Another new addition to the stunning Absolute fleet, the new 40 oozes style and is a winning boat in its class offering a lot for the size dimension on offer. The new 40 takes a lot from its bigger sisters in the Absolute fleet, not only in the style, but also in the confidence of its design and its practicality. Apart the stylish hard top which is becoming more and more an inevitable accessory, the 40 has also a stunning interior with a 2 cabin, 2 head layout. The second head usually is a rare to find solution in boats of 12 metres in length, and the 40 has a twin en-suite solution for the master cabin forward and the double guest cabin mid ship. The outside area is also full of entertainment areas, with a c-shaped settee seating 6 in absolute comfort, a sunpad of which underneath lies the tender garage and also an extended bathing platform. Worth to note is that the bathing platform is bigger to the normal standards for boats usually housing a tender garage. The 40 is an impressive sport cruiser and will surely win a big market share in its size and type, it is so good that I think it will also steal customers from the bigger Absolute 43 model.

Very nice large speed/spoots boat for day cruising in med. Accomodation sparse for 40ft and cruising longer than a weekend!
