The Absolute 62 Fly has three staterooms with en-suite heads including a full-beam master stateroom with centerline berth. The hull is designed around twin Volvo Penta 950 IPS drives to add efficiency and performance to the package. Large side windows allow natural light to flood the galley, dinette and salon on the main deck. Add plenty of headroom and the Absolute 62 Fly feels like a much larger yacht. ## Test Results | RPM | MPH | Knots | GPH | MPG | NMPG | SM | NM | dBa | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 600 | 6.3 | 5.4 | 2.3 | 2.7 | 2.4 | 1678 | 1458.9 | 70 | | 1000 | 9.8 | 8.5 | 8.4 | 1.2 | 1 | 717 | 623.2 | 69 | | 1250 | 11.5 | 10 | 16.6 | 0.7 | 0.6 | 428 | 371.9 | 70 | | 1500 | 13.3 | 11.6 | 30.4 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 271 | 235.3 | 71 | | 1750 | 15.8 | 13.7 | 42.5 | 0.4 | 0.3 | 230 | 199.8 | 76 | | 2000 | 24.3 | 21.1 | 48.5 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 309 | 268.4 | 74 | | 2200 | 29.9 | 26 | 46.9 | 0.6 | 0.6 | 394 | 342.3 | 74 | | 2400 | 34.4 | 29.9 | 68.2 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 311 | 270.6 | 76 | | 2550 | 37.6 | 32.7 | 75.9 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 306 | 266.1 | 76 | [View the test results in metric units](#) ![](/sites/default/files/monachus_issa45_chart_19.jpg) ## Specifications | Length Overall | 61' 2" (18.65 m) | |---|---| | Beam | 16' 8" (5.08 m) | | Dry Weight | 67,900 lbs.

Mark Kellum** ![](/sites/default/files/1.%20NYC%20cruise.jpg) The Absolute 62 Fly is the latest Italian immigrant to reach America’s shores, bringing elegant style and superior quality that Absolute is well known for. ![Starboard view](/sites/default/files/2.%20Starboard%20view.jpg) The sleek lines on the Absolute 62 Fly reflect her Italian heritage. The reflective side windows hide the framework while adding style.## **Mission** The Absolute 62 Fly is designed, engineered, and built to be a luxury performance yacht for cruising and entertaining. The wide-open floorplan on the main deck's interior and panoramic views is intended to appeal to both buyers looking to move up in size and quality and experienced boaters that appreciate superior features and the quality build. In addition, the Absolute 62 Fly has three staterooms and three heads that make guests feel comfortable onboard. The Absolute 62 Fly is easy to handle when cruising or when operating close-in, making it the ideal yacht for an owner/operator. ![Port side fly bridge helm](/sites/default/files/3.%20Port%20side%20fly%20bridge%20helm.jpg) The helm is mounted on the port side of the flybridge on the Absolute 62 Fly and there are three al fresco entertaining areas: the aft deck, the forward seating, and the flybridge deck.## **Major Features** - **Twin Volvo Penta IPS950 Drives.** The hull of the Absolute 62 Fly is designed around the twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS950 with pod drives. - **Full-Beam Master Stateroom.** The full-beam master stateroom offers a centerline berth and port and starboard hull side windows with opening portlights. - **En-Suite Master Head Compartment.** The master head compartment has a separate shower. - **Forward VIP Stateroom.** The forward VIP stateroom has an angled double berth for accessibility. - **En-Suite VIP Head Compartment.** The VIP head compartment has a separate shower. - **Guest Stateroom.** The guest stateroom has two single berths that electrically convert to a single double berth. - **Guest/Day Head Compartment.** The guest head compartment doubles as a day head and has a separate shower. - **Full-Featured Galley.** The galley has a cooktop, refrigerator, freezer, sink, oven, icemaker and storage spaces. - **Hydraulic Swim Platform.** The swim platform hydraulically lowers to provide water access or tender retrieval. ![Flybridge layout](/sites/default/files/4.%20Flybridge%20layout.jpg) The flybridge on the Absolute 62 Fly is accessed from stairs leading up from the port side of the aft deck. ![Main deck layout](/sites/default/files/5.%20Main%20deck%20layout.jpg) The main deck on the Absolute 62 Fly is situated between the aft deck and the main salon, allowing the hosts to serve both entertaining areas effectively. ![Stateroom layout](/sites/default/files/6.%20Stateroom%20layout_0.jpg) The Absolute 62 Fly is only available in a three stateroom, three head configuration. A tender garage can be substituted for a crew cabin in the transom.## **Performance** ![Port side](/sites/default/files/7.Port%20side.jpg) Cutting through chop with aplomb, the Absolute 62 Fly did not pound and threw the spray outwards making a smooth dry ride.The Absolute 62 Fly has a length overall of 61’2” (18.65 m), a beam of 18’8” (5.08 m), and a draft of 4’11” (1.50 m). With a dry weight of 67,000 lbs. (30,799 kg), with 56-percent fuel capacity and four people onboard, an estimated test weight of 70,995 lbs. (32,303 kg). **Top Speed.** With twin 725-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS950 pod drive diesel engines running at 2550 rpm, our test boat reached a top speed of 32.7 knots (37.63 mph). **Best Cruise.** At 2200 rpm and 26 knots (29.92 mph), the Absolute 62 Fly achieved a 46.9 gph fuel burn that translated to 0.6 nmpg (0.69 mpg) and a range of 342.3 nautical miles (393.91 statute miles/ 633.94 kilometers) while still reserving 10-percent of the Absolute 62 Fly’s 686-gallon (2,600 L) total fuel capacity. ![RPM table](/sites/default/files/8.%20RPM%20table.JPG) **Acceleration.** In the acceleration test, the Absolute 62 Fly reached planing speed in an average of 7.9 seconds and continued through 20 mph in 9.5 seconds. The test boat Absolute 62 Fly started to plane at 13.5 knots (15.54 MPH / 25.0 KPH ) and was solidly on plane at 19.3 knots (22.21 mph / 35.74 kph). All of these test numbers are the result of Absolute working closely with Volvo Penta on the hull design. ## **Handling** ![Turning](/sites/default/files/9.%20Tight%20turn.jpg) In tight turns, the Absolute 62 Fly demonstrated a composed 16-degree roll into the turn.The Absolute 62 Fly proved to be responsive to the helm when operating at slow speed, close in maneuvering situations, such as leaving and returning to the slip. On plane, the Absolute 62 Fly was even more responsive to the helm. With a light chop, the test boat demonstrated no adverse effects. No pounding and due to meticulous joinery, there was no creaking sounds, no flexing of the decks, doors remained stable, everything stayed tight. Overall, the test captain found the Absolute 62 Fly to be an easy to handle boat that would make a smooth transition for someone trading up from a smaller yacht. ## **Boat Inspection** ![NYC view](/sites/default/files/10.%20NYC%20view.jpg) Manhattan put a whole new spin on “island life.” The Absolute 62 Fly makes a statement even in this rarified environment.## **Stern** The full-beam swim platform on the Absolute 62 Fly is 6’7” (2.01 m) deep. The aft most 5’11” (1.80 m) section is hydraulically actuated for lowering into the water. There’s a reboarding ladder recessed into the trailing edge to port. ![Teak swim platform](/sites/default/files/11.%20Teak%20swim%20platform.jpg) The teak covered swim platform is the logical boarding point on the Absolute 62 Fly. Mortise and tenon joinery add to its strength when underway. ![Submerged swim platform](/sites/default/files/12.%20Submerged%20swim%20platform_0.jpg) Stairs deploy on the starboard side when the swim platform is hydraulically lowered into the water for easy reboarding from the lowered platform. ![Reboarding ladder](/sites/default/files/13.%20Reboarding%20ladder_1.jpg) Note the reboarding ladder and stainless-steel grabrail is on the aft most section of the platform. For added convenience and safety, the Absolute 62 Fly has a deployable handrail to assist when reboarding. ![Grab rail storage](/sites/default/files/14.%20grabrail%20storage.jpg) The reboarding ladder grabrail on the Absolute 62 Fly is stowed conveniently on the inside section of the crew cabin entry hatch. ![Crew cabin window](/sites/default/files/15.%20Crew%20cabin%20window.jpg) Absolute added an attractive reflective design element in the transom of the 62 Fly that provides windows to the crew cabin inside. ![Steps](/sites/default/files/16.%20Steps.jpg) The first two teak covered steps have 10” (25.4 cm) risers with the third step up having an 11” riser (27.9 cm). There is a 14” (35.56 cm) cleat that reflects the design of the handrail on the transom bulwark.## **Aft Deck** Egress to the Aft deck on the Absolute 62 Fly is via starboard side teak covered steps. The partially covered aft deck on the test boat had a custom finished table on a pair of stainless-steel fixed mounts. The protective overhead on the aft deck is 6’7” (2.01 m) above the deck. ![Chocks](/sites/default/files/17.%20Chocks.jpg) On both the starboard and port side aft deck bulwarks are heavy duty chocks, 11” (27.9 cm) double horned bollard cleats and a warping winch with foot pedal controls.

Note the two stainless steel, fixed mount table supports. ![Galley window](/sites/default/files/22.%20Galley%20window.jpg) The window on the port side of the glass galley partition lowers into the aft deck counter to provide a convenient passthrough from the galley. Perfect for entertaining on the aft deck. ![Aft engine control stick](/sites/default/files/23.%20Aft%20engine%20control%20stick.jpg) Built into the starboard side bulwark on the aft deck is storage, a stereo speaker, and an engine control station with a joystick, thruster controls, and engines start/stop controls for a better advantage when backing into a slip.## **Galley and Dinette** The galley and dinette on the Absolute 62 Fly are located directly forward of the aft deck accessed through a 3’6” (1.07 m) wide by 6’3” (1.91 m) high sliding opening in the glass partition. The electrically actuated port side window in the partition lowers into the port side countertop, which serves the aft deck. ![Galley](/sites/default/files/24.%20Galley.jpg) Entering through the glass partition, the fully equipped galley is to port and a dinette is to starboard. There is 6’8” (2.03 m) headroom in this portion of the wide-open main deck. ![Galley fridge](/sites/default/files/25.%20Galley%20Fridge.jpg) The galley on the Absolute 62 Fly has overhead storage and a full-sized refrigerator and freezer. ![Fridge](/sites/default/files/26.%20Fridge.jpg) Immediately inside to port is the refrigerator and freezer convenient for serving guests on the aft deck. ![Cooktop](/sites/default/files/27.%20Cooktop.jpg) Built into the solid surface countertop in the Absolute 62 Fly’s galley is a four-burner induction cooktop. ![Convection oven](/sites/default/files/28.%20Convection%20oven_0.jpg) Directly beneath the cooktop is a Bosch brand convection oven and microwave. ![Counter top](/sites/default/files/29.%20Coutertop.jpg) Forward in the galley is a large preparation, solid surface countertop with a built-in trash-bin and a single basin stainless-steel sink. Note the splash guard forward of the sink. ![Galley storage shelves](/sites/default/files/30.%20Galley%20storage%20shelves.jpg) Below the cooktop and sink in the Absolute 62 Fly’s galley are storage shelves for provisions and kitchen ware. ![Dinette](/sites/default/files/31.%20Dinette.jpg) Across from the galley on the starboard side is a U-shaped dinette with a high-gloss table top on a fixed pedestal. ![Sliding table](/sites/default/files/32.%20Sliding%20table.jpg) The table slides to starboard (shown) to provide more space to transit to the salon from the aft deck.## **Salon** Moving from the galley and dinette forward is a step up. There is a corresponding rise in the overhead, allowing for 6’7” (2.01 m) of headroom. Along with the large side windows and open layout, the main deck feels spacious and bright. The décor throughout the Absolute 62 Fly features zebra wood and blond wood accents along with mirrored insets. ![Large side windows](/sites/default/files/33.%20Large%20side%20windows_0.jpg) Looking forward from the galley and dinette, the large side windows and windshield give an open, airy feel to the interior. ![Salon lighting](/sites/default/files/34.%20Salon%20lighting.jpg) The step up to the Absolute 62 Fly’s salon has a courtesy light built in to help avoid the step becoming a tripping hazard. ![Sofa](/sites/default/files/35.%20Sofa.jpg) On the port side of the salon, there is a sofa that forms a semi-circle around a movable high-gloss zebra wood coffee table. ![Electric windows](/sites/default/files/36.%20Electric%20windows.jpg) There is an electrically-actuated window on the port side to provide ventilation in the Absolute 62 Fly's salon. ![Love sofa](/sites/default/files/37.%20Love%20sofa.jpg) On the starboard side of the salon is love seat-style sofa with end tables on each side that have storage below. ![Zebra wood](/sites/default/files/38.%20Zebra%20wood.jpg) Absolute did not ignore the details on the 62 Fly. Note the zebra wood and mirror insets on the vertical pillar. ![TV](/sites/default/files/39.%20TV.jpg) A flat panel television is mounted on an electrically activated lift directly behind the starboard side sofa.**Electric Television Lift.** Absolute designed the television lift to rise automatically with a single touch of a switch on the aft end of the cabinet. However, to lower, the operator must press and hold the switch. This ensures that fingers and hands are safely clear of the retracting television. ## **Lower Helm** The lower helm is mounted on the starboard side. It has a compass centered on the tilt base, leather wrapped, stainless-steel wheel. The windshield spans 11’2” (3.4 m) and is 4’4” (1.32 m) high. Along with the large side windows and the aft glass partition, the operator has a panoramic view while underway. ![Helm bucket seats](/sites/default/files/40.%20Helm%20bucket%20seats.jpg) The Absolute 62 Fly's lower helm has side-by-side bucket-style operator and companion seating. ![Garmin displays](/sites/default/files/41.%20Garmin%20displays.jpg) The test boat had two 16” (40.64 cm) Garmin multifunction displays mounted in a carbon fiber panel. To port of the displays are the Volvo Penta engine monitor display and the autopilot display. Note the two air condition vents on both sides of the helm. ![Rocker switches](/sites/default/files/42.%20Rocker%20switches.jpg) To the left of the steering wheel is a drink holder, 12-volt port, system rocker switches that light when in the on position. Below the switches is the spotlight controls, windshield wiper controller, and the Quick windlass controller. ![Trim tabs](/sites/default/files/43.%20Trim%20tabs.jpg) To the right of the steering wheel is more system rocker switches, the Volvo Penta engine start/stop switches. Below the switches are the trim tab controller with indicators and the bow thruster controller. ![Throttle](/sites/default/files/44.%20Throttle.jpg) Mounted aft of the dashboard is the engine controller binnacle and joystick controls. Mounted in the starboard bulwark are the air conditioner controls and a VHF radio remote. ![Helm bolster](/sites/default/files/45.%20Helm%20bolster_0.jpg) The helm and companion seats have detailed upholstery and fold-up bolsters for stand-up operating. Note the pantograph-style door next to the operator’s seat. ![Footrest](/sites/default/files/46.%20Footrest.jpg) Absolute built in a footrest at the base of the helm console for comfort during long distance cruising. ![Storage](/sites/default/files/47.%20Storage.jpg) The storage drawers built into the helm seat base demonstrate the commitment to quality on the Absolute 62 Fly with solid zebra wood inside and out. ![Windshield defrosters](/sites/default/files/48.%20Windshield%20defrosters.jpg) The windshield defroster vents are an appreciated detail on the Absolute 62 Fly. ![Operator view](/sites/default/files/49.%20Operator%20view.jpg) There is a 19” (48.26) vertical view through the windshield from the operator’s vantage at the lower helm of the Absolute 62 Fly.## **Side Decks** The side decks on the Absolute 62 Fly begin at 15” (38.1 cm) width with 32” (81.3 cm) high bulwarks. The width increases to 20” (50.8 cm) forward towards the forward seating. ![Teak side decks](/sites/default/files/50.%20Teak%20side%20decks.jpg) The teak decking continues forward to the 6” (15.24 cm) molded step at midship where molded in non-skid continues to the two 8” (20.32 cm) steps up to the forward seating area. The handrail, shown, is 36” (91.4 cm) above the deck. ![Boarding door](/sites/default/files/51.%20Boarding%20door.jpg) The Absolute 62 Fly has a pantograph style boarding door midships on both the port and starboard side decks. They are complete with heavy-duty stainless-steel hardware. ![Helm door](/sites/default/files/52.%20%20Helm%20door.jpg) There is a pantograph helm door forward on the Absolute 62 Fly’s side deck. This facilitates operating in close in situations with the engine controls immediately inside the door.## **Bow Area** Forward on the Absolute 62 Fly there is another al fresco social area that features bench seating forward of the windshield and a large sun pad that converts into three loungers with multi-position backrests. ![Bench seat](/sites/default/files/53.%20Bench%20seat.jpg) The bench seat at the base of the windshield is 7’5” (2.26 m) wide with stereo speakers built into each side the base riser. ![Pop up lights](/sites/default/files/54.%20Pop%20up%20lights.jpg) For improved nighttime ambiance, Absolute provided pop-up night lighting on both sides of the forward seating. ![Bow storage](/sites/default/files/55.%20bow%20storage.jpg) The storage on both sides of the forward bench seating has gas-assist struts for hands-free access. Mounted on toe rail the safety rails are 29” (73.7 cm) above the deck. ![](/sites/default/files/56.%20Bow%20sun%20pad.jpg) The sun pad forward of the bench seating is 6’6” (1.98 m) square. The three backrests are adjustable to four positions. Note the drink and incidental holders built into each side of the sun pad’s base.**Single Level Foredeck.** It is notable that the entire forward deck is on a single level. No steps, no tripping hazards, and the deck is entirely non-skid. Distinctively different than most yachts of this size and class. ![Bow anchor](/sites/default/files/57.%20Bow%20anchor_0.jpg) The Quick vertical windlass deploys and retrieves the chain rode. On each side of the bow roller are heavy-duty chocks and dual horn bollard cleats. ![Chain locker](/sites/default/files/58.%20Chain%20locker.jpg) The chain locker houses the windlass remote control and the backup manual windlass handle.## **Flybridge Deck** Access to the flybridge deck is via a stairway up from the aft deck. The flybridge deck on the Absolute 62 Fly is designed to be a highly social area with a dinette, bench seating, large sun pad and an upper aft deck of its own. ![Teak port steps](/sites/default/files/59.%20Teak%20port%20steps.jpg) The teak covered port side steps leading up to the Absolute 62 flybridge deck above.

Further aft is two shore power cord containers.## **Options to Consider** - The crew cabin can be optioned out for a tender garage - The sofa in the master stateroom can be optioned out for a wide walk-in closet ## **Warranty** See your Absolute dealer for warranty information. ## **Price** Price Range: $2,490,000 base. ## **Observations** The Absolute 62 Fly is a well-executed yacht with an open layout that invites crowds aboard. Huge side windows flood the main deck interior with natural light. Below, the large hull side windows do the same for the staterooms. Coupled with the generous headroom, the Absolute 62 Fly feels like a much larger yacht. The attention to detail is self-evident in the exacting joinery work. The Absolute 62 Fly is also a pleasure to operate. Whether entertaining at the dock or voyaging, the excellent quality of the build is ubiquitous. ezstandalone.cmd.push(function() { ezstandalone.showAds(104); }); - [Test Drive](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/95465) - [Trade-in Quote](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/95465) - [Dealer Contact](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/95465) - [Build A Boat](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/95465) - [Compare to other boats](/boats/compare/95465) --- ## Related Boats [ Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/ABSOLUTE%2064%20STY_2013_Running.jpg?itok=_JxDNH3M) ](/boats/absolute/64-sty-2013) [Motoryachts](/boats/motoryachts) ### [Absolute 64 STY (2013-)](/boats/absolute/64-sty-2013) Currently no test numbers [ Review with Captain's Report ![absolute_55sty_glass.jpg](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/images/photos/absolute_55sty_glass.jpg?itok=ZyYDccsw) ](/boats/absolute/55-fly-2013) [Motoryachts](/boats/motoryachts) ### [Absolute 55 Fly (2013-)](/boats/absolute/55-fly-2013) Currently no test results [ Review with Captain's Report ![absolute_55sty_cover.jpg](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/images/photos/absolute_55sty_cover.jpg?itok=Q4trnJcf) ](/boats/absolute/55-sty-2014) [Motoryachts](/boats/motoryachts) ### [Absolute 55 STY (2014-)](/boats/absolute/55-sty-2014) Currently no test numbers [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/absolute-yachts-58-fly.jpg?itok=pqZrPesX) ](/boats/absolute/58-fly-2018) [Motoryachts](/boats/motoryachts) ### [Absolute 58 Fly (2018-)](/boats/absolute/58-fly-2018) 2 x 600-hp D8 IPS 800 Absolute Motoryachts,
