18m Absolute Navetta 58 Set for World Debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026

Inspired by a star, designed for modern cruising

The motor yacht has been conceived as a balance of elegance, strength and innovation. Absolute's designers have created a profile defined by fluid lines and carefully integrated glazing, giving the yacht a distinctive contemporary appearance while maximising natural light throughout. Among the most recognisable design features are the builder's signature squircle-shaped bow windows, glass bulwarks that open up uninterrupted sea views from the cockpit and a truncated transom that improves access to the water. Together, these elements create a yacht that feels connected to its surroundings while maintaining the privacy and comfort expected of a luxury cruiser.

Outdoor entertaining sits at the heart of the yacht, with the fully sheltered cockpit offering a flexible social area that can be configured with modular seating arrangements to suit different owner preferences. Above, the step-free flybridge creates an expansive second living space complete with a generous aft terrace, an L-shaped sofa and a sliding ceramic dining table. A fully equipped wet bar incorporates a barbecue, refrigerator, icemaker and freezer, while a secondary helm station on the starboard side simplifies manoeuvring and docking. Visitors exploring the yacht at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 will also be able to see the large hardtop, available with either an opening roof section or integrated solar panels, alongside atmospheric lighting integrated throughout the deck spaces.

Inside, the boat continues Absolute's focus on creating bright, open and highly customisable living spaces. The step-free main deck salon can be configured with a foldaway lounge table or a six-person electrically operated dining table, while owners can further personalise the space with alternative furniture arrangements including storage cabinets, display units or occasional seating. Accommodation is arranged for six guests across three cabins, highlighted by a spacious full-beam owner's suite positioned forward with a walk-in wardrobe and customisable furnishings. A generous midship VIP cabin benefits from large panoramic windows and an ensuite bathroom, while the twin guest cabin can be converted into a double berth at the touch of a button. Soft ambient lighting, rounded furniture profiles, efficient climate control and natural ventilation contribute to the relaxed onboard atmosphere.

Constructed entirely from GRP, the Navetta 58 features a beam of 5.16 metres and carries 2,800 litres of fuel. Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 engines, each producing 533kW, delivering the efficiency, manoeuvrability and smooth cruising characteristics that have become synonymous with Volvo's IPS platform. The propulsion package has been selected to reduce fuel consumption, vibration and onboard noise while enhancing docking precision and overall comfort during extended cruising.

The arrival of the new Navetta 58 strengthens Absolute Yachts' growing Navetta range, a collection that has become one of the defining pillars of the Italian builder's portfolio. According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the largest yacht database in the world,  Absolute continues to expand the series with models such as the Navetta 66, which introduces the builder's new Aurora-inspired design philosophy, and the flagship Navetta 75, offering significantly larger onboard volumes and long-range cruising capabilities. Together, these models demonstrate Absolute's continued focus on owner-centric layouts, innovative use of space and strong connections to the sea.
