Solaris I is a 48ft (15m) power boat built in 2022 by Solaris, based in Gustavia, St Barths. Designed to cover ground quickly and give guests access to multiple destinations in a single day, she carries up to 12 passengers with a crew of 2, cruising at 28 knots with a top speed of 38 knots.
The Day Charter Experience
Speed is the advantage. Where larger yachts may visit one or two anchorages in a day, Solaris I can string together a full island-hopping itinerary from Gustavia – beach stops, snorkeling sites, clifftop views, and a waterfront lunch – all before returning by evening. The crew knows the waters around Gustavia intimately and builds each day around guest preferences, weather, and the best conditions for swimming and sightseeing. The open layout means everyone has a good view, and the feeling of moving quickly across open water is part of the thrill.
Activities
Despite her compact size, Solaris I carries 0 pieces of water sports equipment, including quality snorkeling gear for exploring reefs and rocky coastline. At each stop, guests choose between active exploration and simply soaking up the scenery from the deck. Lunch can be served on board or arranged at a waterfront restaurant during one of the day’s stops.
