Project: Solare 22 Mt Navetta, Solare 68 Navetta Semidislocante, Solare 60 Navetta Semidislocante, Solare 58 Navetta Semidislocante, Solare 51 Lobster

A load of projects from Italian builder Solare, four of them introducing the new Navetta ship like yacht line. The first is the 22 mt Navetta, a new 72 feet ship explorer like motor yacht. Little information is so far available on this Solare flagship project, what we know is that the design is entrusted to architect Antonello Lucio Pontevolpe, who is responsible for all the new Navetta range by Solare. Another option apparently is that the same model is available in bigger 24 metre length model. From my part I would say that this is an interesting novelty as it seems a nice cross over between a motor yacht and an explorer yacht. Another interesting feature is the exterior design which seems taking a lot from the Italian trawler boat, especially to what regards the upper super structure looks. Another design entrusted to Antonello Lucio Pontevolpe as it is for all the new Solare Navetta line. The 68 is a semi displacement explorer yacht with a spacious three cabin three head interior. Submitted standard plans show also an interestingly innovative main deck with a bar upon entrance, spacious lounge saloon and a dining area forward. The galley is located on the lower deck, having next to it the the single crew cabin. Standing in the middle of the Navetta line will be the 60, also as the bigger 68 featuring a semi displacement hull. Accommodation layout is a 3 cabin 2 head interior, with a crew cabin aft. The main deck features a saloon with an Italian layout with a c-shaped settee saloon upon entrance, a a dining table for eight, opposite is the galley and forward we have the interior helm station. The flybridge is also a spacious affair being filled with settees and sun loungers for maximum Al fresco entertainment. The 58 Navetta Semidislocante features a similar layout to the 60, but all in a bit smaller sizes. The lower accommodation deck features the same 3 cabins, 2 head layout with an aft crew cabin and also the main deck and flybridge are similar to the 60. The main difference being the length which for the 60, having an extra two feet, which gains mostly in the aft main deck. Apart from introducing a new range of trawler influenced explorer yachts, Solare continues to upgrade its range of traditional cruisers and yachts with the introduction of the new 51 Lobster. Here we have the concept of Solare, which has always been an upper classic traditional super structure, and more modern hull lines with a deep vee fast hull below. The 51 Lobster will be available in two interior options, a standard 3 cabin 2 head layout and an optional 2 cabin 2 head layout, but in this later option offering a full beam owners cabin.
