Launched in August 2020 at the Performance Boats shipyard, the Solaris Yachts’ super sailing yacht CeFeA is the largest Solaris built to date. At 33.77-metre in length the vessel has some seriously cool features which make her both a high performance racing yacht and a top luxury cruiser. SYT stepped aboard the yacht, which came on the market in September, to chat to her owner and to find out a little more about the vessel.

We have recently finalised the designs for the new yacht and I can’t wait to start building her. It's going to be a very exciting vessel that matches or even exceeds CeFeA in her performance and comfort!”

Featuring an exterior design from Studio MYT, which is also the creative mind behind her luxurious interiors, and naval architecture from Javier Soto Acebal, the Solaris Yacht 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
