OUR YACHTS ON DISPLAY:
The 2026 Absolute Navetta 53 is a must-see at the Newport International Boat Show for cruising families who want the space, comfort, and sophistication of a much larger yacht in a highly manageable 52-foot package. Its open gunwales, expansive windows, glass-sided cockpit terrace, and spacious flybridge create exceptional views and inviting outdoor areas for entertaining, while the bright interior offers a seamless connection between the salon, galley, and cockpit. Below deck, the full-beam master stateroom is joined by a generous forward VIP cabin and a versatile third cabin, providing comfortable accommodations for extended cruises throughout New England or longer voyages south. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS650 engines, the Navetta 53 also delivers efficient performance, responsive handling, and easier maneuvering around busy marinas. Seeing it in person at the Newport show is the best way to appreciate its generous 15-foot-3-inch beam, refined Italian craftsmanship, thoughtful use of space, and remarkable sense of openness.
The 2027 Absolute 52 Fly deserves a prime position on your must-see list at the Newport International Boat Show, particularly if you appreciate yachts that make intelligent use of every available foot. At 54 feet, 9 inches, the 52 Fly delivers the volume and amenities normally associated with a substantially larger yacht, including a beautifully arranged flybridge with its own galley and bar, a glass-sided terrace cockpit, panoramic main-deck windows, and a remarkably private full-beam master stateroom positioned forward. A luxurious midship VIP suite, convertible third cabin, separate crew accommodations, and responsive Volvo Penta IPS propulsion make it a compelling choice for family cruising throughout New England and beyond. Yet specifications tell only part of the story—the real appeal is how naturally the interior and outdoor spaces flow together, creating an atmosphere that feels open, contemporary, and connected to the sea. Stepping aboard in Newport is the best way to understand why the Absolute 52 Fly is one of the most thoughtfully designed and sophisticated flybridge yachts in its class.
The 2027 Prestige F4.3 deserves a place at the top of your Newport International Boat Show itinerary because few flybridge yachts of this size combine space, style, and cruising practicality so convincingly. At just under 43 feet, the F4.3 feels remarkably generous, with a flybridge arranged for six, a sociable C-shaped cockpit, a hydraulic swim platform, and an innovative OceanView galley that opens toward the aft deck to create a natural gathering place at the water’s edge. Below, a bright amidships master suite and refined forward VIP cabin provide the privacy and comfort needed for weekends along the New England coast. Twin Volvo Penta D6-440 diesels deliver a projected 23-knot cruising speed and 30-knot top speed, giving the F4.3 the performance to match its contemporary Garroni Design profile. Newport is the perfect setting in which to step aboard and appreciate how successfully Prestige has translated big-yacht amenities into an approachable, owner-friendly package.
