2014 Absolute 56' ABSOLUTELY

Entering the boat from the hydraulic Teak swim platform, the starboard side leads up two steps to the cockpit of the boat; whereas the port side watertight hatch leads to the captains quarters (the fourth stateroom), which includes a single bunk, sink and head.

Cockpit:

The cockpit of the boat has been designed to maximize outdoor living. An oversized L-Shaped settee combined with the sun pad surrounds an expandable table, allowing for guests to relax in the sun. Or if shade is preferred, an electric sunshade can be extended from the awning, covering the seating area. A wet bar, ice maker, and grill are located on the starboard side for ease of entertaining.

Salon:

When the salon doors, sunroof, and side windows are opened, this yacht does an excellent job of integrating the outdoors and interior. The salon doors slide far enough back to allow easy access between the cockpit and interior area, giving this space the feel of a much larger yacht. Lots of natural light flow through the surrounding windows. The aft port side galley allows easy access from either the cockpit or salon area and is equipped with every appliance needed: built in upright refrigerator, freezer, microwave, 2 burner glass cooktop, Miele convection oven, stainless sink and wine cooler. Throughout the salon, there is integrated storage for all dishware and cutlery as well. Opposite the galley is a lounge area with C-Shaped seating.

Forward and up one step, is another separate, yet integrated area with a dinette, loveseat, and helm. The portside U-Shaped dinette surrounds a fold out table which has cabinetries for all the glassware in the base. Opposite, a loveseat is behind the starboard side helm station, with slide out drawers for dishware. A TV lifts from the back of the loveseat and a Bose surround system completes the entertainment area. Windows on either side open electrically, with the starboard side being large enough to climb through and use as access the side decks.

The helm area is styled with a combination of brown suede, black leatherette, and faux carbon fiber panels. Piloting the boat can be done with either the throttles or the joystick for ease of use. Twin Raymarine HybridTouch screens, autopilot, trim tabs, and all controls/switches are well laid out and labeled.

The breaker panels for both AC and DC systems are located at the starboard top of the forward companionway, just under the helm area.

The 3/2 accommodations are accessed by a 6-step companionway. At the base, access to the shared day head is to port, VIP forward, 3rd stateroom to starboard, and master is aft.

The full beam master is incredibly spacious and very well appointed. Featuring a centerline walk-around queen bed, three cushion settee across the port side, cabinetry along the starboard, twin closets and a vanity. The en-suite bath features a standup shower (rain shower wand and bench seat), separate head, and vanity with storage.

The large VIP guest stateroom with another queen berth is forward and features large hull side windows, hanging closets, and a private entrance to shared day head.

The starboard guest cabin features side-by-side twin berths, port lights, hanging locker and a TV. 

Depending on whether the boat is captained by an owner/operator or crewed with a captain, there is an additional stateroom located off the swim platform of the boat. A twin bunk, head, and large transom window make a comfortable quarter for guests or crew.

Throughout the boat, the design, layout, and choices of materials give the feel of a very sophisticated yet comfortable yacht, capable of extended cruises for up to 7 guests!

Bow:

The bow area can be accessed from either side of the cockpit, through the starboard side is direct without having to climb over seating. The walkways are wide enough for comfort and feature railings all the way around the boat, as well as additional grab bars above the windows. On the bow, four independent adjustable loungers provide guest the ability to enjoy the outdoors.

Engine and Mechanical Room:

The engine room is accessed from cockpit deck hatch on struts, located in front of the salon sliders, and down a ladder. Engine room is clean, neatly arranged and labeled for easier maintenance. The boat is powered by twin Volvo D11 (625 hp) with IPS drives and just under 690 hours at the time of listing. Also, there is a transferable warranty on the motors expiring 6/14/2024. A Koehler 20kw single genset powers the rest of the boat.
