Solaris 72 Classic Buyer's Guide
The Solaris 72 Classic is a 21.6-meter semi-custom monohull built by Solaris Yachts at Aquileia and manufactured between 2013 and 2022, with exterior design by Javier Soto Acebal and interiors by the Solaris Design Team. On the brokerage market it appears as a four-cabin blue water cruiser-racer carrying a CE Class A Ocean rating, and the documented record shows no model-specific defects to anchor a buyer's caution beyond normal survey.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The as-documented accommodation provides four cabins, seven guest berths, and four bathrooms, with a saloon occupying the entire deckhouse raised above deck and offering all-around visibility. The owner's cabin and a guest cabin sit aft of the saloon, a longitudinal galley forward serves saloon and cockpit along with another guest cabin, and a bow crew cabin includes a bathroom, laundry, and navigation area. The cockpit is divided into work and rest areas with a folding transom for sea access, and the Mediterranean cockpit deck arrangement is standard.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Commonly fitted equipment on brokerage examples includes watermaker, air conditioning, heating, inverter, asymmetric spinnaker, furling main, bow thruster, electric winches, freezer, hot water, washing machine, bimini, teak decks, radar, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, EPIRB, and life raft. The original specification already carries a high modulus carbon mast with Park Avenue boom and integrated magic trim, carbon rigging, a Reckmann recessed code-zero furler, and a lifting keel varying from 4 m to 2.6 m; these are delivery items rather than upgrades. No items are noted as often seen or as occasional owner upgrades in the market record.
What to Inspect
The documented known-issues file for the Solaris 72 Classic is empty of reported defects; the only builder-side note is that a minimum of three weeks of builders sea trials are planned, which is a commissioning step rather than a fault. A buyer should still commission a full structural and systems survey, but no model-specific failure modes are recorded in the source material to prioritize beyond standard GRP monohull and carbon-rig checks.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Solaris 72 Classic are Italy. For a shopper, the takeaway is straightforward: confirm the lifting keel operation across its 4 m to 2.6 m range, verify the carbon rig and Reckmann furler condition, check the deckhouse saloon and four-cabin layout against charter wear if buying an ex-charter unit, and validate the commonly fitted systems list per individual listing.
- Inspect lifting keel mechanism and draft range
- Survey carbon mast, boom, and rigging
- Review ex-charter wear in four-cabin layouts
- Confirm Italy-based availability through local brokers
