Navetta 58

Onboard the Navetta 58

Absolute built the Navetta 58 as a full-displacement cruiser, and it shows in how the 17-metre hull holds its line underway and settles quietly at rest. The main deck runs open from cockpit to saloon, giving guests room to move without stepping around hardware, and three cabins below mean a party of up to twelve can spread out rather than double up for the night.

For a day on the water off Saint-Tropez, the Navetta 58 sits comfortably in the Gulf's typical five-to-twelve-metre depths, close enough that a short tender run puts guests on Quai Jean Jaurès for lunch or an evening near the market stalls at Place des Lices. Owners after something quieter sometimes ask for a short run north instead, mooring for the night in the Port Grimaud canal rather than the open water off town.

Twelve guests and three cabins put this yacht in a practical range for a family taking the whole group away for a long weekend, or a small private lunch on the water rather than a table on the quay. Its size keeps the day simple: one route to agree on, enough deck space to eat and swim without crowding, and no need to manage numbers larger than the boat was built for.
