The Genoa International Boat Show continues its voyage towards the future, with an entirely new exhibition space designed by Renzo Piano that will be completed for the 2023 edition. This year, the 62nd International Boat Show will be held from 22 to 27 September, with over a thousand exhibitors attracting both journalists and connoisseurs sharing a love of yachts and the sea.

After the success attained at the Cannes Yachting Festival - including the 2022 World Yacht Trophies prize awarded to the Navetta 75 in the "Best Interior Design" category - Absolute returns to Genoa with four yachts afloat, the Navetta 68 and 52, and the 62 Fly, in addition to the new Navetta 75.

An event such as the Genoa show is important because it offers the chance for visitors to experience the Absolute world first-hand. The "wow effect" that has become a customary occurrence for visitors boarding an Absolute yacht for the first time is guaranteed for the flagship Navetta 75. This sensation is evoked by the interiors hallmarked by the finest materials - timber, leather, fabric wall coverings, stainless steel, glass - and the meticulously detailed design that reveals the brand's absolute expertise in its field.

The size of the Navetta 75 enables it to express the brand's mastery throughout, and in fact the keyword chosen for this craft is "sphere", suggesting the concept of unrivalled perfection and balance. As for all Absolute yachts, the sense of space instilled by the Navetta 75 is exceptional and gives the impression of a far larger yacht. This is achieved by features that have become Absolute hallmarks, such as the use of sliding doors, very large windows, and the unobtrusive optimisation of every centimetre.

The Absolute yachting experience offered by the Navetta 52 lies in its appeal, its superb comfort and liveability, surpassing that of other similarly sized yachts. The saloon has 360 degrees panoramic windows that ensure constant visual contact with the sea, with all the facilities that ensure unparalleled pleasure on board: a spacious galley, and a handy side door enabling the owner to supervise mooring operations. The saloon doors can be opened to create a functional open space overlooking the water. Absolute's superb finish is found throughout the yacht, from the bow sun loungers to the comprehensively equipped fly and the spacious cabins.

The Navetta 68 offers a vision of the Absolute approach, as exemplified by the flybridge terrace. This extensive area invites relaxation in good company, with sofas alongside the helm station, an outdoor galley, dining table and sofas, in short, all that you need for quality time in a beautiful marine setting. Below decks, the master suite is in the bows for privacy and tranquillity, with a large double bed accessible from three sides, and an en-suite head and shower. Throughout, the materials are the finest available, assembled with state-of-the-art expertise and demonstrating Absolute's signature Italian design flair.
