Built in Italy and finished to a remarkably high standard, the Absolute 47 FLY delivers both craftsmanship and comfort – and with three cabins below, there’s serious space for a family or two couples to cruise in comfort.
Materials, detailing, and layout execution all hold up to close inspection, and it’s paired with the kind of thoughtful engineering that makes daily ownership straightforward. If you’ve not looked at Absolute before, we’ll show you how the 47 FLY compares to the competition in a full tour and a sea trial.
Test & Review Video
Around the Marina
Approaching the berth on the Absolute 47 Fly reveals just how well integrated the IPS system is for close-quarters manoeuvring. The boat is equipped with twin Volvo Penta IPS650s, and this test boat also had the optional bow thruster fitted. That said, the entire manoeuvre was completed using just the joystick, which is proof of how capable the standard IPS system is (albeit in kind conditions).
Berthing was carried out from the lower helm, which made practical sense given the starboard side-to mooring and the immediate access to the deck via the side door. While there’s a joystick on the flybridge too, the lower station offers a more direct line of communication with crew and a better connection to the pontoon.
Visibility aft is assisted by a camera feed, though not without its quirks. The image doesn’t quite extend to the edge of the bathing platform, making it trickier to judge the final metre when backing in, which is something any owner would have to get used to. Still, the camera’s presence does help ease the burden, especially when you’re threading the needle into a tighter berth.
Where the IPS shows its worth is in responsiveness. Even the slightest input on the joystick delivers meaningful rotation or lateral movement. There’s ample power, and the hull responds quickly, if with a bit of lean as the forces translate through the structure. It’s not uncomfortable – just a characteristic of smaller flybridge boats running pod drives.
What’s reassuring is how the boat balances. Some IPS boats struggle to keep the bow in line when you push hard sideways – the stern overtakes, and you end up in a bit of a crab. Not here. The 47 Fly holds its shape and pivots on cue.
You can feel the engineering. That’s the difference. Absolute has been using IPS longer than most, and it shows in how well it all comes together. The system feels native: calibrated and intuitive to use. And while the bow thruster is always nice to have, especially when mooring stern-to, the joystick alone is more than up to the task.
Berthing this boat doesn’t feel like a test of nerve. It feels like something you can do with a coffee in one hand: confident, composed and actually quite satisfying.
At Sea
The Absolute 47 Fly is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS650s, delivering 480hp per side. There’s only one engine configuration offered for this model, and it’s well matched to the boat’s intended cruising style. Absolute quotes a top speed of 29 knots. On test, the boat topped out at 25 knots - a shortfall likely caused by a combination of Solent tidal flow and hull fouling after some time afloat. With a clean bottom and flat water, 29 knots should remain within reach.
Planing occurs around 15 knots with the assistance of Volvo’s trim assist system, which automatically deploys the blades to improve running attitude. Once up and level, the boat settles comfortably into a cruise at 20 to 22 knots. That’s where it feels naturally balanced. At this speed, engine noise at the lower helm measured just 70 dB and was quiet enough for relaxed conversations.
The IPS system makes handling light and manageable at low speeds, especially during berthing and tight manoeuvres. Joystick control is accurate and familiar, and Absolute’s long-standing relationship with the IPS platform shows in how polished the integration feels. But at speed, things change. The IPS helps, particularly in short bursts of steering input, but once you get into a bigger turn, it becomes apparent – this isn’t a boat that spins on a sixpence. She doesn’t exactly carve. It’s more of a lean-in-and-wait affair. The turning circle is wide, and the response is measured. Ponderous might be a bit strong, but this isn’t a Ferretti 500 or a Fairline Squadron 50. You’re not going to throw this into a few turns out the other side, grinning. Even the Galeon 500 Fly, with all its clever extras, feels more alert at the wheel.
That said, for an owner-operator looking for comfort, quiet confidence, and ease of use, the 47 Fly gets most things right. Cruising range sits around 250 nautical miles at a relaxed 20 knots, completely in line with this class, and the controls fall to hand whether you’re helming from the upper or lower station. It’s not exciting to drive, but it is simple, smooth, and civilised. If you buy into that idea, the 47 Fly feels like a well-resolved and genuinely easy boat to cover distance in.
The Absolute 47 FLY was conceived as a clean-sheet design by Absolute’s in-house team and launched at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2019 to slot between the brand’s 45 Fly and 50 Fly models. Built on a dedicated planing hull engineered specifically for Volvo IPS drives, it benefits from the aft-set engine placement to maximise interior volume, enabling a spacious three-cabin layout without a crew cabin.
The boat is constructed at Absolute’s purpose-built yard in Piacenza using resin-infused GRP and a pre-fabricated structural grid that’s bonded into the hull while still in the mould, creating a rigid monocoque structure. Its upright bow, expansive glazing, and high freeboard give it a distinctive look that prioritises internal space and visibility.
The 47 Fly doesn’t share its hull with the Navetta 48, it follows Absolute’s modular production ethos, drawing on shared components and design language across the range while retaining a clear identity as a sleek, owner-run flybridge cruiser.
How the Absolute 47 FLY Compares to the Navetta 48
From behind the helm, the 47 Fly delivers solid cruising performance in the 22 to 25-knot range, topping out at around 29 knots with twin IPS650s. The Navetta 48, while a sister ship in terms of length, takes a very different approach. It’s a semi-displacement hull running Volvo Penta IPS600s and optimised for slower, more efficient passages. Though it can match the 47’s top speed in a straight line, the Navetta is far happier at 8 to 10 knots, offering the kind of long-range capability and quiet, low-rev cruising that’s more SUV than sports saloon.
Handling reflects that difference, too. Both boats feel settled, but the 47 is noticeably more responsive and nimble on the wheel. The Navetta has a heavier gait, which suits its brief perfectly.
The 47’s engine room, beneath the cockpit sole, is well laid out and clearly geared for owner maintenance. On the Navetta, there’s slightly more space around the engines and an option for a small aft crew cabin.
So while they share a lot of DNA, the mission profiles are very different. The 47 Fly is for owners who want a fast, stylish flybridge cruiser they can handle themselves. The Navetta 48 is more about range, storage, and a relaxed pace - with room for guests, toys, and the option of crew if you want it. Same philosophy, different rhythm.
Engine Room
Even before you reach the engine room, there’s a nice bit of detail in how the deck drains have been handled. Instead of running an obvious channel across the saloon threshold, the drains are worked into the gaps between the teak planks. They look like caulking lines, but they’re open slots that take water off both sides of the cockpit before it can creep forward. It’s subtle, but effective.
Drop into the engine room, and the attention to detail keeps coming. Headroom is limited, as you’d expect in a sub-15.2m (50ft) flybridge boat, but once you’re down, the space does open up. There’s good access around both engines - you can move over the top, get outboard with ease, and everything is laid out in a way that makes visual checks fast and intuitive. The plumbing is crisp. The wiring runs are clean. And on the fuel tanks, you’ve got two filters with sight gauges, so fuel level can be seen right here in the space, without needing to refer back to the helm.
Access to the pods is equally good. On a lot of boats, they end up crammed behind structure or tucked under a bulkhead, but here they’re wide open – nothing in the way. That same simplicity means Absolute has been able to use the overhead space, too. With no trick systems or ducting cluttering the deck above, the batteries are cleanly mounted high in the compartment, along with a second switchboard. It’s a tidy install, and crucially, it’s built for ongoing access – not just first fit.
And that matters, because this is a boat that will likely be owner-run. Someone will be down here regularly, doing daily checks, possibly some of the maintenance themselves. In that context, this engine space is hard to fault. For a boat of this size, it’s one of the best laid-out and most user-friendly compartments you’ll come across.
Aft Galley
For an owner using their boat regularly with guests onboard, the Absolute 47 Fly's layout makes a lot of sense. Absolute has stuck with the aft galley configuration they helped popularise, and here it works particularly well. The flow from galley to bar to cockpit feels natural as you’re never far from the conversation, even if you're midway through meal prep.
Compared to boats like the Fairline Squadron 50, which shifts the galley below to add seating upstairs, Absolute’s approach feels more useful, as there’s still enough room to entertain inside. The induction hob has integrated pot clamps, there’s a dishwasher below the counter, and the microwave’s integrated in cleanly too.
Cooling space is thoughtfully divided. You’ve got a fridge with an integrated freezer, more cold storage below, and the option for an ice maker where the wine fridge would usually be and a portable ice bucket. The stainless steel sink has curved edges, the high fiddles keep loose items in place, and there’s even some extra storage space behind the galley with enough depth to be practical.
Every surface has been designed with use in mind. The cabinetry has been broken up with subtle styling to avoid the usual wall-of-wood look, and there’s a noticeable solidity underfoot that reinforces the boat’s quality.
Saloon
The dinette sits low and wide, with cushions that feel firm enough to be useful - whether you’re sitting down to dinner or firing up the laptop. But it’s the glazing that elevates this space - vast, clear panels wrapping the saloon in light. One window drops, the other lifts - a smart bit of engineering to avoid water pooling when it rains, and something as practical as it is elegant.
The TV rises smoothly from behind the cabinetry with a single touch, positioned perfectly opposite the long saloon sofa - big enough to lie back and stretch out. The smaller sofa nearby has storage built in for tableware. Plates, glasses, even the espresso cups - each one has a dedicated spot, held in place with fiddles and soft-close runners. It’s a level of detail that makes everyday life on board easier, without needing to shout about it.
System switches are positioned by the side door - clearly labelled and easy to check at a glance. You don’t need to open a cupboard or remove a panel just to confirm whether the shore power is live. It’s right where it should be.
And thanks to the combination of the side door and that clever window, natural airflow is excellent. On our test day, the air con wasn’t needed - though it’s fitted, with subtle diffusers overhead.
Owner's Cabin
Glass plays a major role in the owner’s cabin of the Absolute 47 Fly. It’s very bold from the outside (those huge windows are hard to miss), but step below deck and you can see the payoff. The shape and scale of the glazing mean that when you’re sitting up in bed, you’re looking directly out over the water. It completely transforms how this space feels.
There’s been a real effort to keep the layout clean and usable. The bed is fully walk-around, with a flat floor surrounding it for easy movement. At the forward end, a small bureau has been worked in so you can sit comfortably on the edge of the bed to get ready or use a laptop. There's no skylight above, but the escape hatch is cleverly hidden - it doubles as a cupboard containing the access ladder, and also houses a decent hanging locker with drawer storage below.
The ensuite bathroom is accessed via a pocket door to maximise floor space. Inside, there’s a separate shower cubicle and a well-finished wash area - a wide basin, a stylish mirror, and good storage all add to the practical polish. For a yacht under 50ft, this feels like an actual owner's suite and not just a forward cabin with a label on it.
VIP Cabin
With the owner’s cabin right forward, this VIP suite amidships feels like a treat. It’s not full beam - it shares the boat’s width with the twin cabin opposite - but the space is beautifully judged. There’s a generous double bed, and even though the headroom varies where the saloon structure cuts in, Absolute has been clever with it. Where the floor lifts, so too does the ceiling - so you can still stand comfortably. It’s a great space to use, especially with the bureau tucked in on one side, complete with a stool and handy jewellery storage.
There’s no crew cabin on the 47 Fly - so if you want washer-dryer facilities, they’ll need to live here instead, taking the place of the dressing area.
But what really surprises here is the walk-in wardrobe. You don’t expect to find full-height storage like this in the second cabin - and in fact, it’s arguably better than what’s offered to the owner. That tells you a lot about this layout. The space is flexible, and depending on how you use the boat, this might even be the preferred cabin for overnights. On anchor with the generator running, it’s quieter back here than up forward. And that’s the appeal. There’s real versatility in how you use this space - and some seriously useful, well-executed storage.
Twin Cabin
One of the cleverest things about the Absolute 47 Fly is what it doesn’t do on the lower deck. There’s no attempt to cram in a third bunk cabin. Instead, you have one twin - two single beds, laid out side by side. It’s rare in this size bracket. In fact, the only other model offering that is the Navetta 48.
What’s more, Absolute has paid close attention to how the space is used. Pocket doors are fitted throughout the lower deck, including this guest area - they slide away quietly, keeping the cabins uncluttered without the intrusion of swinging doors. It’s something that makes a big difference in compact spaces.
The twin cabin itself is tight between the berths, no getting around that, but you’re not clambering into bunks. There’s a bit of standing room in the entrance, a full-height hanging locker tucked behind the door, and a decent hull window with an opening port. It shares a bathroom just across the corridor, which also functions as the day head - practical positioning, especially when guests are aboard.
The owner’s cabin sits forward with its own ensuite, taking up the full width of the bow in a clean, linear layout. Between the two, Absolute has prioritised usable sleeping space, privacy, and a bit of visual breathing room - a welcome shift in this corner of the market.
Upper Helm
This flybridge helm is a lesson in how to get the fundamentals right. Seat adjustment is smooth and generous – you can bring the chair forward or slide it back, with enough travel to sit right into the backrest or perch up for a higher viewpoint. The steering wheel juts out neatly towards you and adjusts for height, so you’re not stuck with a one-size-fits-all driving posture. And the throttles are placed just where they should be – on a raised moulded plinth that puts them directly under your arm.
Everything else falls into place around that. The main Raymarine multifunction screen and the smaller Volvo engine display sit directly ahead – slightly beyond fingertip reach, yes, but perfectly legible. For a fly helm, that’s a trade-off worth accepting. You’ve also got a bolster function built into the seat. It lets you shift your stance slightly higher if you want a clearer forward view, but most of the time, it simply isn’t needed. Even climbing through the rev range, visibility remains strong.
Trim assist is active too, working quietly in the background to help bring the bow down during acceleration. From the helm, you’re unlikely to feel it intervene, but the effect is there – the boat stays settled and composed without constant manual trimming. You’ve also got the option of company up here. Rather than a central single helm seat like on the Navetta 48, this layout includes a navigator’s seat, giving someone else a nice spot to join the run or help with navigation.
Even the bimini plays its part. Up in a breeze, it holds steady thanks to stainless steel poles – no loose canvas or cables flapping around.
Lower Helm
At the lower helm, the seat is fully adjustable; it slides, the bolster flips up, and if you prefer a bench setup, that’s available too. Whether you want to sit back or stand, the helm adapts.
The wheel adjusts for angle and reach, and it pulls out far enough to let you sit naturally without leaning forward. The throttles are positioned slightly further out than they are at the flybridge (a necessary compromise to keep the walkway clear), but they still fall to hand without any effort.
Instrumentation is tidy and easy to follow. There are two large multifunction displays for navigation and systems, plus a dedicated Volvo screen for engine data. Sightlines are mostly very good. Visibility forward is strong whether seated or standing, and the long side window helps with peripheral awareness.
The only drawback is when turning hard to port, as the thick mullions can block your view just enough to warrant a second pair of eyes on deck. Aft visibility is supported by a camera, although it doesn’t quite reach the end of the bathing platform.
The side door to starboard is a welcome feature, especially when docking, but it does have some limitations. You can’t leave it ajar - it’s either fully open or closed - and it only opens from the inside. It would be nice to crack it open for a bit of airflow, though there are air-con vents here to pick up the slack.
Compared to some of its more modern rivals, the Absolute 47 Fly takes a more stripped-back approach at the transom. Where others might build in seating, BBQ stations or extra storage benches, this layout is more minimalist. There’s a bit of carbon fibre trim and a retractable privacy screen, but otherwise it’s kept clean.
What stands out, though, is the storage. The main locker is deep and wide enough to swallow all your fenders and lines with ease. And because there’s a secondary inboard fender locker, you can use the main space purely for water sports kit. Access is mainly to starboard, but Absolute has still squeezed in a usable port-side path – a detail some will appreciate when moving around the boat quickly.
This particular test boat is fitted with the optional hydraulic platform. Rated at 400kg, it’s quick to deploy and even quicker to recover – faster than most, and a real help if you’re launching or retrieving a tender on a busy schedule. The integrated step makes water access straightforward, though it’s worth noting you can’t cross the transom while the platform’s down – there’s no fixed ledge.
You’ve got a fixed bench across the back of the cockpit, and space either side of the table for a couple of loose chairs - enough room to seat a small group comfortably without cluttering the space. That long overhang above pays dividends, giving sun cover and weather protection, and it allows the flybridge to gain useful extra deck space. There’s strip lighting built into the ceiling, matching the interior lighting to give the cockpit a connected, drawn-in feel, and the built-in speakers carry the sound system out here as well.
Storage is handled with typical Absolute efficiency. The locker beneath the flybridge steps is surprisingly deep - easily big enough for cleaning gear, spare lines or just somewhere to chuck shoes when you come aboard. There’s also a clip for a boat hook, a repeater for the sound system, lighting control, and the sunshade switch positioned nearby.
The drop-down window is an option here - if you don’t go for it, you get a wider door instead - but for an aft-galley layout like this, the window gives better connection between interior and exterior, letting you pass food and drinks straight out to the cockpit.
This test boat is rigged for UK use, but a Mediterranean spec would probably add a passerelle and electric stern winches among other bits.
Side Decks & Foredeck
Working your way forward along the Absolute 47 Fly, you notice a few details that really matter when you’re running the boat yourself. On the port side, the passage narrows slightly, but there’s a small boarding gate here - easy to close off if you’ve got kids or guests moving about. There’s a shower too - not overhead, but a solid handheld unit that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Tucks away neatly when you’re done with it.
The side decks are symmetrical, and while they’re fine for walking forward, you might find the width a touch tight when turning if you’ve got bigger feet. That said, the guardrail running up the sides is a solid piece of kit - good height, good grip. There’s no overhead rail here, but it feels safe enough. The stretch of glass along the sides also catches your eye - big panels that pay off when you’re inside looking out.
Get to the foredeck and you see why this space matters. You’ve got plenty of shelter at the aft end and on the flybridge, so the bow gives you full exposure to the sun. There’s a table here that drops down so you can fill the space and turn it into one big lounging pad. If you’re serious about sunbathing, this is where you’ll head.
And again, it’s the details that Absolute nails. Deep-set cup holders, pop-up lights, a simple, well-placed anchor mechanism, and a big forward locker you can get into without gymnastics. None of it feels over-designed - just good, practical stuff.
Flybridge
The Absolute 47 Fly can't compete with the Galeon 500 Fly when it comes to cockpit ingenuity. Galeon’s opening balconies and carousel-style seating are still unmatched in this size range. But climb to the flybridge, and things shift in Absolute’s favour. Thanks to the extended flybridge structure overhead, you get a huge sheltered space below and a properly spacious area above. There’s an impressive amount of deck up here for a boat this size, with wraparound seating that easily accommodates a crowd. You could add extra chairs to the port side if needed, and the solid teak table ties the whole arrangement together nicely.
Overhead, there’s flexibility depending on the setup you choose. You can spec the boat with no arch at all - though that does look a bit odd - or go for a radar arch alone, one with a folding bimini, or a fixed hardtop. The folding version arguably strikes the best balance - it tucks neatly away when you want clean lines, but it’s quick to deploy and includes integrated lighting. Add some canvas side covers, and the whole flybridge can be enclosed for all-weather use.
To starboard, a tidy outdoor galley setup includes a Kenyon grill right next to a sink with a pop-up tap. The sink cover is a nice touch, though it could use a dedicated storage spot. There’s a fridge tucked underneath, with a bit of extra storage beside it - just enough room for a bin or some stowage essentials. It’s well considered, and everything feels high quality - from the stainless catches to the fittings you handle every day.
Further forward, a forward-facing bench lets guests sit comfortably underway while still being part of the social flow. It’s one of those clever, in-between seats that works whether the boat’s on the move or you're gathered around the grill. The sunbathing pad up front is also smartly done - flat when down, but adjustable in two stages so you can sit upright and enjoy the view. Not somewhere you’d want to be flat out at speed, especially on a hot day, but perfect for a slow cruise or at anchor. Even the little touches work - like a slimline storage cubby for helm and screen covers.
In the UK (at the time of writing), the base price of the 47 Fly is £893,500 ex VAT, which is pretty reasonable considering Absolute is relatively generous with its standard specification, including items such as: 4kW generator, Interceptors, 12in Garmin MFD at both helms and electric freshwater toilets throughout.
Some of the cost options that we consider necessary are detailed below. With these in place, you're looking at a turn-key price closer to £1.1 million ex VAT.
Our Options & Pick
They include: air conditioning, an upgraded 11kW generator, bow thruster, hydraulic bathing platform, bimini top, 16-inch Garmin MFDs, and teak decking throughout.
The 47 Fly does represent good value for money in the sector. It may be more expensive than rivals from Benetrau Group, but you can see and feel the quality everywhere you look.
Our Verdict
Absolute could borrow Škoda's tag line: Simply Clever. It perfectly describes that yard's attitude to boat building.
The styling of the Absolute 47 Fly won’t be to everyone’s taste - it’s not a boat you instantly fall for across the dock. But spend a bit of time on board, and the value will show. This is a yacht shaped by people who go boating - people who’ve lived with the day-to-day stuff and solved it. From storage to layout, access to engineering, there’s a level of practical thinking here that’s hard to ignore. Yes, the performance is soft and steady rather than sharp, but it suits the character of the boat. And when it comes to accommodation, it’s exceptional.
The layout is fresh, the detailing is smart, and the quality feels consistent throughout. In this size range, it’s right up at the top - arguably only edged out by its own stablemate, the Navetta 48. So no, it’s not showy. But it is cleverly judged, impressively finished, and quietly one of the most liveable flybridge cruisers you’ll find under 50 feet.
The YachtBuyer Score provides a clear, category-by-category assessment of how the yacht performs in the areas that matter most. In this review, the Absolute 47 FLY receives an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Rivals to Consider
One of the 47 Fly's main rivals comes from within in the form of the Navetta 48. This boat shares very similar dimensions to the 47, but it's running a semi-displacement hull, and there is the option to have a (small) crew cabin. Neither model is going to be winning any beauty contests any time soon, but the Navetta has a more trawler-y look, if you're into that sort of thing. It's optimised to cruise more slowly than the Fly, but their top speeds are similar as they run the same engines.
The Fairline Squadron 50 competes directly with the Absolute 47 FLY in size and layout, offering three cabins for six guests with a full-beam master cabin amidships. One key difference lies in its layout options: the Squadron can be specified with a galley-down configuration, freeing up more sociable space on the main deck. This creates a more lounge-like saloon, better suited to entertaining, though at the cost of galley convenience. Materials and finish are classic Fairline - subtle, tactile, and warm, with walnut or oak cabinetry and lovely detailing.
Performance is slightly stronger than the Absolute, with a top speed of just over 30 knots and a fast cruise around 25 knots, courtesy of twin Volvo IPS650s. Handling is smooth and familiar, though not particularly aggressive. Compared to the Absolute 47 FLY, the Fairline offers more flexibility in layout and a quieter, more traditional British interior style. It lacks some of the glass-rich boldness of the Absolute, but makes up for it with layout customisation and a flybridge that's equally usable, if less architecturally striking.
The Galeon 500 Fly carves out a clear identity in this sector with its transforming cockpit. Fold-down side balconies and a rotating aft bench turn the boat’s transom into a fully-fledged beach club - something the Absolute 47 FLY can’t match. Both yachts offer three cabins for six guests, but Galeon leans more toward innovation and modularity in how its interior and exterior spaces connect. A choice of galley-up or galley-down also allows buyers to tailor the interior to suit crewed or owner-operated use.
The 500 Fly is also considered more engaging to drive. Sea trial reviews consistently note its responsiveness and balance through turns, particularly with the IPS setup. It's quicker too, with a top speed of around 30 knots and a cruising speed in the high 20s. While the Absolute 47 FLY feels more composed and quietly capable, the Galeon adds a sense of playfulness - more adaptable outside, more fun behind the wheel. For owners seeking a sociable layout with party-trick features, it has real appeal.
The Ferretti 500 takes a more refined, pared-back approach than the Absolute 47 FLY. With just two cabins instead of three, it focuses on giving both the forward VIP and full-beam master amidships generous space and private ensuites. The saloon and flybridge are elegantly proportioned, with Ferretti’s signature low-sheen woods and soft lighting creating a calm, almost minimalist atmosphere. This is a boat for owners who want comfort and sophistication, not maximum accommodation.
At sea, the Ferretti has a more engaging ride. Twin Cummins V-drive engines give it a traditional helm feel - predictable and rewarding - making it noticeably more agile than the pod-driven Absolute 47 FLY. It also edges ahead on performance, cruising in the mid-20s and topping out just shy of 30 knots. Where the Absolute favours ease of use and family practicality, the Ferretti appeals to the helm enthusiast and to those who prefer a more curated, two-cabin layout.
