The Solaris Power 60 Open stands as a stunning testament to the perfect synergy of classic boating aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering. Born from the minds of the renowned Brunello Acampora of Victory Design and the skilled team at Solaris Power, this vessel redefines the open boat category. Solaris, with a rich history rooted in building some of the most respected sailing yachts in the industry since 1974, brings that same passion for seaworthiness, functionality, and elegant design to its powerboat division. This heritage is palpable in every curve and detail of the 60 Open, setting her apart in a crowded market.

 

 

At first glance, the 60 Open's flowing lines and broad, flared bow make a statement. Unlike the more angular designs prevalent today, she embraces a softer, more classic sport boat feel, reminiscent of timeless automotive styling. This isn't just for looks; the flared bow and generous freeboard are integral to her performance, ensuring a remarkably dry ride even in choppy seas and providing more interior volume below deck.

 

The hull, constructed from GRP, is a semi-displacement design that marries planing speeds with the comfortable, stable cruising of a displacement hull. This allows for a versatile cruising experience, where she can effortlessly cover long distances at a wide range of speeds. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS pod drives, the 60 Open offers exceptional maneuverability with joystick control, making docking in tight marinas a breeze. Engine options range from the efficient IPS 800 to the powerful IPS 1350, providing top speeds up to 39 knots.

A Deck Designed for Connection and Comfort

The on-deck layout of the Solaris Power 60 Open is a masterclass in social design and connection to the water. The walk-around side decks are a standout feature, allowing for seamless movement from the spacious aft cockpit to the inviting foredeck lounge.

• Expansive Cockpit: The main deck aft is a large, open area perfect for entertaining. It features two large tables surrounded by L-shaped sofas, capable of accommodating a sizable group of guests. An electrically-raising flatscreen TV and a well-equipped wet bar with a grill and icemaker ensure all the amenities for a day of relaxation or a lively party are at hand.
• Fold-Down Balconies: A truly innovative feature, the aft bulwarks fold out to create two side terraces, expanding the deck space by 20% and bringing passengers closer to the sea. This creates a phenomenal "beach club" feel while at anchor.
• Foredeck Sanctuary: The bow area is a haven of relaxation. A large sunpad with an adjustable headrest provides a prime spot for sunbathing, while a forward-facing seat offers a great view while underway.
• Tender Garage: Beneath the expansive aft sunpad is a tender garage, a rare find on a boat of this size. It's designed to house a tender or personal watercraft, keeping the decks clear and clutter-free.

 

Below Deck: Unexpected Space and Sophistication
 

Descending into the cabin reveals a level of volume and comfort typically found on much larger vessels. The interior design, by Roseo Design, uses high-quality materials and finishes with a refined, contemporary feel. The layouts are flexible and can be customized to suit an owner's needs.

• Flexible Cabin Layouts: The 60 Open can be configured with two or three cabins, plus an optional crew cabin. The two-cabin version features a spectacular full-beam master suite midship with an en-suite head, providing a private and spacious retreat.
• Spacious Master Cabin: The full-beam master cabin is a highlight, offering a king-sized bed, ample storage, and a large en-suite bathroom with a separate shower stall.
• Natural Light and Air: Large hull windows and strategically placed portholes fill the interior with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The thoughtful ventilation system ensures comfort in all climates.
• Well-Equipped Galley: The galley is centrally located and fully appointed with a fridge, freezer, and stove, making it practical for both quick snacks and full meals.

 

In summary, the Solaris Power 60 Open is more than just a boat; it's a floating sanctuary built for those who appreciate impeccable design, solid engineering, and a seamless connection to the marine environment. She delivers the effortless performance of a fast cruiser with the amenities and feel of a much larger vessel, making her a standout in her class.
