Absolute Navetta 64 Video Review: A Family Cruiser With a Beach Club
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough7 min read
The Absolute Navetta 64 is an Italian flybridge cruiser built for long weekends with family and friends. We walked a brand new one in Montauk, New York, still with stickers on. She runs twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350 pods and has a Seakeeper. The main deck has a galley aft, a lounge with a pop-up TV and a helm with a love seat. Below there is a full-beam owner's cabin, a VIP cabin and a twin cabin. Aft there is a beach club, and the flybridge has a grill and dining for eight.
Space, light and finish you do not expect
The first thing you notice is space. The main deck windows are about 4 ft tall and 8 ft wide, and the ceilings clear a 6 ft 1 in adult with room to spare. The finish is just as striking. Even the leather on the helm seat column and the inside of the floor panels are done properly, and the systems room is painted, labelled and clean enough to sit in. We looked hard for faults and found very few.
What stood out on board
- A beach club with a viewThe bench folds into a bed behind glass doors, with its own fridge, AC and shower.
- Three helm stationsThe main helm, the flybridge and a docking station aft with a joystick and cameras.
- A window that becomes a barThe aft galley window drops away and a panel folds over to make a serving counter.
- Bow and stern thrustersPlus a joystick, so the boat is easy to dock in any condition.
- A grill with a coverA folding heat-proof cover on the flybridge grill stops grease spraying around.
- Detail you cannot seeLeather inside the helm seat column, foam-lined floor panels and teak engine hatch latches.

The Absolute Navetta 64 is built for living on board. The main deck is full of light, the cabins have big windows and lots of storage, and the beach club works as a lounge, a toy store or an extra bed. Three helm stations, thrusters at both ends and a Seakeeper make her easy and calm to run. The finish holds up even where nobody looks. She was not taken out, so we cannot speak to the ride.
