A must visit! Absolute 45 with extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, fresh to the market!
Overview
This 2006 Absolute 45 represents a very well presented and comprehensively maintained example of this highly regarded Italian sports cruiser model currently available on the market.
Over the past three years the current owner has taken a meticulous and proactive approach to ownership, investing significantly in both the mechanical integrity and cosmetic presentation of the yacht to ensure she remains in operational and aesthetic condition.
Recent upgrades include addition of Humphreys Interceptor stabilisation system, new interior upholstery throughout, new saloon carpeting, new exterior sun cushions, upgraded Raymarine navigation electronics, and the installation of a Dockmate remote docking system.
The yacht retains a commercial charter licence and has a proven track record of occasional charter use, offering buyers the flexibility to enjoy private cruising while also having the option to generate revenue.
Exterior
The spacious cockpit features comfortable seating, a cockpit table, and easy access to the swim platform, creating an ideal area for outdoor dining and relaxing at anchor. Wide side decks lead forward to a generous foredeck sunbathing area, recently updated with new sun cushions, providing a perfect space to enjoy the Mediterranean climate.
The helm station and seating area offer excellent visibility and a relaxed social environment while underway or at anchor. The addition of the Dockmate remote docking system further enhances handling, allowing the skipper to manoeuvre the yacht with confidence.
The yacht has also benefited from recent antifouling and exterior cosmetic refreshment, ensuring she presents extremely well for her age.
Interior
The interior of the Absolute 45 offers impressive volume and comfort for a 45 foot yacht.
The saloon is bright and welcoming, featuring comfortable seating and a dining area, complemented by new carpeting and updated upholstery throughout, which give the interior a fresh and contemporary feel.
Accommodation is arranged across two well-appointed cabins which could both act as an owners suite. Full-beam cabin amidships with en-suite bathroom and a Forward VIP guest cabin with access to a second bathroom.
Performance & Tech
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 engines (350 HP each) with 1,656 hours, this Absolute 45 has been meticulously maintained, including a full engine rebuild at 1,100 hours and recent lifting of engines and generator for complete reconditioning. The 2025 epoxy anti osmosis treatment and fresh antifouling ensure long-term reliability.
The helm features an upgraded Raymarine navigation suite with chartplotter, radar, autopilot, log, and depth sounder, complemented by the Volvo Penta engine computer and Dockmate remote docking system for effortless manoeuvring. Onboard WiFi adds modern connectivity, making this yacht ready for both private cruising and commercial charter.
