Absolute 40 STL

Now available at Calico Marina, Lucia is a 2016 Absolute 40 STL measuring 11.90m overall with a generous 3.99m beam. Designed around a wide, open entertaining deck, she combines the space and accessibility of a large day boat with genuine overnight accommodation for up to four.

Her standout feature is the exterior layout. Oversized daybeds are positioned both forward and aft, while the spacious central cockpit provides plenty of room for guests to sit, move around and remain connected while underway or at anchor. The fixed hardtop provides welcome shade over the helm and central entertaining area without enclosing the boat or taking away from its open feel.

The helm is positioned beneath the fixed hardtop and provides excellent visibility across the open deck. Twin Volvo Penta D6-330 diesels deliver a combined 660hp, paired with Volvo Penta DuoProp drives, electronic steering and joystick control for straightforward low-speed handling and manoeuvring around the marina.

Moving aft, the cockpit wet bar incorporates a refrigerator and icemaker, keeping refreshments close to the main entertaining area. The large aft daybed sits above an electrically operated storage hatch, while the fixed swim platform, folding ladder and exterior shower make swimming and time at anchor easy. Forward, the substantial bow daybed creates a second dedicated relaxation area away from the cockpit.

Below deck, Lucia offers considerably more accommodation than her open exterior profile might suggest. The full-beam aft cabin provides a private double berth, while the forward dinette converts into a second double, allowing up to four people to stay aboard.

The lower galley includes a sink, two-burner electric cooktop, refrigerator and storage. An enclosed bathroom with an electric marine toilet and shower, together with air conditioning, hot water, a television and Fusion sound system, makes the boat well equipped for weekends away as well as extended days on the water.

Recent presentation upgrades include Flexiteek synthetic decking installed in 2026, refreshed exterior upholstery and new interior carpets. A substantial collection of maintenance invoices is available, documenting work including sterndrive servicing and antifoul completed in November 2025, steering-system component replacements, electric hatch actuator replacement and a hull clean completed in May 2026.

Lucia is an excellent option for buyers wanting a genuine entertainer’s layout, enormous exterior relaxation areas and strong twin-diesel performance without giving up comfortable accommodation below.

Located at Calico Marina, Cronulla, and available for inspection by appointment. A marina berth may also be available, subject to a separate agreement with Calico Marina.
