Used Absolute Yacht 72 Flybridge For Sale

Golden, waterproofed teak covers just about every square inch of the flybridge and main-deck exterior, setting the scene for a range of contemporary outdoor living spaces that are drenched in sun. To the rear of the al-fresco bridge there is space for a set of sun-loungers, while a sculptural radar arch features both an overhead shower and an electric Bimini roof. Further forward there is a walk-in wet-bar with an ice-chipper, two grills, a sink, chilled storage, masses of storage space for glassware and a tempered glass and steel serving bar. Across from this there is a starboard seating lounge with a U-shaped dining sofa with a double-width table, a forward loveseat, a cocoon-style sunpad and, of course, an upper helm station. One level down you will discover a Portuguese bridge-sofa and a forward daybed down on the foredeck, with a transom sofa and a breakfast table located in the entirely sheltered cockpit. Side steps at the stern lead down to a bulky, full-beam, timber-lined bathing platform that can be lowered into the water at the touch of a button and access to crew quarters for two.

This is a yacht that hides its sheer bulk well from profile, yet you get a sense of its cavernous dimensions when stepping into the main-deck salon through rear sliding glass doors. Framed by seemingly never-ending mullion windows, lit by illuminated block ceiling panels, lined in golden and pale oak, with steel and bronze-effect accents abounding, this vast space hosts a trio of sofas and an armchair surrounding a bespoke coffee table. Angled bookshelves, curved and backlit display cabinets and a bevel-edged dining table for eight can also be found in here, before you come to a partially enclosed galley to port. This walk-in kitchen features pink or pale marble work surfaces, a huge American-style fridge with an in-built wine cooler, a stainless-steel sink, a four-zone hob, a convection oven and more. Up front there is a trio of Garmin or Raymarine multi-function display screens sitting within a modern helm station that looks like something out of a cruise ship, and you will also find thruster controls, a Penta docking joystick, VHF radio, a leather-clad steering wheel and a pair of leather piloting seats up here.

Four cabins on the lower-deck, three of them with en-suite facilities, provide voluminous rest space for up to eight overnight guests, though some owners choose to exchange one of the amidship twins for a lower office. A VIP double to the bow features square mullions, a double island bed, full-height closets and a lavish bathroom, while the owner’s stateroom is located further aft. This full-beam cabin features a king-sized bed, a work-desk, vertical mullioned windows, a side chaise, a walk-in dressing room and a bathroom lined in marble or granite with two sinks and a timber-clad shower stall that feels more like a Scandinavian sauna.

Twin 900MHP Volvo Penta D13 IPS1200 pod-drive diesel engines fire the Absolute 72 Fly to full-throttle speeds reaching 31 knots, with ultra-smooth cruising speeds clocking in at around 24 knots. Should you wish to take it easy and tour the coast for days on end then this yacht enjoys a range of over 880 nautical miles at a leisurely 9 knot pace.
