What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for relaxed cruising The Absolute 47 Fly suits couples and small families who want comfort without the complexity of sailing, this is pure motoring ease with a flybridge for great sightseeing. At 14.6 metres, she's nimble enough to explore shallow anchorages while spacious enough for three cabins and six berths, so you won't feel cramped.
Standout comfort features The flybridge is genuinely lovely for cruising in good weather, and the full air conditioning, ice maker, and modern galley kit mean you're not roughing it. Bow thruster and autopilot take the hard work out of boat handling, even for less experienced skippers.
Solid value proposition A 2020 Absolute is well-maintained, modern, and frankly more forgiving to operate than many charter yachts. For a three-cabin motoryacht at this size with these creature comforts, the pricing sits in the sensible middle ground, you're paying for reliability and ease, not flashy extras.
One realistic note Motoryachts drink fuel, so budget accordingly if you're planning lengthy daily runs; anchor time is cheaper than engine hours. Also, we'd need to know the charter base location to advise on airport transfers and logistics from your international gateway.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
