Navetta 58 Andromeda: Volvo Penta IPS, Squircular Windows and Step-Free Salon

The Navetta 58 Andromeda expresses the Absolute design language through measured proportions and functional detailing. Named after a legend, the model positions itself as a compact displacement yacht that balances seagoing capability with residential comfort, offering owners a clear identity at the dock and under way.

Form and function are treated as complementary. Exterior lines provide varied sightlines and usable exterior volumes, while interior arrangements prioritize privacy, circulation and systems integration so the yacht performs efficiently in routine cruising and extended stays aboard.

Exterior innovation: Squircular windows and glazed gunwales

Absolute has introduced several distinctive exterior elements on the Navetta 58, including large forward windows with a “squircular” profile that increase natural light and forward visibility. Glazed cockpit gunwales maintain sightlines to the sea while preserving safety, and open stern bulwarks simplify water access for boarding and leisure activities.

The cockpit is fully shaded by the flybridge and designed for flexibility, accommodating modular seating. The swim platform can be specified as a fixed unit or fitted with an integrated automatic staircase. The flybridge itself is step-free, offers a customizable aft terrace, an L-shaped sofa with a sliding table, and a wet bar with BBQ, fridge and icemaker; a large hardtop—available with an opening section or solar panels—provides shelter and supports a soft lighting scheme for evening use.

Interiors: Step-free salon, cabins and tailored comfort

Interior volumes emphasize uninterrupted movement and customization. The step-free salon can be fitted with a foldaway dining table or an electric six-seat option, or reconfigured with storage units, a glassware cabinet or a lounge area with armchairs and a coffee table. Materials and detailing follow Absolute’s approach of soft lines and the absence of sharp edges to improve safety and create a calm onboard environment.

Accommodation is arranged for both privacy and flexibility. The raised helm station uses two modern high-tech seats and delivers good visibility. The forward master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and configurable furnishings; the amidships VIP cabin provides an en-suite bathroom and extensive glazing; the guest cabin offers two single berths that convert electrically into a double. Environmental comfort is supported by ambient lighting, efficient air conditioning and designed natural ventilation.

Performance and specs: Volvo IPS, ranges and capacities

Propulsion is provided by twin Volvo Penta IPS D11 units (D11 IPS 950), each rated at 533 kW. The IPS installation reduces noise and vibration compared with conventional shaft drives, improves maneuverability through thrust-vectoring pod drives, and delivers better fuel efficiency—factors that contribute to steadier, more comfortable cruising and easier close-quarters handling.

Key specifications and capacities are:

• LOA (Length Overall): 17.49 m
• Beam: 5.16 m
• Freshwater capacity (including boiler): 730 L
• Fuel capacity: 2,800 L
• Maximum persons onboard: 14
• Category: B
• Engines: 2 × Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 (2 × 533 kW)

Together these attributes position the Navetta 58 Andromeda as a practical choice for owners who seek refined onboard living, simplified handling and efficient long-range cruising capability. For prospective buyers, next steps are to review available layout options, propulsion and visit a dealer for a sea trial to confirm fit with intended use.
