Project: Solaris Power 64 Grand Coupe

Solaris Power presents the 64 Grand Coupe project. Designed by Dragoni the 64 Grand Coupe is based on the 64 Long Range hull, with the difference that it has no flybridge and a sleeker silhouette. Besides the missing flybridge the Grand Coupe comes with the same qualities of the Solaris Power 64 from the high bow to stern walkaround deck, generous interior and exterior volumes ensuring outstanding onboard comfort, and the largest and most welcoming aft cockpit deck in class and size. The Solaris Power 64 Grand Coupe is to be available with four options for the main deck, and three for the lower deck. The offers for the lower deck go from a standard open free aft deck, to an optional sun-pad with tender garage underneath. The lower deck comes with three choices for three or four cabins. The Solaris Power 64 Grand Coupe is powered by Volvo 900hp and optional 1000hp with IPS pod propulsion giving speeds up to 29 knots with the large engine option.

Project: Kadey-Krogen 53

In honor of its fiftieth Anniversary in 2026, Kadey-Krogen is proud to introduce the all-new Krogen 53 project, a next-generation passage-maker that represents the very best of the Kadey-Krogen philosophy. Purpose-built for serious offshore cruising, the Krogen 53 blends five decades of experience designing long-range cruising yachts with modern innovations that enhance life aboard for today’s owner-operators. Building upon the proven legacy of the Krogen 52 and the brand’s unmatched reputation for seaworthiness, the Krogen 53 is engineered for those who believe the journey is every bit as important as the destination. Designed to cross oceans in comfort and confidence, the yacht delivers the reliability, efficiency, and onboard live-ability that have defined Kadey-Krogen yachts for generations. At the heart of every Kadey-Krogen yacht is the company’s exclusive Pure Full Displacement hull, the defining characteristic that has earned the loyalty of seasoned cruisers around the world. Developed specifically for full-displacement passage-making yachts, the PFD hull features ideal displacement-to-length ratios, a fine entry, and characteristic end-to-end symmetry, including Kadey-Krogen’s signature “wineglass” transom. The result is a ride renowned for its comfort, predictability, and efficiency in a wide range of sea conditions. Designed for extended time aboard, the Krogen 53 places significant emphasis on practical storage and operational reliability. Systems throughout the yacht are engineered for accessibility, ease of maintenance, and redundancy in critical considerations for owners planning months away from shore in remote destinations. Generous storage solutions throughout the vessel accommodate spare parts, tools, provisions, cruising gear, and everything required for extended off-grid adventures. The new 53 also introduces a new level of adaptability to suit a variety of cruising lifestyles as owners can select from multiple interior configurations, including two galley arrangements: either integrated into the salon in classic Kadey-Krogen fashion or positioned adjacent to the pilothouse, opening additional living space in the salon, while bringing the galley closer to the helmsman. Krogen enthusiasts may note cleaner lines in the interior joinery and lines of sight throughout the interior that create a more open and inviting feel. Accommodation plans include either a three-stateroom layout for family cruising or a two-stateroom configuration featuring a dedicated office, which ideal for remote work, passage planning, or additional utility space during extended voyages. The profile of the Krogen 53 has been thoughtfully updated to blend contemporary aesthetics with timeless Kadey-Krogen DNA. While the lines are modernized, the yacht remains unmistakably a Krogen, retaining the raised pilothouse profile and purposeful stance that have defined the brand since the launch of the original Krogen 42 in 1976. Enhanced stabilization systems and state-of-the-art engine technology further elevate onboard comfort and long-range efficiency, while maintaining the quiet, confident ride expected from a true passage-maker.
