Our written review of the SOLARIS 52 COUPE is now live! Follow the link for the detailed review, deck plans and rivals: www.yachtbuyer.com/en/reviews/solaris-power-52-coupe-2024
The De Antonio 50 coupe w/ hot tub option! It's not for everyone but I love the styling and the ability to have 3 or 4 outboards. The Galeon 510 Sky comes in second but more for the insane amount of features it has than for it's looks.
I think the Pardo GT52 still holds the crown. It's hard to beat the overall design and the fantastic master cabin and saloon/lower kitchen layout. But I do like the drop-down windows in the saloon, superior-sized/height guest cabin(s), and tender garage on the Solaris.
Nice. Like the layout and space. I like the idea of a boat that can walk the line between an adventure boat and still have decent cabin and sleeping space. This certainly does that.
Thank you for posting more often to clear out the ‘23/‘24 videos to make way for the new crop of ‘24/‘25 videos starting in Cannes! Excellent review,as usual. Your reviews hit all of the points that are important to me without a bunch of fluff I don’t care about. Keep up the great work!
My fav videos were those list videos under each price range. Any chance you will continue doing those??? Maybe a top 5 day boat list would be dope as Im currently shopping for this style of boat!
We absolutely will during the autumn show season. Have you seen our review of the Pardo 52GT that just went live? A rival to this for sure. Good luck with the search… - Jack
Lovely a lot of thought and planning has gone off into this Solarious she classy. But I dont like the cabin areas as they are. Needs a rethink, thats my personal view. But overall she a fabulous boats. Thanks for the tour, I would like to see you take her out for a sea trial.
As always, a great video. Impressive but I was struggling with the wheelhouse space in terms of width, just feels wrong and I personally would’ve preferred the full width and not the ability to walk the sides, bit like the Saxdor. Just my humble opinion.
I like the Pardo yachts just as much. This is a very modern Italian design - the Princess V50 range is great too - but they look like the English yachts. I like sailing yachts, None of these are as pretty as a classic J class or Hinkley.
Solaris is essentially a sailing boat shipyard, only recently they started popping out these mobos. Very beautiful, very Italian, sailing boats - racer-cruisers with luxurious interiors and pretty lines. This yacht has sort of an American lobster boat vibe, which is a bit odd, but somehow still fits that house style. The interiors are very similar, the colours and textures.
Solaris makes Med Cruiser Sailing Yachts - they have a distinct Euro look I’m ambivalent about. I’m not sure how well they’d handle the Atlantic off the NE US. But - I’ve been surprised before. Equipped correctly some can just plow through 5 meter seas. As a rule you shouldn’t be out in 5 meter seas.
I know what you mean. You're taller than me but it felt pretty safe on a raised boat show stand. I'll will reserve full judgement until we (hopefully) sea trial it - Jack
Jack and YB you guys are the best in the business at this. I’ve watch a lot of yatch channels mostly out of curiosity. But now that I’m getting older I’m looking into owning a sub 70 foot yatch maybe around that 50 foot would be ideal. Watching your channel is just marvelous. No frills no wasted time… no nonsense… you review the yatch like it is unlike other channels. I got tired of watching the nonsense on aquaholic and nautistyles. Can’t stomach their channels after seeing how professional you represent this channel. Btw the worst one is Yatchs for Sale… he thinks he is a poet or something… too much blabbering and the channel doesn’t showcase the boats highlights like you guys do. That channel is very annoying. I get mad because apparently he gets all the big yatchs but hey I’m not in a market to hire people to run a bigger than 25m yatch. Anyways Great job!!!
Thanks very much for the kind words, it’s great to hear that you like our approach 👍 - Jack P.S. check out the superyacht playlist on our channel, we get some big stuff too 😉
