On Deck

Nick appreciates the yacht's practical features such as its power steps, which can either serve as steps up to the key or steps down into the water. He also points out the outdrives which give the yacht a sporty performance and sharp handling.

Nick is impressed by the yacht's large sunbathing area, which can be extended even further by adjusting the backrest of the seating area. He also appreciates the shade that can be extended from the hard top, providing cover on hot days. Nick is also fond of the yacht's bar area, complete with a sink, barbecue, and multiple fridges, as well as storage spaces for glasses and other items.

The Solaris 40 Open's helm seats, drop bolsters, and joystick control of the outdrives earn praise from Nick, who also appreciates the multifunction displays and neatly incorporated switchgear. He compliments the yacht's fast speed and the grab handle near the steering wheel, which he deems a nice touch for a fast boat.

Interior

The yacht's interior is open plan, which Nick suggests is ideal for a nap in the afternoon or a weekend getaway, rather than serious cruising. He highlights the yacht's switchgear, which can operate things like the battery, as well as the circuit breakers for instruments, windlass, horn, and more. Nick also points out the vessel's ample storage and sleeping arrangements, including a big double bed and two beds in a separate cabin, which he thinks would be great for kids.

Performance

According to Nick, the yacht's engine space is reasonably sized and houses a pair of Volvo Penta D6 440 horsepower engines. These engines, he states, can push the yacht to speeds of around 41 knots, with a typical cruising speed of 25 to 30 knots and a range of around 300 miles. The engine space also houses the fuel filters, the fuel tank, and a generator.

In Summary

Concluding his tour, Nick expresses his admiration for the Solaris 40 Open yacht, describing it as a "really, really pretty boat".
