Solaris 68 RS Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Solaris 68 RS means looking at a boat that premiered in 2017 as the flagship of the One Line and was later repositioned as the first in the future Raised Saloon series, designed by Javier Soto Acebal with the in-house shipyard. Built as a solid fibreglass hull with a modern sports hull and elegant superstructure, it carries a Category A certification and a central engine-and-tank layout intended to concentrate weight for speed data — facts that matter more than cosmetics when you inspect a used example.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The boat was originally offered with a wide range of interior layouts from a standard three-cabin version to a five-cabin version, and the five-cabin version has the port side galley displaced aft. A comfortable natural wood interior and circular glazing providing full visibility and light access to the salon carry across the layouts, so the main used-market differentiator is cabin count and whether the galley sits aft in the five-cabin arrangement.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market these boats commonly carry a watermaker, inverter, bow thruster, freezer, radar, AIS, chartplotter, air conditioning, lithium batteries, electric winches, washing machine, swim platform, cockpit shower and autopilot. Often-seen equipment includes a furling main, bimini, teak decks, EPIRB and life raft. The factory offered a dinghy garage or spacious aft locker, bowsprit, and one or two rudder pens as order options, so their presence varies by individual spec rather than as a market tier. A 150 hp engine with a 190 hp option on direct drive and a ton of water with almost the same amount of fuel remain baseline capacities regardless of fitted gear.
What to Inspect
The documented central placement of engine and tanks is the builder's stated weight-concentration method, so verify that the engine and tank mounting remain intact and that the structure around them shows no compromise from the concentrated load. Confirm Category A certification paperwork and inspect the solid fibreglass hull and deck for the osmotic resistance expected from vacuum-infusion construction, since the builder's method uses vinylester resin to prevent osmosis. Check which rudder configuration — one or two rudder pens — is fitted and whether the dinghy garage or aft locker was specified, as these alter structural openings and should be assessed for watertight integrity.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Solaris 68 RS are Spain, the United States and Italy. For a buyer, the checklist is straightforward: confirm three- or five-cabin layout and galley position; verify commonly fitted systems such as watermaker, bow thruster and lithium batteries are operational; inspect central engine and tank structure; confirm rudder-pen count and dinghy garage or aft locker condition; and validate Category A certification and hull integrity.
