Founded in 2002 by Sergio Maggi and Marcello Bè, Absolute Yachts is an independent Italian yacht builder specializing in luxury motor yachts from 47’ (14m) to 75’5” (23m). Headquartered in Podenzano, Piacenza, the company employs approximately 250 professionals and produces around 90 yachts annually from a single, fully integrated 48,000m² facility. The yard operates four production lines, Coupé, Flybridge, Sport yacht, and Navetta, offering serial builds with customizable layouts and finishes.

Absolute was among the first to integrate Volvo Penta’s IPS pod propulsion across its fleet, optimizing performance, handling, and fuel efficiency. The yard’s ISS (Integrated Structural System) manufacturing method fuses interior modules directly into the hull structure during layup. This results in increased stiffness, reduced vibration, and better acoustic insulation. All production is in-house, allowing strict quality control and timely delivery across model lines.

The current portfolio includes high-volume designs such as the Navetta 64, Navetta 70, and 72 Fly. Each model reflects the builder’s focus on owner usability, contemporary Italian styling, and practical features like solar-integrated hardtops and owner-accessible maintenance zones. Absolute’s balance of technical integrity and design evolution has earned it international awards and a strong dealer network spanning 20 countries.
