The four-cabin semi-displacement model could be among the inland Italian builder’s three world premieres at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival.

Following Absolute’s premieres of its Navetta 62 and 70 Fly models at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Italian shipyard has announced another new model in the making – the Navetta 66 – which will be among the shipyard’s world premieres at the Cannes show next year.

The semi-displacement flybridge yacht has been nicknamed the ‘Absolute Aurora’ and is described by the yard as being inspired by the first light of dawn, due to its numerous new features and reimagined layout.

A key element of the yacht’s refreshed design is an additional fourth cabin, created for guests to enjoy infinity-style views out to sea due to its aft location just above sea level. Direct access to the water is also offered via the aft swimming platform.

Together with a forward, full-beam owner’s suite, a VIP cabin midships and a twin cabin, the Navetta 66 can host eight guests overnight.

Another design highlight of the Navetta 66 is the aft cockpit. The family-friendly area features a new retractable sunshade, as well as a glass parapet, designed to provide panoramic views while also enhancing safety on board for children and pets during alfresco entertaining.

The Navetta 66 is topped off with a generously sized flybridge featuring a flexible, modular lounge area, another alfresco dining space, a fully equipped wet bar, and a helm station with an uninterrupted windshield.

With the yacht designed and constructed entirely in-house at the Absolute yard in Podenzano, owners can customise their Navetta 66 with a choice of two colour schemes: the brightly coloured Sunrise palette or the deeper Nightfall option. Ample use of glass allows the interiors to be flooded by natural light, with wood and ceramic finishes completing the contemporary look.

Like all other Navetta models by Absolute, the Navetta 66 will be powered by twin Volvo Penta engines.

Absolute, whose dealers in Asia include Absolute Marine, also plans to debut the Navetta 58 at next year’s Cannes show, along with a third world premiere, to be revealed at this month’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
