Is this the new market leader in the sub-55ft flybridge sector? The Absolute 52 Fly certainly has a lot going for it and manages to incorporate a seriously impressive amount of living space into a 16.8m (54ft 9in) boat.
In this world-exclusive in-depth walkthrough tour and review, shot at the 2023 Miami Boat, Jack Haines guides you through the 52 Fly’s decks and interior and machinery space including an owner’s stateroom that is a real surprise for a boat of this size.
The 52 Fly uses Absolute’s latest design language, which includes huge hull windows forward and amidships, fin-like haunches at the stern and open gunwales on either side of the cockpit to maintain the connection to the water. Handsome free-standing furniture in the cockpit and on the flybridge is also a hallmark of the newest Absolute flybridge models.
Absolute only use Volvo Penta IPS on its boat and this one has IPS800 with 600hp per side for a top speed of 28 knots.

She's a lovely craft, love all the colours and finishes. It is amazing how much they can cram into a 52' yacht. I like the really large access door to the engine room for us larger bodies.

What a cracking boat. They certainly know how to use space wisely and I love the lower helm 👍🏻

The space for just 52 feet is amazing. Thanks for the review. You will reach the 5000 subs soon. Good luck. Like your logo and the used refreshing blue

I like the layout. I'd just split the VIP into 2 smaller cabins and use the twin bed cabin as a guest room since the twin beds can be put together. Love the forward owner's suite and the good sized fridge in the galley.

Helm station door is so smart…and solar panels…perfect…drop down windows are beautiful….

I like the main bedroom bed facing the front of the boat, rather then cramming it in the front.

What a great boat and fantastic value too especially compared to the new princess 55. And finally another cracking review by Jack and the team.

Great Presentation 👍 Absolute did it again with elegant italian style and clever use of space. Expensive yacht though at 1,34 € mln compared to 1,19 € mln for the Azimut 53 Fly which has wider beam at 4,95 meter ( vs. 4,67 meter for Absolute ) and longer range at low speed ( 2400 L of fuel vs 1800 for Absolute ) not to mention higher standards of wood, fabrics and fit/finish at Azimut. Best strategy for yacht buyer ? Go for the 56 Fly instead with only 15% of price increase compared to the 52 Fly 🙃

@keithhughes2104 Жыл бұрын

Azimut use Alpi wood (as do many boat builders) which is compressed board that is laminated. No side door at the helm so more difficult to sail single handed.

The 52 might cause the 56 a problem, that’s for sure!

Hi Jack, I am enjoying watching your videos. Quick question: did you, by any chance, tour the Leopard 40 Powercat or the Xquisite 40 Powercat at MIBS? Keep up the good work!

@Yachtbuyer Жыл бұрын

Hi Alex, I didn’t see either of the boats at Miami I’m afraid but we have a special test of the Leopard PC40 planned in the near future so keep an eye out for that - Jack

I hope you can open that crew cabin from the inside. It should have a way of letting other's know that it is occupied.

Absolute are building some great boats, Princess, Sunseeker etc need to look to their laurels, if only a UK dealer would take them on.

@brianmiller6443 Жыл бұрын

Princess boats are a lot better quality than absolute. Absolute are a lot cheaper materials and quality than princess. I like absolute but they're pricey too.

@Superdada Жыл бұрын

@@brianmiller6443I’m not so sure that’s the case anymore. Absolute has come a long way in recent years. I was actually quite unimpressed with a new Princess I saw. Absolute are doing better layouts in my humble opinion.

Spare cabin for overnight use, translation 'Where I would put my mother in law if I owned this yacht' lol. I would stick my teenager in there, but he would request it himself anyways. Love Absolutes. Not a Galeon mind you which is my ultimate favorite, but Absolute is always my #2 choice. Especially that 64' Pathfinder with the rear beach club or cabin with the Mercedes style air vents and the mini fridge. It's awesome. Azimut is too much design, Sirena is too sparse, Sunseeker is too expensive. Fairline, Horizon, Absolute, Galeon..yeah

@sirmurf Жыл бұрын

I agree with much of what you say about the different brands. What do you reckon to Pearl? £1.3m + VAT for the basic 62. An awful lot of boat for the money.

@clifbradley Жыл бұрын

@@sirmurf I forgot Pearl. I like those too. Probably better interior than Fairline but what I like about Fairline is the reverse chine they use and that prevents hull slap so they are really quite. But I'm a big fan of Kelly Hoppen interiors and she does all of Pearl's design work. Everything in a Pearl is laid out with purpose and gracefullness. There is subtlety in design that creates consistent flow. What I don't like is that they lack storage space and are noisy. They use solid engine mounts instead of rubberized cork or just rubber. You get a fair bit of NVH on them. But a stunning yacht all the same. And for the price they are pretty nice, plus if you start out on a 62', you can grow into a larger yacht within that brand. Sorry I talk too much. Lol. What are your favorites?

Appears to be low end quality press wood and laminate. A floating winnebago. Nice appearance cheap parts

English builders could learn a lot from this design instead of the same old layout,s.

@ironichumorist Жыл бұрын

that transom door for the anemic crew cabin looks super flimsy. and a cew cabin on a 52 is just silly. kindly fit that space our as storage or with scuba tank racks and a dive compressor.

@Yachtbuyer Жыл бұрын

That’s an option if you don’t have crew. You can keep the bathroom, too, which is quite handy.
