SOLARIS 48 OPEN

Performance is a highlight of the Solaris 48 Open, which is why the reliable and efficient Volvo Penta D6 or D8 IPS models were selected as options. These engines are known already for low vibrations and noise, perfect for a quiet day cruising or at anchor in the islands. Here are a few of the performance-related attributes on the Solaris 48 Open:

• Capability of cruising efficiently at low speed in displacement mode and at 30+ knots (most boats cannot do both)
• High performance and stability in choppy waters and higher-than-average waves
• Greater range and lower fuel consumption than other boats in its class
• Joystick handling for easy docking
• Less noise and vibrations due to engines choices and design of exhaust

As equally important as the performance of the Solaris 48 Open are the comfort features on board. from the walk-around style that has plenty of room to maneuver easily, the fine materials used throughout, and the thoughtful entertaining spaces, boating has never been more enjoyable. Here are a few of the comfort features you will find on the 48 Open:

• Fold-Out bulwarks that can be opened for a 20% larger cockpit space as well as pleasant views of the ocean
• The interior layout can include two cabins, two bathrooms, as well as a crew cabin with head.
• The engine room is spacious and well-ventilated with all major systems easy to reach
• The single mast factory hardtop is striking in appeal but also delivers shade
• Great head room in the forward master stateroom 

The Solaris 48 Open is just the latest creation with Norberto Ferretti behind it, a name that carries significant weight in the marine industry. As MotorBoat & Yachting Magazine asks about the 48 Open, could it be the prettiest boat since the Aquariva? The judges at the European Power Boat Awards seem to think so.
