@@RandomGuyRandomNumber Yes, I can sketch this out, I love the voluptuous lobster boat / classic car curves. That's not to say I don't like some tri-angular designs too.
Screw the haters I love it. It's a weekender & short cruiser for the Med. What's not obvious from the tour is the seakeeping practicalities, it has a very efficient, sable hull. So stable SP say you don't need a seakeeper (though you can buy one). Bulwarks around the boat, level deck, very nice. I'd have a 1 cabin 1 heads version with a small loveseat and most of the 2nd cabin as storage.
If you could take the best features of this boat (eg. power windows in the living area, larger fridge, and more headspace in the guest cabin) and put those on the Pardo GT52 (which has a better overall layout, imo) that would be amazing.
Stunning exterior design! However, the interior leaves a lot to be desired. It's definitely a day boat. With the lower level doors installed, it would be extremely cramped. The boat is certainly a head turner.
Nice finish and stylish. If I had nearly £2 million to spend on a new boat, not a chance would I have this one. It is nice to see how those with more money than me waste it on. Good video though 👍.
That is definitely a beautiful yacht, love the interior and the outside is spectacular. I would definitely not get through that engine hatch lol. Great tour Hugo thank you.
Why did you like the interior? To me, it was very cramped. If the lower level doors were installed, it would be horrible. This boat would be ok for an overnight stay only. It is primarily a day boat only. But, it is stunning on the exterior.
Wow, so many compromises for style. Low backrests in aft deck seats will become uncomfortable quickly; helmsman has no quick access to side decks when docking; forward window is so slanted the view forward is inadequate; minimal galley counter space; the boat sleeps six and seats four; guest cabins are awkward with compromised headroom. Compare the Solaris to a Grand Banks or even a Belize 54 and it falls way short.
Looks nice. That flared body means it's stable in the water, but also, huge air pockets for a lovely bit of hull slap at night to keep,you awake. Unless they sound deadened the ,iving hell out of that curve, it would make a bad harbor sleeper
..somebody would..take a bit of a shine to it 😂. I'm sure the cutlery would have been worth lifting, but overall I have to say I'm actually more disappointed for you, rather than me, Hugo. You went from being entirely in love as you started, to rather less so by the time you finished! Beautiful lines though, as you said. Thanks for that, see you next time and all the best
voluptuous or not 1.4 million ex vat is alot of money for a 3 cabin boat with no standing room in the vip. yes its not aimed at people like me but it still has to make usable sense... unless youre a little person. maybe thats their target maket. ultra rich little people who love boats. 🤣😂
its a pretty boat but hugo is too sold on the "show" rather than the "go". yes. very curvy. yes, very pretty teak - which will never be the same after the first time it hits the water. and there is no way somone will not eventually overfill at that fuel inlet. its going on the teal and the pain. pretty if you have a full time professional crew and keep it in a boat house or have it lifted out after every use, but not so practical. but some people can afford that and good on them.
Really such of poor boat tv area,front window,very tidy cabines,to big engine room not enough day lighting for the cabines..... Only good about out side looks very nice but not at all
Once again I hate these bows and interior cramped compared to say a princess or sunseeker. It is pretty though. I would get a riva if I was in the market for looks.
That was a very overpriced sports-cruiser if I ever saw one. The design is beautiful, but that's it. No fly-bridge and 28 knots flat out. Probably cruising at 20 knots in the tropics. Thumbs down, stay the hell away from it.
Form over function it would appear! Terrible view from the helm, sunroof in the wrong place, pathetic helm side window, nightmare to keep clean and scratch free etc etc. Nice to look at, but couldn’t imagine owning one. Great tour though Hugo!

Is there a single aspect or feature of this boat that wasn't hopelessly compromised in the name of style ?
No, but the styling is superb.

Oven or microwave? beautiful outside and some nice touches but pretty poorly thought out in my opinion

As you said repeatedly, beautiful, but totally impractical!

Looks like they ordered the swinger spec package, open plan accommodation 😂😂
Will sit in a marina looking pretty and never go out.
Nice boat to look at, but the substance of the living-ability onboard is lacking. 😢
It's not a live-aboard though. Not designed for it. It's a port hopping cruiser.
That is definitely a beautiful yacht, love the interior and the outside is spectacular. I would definitely not get through that engine hatch lol. Great tour Hugo thank you.

Beautiful to look at but the view from the helm looks too compromised.
Beautiful finish, but almost £2 million? Not so sure.

That forward view in the wheelhouse is very restrictive
An issue for me would be no drains or scuppers on the side decks in any heavy seas water would run straight down to the cockpit😮🎉

1.4 million... These boat manufacturers ate just having a laugh at this point
Not much thinking went into where they put the TV. I gave a like for the video but I don't think I like the boat that much.
An amazing boat
How many times did he say "LOVELY?"
one problem, no bbq grill.
She is very voluptuous, but the pilot house is terribly narrow!
Will have to cash in my pension!
Beautiful boat. Wow man, you sure have some oily hands, lol. Not sure why you feels necessary to fondle every surface.
All of that teak inside is just gorgeous. Wish that you went into little more detail about the bull and stuff.
Beautiful on the outside, but, the interior design is terrible, in no way is this worth effectively 2 million pounds.

A copy of the Sacs Rebel 50, maybe?

This one is 32 knots and almost everyone cruises around 22 knots anyway.

Thanks Nick
Over-styled crap like most Italian boats, mostly with 2700 speakers to badder everybody else in the habour.
You should have your throat looked at you have been hoarse for months. 😊
Happens at every boat show I go to. Too much chatting and talking to the camera!
Another stupid place for a T V.
“solaris power” with no solar panels! 👎
