What this builder is
Solaris Power is the motor side of the Aquileia sailing yard founded in 1974, 'for sailors only' as the site puts it: since 2008 the group has run a production unit for motor yachts from 44 to 100 feet, and this facility — a new plant in Forlì, the powerboat district — now builds the Solaris Power range. The boats descend from the yard's lobster-boat heritage (it was among the first in Europe to build one, Bruce King's 47-foot Express Cruiser) and from a long collaboration between Victory Design and Volvo Penta on hulls shaped for IPS azimuth pods, which the site credits with a dry deck through waves, stability at anchor without stabilisers, efficient cruising in displacement as well as planing mode, low fuel burn, joystick docking and quiet, vibration-free running. The range on the site is sixteen boats: Open 40, 40F Outboard, 44, 52 and 60; Open ST 44, 52 and 60 with full-height windshields; Coupé 48 (also as a Flybridge), 52 and 60; and the 64 and 70 Long Range and Grand Coupé — the 64s and the 70 Grand Coupé announced as coming soon. Every page prints one specification block: lengths, draft, light and load displacement, tanks, standard and optional engines with kW and hp, maximum and cruising speed per engine, cabins, bathrooms, certified persons and the designers.
Who sails them
Solaris Power owners are Mediterranean day-and-weekend cruisers who want a fast, seakindly hull with a walkaround deck, fold-out bulwarks and big sunbeds rather than a floating apartment — many of them, the yard says, sailors moving to power who still care how a boat sits in a seaway — and, at the top of the range, owners wanting a long-range 64 or 70 with crew cabin and CE A certification.
Signature models
The 48 Coupé, the award-winning lobster-style coupé that defined the brand; the 60 Open and 60 Open ST; the 44 Open, 'never before a 44 offered so much'; and the new 70 Long Range, a 21-metre displacement-capable cruiser on twin IPS 1200.
Strengths
Solaris Power is known for Victory Design hulls optimised for Volvo Penta IPS pods, for cruising efficiently in displacement as well as planing mode, for walkaround decks with fold-out bulwarks that enlarge the cockpit by a fifth, for the Solaris sailing yard's finish, and for a coherent range from a 40-foot outboard open to a 70-foot long-range coupé.
Considerations
Figures come from each model's own page: light displacement is stored (the 40 Open's petrol weight, its diesel weight noted), maximum speed is the highest printed with the largest engine option and cruising speed the lowest with the standard engine, both quoted verbatim. The 60 Coupé page prints its 18.30 m under 'water line length' with no LOA; it is read as LOA. The 48 Open page has no specification block and is not catalogued. Cabin counts leave the crew cabin out; 'max persons capacity' is the certified count, not berths.
