three years highlights some activity in its resale market. These boats spend an average of only 133 days on the market, reflecting a very high turnover rate for flybridge boats in this size segment. On average, the asking price changes just 0% from the initial price over the same period, reassuring buyers of its enduring value. For flybridge boats around this length, this is a rare position in the market. These boats were offered for sale primarily around the United Kingdom.
The first Navetta 53 was announced to the press in 2024 and Absolute started development in 2025. She was unveiled to the general public at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival where she made her World Debut and made her American Debut at the Miami International Boat Show in 2025.
The space on the Navetta 53 is exceptional, and as is often the case with Absolute, the way the space is used is so thoughtful and intelligent. It's not just the cabin spaces and the excellent crew cabin but the small practical details that make a real difference to the day-to-day comfort on board.
