2026 Absolute 48 Coupe

The Absolute 48 Coupe is a 48-foot fiberglass motor yacht built with twin Volvo Penta D6 IPS650 diesel engines rated at 960 horsepower total. The boat cruises at 14 knots with a maximum speed of 29 knots and features trim tabs for stability. Its contemporary design emphasizes clean lines and expansive glazing, with a spacious cockpit that opens to the salon and functions as a social hub. Wide side decks, high bulwarks, and well-positioned handrails provide confident deck movement, while a bow lounge offers forward sunbathing space.

The interior accommodates three cabins and two heads across a thoughtfully planned layout. The amidships master stateroom spans the full beam with large windows, generous headroom, ample storage, and a private en-suite head with separate shower. A forward VIP cabin features a spacious berth and natural light with direct access to the day head, while a guest cabin with twin berths provides flexibility. The salon and galley occupy the upper deck with modern finishes and practical galley positioning for service ease.

The helm station is ergonomically arranged with excellent sightlines and intuitive controls. The Volvo IPS pod drive system provides smooth, efficient performance with reduced noise and vibration, joystick control for simplified docking, improved fuel efficiency, enhanced stability, and responsive handling.

This example carries an extensive specification package including a proportional bow thruster with brushless motor, gyroscopic stabilizer with Seakeeper 6, dual 16-inch GPS chartplotters, Volvo autopilot and joystick steering interface, Raymarine DockSense with four cameras, AIS Class B transceiver, and radar. Additional features include a retractable electric sunshade, hydraulic swim platform with teak and ladder, teak side walkways and bow deck, mooring winches, washer-dryer combo in the VIP cabin, dishwasher, upgraded fridge-freezer column, wine cooler, 3000-watt inverter, additional solar panels, and multiple interior lighting systems.
