Solaris 72 Classic Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Solaris 72 Classic means considering a 21.6-meter Italian-built semi-custom monohull produced between 2013 and 2022, a Javier Soto Acebal exterior design with Solaris Design Team interiors and a lifting keel that draws as little as 2.6 meters. These are ocean-rated cruisers with a deckhouse saloon and four-cabin accommodation, offered both as privately specified yachts and as ex-charter examples.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin arrangements are the more common configuration available on the used market, though privately specified layouts also turn up; ex-charter boats are common. The standard plan separates two living zones around a full-beam deckhouse saloon with all-around visibility, places the owner's cabin and a guest cabin aft, runs a longitudinal galley forward serving saloon and cockpit, and tucks a crew cabin with bathroom, laundry, and navigation area into the bow. A folding transom and a cockpit split into work and rest areas are part of the package regardless of layout origin.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Buyers will find these yachts commonly fitted with the systems that matter for extended cruising. Power and energy clusters around a watermaker, heating, air conditioning, inverter, and a bow thruster, with electric winches reducing crew load on the carbon rig. Sail handling and canvas commonly include a furling main, asymmetric spinnaker, and bimini, while navigation and safety typically pair radar, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, EPIRB, and life raft. Comfort provisions such as a freezer, hot water, washing machine, and teak decks are also commonly fitted — a well-equipped boat in this tier rarely lacks them.
What to Inspect
The reference record lists fuel capacity at 2 liters and water tank capacity at 1 liter for the model, figures that are not credible for a 35,000 kg ocean cruiser and should be treated as database errors rather than as-built specs. Beyond verifying actual tankage against the hull, a survey should confirm the lifting keel mechanism across its 4-meter to 2.6-meter range, the carbon mast and Park Avenue boom installation, and the Reckmann recessed code zero furler. The folding transom hardware and the semi-custom interior joinery developed with the original owner are worth close examination given the owner-involved build path.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts are typically found in Italy. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm true fuel and water capacity, exercise the lifting keel fully, survey the carbon rig and furler, inspect the transom and deckhouse joinery, and verify whether the boat is an ex-charter unit with the common charter-era equipment still aboard.
