ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 52

“Reaching for the Absolute” is the essence of the brand philosophy of the internationally renowned Italian company, Absolute Yachts. Manufacturing luxury yachts ranging from 47 to 73 feet is what they do, and Absolute founders, Marcello Bè and Sergio Maggi, are recognized as Italian modern pioneers in the creation of boats. The Navetta 52 represents the elegance and functionality that epitomizes this brand, and no doubt, is the reason that it was crowned Adriatic Boat of the Year in the 51- to 60-foot motoryacht category at the Internautica International Boat Show. She also the debut yacht at the Dusseldorf Boat Show earlier this year. The word absolute is defined as a clear and effective action devoid of waste and the Navetta 52 fits this definition to a T. Each one of her three decks has a clutter-free quality that would please even the most discerning space organizers.

JASPER MARINE FREEDOM 28

Jasper Marine is named after its founder Jasper Vermeulen, who is from the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia. From the time he was a kid, he was surrounded by boats, and as a certified A-level welder, he set out to create his own build. The Freedom 28 brings together all the qualities that make Jasper Marine’s sturdy marine grade aluminum hulls stand out. Extreme durability, functionality, unlimited customizability, and the ability to land on beaches and rocky shorelines make this boat amazing. Add to this a well-finished, free-board space that provides comfort, curb appeal, and usability, and you have the perfect boat. The modern and sleek Freedom 28 performance stats are impressive. With a cruising speed at 40 knots, and a top speed of 55 knots, you’ll get where you need to go comfortably— whether you’re heading out for a long weekend or chasing a school of fish. With a military grade welded aluminum hull, she delivers debris impact resistance, and with her twin 300 hp Mercury Verado V8 outboard engines, you can travel 250 nautical miles at 40 knots before you need to refuel. She comfortably sleeps four, seats up to six, and has headroom in the main cabin for the tallest among us at 6’5! The Freedom 28 also has ample storage throughout and is trailerable. Customization is encouraged, and options include the additions of a bow thruster, joystick steering and trolling control, twin 400 hp engines, aft deck or cabin table, radar, FLIR thermal night vision, custom aluminum trailer and so much more. If you’ve been searching for a rugged, tasteful, and dependable boat for fishing and cruising, check out Jasper Marine as there is a lot of goodness coming from the Sunshine Coast.
