ABOUT SOLARIS:

The venture started in the 70s in Aquileia, on the shores of the Venetian Lagoon, where first the Romans and then the Serenissima Republic left their important seafaring heritage taken up by Solaris Yachts, manufacturer of Solaris.

 

With a total area of 26,000 sqm, including 6,000 sqm under cover, besides building “custom” yachts, the yard has refitted and restored yachts up to 100 feet. With forty years of dedicated boat building and refitting experience, and a unique know-how, the technical department and the skilled workers of Solaris design and build top quality sailing yachts, combining technology and strength with the traditional manufacture of the incomparable wood interiors.

 

The quality and the finish of the interior joinery are distinctive features of Solaris, renowned and appreciated all over the world. The refined selection of fine woods combines with the skilled handmade care of the details. The craftsmanship is a necessity for the target that Solaris has set itself: excellence. The final result is a byword for unique and unmistakable fittings that are designed to be functional, comfortable at sea and ultimately durable.
