Italian shipyard Solaris introduced the new 44th model in Genoa in 2018.

Exterior and interior design…

One of the main premieres of the year, Solaris 44, has replaced the Solaris One 44. Although Javier Soto Acebal was responsible for both projects, the new model inherited almost nothing from its predecessor. On the contrary, if the 2011 model was a sports one, the Solaris 44 of 2018 is a racing cruiser in a new, more modern body. The waterline has become longer, width of 4.18 m is saved from a middel to the stern, there are two pens of the steering wheel, a jib and a bowsprit. Living spaces have changed less. The salon and cabins are minimalistic in decoration, but have everything you need. Optionally, a table can be added to the cockpit.

Amenities on board

Available in a single version with three cabins and two bathrooms. The shipyard offers no other placement options. The colour of the finish (oak or teak) is the only choice. The yacht has enough space and amenities for the owner, crew (table in the salon folding) or friends.

Features

As Javier Soto Asebal noted in one interview, his style is not immediately visible. The same is true of the Solaris 44. The absence of catchy chips and excessive amenities can disappoint the average person. But the quality of construction and running data will please the gambler with the experience of competition. The shipyard’s reputation also justifies the cost, which is slightly higher than the market price.

Swimming area

Certified in Category A, the Solaris 44 is still more suitable for coastal cruising, although the size of the fuel tank (220l for 40 hp engine) is slightly larger than that of competitors. The water reserve is also increased – 380 liters.
