The all-new Absolute 47 Fly replaces the 45 Fly and is now the smallest boat in Absolute's flybridge range. This model packs a lot of features and clever design into a compact package.
Cockpit
Despite its compactness, the Absolute 47 Fly does not skimp on features. The cockpit includes proper stern gear, such as fairleads, cleats, and an electric winch as standard, which is particularly useful for stern-to mooring. An electric cockpit shade provides privacy and shade. The ceiling features stylish inset LED lighting, adding a touch of luxury.
Saloon and Galley
The saloon features an aft-galley layout, a signature of Absolute, with a clever minibar area that connects to the cockpit via an electric window. The galley includes a good-sized fridge and freezer, along with additional storage under the seating. The main dinette has a table with adjustable height and fold-out leaves for extra space. The helm station is ergonomically designed with a glass bridge system, a Volvo Penta screen, and convenient joystick and throttle placement.
Master Cabin
The master cabin is located forward, a unique feature for a boat of this size. The bed is angled to maximize space, allowing for walk-around access and large bow windows that flood the cabin with natural light. The ensuite bathroom features a separate shower cubicle with a glass door and smart storage solutions, including a slot around the pipework under the sink.
Guest Cabins
The starboard guest cabin has twin beds with a cushion between them, a large window, and hanging storage. The port guest cabin is more like a mini master cabin, with good headroom and a cleverly designed walk-in wardrobe. The cabins feature sliding doors to save space.
Flybridge
The flybridge is spacious and well-designed, with dedicated sunbathing space forward, a comfortable seating area alongside the helm, and a clean, unfussy helm station. The dinette provides ample seating, and the wet bar includes a fridge and icemaker. Absolute's attention to detail is evident in the pop-up tap and Corian top on the wet bar lid.
Engine Room
The engine room houses a pair of Volvo Penta IPS 650 engines, each providing 480 horsepower for a top speed of 28.2 knots. The cruising speed is most comfortable at around 20-23 knots. The engine room is well-laid out, with easy access to all sides of the engines, making daily service checks simple. Everything is clearly labeled for quick identification, and the air conditioning unit is working hard to keep the boat comfortable.
In summary, the Absolute 47 Fly offers a well-thought-out design with luxurious touches and practical features, making it a standout choice for those looking for a compact yet fully-featured flybridge yacht.
