solaris yacht interior

140m Solaris is the most expensive custom superyacht

Dec 11, 2021 | News , Press

By Jules Rabai

Solaris, built by Lloyd Werft, and delivered in June this year is the most expensive custom superyacht to date.

An explorer class, capable of voyaging to locations beyond any other. If I could spend one day on any yacht in the world, it would be Solaris. The term state-of-the-art is an understatement when it comes to this vessel. I could argue any day that this superyacht is one of the best yachts in the world.

As a 14-year-old boy I feel truly fortunate seeing the world’s most beautiful yachts everyday. Every morning on the way to school, I view all the wonderful yachts harboured in the local port. Considering all that I have observed, I still haven’t seen anything as grand as Solaris!

Yet, every time I wonder, how much effort was put into these assets?

Each ship is the product of 3 people: The owner, who places the order, he defines the concept; The designer, who puts in the technical expertise; finally the builders, who bring it to reality.

The Russian billionaire, Mr. Roman Abramovich, the owner of this boat, has already been in possession of a number of superyachts (Sussurro, Ecstasea, Le Grand Bleu, Luna, Pelorus, Eclipse) before ordering Solaris. So, if there is someone having a concise idea on what is needed for a superyacht it is by all means Mr. Abramovich. Currently though, he owns 162.5-metre Eclipse, another one of the biggest superyachts in the world. So it may be asked, what made him choose to order another?

Perhaps he wanted an environment that allows him to make outstanding business decisions. Maybe he wanted to own a vessel where he could invite extraordinary people and to show them places more exotic than the usual cruising regions of the Caribbean and French Riviera.

Though, in my opinion, the aim of this vessel is truly about the owner and his family. It offers unprecedented privacy, safety, and the ability to travel anywhere, all while being a great place to live. It’s a luxury villa on the sea! Mr. Abramovich has donated more money to build schools, hospitals and infrastructure than any other living Russian. Now it’s time for himself and his family.

If one creates a vessel as outstanding as Solaris (for one’s own family), then privacy and security are considerations.  This may be the reason for Solaris being a moving fortress. It has armoured plating, a hand-picked crew of 60, biometric fingerprint scanners, panic room and supposedly a radar missile detection system.  Roman Abramovich nevertheless is a master and a well-known pioneer for anti-paparazzi systems to help keep his privacy to the fullest extent private. So naturally against paps, he needed to use an ultra-high-tech laser shielding system. My utmost favorite of any of his systems so far. It can best be explained as a very high budget version of shining a torch in someone’s face. Only here, the torch is a high intensity infra-red laser (only harmful to cameras) and someone’s face is the photosensitive parts of the paparazzi’s cameras. This system can detect any photo before it can be taken and blind the paps’ cameras using its lasers.

Today, instead of long ranged lenses you have drones too – so once one enters in a range of 20 kilometres it is registered as a potential threat: Spy observed.  Then if one is as reckless as to go within 500-metres of the craft it has its video signal blocked: Spy disabled.  Afterwards if the drone still decides to hang around, it will be forced out of the sky: Spy eliminated. Along with strict ‘privacy contracts’ being signed by each of the crew, we may be very certain that not a word is getting off that ship.

Unparalleled privacy is just one of the many features which required Mr. Frank Neubelt’s ingenuity to implement for Solaris.  Frank Neubelt is a familiar name to most in the yachting industry being a well-respected designer. All his experience gathered over his 25 year career certainly shows with exceptional results. Even the name ‘Solaris’, already implies his phenomenal work, being Latin for ‘pertaining to the sun’ which his what his design truly adheres to.

Accordingly, the vessel has a mirror like light grey hull which glistens brightly in the sun. Furthermore, a crisp white superstructure provides a complement alleviating the hull by being brighter as if stating to the viewer that the inside is even better and to have a look inside. The superstructure is even, encapsulated by the hull arching over at the peak making the ship very unique. This element may also serve the purpose of protection reinforcing that the inside is something precious to keep safe.

The spectacle continues on into the night. Once the night lights are activated a magnificent view ameliorates the sea darkness. This is done by the well-placed lights shining at exactly sea level. Their glares rebound from the water onto the hull lighting it up and complementing the orange illumination of the upper decks to perfection. Orange by being close to gold also may suggest that we should see this artistry from the inside… So, what is on the inside?

The yacht’s interior is a well kept secret. Though, in a 11,011 ton mastery I would be certain that in the full length of 140-metre one of the  decks must certainly hide at least one indoor swimming pool.  Speaking about water it is just the standard for these size yachts to help you relax in many ways. For example, giving you an ability to enjoy the welcoming warmth of a jacuzzi, the aft swimming pool or the calming environment of a sauna. It is also expected to have a full gym.

Neubelt made sure the owner could invite plenty of friends – 36 guests, excluding the crew of 60 – by including 48 cabins onboard. Though, this is barely scratching the surface when you want to experience the full luxury of this yacht, such as a cinema screen integrated into the helipad.

If you need luxury, what better place to start than having a beach club at the back of your yacht. Though as far as I can tell Solaris was definitely installed with many ways to draw inspiration through sight.  Through equipping the ship with an almost endless suppository of balconies. All the upper deck’s edges taunt you to look down and feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of beauty below you – or just the fact that you are 8 decks high. These are both towards the bow and the stern. However you may still wish to have a full view of both what’s ahead and behind. This was made possible through 2 balconies jutting out of the hull either side. Finally you have multiple deployable ones located at the stern. Mentioning the term deployable, what else may you be able to deploy?

I am aiming at the flotilla of 20 high speed jet skis. These are the ultimate way to enjoy the surface of the sea energetically and rhythmically join in with the waves. I mean rhythmically literally. I mean with music! Thanks to the genius of Neubelt, very high powered speakers are installed which can blast music at volumes which can even be heard through the noise of the jet ski. No more lost air pods that’s for sure.

This is how to enjoy the surface of the sea. Though you also have the ability to also be inspired by underneath the sea just as much as above. Trends and innovations are the new staple of the superyachting world after all.  Gaining more popularity are mini-subs, such as ‘Project Neptune’.  This mini submarine is one of the most iconic in the world and provides you with a full 180 degree window at the front and having space for 2 passengers.  It’s unknown if Solaris has a personal sub, but it’s highly likely.

When it comes to passenger and crew transportation you cannot ignore the two docking ports on either side of Solaris for limousine tenders, as well as the helicopter.

Once the design was finished it was the task of German shipbuilder Lloyd Werft to bring Solaris to reality.  This shows in their choice of technology and materials. Solaris has a hull of steel making it very robust yet still not overweighed by the aluminium superstructure. All assisted by 2 AziPods – electric propulsion capable of turning 360 degrees.

In conclusion I would say that Solaris is a marvel. A floating luxury villa which is stylish and robust.

SOLARIS Yacht – Exquisite $600M Superyacht

The SOLARIS yacht was newly launched in 2021 by Lloyd Werft.

At 139.7 meters (458 ft), SOLARIS is considered an absolute giant in the world of superyachts and ranks as the 15th largest in the world.

SOLARIS yacht interior

No official photos of the interior of the SOLARIS yacht have been released, so the exact design is unknown.

However, judging from the minimalist and modern layout of the decks, it can be assumed that the interior follows a similar trend.

The German designer Frank Neubelt is said to have worked on the interior of SOLARIS, although details of the project are unknown.

The yacht is one of the largest in the world, so it comes as no surprise that the SOLARIS yacht can accommodate an impressive 36 guests onboard.

Around 60 crew members find space in the cabins below deck and are available to tend to every need of the passengers.

The yacht also features a large gym, spa, and several salons to host events and welcome guests.

MY SOLARIS Specifications

MY SOLARIS was built in 2021 by the German shipyard Lloyd Werft and became the largest vessel they had ever delivered.

The total length of the yacht is 139.7 meters (458 ft) which makes her 23 meters (75 ft) shorter than Abramovic’s other famous yacht, ECLIPSE.

Her beam is 21.35 meters (70 ft), and her draft measures 5.95 meters (19.6 ft). Her total weight lies at 11,247 tons.

The SOLARIS yacht is powered by six MTU engines which allow her to travel at an average cruise speed of 18 knots with top speeds of 20 knots.

SOLARIS yacht exterior

The exterior of MY SOLARIS was designed by Marc Newson Ltd , an Australian industrial designer who has worked in several industries, including aircraft, furniture, and clothing.

His work is easily recognizable by smooth lines and rounded shapes with geometric elements.

The SOLARIS yacht is a prime example of this with its sleek look, rounded balconies, and many windows. Her eight decks have an unusually light wood that decorates the many open spaces of the vessel.

There are several extendable platforms to release tenders and toys and a large beach club located close to the swimming platform.

Of course, SOLARIS includes a full-size helipad as well as several swimming pools, one of which is located on the largest of the decks aft of the vessel.

SOLARIS yacht price

Yacht SOLARIS was delivered to Abramovic for a reported price of US $600 million, placing her among the most expensive superyachts in the world.

She generates a further US $50 – $60 million in annual running costs.

Lloyd Werft 140m Explorer Mega Yacht SOLARIS Delivered

By Jenna Mehdi

Yesterday marked the delivery of 140m luxury explorer yacht SOLARIS to her new owner. Having successfully completed sea trials, SOLARIS has departed Lloyd Werft’s yard in Bremerhaven to embark upon life after launch.

One of the most highly anticipated and reported-on launches of 2021, SOLARIS’ delivery marks the finalisation of one of the largest megayacht projects to be completed this year. 

Lloyd Werft’s shipbuilding capacity was truly put to the test on this behemoth project; amongst other industry ‘firsts’, SOLARIS features over 2,000 square metres of glass and the largest ABB Azipod®  system ever installed on a superyacht.

Lloyd Werft commented on the delivery: ‘ The handover marked the successful completion of this extraordinary project, which has been realised over several years of planning and building…

A number of very individual demands, some of them never experienced before in yacht building, have been incorporated into this project.

As we did with the legendary LUNA, we have once again built a yacht of the very highest quality.’

At 140m, SOLARIS is the largest explorer yacht to ever be built. Her design is a true evolution of her predecessor and Lloyd Werft flagship 115m LUNA . The new flagship cements the German yard’s status as a leader of the 100m+ building landscape.

"A number of very individual demands, some of them never experienced before in yacht building, have been incorporated into this project." Lloyd Werft Shipyard

Solaris 40 review: appealing mix of style and performance

• Rupert Holmes
• June 22, 2022

Rupert Holmes tests the Solaris 40, a chic, contemporary 40ft performance cruiser with a surprisingly spacious interior

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

Helming your own yacht – or watching friends and family do so – ought to be one of the biggest pleasures of owning a boat. Along with promoting a clean, streamlined aesthetic, this was a core principle in the development of this Italian yard’s four latest models, from the Solaris 40 I tested for this report, up to the 80.

“We wanted to be very aggressive with this aspect – we want the helmsmen to feel the same benefits as sailing a racing yacht,” designer Javier Soto Acebal told me. He therefore eliminated the side decks towards the back of the cockpit, enabling the helm stations to be positioned well outboard and aft.

The result is to maximise visibility from the helm, with an excellent view of the luff of the headsail and of oncoming waves. On my first day on board, sailing upwind in 12-14 knots of true wind, at a 45-50° true wind angle, we made 6.5-7.5 knots boat speed, against an awkward and confused short head sea that would have proved testing for most boats.

Broad reaching back towards port and with the furling gennaker set the boat came alive, the seas that had impeded progress upwind now aiding us and the boat accelerating down the face of the waves at speeds of 10 knots or more.

Had there been a larger asymmetric spinnaker on board we’d undoubtedly have been measurably faster, but one of the intriguing aspects of the test boat was just how effortlessly it is set up to sail. The combination of a self-tacking jib and the furling gennaker makes for a boat that offers brisk performance, without placing big demands on its crew.

The following day we had a little less breeze – around 10 knots true – but a more comfortable sea state. This time close-hauled we still made 6.5 knots, tacking through 90°, but with a positive feel on the helm that made it easy to settle the boat into the groove. Bearing away and unfurling the gennaker we made an effortless and consistent 7-8 knots.

Soto Acebal has drawn a typical contemporary hull shape, with maximum beam carried well aft, broad forward sections and almost full length chines. Flare above the waterline, both forward and aft helps to reduce wetted surface area, thus promoting light airs performance, while twin rudders provide lots of grip, at the cost of a marginal loss of speed in very light airs.

JPK 39FC review: new sporty 40 cruiser

I have long held that bluewater cruising yachts, especially those under 40ft, have much to gain from the way today’s…

I’ve recently sailed several boats with helm stations similarly far outboard and no obvious helm seat, as there’s no side deck – nor, in some cases, provision for a seat aft of the wheel.

Solaris has addressed this with a neat folding seat, which allows you to sit facing outboard. It would be near perfect, except that the test boat had no foot chocks to brace against.

Slimline helm station pods are built into the neat cantilevered pedestals for the wheels and have space for steering compass, engine controls and a small MFD or instrument displays, without being intrusive. However, placing the wheels outboard means there’s a bigger gap between them, which can make changing sides more difficult, especially when the boat is well heeled.

Our test boat was set up for effortless fast sailing. Photo: Andreas Lindlahr/EYOTY

The high freeboard allows for a low profile coachroof and lots of flat deck space, as well as a very cool aesthetic, although the 40 is not as sleek in this respect as the larger models. Two easy steps forward and outboard of the helm stations take you from the level of the cockpit sole to the side decks. Unlike many of today’s yachts it’s also easy to step over the coaming from the cockpit bench to the side deck, avoiding a detour towards the transom.

When going forward the long stainless steel coachroof grab handles are welcome, though our test boat would also benefit from a couple of smaller ones near the companionway.

By cruising standards the cockpit feels as though it lacks protection, especially for those who plan to sail in cooler parts of the world, although the optional sprayhood would help in this respect. Even then, short benches at the forward end of the cockpit limit the number of people that can sit around the optional table.

All sail controls, including the German mainsheet, are led to two pairs of winches ahead of the helm stations. One of the starboard winches of the test boat was upgraded to electric power, which takes the effort out of tasks such as hoisting the mainsail.

Low coachroof and coamings mean the cockpit lacks protection. Photo: Andreas Lindlahr/EYOTY

The winches cannot be reached to trim sails while steering, but with today’s top-notch autopilots that no longer needs to be an issue. A useful advantage of this approach is it allows the winches to be positioned where there’s plenty of room to work them.

The optional mainsheet traveller is deeply recessed in the cockpit sole just aft of the winches. It looks neat, but means the sheet slices across a part of the cockpit in which crewmembers tend to be present during manoeuvres. As a result the traveller needed careful attention in every tack or gybe, so I’d be tempted by the standard arrangement, with the sheet led through a fixed block on the cockpit sole.

On our test boat the traveller problem was compounded by the low boom, which sweeps across the cockpit below 6ft. However, owners could specify a mainsail with a slightly higher clew to avoid this.

By today’s standards the mast is relatively well forward in the boat, which makes the self-tacking jib quite a high aspect ratio sail. There’s also no control of the jib sheet lead, other than the different holes in the clew board of the sail, which makes adjustment to control twist while underway difficult without temporarily furling the sail.

On deck stowage includes two useful smallish cockpit lockers under the aft end of the side benches, one of which has enough space for a liferaft. However, a corner of the rope bags has to be detached to open each of these lockers.

A big lazarette aft, accessed via a large hatch in the cockpit sole, gives access to the quadrants and tie bar for the steering. It also has space to stow the optional neat folding carbon fibre passerelle. The wide fold-down bathing platform reveals the gas locker and stowage for the boarding ladder.

Solaris 40 below decks

The high freeboard helps to create a lot of volume below decks and the interior is therefore larger and more comfortable than the sleek external appearance might suggest. The conventional two- or three-cabin layout includes a proper forward facing chart table to starboard, although this means the settee ahead of it is not quite long enough to function as a sea berth.

There’s a lot of wood veneer in the saloon, yet it doesn’t feel dark, as the relatively slim coachroof windows are augmented by large hull windows.

The owner’s cabin benefits greatly from the extra beam in the forward sections of the hull. This will undoubtedly swing the balance for many buyers – there are few performance cruisers of this size that offer as much space here. There’s a full-size peninsula bed, as well as plenty of floor space, even with the optional en suite, plus reasonable stowage. Large hull windows help provide plenty of natural light and a good view of the outside world.

Aft cabins are smaller, but have plenty of width, although natural light and ventilation is more restricted. The aft heads is nicely appointed, with a cool carbon counter top, but the three-cabin boats lack a separate shower stall.

The L-shaped galley has good worktop space, deep fiddles and a proper crash bar across the cooker. There’s also a 1.5 bowl sink and both top-opening and front-opening fridges. Construction is of vinylester sandwich, with the foam core glued in under vacuum, then the remaining laminate hand laid. As it’s not infused this is a fairly heavy boat and displacement is among the highest of performance cruisers of this length. Nevertheless, fore and aft bulkheads are fully bonded in and, even when upwind in a confused sea the structure appeared stiff, with no undue squeaks or creaks.

Not long ago 40ft performance cruisers were a key part of the market, but it’s now a decade since firms that used to dominate this space, including Beneteau, Elan, J/Boats and Dehler, have launched an all-new fast cruiser of this size. Yet yacht design has taken big steps forward during that time – today’s boats are generally faster, easier to handle and have significantly more interior space. The Solaris 40 is therefore welcome, offering an appealing mix of style, performance and spacious accommodation. It’s a design that offers the potential for fast cruising, with easy and enjoyable passages. While many aspects of the boat are geared for sailing in Mediterranean waters, this design will also be in its element further afield, although tankage is on the small size for extended periods of autonomy. What about the aim to make a cruising yacht that’s as much fun to helm as a thoroughbred racer? Solaris has done a good job in this respect, with my main reservation relating to displacement, which inevitably has a knock-on effect on performance. In other respects, as all boats are built to order, owners can choose exactly the specification they want. The small items I noted that might benefit from improvement would therefore be easy to rectify.

Our objective was to develop a new 40’ yacht incorporating the very latest innovations, whilst preserving the design flair of Javier Soto Acebal. This is how the Solaris 40 was born, with numerous evolutions that distinguish this new project, in both hull performance and comfort at sea. Starting with the hull, Solaris has chosen an extremely buoyant bow line, characterized by a subtle chine that ends at mid-hull. The high buoyancy forward is balanced by the broad aft sections, which facilitate the twin rudders that ensure excellent directional stability. The broad cockpit is equipped with two full-width steering pedestals: this is a unique feature to helm with an unobstructed view forward, even with the sprayhood up. Forward of the pedestals, there are convenient steps up to the side decks. The lifelines are slightly angled from that position. The interiors – which were created with the help of architect Roseo – are extremely classic: the L-shaped galley on the portside, 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms. The separate shower is in the owner’s cabin bathroom. The high-quality interior design is extremely refined, with 6 hull windows providing natural light.

Aircraft Categories

Large-Cabin Jets

Mid-Size Jets

Large-cabin, long-range private jets are the absolute top of the line, offering exceptional performance and amenities. The average large-cabin jet, such as the Gulfstream IV, has a range of 3500-4800 miles with a cruise speed of 530 mph. Long-range options such as the Gulfstream G650, or the Bombardier Global Express, can fly 7000+ miles non-stop. Onboard amenities typically found on large-cabin jets include a private lavatory and dressing area, convertible space for sleeping, multiple baggage compartments, entertainment systems, satellite phones, fax machines, internet service, and full galleys. Typical Interior Layout:

The mid-size and super-mid are a combined category, optimally geared toward medium-range trips such as transcontinental flights with minimal stops. The Hawker 900XP or the Falcon 50EX offer luxurious seating for 5-9 passengers on flights of distances ranging from 2000-3500 miles. Aircraft in this category are generally considered stand-up cabin height and include amenities such as a full galley, entertainment systems, and a fully enclosed lavatory.

Typical Interior Layout:

Light Jets offer a high performance option for shorter flights of three hours or less. Most are uniquely capable of flying into hundreds of airports not accessible by the mid or large category jets. Light-jets such as the Hawker 400XP or the Citation CJ3 have an average range of 1700 miles. While each aircraft is unique, the typical cabin features a partial galley, a private lavatory, and is configured to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers.

Considered the backbone of general aviation, turboprop aircraft provide a cost effective option for short-haul flights or flights that require more luggage capacity. These aircraft offer surprising comfort and comparable performance to many of the light-jets. Turboprop aircraft, such as the King Air 350, have a cruising speed of 300+ mph, a cabin configuration for eight passengers, and a range of up to 1000 miles.
