New Captain's Report
Absolute Navetta 73:
Creative Layouts and Smart Design
The new Absolute Navetta 73 is a remarkably different motoryacht that maximizes living and entertaining spaces on all of its decks like no other boat we have seen before in her class. She has a formal dining area inside, and three more informal ones outside. She has what amounts to two master staterooms, plus two guest staterooms -- all en suite. And she is the first yacht powered by the Volvo Penta 1000-hp IPS pod/joystick system.

Some varieties can cost $100 per dozen on tournament days, but that’s because live bait is pure gold when it comes to catching marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, dolphin (mahi), and other bluewater species in many parts of the world. Here’s what you need to know.
