Trumpy

About this yacht

ABSOLUTE (Contract #440) is a rare and distinguished 62’ Trumpy, one of the final eight ever constructed. Commissioned in 1970 by Bayard Sharp of the DuPont family and originally named GALPO, she carries a storied lineage and an impeccable record of ownership. Now in the care of her sixth steward, she has recently completed a comprehensive 2025 refit that has restored her to near-original condition. Featuring a brand-new bottom, updated machinery, and fully modernized systems, ABSOLUTE is in exceptional structural, mechanical, and cosmetic condition. With two staterooms accommodating up to four guests, she offers timeless elegance with modern reliability—turnkey and ready for her next chapter. Easy to see in our tide-free, fresh water, covered showrooms at Atlantic Yacht Basin on the Intracoastal Waterway, just 12 miles south of Norfolk, VA.
