Winning this year’s “Flybridges up to 60 Feet” at the 2025 Motor Boat Awards (considered to be the Oscars of the industry) at Boot, it’s safe to say that Absolute Yachts has designed a true winner. Surpassing other renowned industry names after exhaustive sea trials, this Italian flybridge proved that exceptional design and sustainable innovation are not only compatible but represent the future of yachting.
As one of the most respected awards in the industry, with every nominated yacht for the Motor Boat Awards undergoing thorough sea trials that evaluate performance, design, and overall quality, the Absolute 52 Fly thoroughly earned her recognition, providing a unique onboard experience that impressed the judging panel.
Redefining light & space onboard the Absolute 52 Fly
So what sets the Absolute 52 Fly apart? One of her most distinctive features lies in the designer’s approach to transparency and spatial design. Transparent transoms replace traditional fiberglass construction, filling the interior with natural light. Cutaway bulwarks with glass balustrades eliminate any visual barriers and create uninterrupted views, while huge staggered hull windows provide 360-degree views from the salon. The chopped transom design serves both visual and practical purposes, improving water access while creating smooth transitions between interior and exterior spaces. All of these design choices work together to establish an exceptional sense of openness and connection with the water that sets the Absolute 52 Fly apart from traditional flybridge designs.
Interior Excellence, with superyacht features in a refined package
Another aspect that makes the Absolute 52 Fly unique is her interior accommodations, which exceed typical expectations for yachts in this size range. The full-beam master stateroom features a marble bathroom that matches luxury hotel standards. Notably, this model includes a genuinely spacious pantry, uncommon in 52-foot yachts, which makes extended cruising practical rather than theoretical. Modular furniture and well-designed open deck spaces offer more flexibility, allowing owners to configure areas for entertaining, relaxation, or family activities. The judges captured this accomplishment simply: “In the context of its sector, it has pretty much no flaws.”
The MRH Innovation Award
Outside of the Absolute 52 Fly’s recognition earlier this year, the model also received the Marine Research Hub’s “Sustainable Company Projects – MRH Innovation & Sustainability Award” at the Fort Lauderford International Boat Show. The honor acknowledges the shipyard’s commitment to environmental responsibility without sacrificing performance or comfort. Some of Absolute Yachts’ sustainability options for its models include solar panels on hardtops and biminis, enabling quiet, emissions-free time at anchor without running generators. Electric windows facilitate natural ventilation, significantly reducing air conditioning energy use while improving comfort. Volvo Penta IPS engines deliver excellent maneuverability and fuel efficiency with reduced environmental impact. A more conscious mindset, this environmental focus extends overall operations to Absolute Yachts. The shipyard’s facility in Podenzano, Italy, runs on geothermal and solar power, demonstrating that yacht manufacturing and environmental stewardship can work together effectively.
The Absolute 52 Fly appeals to owners seeking independent industry validation of their investment. Ideal for those who value both exceptional design and environmental leadership, owners who understand that modern luxury and sustainability can coexist, the Absolute 52 Fly light-filled spaces and indoor-outdoor flow ensure she is suitable for entertaining, while her features and efficient design provide couples and families with superyacht amenities in a more practical, manageable package.
