Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement w/ bulbous bow steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 21.55m beam and a 6.8m draft. The yacht is built over 8 decks with an internal volume of 11,247 GT (Gross Tonnes). The design also incorporates a heli-pad.
Construction started in late 2015 with the keel laid under the project name 'Solaris'. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in February 2021 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in May 2021.
Exterior Design
The yacht's design prioritizes a dynamic forward balance, achieved through a top-heavy structure. Embracing soft curves over harsh angles and clutter, the profile is clean and elegant. Flush integration of glazing with the superstructure enhances the sleek aesthetic, resulting in over 21,500 square feet of glass surfaces—a record-setting feature in yacht construction. A distinctive arch, extending from the midsection bulwarks, adds a unique silhouette to the yacht's design.
Notable shell openings along the hull include a drop-down balcony for the beach club, followed by the gymnasium and spa area. Amidships, a large lifting shell door facilitates tender launching, with further guest balconies are located forward.
At the stern, an angled transom leads to a spacious fixed bathing platform, featuring a central stairway to the water's edge. The expansive beach club is unveiled when the large transom door rises. Split-level twin stairways ascend to the main deck aft—an extraordinary open guest space. A smaller arch, reminiscent of the commanding arch over the yacht's top, provides a band of shade over the glass-floored pool. The pool's glass bottom allows natural light to filter through to the beach club below. Surrounding the pool are extensive banks of sun pads, complemented by twin circular jacuzzi tubs and a U-shaped bar on the aft deck area.
At the rounded bow, dedicated space is allocated for anchoring and mooring operations, along with storage for personal watercraft, equipped with launching cranes. Additionally, guest space is available in this area, accessible via twin stairways set at a 90-degree angle to the yacht's line. These stairways lead to wide decks with protruding side balconies before extending to the aft decks. The reverse angle of the glazing on this deck contrasts with that of the higher deck level glazing, adding visual interest to the design.
Interior Design
Due to the owner's privacy and the exclusive nature of the yacht, interior photographs are not available to the public, and renders are also not accessible. However, it is speculated that Australian designer Marc Newson, who designed the exterior, may have also influenced or directly contributed to the yacht's interior design.
Accommodation
The superyacht Solaris offers accommodation for up to 36 guests across 18 staterooms. Additionally, it provides accommodation for 60 crew members to ensure full guest service.
Performance & Capabilities
Solaris is propelled by eight MTU engines, collectively generating a power output surpassing 14MW, facilitating speeds exceeding 18 knots. Additionally, equipped with the twin ABB Azipod system boasting a combined output of 9MW, Solaris features the most potent electric drive system ever installed in a private yacht at the time of her build.
Amenities
The yacht features a well-equipped gym, allowing her guests to keep up their fitness regimes at sea. Ensuring everyone on board can enjoy the water to the fullest, luxury yacht Solaris offers a large beach club connected to a swim platform, with plenty of space for lounging and soaking up the sea views. The yacht can house plenty of nautical toys and accessories, with a well-appointed tender garage for storing her impressive locker. Air conditioning offers increased on-board comfort, while underwater lights create a dazzling light display when the sun goes down and an elevator makes the yacht fully-accessible. Crowning the yacht is a spacious sundeck with an inviting spread of sunpads and deck jacuzzi which provides excellent views.
