2012 Solaris 48

Solaris One 48 – One Owner Since New | Carbon Sail Upgrade | Never Chartered

The Solaris One 48 is widely regarded as one of the most successful and enduring models ever built by Solaris Yachts. Combining timeless Italian design, exceptional build quality and rewarding sailing performance, she has earned a reputation as one of the true classics of modern yacht design.

This particular example presents a rare opportunity to acquire what is arguably one of the finest owner-operated Solaris One 48s currently available on the market.

Owned by the same owner since new and never chartered, she has been carefully maintained and continuously upgraded throughout her life. Unlike many yachts of her age, she spent the majority of her years in the Netherlands where she was professionally winterised and stored indoors every winter season. Only in recent years has she relocated to the Mediterranean, where she continues to be privately cruised and meticulously cared for.

Presented with elegant grey-painted topsides, full teak decks and a beautifully crafted oak interior, she perfectly reflects the understated sophistication and quality for which Solaris Yachts has become renowned.

The spacious interior offers three comfortable double cabins and two bathrooms, creating an ideal layout for family cruising or extended voyages with guests. The warm oak joinery, combined with excellent natural light and ventilation, creates a welcoming atmosphere that remains timeless and elegant.

The generous saloon features a fixed oak dining table with additional seating, while the practical galley is fitted with Corian worktops, twin electric refrigerators and ample storage for extended cruising. Air conditioning in the owner's cabin, aft cabins and saloon, together with Webasto heating, ensures comfort in all climates.

Under sail, the Solaris One 48 remains every bit the performance cruiser that established the reputation of the Solaris brand. Her balanced hull shape, responsive steering and powerful rig provide fast, rewarding sailing while remaining remarkably easy to manage by a couple or short-handed crew.

A major highlight is the substantial sail upgrade completed in 2023. The yacht is equipped with premium Millennium Technology one-piece carbon sails together with a Code Zero, providing exceptional sail shape, performance and efficiency. Combined with the white-painted aluminium mast, carbon Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, underdeck furling system and electric sail handling package, she delivers a level of performance rarely found in comparable yachts.

Additional features include:

• Millennium Technology one-piece carbon sails (2023)
• Code Zero with dedicated furler and equipment
• Carbon Park Avenue boom
• White-painted aluminium mast
• Rod rigging
• Three Harken electric winches
• Electric bow thruster
• Whisper Marine generator
• Air conditioning system

• Electric flush toilets
• Max Prop feathering propeller (new 2017)
• Raymarine navigation suite with radar and autopilot
• AIS transponder
• Bose entertainment system
• Carbon JEFA steering wheels
• Full teak decks including coachroof and bathing platform

The yacht is comprehensively equipped for comfortable cruising and extended stays aboard. A large battery bank, inverter, hot water system, generator, air conditioning and extensive electronics package make her equally suited to Mediterranean cruising, offshore passages and longer voyages.

Included in the sale are numerous cruising accessories such as sprayhood, cockpit bimini, gangway, Highfield tender with Honda outboard, liferaft and additional safety equipment.

Elegant, fast and exceptionally well maintained, this Solaris One 48 offers a unique combination of proven offshore capability, modern upgrades and timeless design. Opportunities to acquire a privately owned, never-chartered example with such a documented history and recent investment are increasingly rare.

Presented in very good condition and ready for immediate cruising.
