SOLARIS
139.7m of Luxury, Innovation & Engineering Excellence
Introducing Solaris, a 139.7-meter superyacht built by Lloyd Werft in Germany and delivered in 2021. This yacht is the flagship of the shipyard and ranks among the largest private yachts in the world. The design was created by the legendary Marc Newson, combining cutting-edge technology, modern style, and unparalleled luxury.
Currently, Solaris is registered under the Cook Islands flag. The yacht is in the top 5% of the world by length and has a gross tonnage 4149 GT above average for yachts of similar size.
Solaris is powered by a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system with two 9 MW Azipod drives, offering unmatched efficiency and maneuverability. The yacht reaches a top speed of 18 knots and cruises at 15 knots, while maintaining a reduced environmental footprint.
The steel hull and aluminum superstructure provide strength and stability. Solaris can carry over 100,000 gallons of fuel, allowing long-range journeys without limitations.
Valued at $600 million, Solaris has annual running costs of $50–60 million, including crew salaries, insurance, fuel, docking fees, and technical maintenance.

My personal journey with this yacht spans over four years. When I first arrived in Turkey, I saw Solaris on the water — an unforgettable sight, with sunlight reflecting off her mirrored sides. The yacht instantly captured my heart.
Over the years, I watched her in the marina — motionless, like a sleeping princess. I would come to have tea beside her, feeling like Holly Golightly, the heroine of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and each visit deepened the connection.
Today, after all these years, I feel part of Solaris’ team. Every photo I take is a reflection of my closeness to the yacht, understanding her scale, lines, and character. Each shot conveys her majesty, luxury, and unique spirit, making Solaris a true icon of maritime engineering and design.
