Solaris Solaris 55
About this yacht
The Solaris 55 represents half a century of Italian yacht-building expertise distilled into a 16.70-meter bluewater cruiser that excels equally on ocean passages and coastal day sails. In production since 2017, this performance cruiser carries CE Category A certification for offshore voyaging, combining the seakeeping ability of a circumnavigator with the refined handling of a sophisticated daysailer. Naval architect Javier Soto Acebal crafted a modern hull form featuring subtle bow chines that transition to a rounded stern, ensuring balanced trim across all points of sail. The 5.00-meter beam provides exceptional stability, while the 3.00-meter draft delivers the directional authority bluewater sailors demand. Every component aboard this sailing yacht has been selected from leading marine suppliers and integrated through meticulous engineering by the Solaris technical team. On deck, the Solaris 55 demonstrates thoughtful ergonomics throughout. Twin full-width helm stations offer commanding visibility whether navigating harbor approaches or trimming sails offshore. The spacious Mediterranean cockpit features dual tables with a central passage leading to the companionway, where innovative windows flood the interior with natural light. An opening transom provides dedicated dinghy storage in a longitudinal configuration, while molded hull steps offer seamless access to the bathing platform. Structural integrity follows Solaris tradition: three composite bulkheads are laminated and bonded directly to both hull and deck, creating a unified monocoque. The lead bulb keel mounts via a robust coupling flange, blending modern composite construction with proven traditional methods. Below deck, perfect symmetry defines the layout. The forward owner's suite offers configuration flexibility with either centerline or offset berth arrangements, complemented by a full bathroom with separate shower. The saloon can be outfitted with either a sofa or twin armchairs, while the port-side L-shaped galley adapts to individual preferences with comprehensive equipment options. Two aft cabins each feature private bathrooms with dedicated shower compartments. The sail locker converts to crew quarters with integrated facilities when required. Interior design by Adi Design emphasizes light distribution and spatial balance throughout, creating an environment that serves equally well for extended cruising or entertaining guests during coastal sailing. The Solaris 55 accommodates up to 10 guests in three cabins, offering the comfort and capability that serious cruising sailors expect from a premium sailboat. This cruising sailboat delivers the offshore credentials of a passage-maker with the responsiveness and refinement that make every sail memorable, whether crossing oceans or exploring anchorages closer to home.
