by Italy’s Absolute Yachts continues its recent design developments on the upcoming 56 Fly, which is set to premiere at Cannes.
Absolute is scheduled to show its 56 Fly at the Cannes Yachting Festival (September 6-11), having debuted the 60 Fly as well as the 48 Coupe at last September’s edition before their US premieres at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The upcoming addition to the Fly line has an overall length of 57ft 10in (17.64m) and a beam of 15ft 9in (4.79m).
Following new design features by the Piacenza-based shipyard on the 60 Fly, the 56 Fly will also feature a transparent parapet in the aft cockpit and a clear deck for the inclusion of loose furniture such as two or three sofas facing aft or to the sides, as well as a coffee table. The area overlooks a sizeable swim platform.
The flybridge features a C-shaped sofa and a table to starboard, where a forward-facing sofa adjoins a triple sunpad by the low windscreen. The port side features a twin-seat helm station forward of a wet bar. Like the cockpit, the aft end of the flybridge also features a transparent parapet and a clear area for loose furniture like facing sofas and low tables.
Like on both the 60 Fly and 48 Coupe, the hard top can also be fitted with solar panels. The foredeck features a sofa and an adjustable table, while forward is a flexible triple sunpad.
The interior starts with an aft galley, while the saloon is up one step and features a C-shaped sofa to port and a table, plus a two-seat sofa to starboard.
The interior benefits from large windows including partially opening electric windows, while views are also enhanced by open bulwarks on the main deck. The twin-seat helm is to starboard and has access to a side door, while forward stairs lead to the lower deck.
The lower deck includes a full-beam owner’s cabin in the bow with huge hull windows providing lots of natural light and great views, while the en-suite bathroom is forward.
Other guest accommodation includes a full-beam VIP with en-suite bathroom midships and a twin cabin to starboard, which has the same ceiling height as the larger cabins. The hallway includes a washer dryer, there’s also a twin crew cabin aft, while space-saving sliding doors are a recurring feature in the interior. Absolute is represented in Hong Kong by Absolute Marine.
