1989 Solaris Yachts Suncrest 46

The Solaris 46 was designed for crossing oceans and enjoying your time while at anchor. The salon is simply massive. The settee extends the full width for lots of space for lounging and entertaining when in port.

When you step down into the starboard hull, there is storage on the outer hull as well as a desk space on the interior with storage above and engine access below. Forward is a head with a sink, shower, and toilet leading into the forward cabin. The forward cabin has a double V-berth, with plenty of storage throughout. In the aft of the starboard hull is the full-sized galley.

The port hull could be considered the entire owner’s cabin. There is lots of accessible storage in the center on the interior and exterior of the hull with engine access under the desk. Aft is the larger, owner’s cabin with a queen-sized bed, settee, and storage throughout. In the forward hull is the head with vanity sink and further forward the marine toilet.

The large galley is located at the aft end of the starboard hull. There is an amazing amount of storage, as well as everything you need for preparing meals, is close at hand. Besides venting, there is a large opening hatch at the stern and two smaller hatches to allow for great ventilation and a cross breeze as well as views for the chef.

As well, the alternators have been set up to charge all batteries from either engine, independently or in combination.

If you have not driven a catamaran before they are amazingly maneuverable. With limited windage and propellers offset by so far, you can slowly and precisely maneuver this boat in close quarters with incredible control.

A catamaran’s deck becomes an extension of the living space and on this Solaris 46, there is plenty of space.

The cockpit has two comfortable captain chairs at the helm station and the cockpit itself is very spacious with plenty of room for additional seating or lounge chairs. Aft of the cockpit is an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ as well as a sink, making it a great place to prepare your catch of the day.

Up front, there are multiple, deep storage hatches for holding lots of equipment including two large sail lockers. The forward trampolines are also a very fun place to relax.

There is a reason why catamarans are so popular and living space is one of them.
