Love the layout on the side as you progress! Excellent review and tour. Your opinion and critique of the boats makes the difference between truth and salesmanship! Keep it up!
Well done as usual Jack. I love these boats. Perfect size for a family for a weekend or even a week or more. Not a.. the outrageous styling that Azimut has, but just as nice and in my opinion, better looking. Of course, Riviera, Galeon and Sirena will always be my favorites in this area, but Absolute makes a fabulous yacht that is hard to beat.
This is a nice and interesting design. I like how the antennas are all above the hardtop rather than the radar beaming into the back of everyone's heads on the fly bridge. But 1.5 kW solar will not run any kitchen appliances except the fridge or wine cooler once they've cooled down...and that's only between 11am and 1pm local. No A/C, like you said, Jack. And depending on what marine electronics you want to use, you'd probably have to budget what else you want at the same time. Really, a good primary genset, with a smaller one for night use would be a better choice. BTW, this is better than many earlier YachtBuyer vids that overused floating cam shots and cut scenes that really confused the layout of the yacht being toured. A yacht tour should be a tour; not like flipping the pages of a catalog.
Thank you for bringing the attentions to the details of the boat. The wood covering the drawstrings in the mater cabin is awesome. A sign of thoughtful aesthetic design.
Thank you for this excellent walkaround. Clearly most intelligent boat in the market, better use of outside space than Princess F55 with keen interior attention to detail and luxury fit and finish. Jack, Do you really thinck this 56 Fly is confortable crossing the 550 nautical miles of the Med at a leisurely 10 Knots speed in the right weather conditions ?😇
@@Yachtbuyer May be Absolute by adopting this new aft cockpit look and the modular furniture concept is challenging the competition to change , yet the Princess F55 interior is a class on its own that is still flying above the all. Just one need to remember the advantage of shaft line drive and place two elegant chairs in the aft cockpit of the Princess and the story remain unchanged. Rock solid package and timeless, elegant line yacht for Princess
@@Yachtbuyer i would pick galeon 500 560 for efficient layout or sunseeker superhawk55 for very sleek design. Azimut's Name value is strongest in yacht industey though
I like the way that you show the plan of the boat as you move around, plus I like the stats, it would be nice to leave the plan, just a bit longer, and to end the review with the stats, including price, sorry, I’m just being a bit picky great review, thank you.
This may be a small point, but the ability to use the toilet and shower in the crew cabin, from the “beach area” is very useful and probably great for long term condition of the boats interior. Stops people padding through the boat all wet and with kids mucky hands as they use the day heads. Great review. B reel really works. Would be great to edit in b reel from the rest of the range as per my comment below.
Hi Jack another great video but could you when doing tours do comparisons between other boats ? This might not be as good as say a Princess or Fairline but may be x amount cheaper ? Would be good to know what you think in regards to build quality , fixtures and prices etc . Everyone would like the best quality boat but price may dictate you buy some else . Hope you get my drift and keep up the great work , D
Hi Daz, thanks for the feedback. I tend to reserve that type of comparison to our in-depth sea trial reviews. At a show I am often seeing a boat for the first time and it’s too quick to come to concrete conclusions and fairly compare one boat to another. On a sea trial I feel better placed to make these comparisons and we have many videos of this type on the channel. We also go into more depth on the website, yachtbuyer.com, (though not on this model yet) so be sure to check that out. Cheers - Jack
Great informative and well done video review again. We have watched your review on the Galeon 560 Fly as well, we are trying to decide on buying either this Absolute 560 Fly or the Galeon 560 Fly, please tell me your choice. Thank you.
anothe great design from absolute and another great review. thanks, jack. have to say that the clear rear bulkhead/door into the crew space does not present as very sturdy. i would feel a bit worried about it.
Absolute makes very smart layouts. The build quality seems as well very good as you do not hear any crackling of the floor or stairs walking on them. The missing deep V hull might be not so easy to drive I have heard? Can you explain your experience compared to other hull designs?
I have always found Absolute’s hull perfectly capable in a seaway. The thing to consider is that they are IPS only and generally set up to top out at 28 knots and cruise at 22 - Jack
Great review! Just 1 question: besides 200,000 bucks, what are the differences between this and the 52? Genuinely can't tell besides 4 feet of LOA somewhere and a bucket of money.
Quite a lot of that is answered in the written review, specifically in the Rivals section at the bottom: www.yachtbuyer.com/en-gb/reviews/absolute-52-fly-2022
It’s really useful to point out how the boat sits in the range. 200k for the 56 giving a bit more space and another bathroom over the 52 is probably worth having to many. Would be great if you could show B reel footage of the 52 and 60 whilst you are giving the tour. No other channel does that - but it would be super useful
I'm noticing a trend in your 'sock-wear'. Personally, I'm most fond of the ones in the new 52 fly review. Has anyone else noticed this? And personally, I challenge our dear friend here to push the limits of common sense going forward - whether it was his intent or not LOL
@YachtBuyer wow! Onwards and upwards Jack good luck with your new career, maybe one day I will finally get to see you trial the Botnia Targa 46 that you did a tour of in lockdown for MBY?
Goodness...The VIP bathroom was the deal breaker. Bathroom space is a private space. Shower,sink and toilet is always one room. I would not want to see any bathroom mess on the sink when in bed. I think this yacht tried to make itself bigger then it is. I would have to pass on this one. Thank you for showing this yacht Mr Jack. Love your channel!!
These reviews are excellent - perfect length and pacing. And a huge thumbs up for ditching the background music - so much better! 😊
Our pleasure, David, glad you like them!
I want to know how that guy looked at the Lego picture of this boat yesterday and knew what it was 🤔 😂 job done, Jack!! 👍
Love the layout on the side as you progress! Excellent review and tour. Your opinion and critique of the boats makes the difference between truth and salesmanship! Keep it up!
We will!

Absolute build some great boats its a shame they have no representation in the UK.Innovative and well finished
Thank you for bringing the attentions to the details of the boat. The wood covering the drawstrings in the mater cabin is awesome. A sign of thoughtful aesthetic design.
Our pleasure! They really went the extra mile 👏
Used to love Galeon boats.... Absolute Navettas have taken over as my euromillions lottery win choice!
Hopefully you'd win enough to have 1 of each? 😅
Great review with Jack. Video has much more of a professional show feel compared to the handheld walkarounds with phones or a GoPro.
Thanks Allan, appreciate that - Jack
Love these new Absolute boats 👍🏻
Thank you for this excellent walkaround.

Jack, Do you really thinck this 56 Fly is confortable crossing the 550 nautical miles of the Med at a leisurely 10 Knots speed in the right weather conditions ?😇
Yes, it would be. You’d probably want the (optional) stabiliser if that type of journey is going to happen regularly, though - Jack

Azimut fly 53
Ferretti 580
Sunseeker superhawk 55
Galeon 500 560
Absolute 52 56 60 fly
So many competitors in this class
1.4mil~1.6mil euro range
Which would you choose?

This is a lot of boat for the money, I agree a great great boat
Great vid of one of my favourite boats, thanks Jack.
My pleasure, Keith! - Jack

Thanks Jack keep up the great work sir , if you get time id like to see a few trawlers. under 70.
Just BEAUTIFUL !!! Who wants to buy me one ???? xoxoxo
lots of space in 55 feet. Not my taste, but I can appreciate what the boat offers. Nice review!

@@Yachtbuyer thanks for the reply Jack and totally understand , looking forward to more sea trials 🚤🚤
Another wonderful video!
Jack would you please include the CE rating on your channel's reviews?
I certainly would appreciate it sir.

Wouldn't the unbolted furniture float away in a bad storm?

One can shower… while other can let the dragons out in wc 😂 Really like this layout. Master bed layout l hate.
I want to buy this boat

Does this mean that we've lost you from MBY jack or are you still on their books also?
Yes John, this is my new home 👍 - Jack

You will, very soon 😉. Thanks for the kind words - Jack
