Solaris Yachts

Our agency originally started as Solaris Yachts UK, a joint venture between Richard Baldwin and Berthon International. Richard has been selling Solaris Yachts for years and he and Berthon have worked together for many more in the general yacht market. Our reach has since expanded into other areas with the addition of Berthon Scandinavia and Berthon USA as Solaris Yachts sales agents.

Solaris Yachts began constructing yachts in 1974 and the yard has a great history of both building and refitting custom yachts. Today Solaris builds a world class range of performance cruising yachts from 40 feet to 112 feet, all of which are designed by Javier Soto Acebal and the Solaris in house design team. In addition to their high quality class yachts, they also have an active custom division.

With their distinctive Italian good looks, sparkling sailing and light, airy interiors, they offer effortless performance with an easily managed sail plan and a very high degree of creature comfort below decks. Very much a sailor’s yacht, they can achieve fast passage times without the need for large crews and with their striking lines cutting a dash in any anchorage.

Key to Solaris Yachts is their uncompromising approach to strong and stiff construction, a trademark of this is the 40mm main bulkhead, which is fully laminated to both the hull and the deck, as are all partial bulkheads and joinery. This provides a strong and stable monolithic structure. The craftsmen at Solaris adopt a thoughtful approach to all aspects of the yacht’s build, from keel attachment to chain plates to the faultless interior joinery. The quality of build is evident throughout.
