Priorities for power yacht buyers are changing. As the average age of a yacht buyer continues to decline, research by Italian yacht builder Rossinavi in collaboration with the University of Monaco indicates that millennials will become the leading yacht-owning group in the coming decade. As a result, expectations around what a yacht should offer are evolving. For example, while performance, speed, and visual impact once dominated the conversation, many new and experienced buyers are looking for something more enduring. With growing interest in indoor-outdoor living, large, open, informal social spaces, and environmentally responsible technology, it’s up to shipyards to meet the demands of the evolving concept of onboard lifestyle. And Solaris Yachts for sale are up to the task.
A name that has been synonymous with quality, seaworthiness, and elegance since 1974, the shipyard is rooted in Italian craftsmanship, as it was founded in Aquileia over 50 years ago. Favoured among German, Swiss, and Austrian buyers from the start, the shipyard’s philosophy revolves around designing and constructing solid, durable, and secure yachts that are able to go bow to bow with Scandinavian and Dutch yacht builders. Rather than chasing trends, the shipyard has consistently focused on fine-tuning its design proportion, functionality, and build quality. Naturally, when Solaris Yachts expanded its offering from sailing yachts into power yachts, it did not abandon this philosophy. Instead, the shipyard translated decades of seagoing experience into four series of power yachts, each designed for owners who value how a yacht feels as much as how it looks.
Sea performance and stability remain a high priority for Solaris Yachts, and this is evident across its power yacht range. For example, the 48 Open features a flared bow intended to soften wave impact and help keep decks dry. Winner of the 2020 European Power Boat of the Year Award (up to 20m category), the hull form of this model was specifically designed to provide stability at speed and at anchor without stabilizers. Marketed by Solaris Yachts as the ‘only open power boat with a true walkaround deck,’ the shipyard notes that the 48 Open also offers the same cabin space on the lower deck as a conventional cabin cruiser. In addition, the 48 Open also features an integration engine system that reduces CO2 emissions and offers low noise levels, with zero vibrations, decreasing its overall environmental impact.
Looking beyond hull and deck design, Solaris Yachts combines performance with practical comfort amenities that support real usage, core aspects of the brand DNA. The 48 Open features fold-out bulwarks by the cockpit, a wide tender garage and stowage facility, and a spacious, well-ventilated engine room designed for easier access to key systems. The walkaround side decks, paired with the fold-out bulwarks, increase the cockpit surface by 20 percent, adding more space for owners and guests to enjoy when anchored. Similar design priorities can be seen in other models across the range. For example, the 44 Open is promoted around maximizing usable living area, with fold-out bulwarks highlighted as part of the onboard comfort package, while the 44 Open ST and 60 Open ST introduce a full-height windshield and extended carbon top structures to increase shelter from wind and sun without sacrificing the open plan layout.
