With an elongated, muscular prow and streamlined, sinewy profile that gently curves all the way to the wide swimstep, the new Solaris 60 Open is built for speed and designed for luxurious day cruising, with numerous gathering spaces on the expandable main deck. Its two standard Volvo Penta D6 IPS diesel engines produce a combined 1,600 hp, giving the 60 Open a 25-knot cruising speed and 30 knots in a sprint. Two other options include larger D6 IPS 950 or D13 IPS 1350 engines, bringing the horsepower up to 2,000 and the top speed as high as 39 knots.
As the name implies, the 60 Open provides unobstructed, 360-degree views from the open-air main deck, which is partially covered by a hardtop. Walkaround side decks, lined with teak, allow for easy access to the expansive fore and aft cushioned sunpads for unlimited sun worship. The aft sunpad in the teak cockpit sits atop a prominent garage for an RIB dinghy.
The primary midship gathering space is most notable for its fold-down hydraulic gunwales on each side, providing extra room for large gatherings around the dining area. Two long tables sit parallel along the cockpit centerline for alfresco dining for up to 12 people and are flanked by cushioned outdoor bench seating on both sides. Another forward-facing bench on the transom sits just ahead of the RIB garage. A few steps forward of the dining space is the open-format galley, equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, stovetop, and microwave oven. A large outdoor pop-up TV is also adjacent to the dining area, adding another entertainment option for the entire main deck.
The helm, forward of the galley, bristles with the latest navigational equipment, such as a depth-sounder, radar, log-speedometer, wind speed and direction indicators, computer, autopilot, compass, GPS, VHF, and bow and stern thruster controls. To ensure a smooth ride on choppy seas, the 60 Open also has a Seakeeper stabilization system.
The spacious cabins belowdecks are highly customizable and can be configured into a three-stateroom layout or two staterooms and an extra lounge area, with an L-shaped couch and a microwave oven to prepare small interior meals. One option includes a midship owner’s cabin abeam with an en suite head, a forward VIP cabin at the bow, and a guest cabin with two twin-size berths, sharing a day head.
The 60 Open is available now at SeaNet Yachts, but the Solaris 60 Coupe version will be arriving in the Northwest in a matter of months. While it has many of the same dimensions and characteristics of the 60 Open, the Coupe will feature an enclosed salon and aft-located galley, with a plush, L-shaped sofa in place of the long dining tables on the 60 Open. Aft of the glass doors in the salon, the cockpit will have a square table for alfresco dining. The hardtop roof will also cover a longer area and contain a sunroof above the helm bench seat.
