Absolute Yachts wins top honour at boot Düsseldorf

Absolute Yachts has taken a major international win at boot Düsseldorf, with the Navetta 62 named Best Passagemaker Motor Yacht at the 2026 Motor Boat Awards.

The awards, presented by Motor Boat and Yachting during the Düsseldorf show, are decided on objective criteria. Design, seakeeping, build quality, and value all count. Shortlisted boats are sea-trialed by the publication’s technical jury before winners are confirmed.

The Navetta 62 was recognised as a long-range cruiser built for owners who want to travel, not just for a day trip. The release highlights extensive glazing that opens up the saloon and strengthens the visual connection to the sea. Outdoor spaces are designed to be used, with a large panoramic flybridge set up for sun protection, lounging, and social time at anchor.

Inside, the focus remains on bright, calm living spaces and a layout that suits extended stays aboard. Premium finishes, a fully equipped galley, and living areas designed around real onboard routines are central to the concept. The lower deck places emphasis on privacy and wellbeing, with generous cabins and separation where it matters.


In New Zealand, Absolute is represented by Yacht Finders Global, based at Westhaven in Auckland, giving local buyers a direct link to the brand.
