Solaris 44

Italian shipyard Solaris presented its new 44th model in Genoa in 2018.

Exterior and interior design.

One of the main premieres of the year, the Solaris 44, has changed in its model rangeSolaris One 44. Although both projects were the responsibility of Javier Soto Acebal, the new model has inherited almost nothing from its predecessor. On the contrary, while the 2011 model was a sports one, the 2018 Solaris 44 is already 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

There is a single version available with three cabins and two bathrooms. The shipyard offers no other placement options. The colour of the finishes (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. That's also true of 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 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 the competitors. The water reserve is also increased - 380 liters.
