Designed with contemporary Italian style and a focus on maximizing livability, the Absolute Yacht model introduces several new features while staying true to the shipyard’s reputation for space optimization, panoramic glazing, and refined detailing.
A Flybridge Designed for Social Living
The flybridge is one of the focal points of the 70 FLY. Its reverse-slope windscreen and sleek superstructure profile make it instantly recognizable, while its layout is tailored for both navigation and leisure.
The ergonomic helm station of the motor yacht features flush-mounted displays and streamlined controls, complemented by unobstructed sightlines. Aft, there is ample space for dining and relaxation, with furnishings arranged to adapt between meals, lounging, or entertaining at sea.
Lighting plays an important role in defining the space. Integrated ambient fixtures extend use of the flybridge into the evening, turning it into a natural gathering point for guests whether cruising or at anchor.
A New Stern Platform Concept
Among the most notable features of the yacht is a stern platform that departs from Absolute’s previous designs. The hydraulic platform slides into the water with integrated non-slip steps and built-in storage for watersports equipment. This practical layout makes launching sea toys and boarding the tender straightforward, while also doubling as a private beach at water level.
The cockpit terrace links directly to this stern area and has been designed with open balustrades for uninterrupted views aft. Flexible furniture arrangements, a wet bar, refrigeration, and dedicated storage make it equally suited to entertaining or quiet afternoons outdoors.
Forward, the bow sundeck serves as another flexible social zone. Concealed strip lighting enhances the furniture after sunset, producing a suspended visual effect. Together with the flybridge and cockpit, this area completes the yacht’s three primary outdoor gathering points.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Absolute’s design philosophy has long emphasized transparency and natural light, and the 70 FLY continues that direction. Panoramic glazing stretches across the salon, with slender stainless-steel framing that minimizes visual barriers. A distinctive six-leaf sliding door on the port side is a unique feature for a yacht in this size range, opening the dining area directly to the sea breeze and creating a fluid transition between the interior and exterior spaces.
The salon is arranged with soft furnishings, a comprehensively equipped galley, and a helm station with flat monitors and dual-side access to the side decks for ease of mooring. Full-height curtains and discreet lighting fixtures add to the sense of refinement.
Below deck, the Absolute 70 FLY offers accommodation for eight guests across four cabins. The full-beam owner’s stateroom forward is designed with a king-size bed, vanity, and generous storage, complemented by large hull windows for light and ventilation. The en-suite bathroom features a glazed walk-in shower and high-quality finishes.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines, the Absolute 70 FLY reaches a top speed of 28 knots.
