The 18.29-metre Solaris Power 60 Open is a fast yacht, but the most persuasive part of its design appears once the engines stop. Large relaxation areas fore and aft, shaded dining, a tender garage and direct water access turn the anchorage into the centre of the day rather than merely the place between passages.
The deck is organised around outdoor living
Solaris gives the 60 Open substantial sunbathing and lounging areas both forward and aft, together with a shaded dining space and deck bar. Guests do not need to crowd into one cockpit because the yacht provides several distinct places to spend time outside.
This makes a difference when friends or family have different rhythms. Some can remain in the shade over lunch while others sunbathe forward, and the yacht avoids the feeling that every activity must happen around one table.
A tender garage keeps toys out of sight until needed
The garage can carry a hydro-jet tender and water toys, while a lifting platform can support a jet ski. A hydraulic gangway also doubles as a swim ladder, giving the stern multiple functions without permanently covering it in equipment.
For guests, this means a cleaner deck most of the time and quick access to activity when wanted. The crew or owner can launch equipment without dismantling the principal social areas, preserving the relaxed atmosphere of the anchorage.
The walkaround layout makes movement feel effortless
A full walkaround deck connects bow and stern without forcing guests through the interior. High bulwarks and wide passages are intended to make movement secure even while the yacht is underway or when people are carrying towels, drinks or equipment.
Good circulation is especially important on open yachts because people move constantly between water, seating and sun areas. A route that feels natural reduces interruptions and helps the deck behave like one continuous outdoor living environment.
Speed remains useful because it protects leisure time
With optional power Solaris publishes speeds approaching 40 knots, giving the yacht the ability to cover coastal distances quickly. The hull is also designed for comfortable running in varied sea conditions rather than chasing speed alone.
That performance supports the lifestyle rather than replacing it. A faster passage means the yacht can reach a quieter anchorage sooner and leave later, preserving more of the day for the part owners often value most: simply being stopped somewhere beautiful.
