Absolute Navetta 64

Cruising Motoryacht for All Occasions

As can be seen in the image above, when not cruising the Med or down island, the Absolute Navetta 64 has large entertaining areas to wow even the most jaded guest.

Sirena 58 Coupé

3 En-Suite Staterooms

The new Sirena 58 Coupé is the smallest of the Sirena line, but by fitting her with V-drives and giving her the company's signature plumb bow, the builder has been able to offer three en-suite staterooms.

Ocean Alexander 27E

Super-Sized, Changeable Salon

Thanks to her 20’7” (6.29 m) beam, the 88’9” (27.04 m) long Ocean Alexander 27E has a voluminous salon. The builder’s longtime designer Evan K. Marshall gave the interior a modern look by using free-standing furniture that can be moved as needed. He also used large glass doors and windows so big they could be called glass walls. More...
