Italian Marvel on Water - A Revealing First Look at the Magnificent Solaris Power 70 Long Range

Published: 30 Mar 2026
Meet the new Solaris 70 LR, an exceptional flagship from Solaris, the reputable Italian yard. This is not a mere extension of its sportier brethren, but a different beast entirely, intended for long-range, liveaboard cruising.

Introducing the Solaris 70 Long Range, a nautical marvel from the esteemed Italian boatyards of Solaris. Celebrated for their sportier Open and Coupé models, the renowned manufacturer has shifted their helm to chart new waters, creating a vessel intended for long-range liveaboards rather than simply being a glamorous day boat. The fresh course begins with a Category A rated semi-displacement hull, engineered for comfortable and fuel-efficient voyages at speeds varying from 8-22 knots. Powered by Twin IPS pod drives along with 4,100-litre tanks, the Solaris 70 LR promises a remarkable cruising range reaching up to 900 nautical miles at a consistent speed of 12 knots. However, the Italian artistry does not wane in this pragmatic design. The Solaris 70 LR showcases numerous design frills, harking back to a Solaris hallmark. Starting with an oversized aft cockpit featuring two extravagant lounging and dining areas, onto an extended hydraulic platform granting access to capacious storage—perfect for stowing away tenders or even a pair of Seabobs. One of the optional design executions is the installation of a massive folding balcony along the starboard side connecting seamlessly to a sliding side door in the saloon. This ingenious design blurs the boundary between the indoors and the outdoors, fringing the edges of the luxurious world within and the enchanting sights of the open sea. Inside, the customization options continue to amaze. The lower deck can be tailored to suit varying needs – from having two full-beam VIP suites at either end, or opting for three ensuite doubles and a considerable twin. A compact crew cabin adds the final touch to this meticulously crafted, dream liveaboard cruiser. The Solaris Power 70 Long Range, with its captivating blend of Italian flair and robust functionality, enters the market as a disruptive entrant in the world of luxury yachts, setting a new standard for indulgence and allure.
