![[ENG] ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 68 - Exclusive Motor Yacht Review - The Boat Show](/img/n.gif)
I cannot believe how much interior they've fitted into this 68 footer and how light and airy it is on the main deck. The cabins are not cramped and the helm station is fantastic. An absolute cracker(excuse the pun)nick!
Was about to say the same thing! it's stunning.

Another beautiful yacht. I've been a fan of this channel for several years now and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your passion for this work. You have brought us along for so many boat tours and your enthusiasm has not decreased one bit. I have no idea how much money your channel has made for these yacht makers but I hope you are enjoying some adequate kickbacks. Please keep up the good work!
I get a ride on a nice boat occasionally! Glad you're enjoying the channel. 🙂
Love the yacht, love the layout! So well equipped for her size and beautiful contemporary finish. Thanks for the tour as always.
Our pleasure!
Nick it's not often that I am left speechless but Absolute has done that with this magnificent yacht. I love the clever but hugely practical layout and the acres of usable space. I can imagine a family (or two) spending an entire summer puttering about the Med or the Keys in absolute comfort. Thank you as always for the tour!
Thanks for watching it! 🙂
As always, an Absolute Navetta means that the geniuses at Absolute took a top-spec Italian-made superyacht, put it in a brilliant photocopying machine and shrunk it down to whatever size the designers deem fit. As a result, every little bit of amenities onboard makes sense, and no sensible sailor is ever left wanting. Amazing little boat! Thanks for the tour, Nick!
*I really like this Trawler design. Absolute gives this style some extra Beam.*
*For Example: this has a 2' 4" greater Beam than the 60 Fly, and still 20" wider than the 64 Fly*
Really well-done layout with so much space for a boat that size. Fantastic use of that front storage under the bed - that takes 3D thinking that not everyone can do. Not sure I'd want to go 2,000 miles at 5 knots but I could see myself spending a few weeks on this! Thanks for the tour!
You're welcome! 🙂
5kts is sailboat speed.
Never trust Nick's "I'll edit that later!" xD
Another brilliant video. I'll take mine with a jacuzzi.
One of my favorite ! I love the pilot house, especially the windshield. Very "serious".
I'm not familiair with the shipyard, but this is a lovely boat.
One of the best things about this channel is Nick's intuitive camera work as he's commentating - it gives you a perfect sense if space and your bearing within the boats in a way that is not jerky, but flows really naturally...
You're very kind 🙂
Very well specified, if quite pricey! I love the packaging. Thanks for the tour! 🙂
Thanks for watching!
nice boat, well laid out, great for cruising the med
This ones impressive. The saloon and crew cabins are the fest I think of any yacht of its size. Thank you Nick.
You're very welcome! 🙂
I think that small crew cabin is ingeniously designed.
Great boat - trawler volume with almost sports cruiser performance. Love it.
I’m so taken by some of these ~60 foot yachts. These things depreciate massively within 15 years, right? Maybe it’ll be affordable then.
Nick its not OCD Its upbringing and respect for sombody eles's property.
Nice boat, but why is it 1.5 million more expensive than the Nevetta 64? And 64 is a nicer boat in my opinion. Great review as always!
Great video (as always) and great boat but... Why don't they move the wine cooler to the galley and instead move the washing machines in to the cooler space (closed in).Then you could put another bathroom in the space you've freed up (pushing the area back to where the head room starts to drop). Bathroom for bedroom four and a perfect spot for the day head.
How does something like this - semi displacement trawler compare to Fleming / Nordhavn in sea worthiness - why / what is the difference in ability?
I Can’t even count the videos I have watched of you touring boats and campers/mother homes and they were all Great/positive and most importantly Infomatice thank you for keeping me entertained I love this yacht cause it’s not to big and not to small I’m confused about the 2 twins cabins and only on having an ensuite and it also being a day heads and is there anymore day heads on this amazing boat Great Video!!!
Very nice! I am dumbfounded when a boat manufacture fails to shut off their boat for Nick's tours. Some are slow learners I guess.
Great job Nick with your tour, lovely boat too. Cheers from Melbourne Australia ☺☺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Awesome, thank you!
Lovely looking boat, quite stubby but the certainly fitted a lot in it.
Great tour as usual
Cheers Nick and Marrianne. Hope your somewhere nice and warm , 1 C 🥶 here today
I wish! Cold here too (although not that cold!)
The more space added to smaller frames, the more often you get these ugly looking boats from the exterior side. Looks horrendous. Nice interior though.
I always thought I liked the princesses, sunseekers, and galeons the best on your channel but this one is my new favorite, just a spectacular layout and interior styling
These companies don't realise the advertisement opportunities they miss by not giving aquaholics room to do a private tour of the boat. Having other people on the boat is really stressful.
I have a dream boat BUT this makes mine look like a camping trailer inside. This is really a fancy nice place to float in.
Love the design of this one, Nick. That raised pilot house and how it is appointed is just outstanding. Lovely finishes and surprisingly ample layout makes this a winner for sure. Thanks for showng us this!
Glad you like it 🙂
God I love a new gen Absolute Navetta. Doesn’t matter which one.
Oh my gosh what an amazing amout of space, you could totally live onboard for a couple of weeks without ever worrying about reprovisioning, & that flybridge wouldn't look out of place on a hundred footer, absolutely incredible! Another great tour as always👍
nice boat，just have no idea how could they move in those washer & dryer and others like bed through this tiny stairs and doors
Great style!. Can the Flybridge retain an added Jacuzzi?
Every time you walkthrough a yacht of this class, I briefly ponder whether I should have purchased one of these over my condo. Amazing how much you get for reasonably similar cost.
Wonder if there's a smaller engine option so that the range can increase closer to 3000 knots.
Great boat...terrific layout and packaging...kinda wish Nick had more time to open up more storage spaces and other bits. There seemed to be a top loading something or other in the corner of the bar up on the flybridge that I wonder about. LOL
This is my favourite owner operator at the min. Very nice 👌🏻
Amazing boat Nick so much space & options excellent review.
Thanks so much!
I notice the angels hanging around the ship perfect 1.5
Lovely boat. That front cabin would be the owner's/master cabin if mine because of it having the twin sinks compared to that midships cabin.
I’m pretty sure those air vents in the pilot house are from a Mercedes.
Pocket doors
Hi Nick, And thank you for this interesting yacht from Absolute Navetta 68 with that snub nose that give that a trawler style boat nice and the strait windows of the bridge very nice I like the Master in the bow more then the big room in the back and still space for a laundry room there under with extra storage, great crew cabine Thanks again Nick a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My pleasure!
On this boat do you need a crew? Looks like you could handle it solo with friends for dock maneuvers. If it was mine I would get my captain's license and find friends whenever you want to take it out. I would eliminate the crew quarters and make more room for a fun experience.
No you don't, most owners would operate this boat themselves.
The Pearl 72 is number one and this ranks number two. I'll wait a year and pay a million USD less. Thanks for the tour. Great as usual.
haha, just looked at the Pearl, it's not even in the same planet as this boat. the only selling point of the pearl is interior design but how long will that last? this boat runs circles around the gimmicky pearl
These Navetta boats just keep getting better and betterer.
Are those Mercedes climate control vents by the controls?
That one Nick I could see myself owning. As the name suggests ABSOLUTEly everything you could ever wish for on a yacht. Lots of cabins. Lots of style elegance and extremely clever use of space and... Wine coolers !! No wave Nick ?
These novetta boats are my favorite for practicality while still being stylish
I like these trawler types of boats. The amount of equipment in the gallery is great with the dinning area opposite. The access around the boat is impressive, with storage all around.
Engine room is very roomy, 800 to 2,000 nautical miles the lower the speed. Excellent boat.
I just love the Absolute Navetta range. This is a great boat, but I do slightly prefer the smaller 64 you reviewed last year, the one that had a proper extra bedroom/room in the stern (I hate the term ‘beach club’, it’s overused). Navetta, Galeon, Princess and Fairline’s - my favourites!
Very impressive, particularly the performance and range when using the engine's in their most frugal setting. A definite frontrunner when considering both form and function from a 68 ft owner/operator boat.
The best yatch i have seen so far - regarding usability/layout/design/features - on your channel !
I could see myself living on this, which is not usually the case on many yatch.
I like the way they have designed the wheelhouse to be raised and separated from the rest of the main floor.
One of my top 3 boats, probably my favorite non catamaran interior. Absolutely love the crew area, though not a fan of wet heads. To be honest, though, for me there'd be no crew, so overflow/storage and day head for swim platform. I really love this boat.
Absolute is a very nice boat for the money
I read Absolute, I immediatly click and I smile all the way through! Could this actually be my favourite Yacht ever? I wonder 😉 Thank you for the wonderful tour as always Nick!
You're very welcome! 🙂
This boat, for the size, is absolutely amazing! I can't believe how much room they've packed in there.
Fantastic boat and thanks for covering this one Nick
You're welcome! 🙂
Love this! What a smashing yacht! Superb owner/driver boat!
I don’t like the toilet in the doorway to the engine space.
where is the toilet in the owners cabin??
I've always loved Absolute's split level design for the forward cabin and storage/laundry underneath. I also like the abundance of cold storage with the lockers in the crew area. Often, for distance cruisers, it never seems like there is enough, but it looks like it's well covered here. Great tour as always!
This is the yacht to have. Just a all-round wonderful experience.
What is the use of flybridge when it is raining or very cold winter?
Very little when it's raining or very cold winter. In fact if you plan to boat only when it's raining or very cold winter then it would be useless. 🙂
Absolutely beautiful boat 🚢
From steering wheel OCD to fridge handle OCD...
It's called regression 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome luxurious boat
MAMA MIA - the Italians 🇮🇹 have yet again produced an incredible, stunningly, beautiful, awesome explorer yacht for their "Absolute" model range. Bella, Bella! Great walkthrough Nick as always. Dio ti benedica, Ciao from Italy 🇮🇹!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
A stand out for me is that I don't think I heard the floor creak even once. There are a ton of new boats that creak when you walk around them but this was rock solid, very nice! Thanks, Nick.
An amazing yacht with loads of space ,loads of area for guests and a very tidy engine room ,crew quarters area would prefer a beach club area with bathroom toilet ,but overall just brilliant .
Brilliant boat, as absolutes always are. The half deck is so unique and I would definitely have that one as my master! Fabulous tour thanks Nick.
You're very welcome! 🙂
That’s a belter, just slipped into my top 10! Accessing the engine room via the crew heads is a little odd but I can do odd! Huge boat for the price, thanks Nick 😃
You're welcome! 🙂
Very clever design, it feels HUGE inside for a 68 footer. Looks to be REALLY REALLY REALLY solid build/nicely appointed as well. If it were my boat I'd say screw that sunroof(those always break anyways) and put a bunch of solar panels up there, along with a bunch of batteries in that forward cargo hold. Less time running the generator the better IMO.
It's funny because "Navetta" is Finnish and means "barn" or "cowshed" - Absolute cowshed :D
It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but for a sub 70ft WOW I like it a lot! Mr Burnham sir like you said the trawler style gives this boat good volume and they have used it well,two "master" cabins plenty of storage like the room under the bed etc. The whole layout and execution of this grand yacht is great I could see myself living abroad this fine vessel full time. Nick I really appreciate anytime you reply but last Sunday I found it strange that you spent time to reply but not to address what was said in my message when a hart reply would have been sufficient I don't know just saying. Again Sir another excellent episode ❤️ Aquaholics as ever 👌🖖
Love the look and feel inside…… innovative packaging……. oozing quality 🙂
Not so keen on the overall height viewed from the side…… I find the stance a little ungainly, although it works in function. Both helm positions are great for their position and view…….
Not sure I would want to tackle big stuff at any pace…… I’m sure it’s very sure footed, I just find the short (for volume) length and bulky height disconcerting……
Great tour as ever Nick 🙂🇬🇧
What a beauty, many thanks Nick 🛥👍
My pleasure!
Perfect boat for the Mediterranean
'it's an opening section that you can see because it's open' the 'absolute' first joke of 2023. As always great work Nick. 👍
Absolute Yachts - a life dream that I can live in TH-cam vids. 😇
Great tour as always Nick
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This is my new favorite.
"The Absolute 78, absolutely fascinating"...😂😂😂. Gotta love Nick! Glad I have been watch your videos over a second time through. My favorite has to be when you have a blooper and say "going to edit that out later...you we won't". That always makes me smile.
I'm glad that you are enjoying them 🙂
Beautiful boat, really, but for the size and price I would prefer more the sirena 68. Why? I think it's more practical better crew space if you need one and a big price difference. Maybe in the future you can tell beside how much a boat really cost ex factory with those extras you're showing on your videos and not the bottom price. I trust this boat were all watching having at least 500.000 € extras on it. Flying bridge is great here, but nothing to compare with sirenas 68
"...but it is the interior I think you'll find the most impressive part....". Too true! That hideous exterior looks like a child's bath tub toy... drawn by a child.
Nice yacht with lots in it for a 68 footer. Love your tours & non edited fopars you say you will edit out & don’t. Adds welcome humour that you poke at yourself along the way. Thanks again Nick.👍🇨🇦👌
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
While I'm a fan of the 150'+ category, this Navetta really reminds me of how big a 68 foot boat is.
As an aside, what is the link or gross tonnage for when a boat is _required_ to have crew? And is there a minimum crew required?
Nick, what a great use of space. Very sharp-looking yacht.
A lot of space in side alright, but the exterior styling is some what lacking. The wife was passing as I watched and said it looked like a bar of soap! Like it or love it, it ticks the first on my list of necessary requirements for a boat. It floats, doesn't really have to move. Floating is a good starting point. 😄 You've shown us better boats for similar money, but if somebody was offering me one I wouldn't say no.
Beautiful boat. Although best feature is Mercedes-Benz airvents on pilothouse’s dashboard. 😁
downstairs "owners cabin" is only "full beam" because they didn't put in proper bathroom. If they did, it's no longer a full beam and having the bathroom in the cabin itself isn't very "owner" to me.
A really tiny dishwasher there for such a big boat 🤣but the admiring comments from viewers who will never in their lives will be able to afford a thing like that are popcorn worthy 🍿especially the ones with the expert view as if they’ve been decade long owners of one. Good luck with winning the jackpot next time y’all 😇
Great video as always. Love the boat. Just wondering why no "windows" in the guest cabins - just portholes...
Lovely looking boat, amazing finish but what’s with the tiny portholes and blacked out guest cabins though?!
Nick what would you get now used for around 150k with a cabin that is (semi) enclosed that can close the cabin but allow the cabin to be enclosed enough to have proper A/C in the hotter days. There seems to be a huge lack of options for this feature set both new and used, a saxdor would be pretty nice even new the biggest one but I am not sure about it + no shower is kind of a deal breaker IMO.
Always appreciate your kind greeting to Low Bathing Platform on many of your videos.
My favourite yacht maker. So much space in so little length. I do prefer the 73 though. Pocket superyacht.
3:38 Just what I needed, sitting in Liverpool whilst its freezing & snowing, to see that the temperature in FL was 104.1F when this was filmed - that made me feel even colder!
