We have recently finalised the designs for the new yacht and I can’t wait to start building her.

Featuring an exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4642" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MYT Group (Company)">Studio MYT</a>, which is also the creative mind behind her luxurious interiors, and naval architecture from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/169" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Javier Soto Acebal (Company)">Javier Soto Acebal</a>, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solaris Yachts (Company)">Solaris Yacht</a> can accommodate as many as nine guests between four comfortable staterooms. One of the most notable things about the vessel's interior is the large spaces which seem to open up as you walk through the yacht, culminating in the master stateroom to aft which is filled with light from windows which wrap along the aft wall and ceiling. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206739/image/large-7c822c3492baa187b38a58a3e7f969c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206739"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206740/image/large-c7c984e1ce2e855dba8479b22c34135d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206740">Aside from the impressive width, double bathroom and aft facing bed, this master suite leads directly out onto the beach club, giving her owners immediate access to the water. This aft location also means that when there are many guests onboard, they have access to the stateroom without having to walk through the entire vessel, offering her owners additional privacy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206756/image/large-e424078ea2c0d92a7fc83ab3a6abd260.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206756">The vessel seems to have internal volumes which belies her length. The main saloon is finished in creams and neutral tones which create a calm and homely atmosphere, while curved forms from the wooden finish on the ceiling to the arms of the settee lend an organic and romantic aesthetic. With a large dining table on one side and an L-shaped settee on the other, the main saloon is the perfect location to relax after a long day on the water, especially if you are sailing in the colder climates of the northern hemisphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206742/image/large-62c0ce46db2243a5bfb6ff9e7a891d11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206742"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206734/image/large-02cbefd327e0a13b8d5c96c66b9f1545.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206734">Moving forward from the saloon is a raised chart table, where guests can pour over their itinerary and plan the route of their cruise. From here there is access to the three additional staterooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, which have been finished with panelled walls that lend the space an Asian influence. The bathrooms are complete with gold taps and black marble tops and walls which have a true superyacht style.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206736/image/large-f189284205bc93507c8e6dd2b3306fec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206736"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206733/image/large-3b315eb6398688dc355e2d04c8cf8992.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206733">While there is no doubt the yacht can pick up some serious speed under canvas, with her massive 312 square-metres of sail, even under power <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8467" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CeFeA33.77m (110'10&quot;)Solaris Yachts2020">CeFeA</a> can reach top speeds of 11 knots. She also has a range of 1,700 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 9.5 knots, so even if the wind fails you, you are sure to get to wherever your heart desires! <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206755/image/large-5a0baadc587396168fdea4ce4c8b5b19.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206755">
