Solaris Power 60 Coupé Review (2025 Edition)

Based on the 60 Open, this Coupé version promises year-round cruising in Solaris' inimitable style. Is it a case of both substance and style?

The 60 Coupé takes the proven hull from the 60 Open and adds a wheelhouse for year-round climate-controlled protection. 

With three IPS-only engine options, a host of customisable features and three different deck layouts with two or three cabins, the 60 Coupé offers real versatility and punchy performance with a top speed of 35 knots. Could it be the year-round cruiser you've been looking for?

Performance & Handling

The 60 Coupé uses a hull drawn from the outset for Volvo IPS. The geometry, weight distribution, and structure were designed around pods from the start, and this is evident in the way the boat handles, which is smooth at cruise, tight at low speeds, and easy to live with.

The one we tested had the biggest engine option available - twin Volvo IPS 1350s, delivering 1,000hp per side. Most owners will opt for this package, and the way it performs makes it easy to see why. With these engines running at 1,800rpm, the boat settles into an easy 20-knot cruise, with barely a hint of engine noise reaching the helm. The hull is the same as the open version, already proven in previous sea trials, and with the addition of the hardtop and enclosed wheelhouse, the refinement levels take a clear step up.

There was a steady swell during testing, but the hull handled it with confidence, cutting through cleanly without slamming or crashing. The broad bow on the 60 means there’s no suggestion that it might bury itself in following seas, and the ride feels flat and stable. Steering input is light thanks to the IPS system, and the boat responds quickly. It heels gently into turns and tracks with precision, giving the driver confidence to push on.

One of the biggest benefits of the coupé version is the comfort underway. You’re out of the wind and shielded from the sun, able to run for hours in peace. It doesn’t lose that driver’s boat feeling either. The wheel is new and looks the part, and the driving position is well judged. You can sit or stand with a bolster seat that gives good support when running at speed.

Visibility is excellent through the single-piece windscreen, though the side mullions are thick. Ventilation while underway is fairly limited as, while there’s a sunroof, it’s set behind the helm, and the side doors don’t offer airflow when moving at pace.

It romps through the waves with ease

Cruising at 30 knots, the 60 Coupé offers a range of around 350nm, which is a serious distance for a yacht in this class. Range at cruising speed sits between 300 and 350nm, depending on sea state, payload, and fuel load. With 3,000 litres of fuel onboard, there’s enough reach to cruise with intent, not just run short coastal hops.

That blend of pace, stability and quiet makes it feel like a true long-distance cruiser. It’s nice and comfortable, but still engaging to helm. IPS agility shines when weaving through swell, and the fine entry and flared bow work to keep the ride dry and composed. The dash layout backs it all up with three displays, including a rear camera, so the skipper has full control and visibility whether standing or seated.

Design & Build

The 60 Coupé is at the top of the Solaris Power Coupé line, sharing the same underpinnings as the 60 Open but adding a fully enclosed wheelhouse, creating a boat designed for extended use across seasons and sea states. With solid glazing, a sliding door system, and proper insulation, the Coupé becomes a climate-controlled, sealed environment with the ability to cover distance at speed without being limited by weather.

Solaris-Power-60-Coupe-Review-overhead-deck-layout-showing-sunroof-foredeck-and-aft-cockpit
Even top down the lines are gorgeous

The deck layout keeps the walkaround format Solaris is known for. There are no guardrails, but the side decks are deep and protected by high bulwarks. The cleats, fairleads, and lights are all pop-up or recessed, and the anchor system is completely flush, so hardware doesn't impede that boat's glorious lines. 

Compared to the Solaris 52 Coupé, the 60 carries more beam, more volume, and nearly 4 tonnes of extra displacement. It also offers a tender garage and a full-height engine room. It’s built for longer cruising, longer stays aboard, and longer stints at the helm. 

Solaris-Power-60-Coupe-Review-render-three-quarter-view-showing-exterior-layout
There is a variety of hull and body colours

The hull is a planing deep-V form, designed by Brunello Acampora and developed in tandem with Solaris. It runs a fine entry forward, with a wide flare through the bow to push water clear of the topsides. At the stern, deadrise flattens to around 15.5°, giving a good compromise between wave-cutting and fuel efficiency. 

Construction is GRP throughout, with a solid laminate hull and foam-cored superstructure. Systems are mounted on vibration-damped supports, and the engine bay is heavily insulated, which all adds to the boat's peerless cruising refinement.

Engine Room

Access is through a hatch in the cockpit. You drop down a ladder into the space. Headroom at the forward end is decent, but it's a bit tighter once you get down beside the engines. You won’t want to spend all day in here, but it’s workable.

Three engine options are available. The entry spec uses IPS800s (600hp each), stepping up to IPS950s (725hp) and topping out with IPS1350s (1,000hp each). 

There’s enough room to check levels and carry out the basics without feeling boxed in, and there’s also space here for a Seakeeper if you spec one, though our test boat didn’t have it. Everything feels well-engineered with neat wiring looms and plumbing that are clearly labelled, so it's easy to see what goes where.

There’s an optional solar panel system available too, mostly to top up the domestic batteries. But if you’re running heavy loads, the generator will be doing the work, and fortunately, it’s easy to get to when it needs attention.

Interior Accommodation

Inside, the lower deck layout follows the same logic as the Open, but the atmosphere on the main deck is very different. The wheelhouse provides a comfortable deck saloon with dinette, galley and, of course, the helm station.

The galley is to starboard just inside the door. It’s positioned to serve both the cockpit and saloon with a clean design that feels very solidly put together. There’s an under-counter fridge, induction cooking and space to option a dishwasher, which many owner/operators will be happy to see.  

Items like the sink are hidden beneath a heavy lid, which looks good and keeps the galley looking clean, but there's nowhere to easily stow it when it's not in use, which is annoying. 

There’s another lid just forward of that, and this one hides a surprise. It lifts to reveal dedicated espresso machine stowage, built specifically to hold it in place - confirmation that you are indeed on board a boat designed and built in Italy. There's also a wine fridge neatly integrated into the bar return, so your plonk isn't going to gobble up space in the main fridge. 

To port, opposite the galley on this boat, there’s a day head. It’s not standard, but the owner of the test boat wanted it, and Solaris delivered. That says something about how much flexibility the shipyard allows, but if you don’t have it, you get more galley space and a larger, full-standing fridge, which is what most owners will favour.

Saloon

A single step up from the galley leads into the saloon. There’s a dinette to port with a folding table, and a small sofa opposite. The seating is deep and comfortable and works well for both dining and lounging, which can be a difficult balance to strike.

The table folds out when you want to eat and folds away again without getting in the way, though the base has sharp corners, which are painful to catch a knee on.

The saloon feels bright, helped by the single-piece windscreen and the opening sunroof overhead. That roof doesn’t do much for ventilation while underway, since it sits behind the helm, but it does help pull in light. There’s also a drop-down window on the port side, which adds airflow at anchor. To starboard, behind the sofa, there’s a pop-up television well placed opposite the dinette.

The joinery is solid, and the palette is restrained. It feels like it was built to last rather than keep plenty of functionality while being stylish (not always the case on Italian boats). Storage is tucked into the base of the sofa and along the cabinetry, and there’s a second fridge down here too, under the port-side seating, which again eases the strain on the main galley fridge.

Owner's Cabin

The owner’s cabin on the three-cabin version sits amidships and takes full advantage of the boat’s width. You step down from the saloon and follow the passage aft to a space that opens up gradually, with the hull widening around you until you arrive in a cabin that is well-appointed and spacious.

There’s enough headroom through most of the space to move around without concerns over banging your head. Over the berth, it does tighten, but not so much that you can’t sit up and watch the television, which is mounted on the forward bulkhead in a teak-lined panel that matches the rest of the cabin. The bed sits low and wide, so it's easy to get in and out of.

Storage runs along both sides and includes twin wardrobes with proper hanging space, deep drawers, and open shelves by the berth - more than enough for a long stay on board. Under the bed, there’s more storage, with a full-width drawer that pulls out cleanly. There’s also a built-in bureau to starboard with additional storage underneath, and a small sofa set back on the opposite side.

Guest Accommodation

The VIP cabin is positioned forward and makes full use of the towering bow. The bed is a proper island double, set low enough to climb into without stepping up awkwardly. There is good access on both sides, and the headroom holds up well, even close to the hull sides. Storage includes a wardrobe to starboard, lockers beneath the berth, and shelving along the hull. 

Natural light comes in through the overhead hatch and a pair of hull windows. The cabin feels bright during the day and calm at night, with consistent materials and soft lighting. The finish matches the rest of the interior, with solid trim and warm-toned joinery.

The ensuite is tucked just aft of the cabin. It is fitted with a separate shower stall, a toilet, and a basin with enough counter space for practical use. The rain shower head is a good inclusion, although the controls sit unusually low in the enclosure and feel slightly out of place in an otherwise logical setup. This is also where you find the washer/dryer, which feels a bit of an after thought. 

Solaris-Power-60-Coupe-Review-forward-VIP-cabin-with-central-berth-and-side-windows
The double VIP cabin, forward

Across the passage, the guest cabin to port is arranged with twin single berths. Rather than squeezing bunks into the space, Solaris has built this cabin with flexibility in mind. The forward section includes a desk with a dedicated chair and enough room to use the space as a working area. Shelves and lockers run along the inside wall, and there is a small amount of hanging space at the aft end.

There is a television mounted on the forward bulkhead which swings out to face the beds. The space works well for occasional guests but could just as easily be used as a quiet place to read or work. The cabin shares a bathroom with the VIP. The entrance is close by, and the fit-out mirrors the other spaces on board. It is not over-styled, just clearly built to last and easy to clean.

Crew Accommodation

Access to the crew cabin is through a hatch in the saloon floor. The steps are steep, narrow and almost feel purposely designed to be painful on your feet. 

Once you are down there, not much improves. The space is small and tight, with barely standing headroom if you are close to 6ft tall. The layout includes a pull-out berth, a small sink, and a wet room. There is a little bit of storage beneath the bunk, but there is not much else. The ventilation is minimal, and the finish is basic. It is not somewhere you would want to spend much time, and on a boat that feels so resolved elsewhere, this feels like an area they included because they felt that they had to. 

Solaris knows this is not a space that will see regular use, as most owners will run the boat themselves, and this cabin is here more to tick a box than to house a permanent crew. In practice, it is likely to be used as a storage void. For that purpose, it works well. It is easy to get in and out, and it keeps clutter away from the main living areas.

Helm Station

The helm is positioned high behind a single-piece windscreen that gives a clean, uninterrupted view. The glazing here is free of mullions, so visibility forward remains excellent, even when running through swell.

A side door is set right next to the helm, allowing fast access to the side deck. It’s positioned exactly where it needs to be for short-handed docking and quick line handling, especially useful when coming in stern-to. 

Solaris-Power-60-Coupe-Review-helm-position-with-adjustable-seat-and-forward-visibility
The helm station looks great and is well laid out

The dash is well laid out. There are three large MFDs across the helm, running digital switching, navigation, engine data, and onboard systems. Information is easy to access and quick to cycle through. Camera feeds from the transom and engine room are built in and show up clearly on screen, so you can check the situation astern or below without leaving the helm. Controls are placed logically, and the helm design avoids clutter. There’s also a wireless charging pad recessed into the dash to keep a phone topped up while underway.

Helm seating is solid and supportive, though it’s better suited to standing than sitting. Seated, the position is upright and puts you on the edge of the bench, which isn't very comfortable on longer runs.

One limitation is ventilation. The sunroof overhead brings in light but sits aft of the helm, so it doesn’t provide airflow to the driving position. There’s a small opening window on the port side, but again, it doesn’t do much while underway. The side door can be opened while manoeuvring, but not while cruising, as the mechanism isn't designed to be held ajar. This is quite important on a boat with a wheelhouse; being able to ventilate it easily when cruising makes a big difference to the general comfort on board.

On Deck

The 60 Coupé's design incorporates both a tender garage and a hydraulic bathing platform. Not only does this maintain the boat's sweet lines but it also means you can drop the bathing platform into the water to use a watersports platform without the need to remove a tender. Inside, there's space for a 3m tender with room around that for water toys, so for those who like their watersports, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Cockpit and Dining Area

In the cockpit, the sun pad merges into a U-shaped dinette, which is a good size and has an adjustable backrest that can drop right down to create a sun pad. For those moments when the sun becomes a bit too much, an optional sun shade can be unfurled at the touch of a button to provide some shade.

There's no wetbar here, but that's not such an issue because the galley is so close. There is a sink to port and a unit that contains an optional second joystick. 

It's quite an uncomplicated layout, and one odd decision is that Coupé doesn't have the option of terraces in the cockpit, whereas the Open version of the boat does. If anything, the boat with the enclosed deck would benefit more from the terraces as they provide more deck space, so that feels like a bit of a miss from our point of view.

Plenty of space for guests to sit and dine in the cockpit

Side Decks & Foredeck

There may be no guardrails, but the width of the decks and height of the bulwarks mean it feels perfectly safe to move around the boat. Fender sockets are built into the bulwarks, which look great and make adding and removing fenders easy, but it means you can only mount fenders in certain places.

No words needed. Look at that design

The side decks are side and safe

Given there isn't a flybridge, the foredeck is a really important living area, and it's well designed with a nice mix of sunbathing and seating space (though there isn't a table). You can lie flat or lift the backrest for support, and when they’re all down, you still get a comfortable spot with the windscreen giving just enough shelter. There’s also a small bench right forward, which is a quiet place to sit when the boat is drifting or coming into harbour, but that said, the high bow would be a lovely place to clip along at higher speeds on a warm day. 

It's practical, too. All the anchoring gear is recessed into the foredeck, and the chain locker is deep, with stowage bars built in to keep lines off the floor. The anchor itself is mounted to a pop-out mechanism, so when not in use, it tucks away inside the chain locker. Two lockers at deck level on either side act as steps to clamber on and off the bow but they're also wide enough that they can act as a perch for people to sit and face into the boat.

Value For Money

The base price for the 60 Coupé is €2,107,000 ex VAT, with the smallest engines, but our test boat with some key options, including the largest engines, came in at €2,535,000 ex VAT

This included cost options such as the full beam owner's cabin (€22,300), additional day head on deck (€11,700) and the crew cabin (€26,800). 

Our Options & Pick

The crew cabin is definitely an area where you could save some money. It's really not that usable, so it would be better to save the money and use it as a storage area. 

We'd opt for the larger engines (both for performance and for resale) and the albeit expensive gyroscopic stabiliser. For Med-style mooring, the aft camera and second joystick in the cockpit are must-haves. 

In terms of layout, the two doubles and twin/study of our test boat work really well and offer a good balance of space between the cabins and some flexibility with the third cabin options. 

Our Verdict

In a world of increasingly sharper angles and more slab-sided styling, the 60 Coupé stands out in all the best ways. The addition of the wheelhouse turns it from a fair-weather cruiser into a proper all-season boat that can cruise at speed in quiet and comfort. It is not without faults. The crew cabin is too tight to use properly, the helm lacks ventilation and there are a few squeaks and rattles from the interior but despite these drawbacks, the 60 Coupé still has plenty to like.

Rivals to Consider

The Palm Beach PB55 combines classic Downeast lines with carbon-infused composite construction to deliver remarkable speed and range. With optional IPS 1200s it hits 40 knots, cruises at 33, and burns less fuel doing it than any rival here. It’s quiet, stable, and built like a monocoque, which contributes to its soft ride. The warped hull isn’t deep-V but handles chop with a fine bow entry and stays flat at speed. The layout is traditional and elegant, with teak joinery and a choice of two or three cabins. It lacks a crew space and doesn’t match Solaris for rough-weather capability, but makes up for that with long legs, minimal wake, and refinement. Owners after classic looks and sharp efficiency over showy features will appreciate what it offers.

Astondoa 677 Coupé aims straight at the style-conscious buyer. The 677 Coupé delivers bold design, big volume, and layout flexibility. There’s a choice of three or four guest cabins, with room for crew, and interior fit-out by Cristiano Gatto. IPS1350s push it to 34 knots, though shaft-drive MANs are also offered for traditionalists. Handling is solid and sporty, and the ride is fast but built for the Med rather than heavy weather. Fold-out beach platforms are absent, but a big cockpit, wide sunroof and aggressive looks give it real presence. The build is heavier than Solaris, but with more interior space and Mediterranean flash. Buyers looking for flair and customisation over offshore edge will find plenty to like.

The Tiara EX60 takes the American approach - spacious, practical and feature-rich. With IPS1350s as standard, top speed is 36-38 knots and cruising sits around 26. Shallow draft makes it ideal for Florida or island hopping. The main deck is full of smart touches: fold-down terraces, an aft galley that opens to the cockpit, and modular lounge furniture. Below decks are three cabins, two heads and a finish that leans modern-coastal. It doesn’t have a crew cabin, and range is shorter than Solaris due to smaller tanks. The EX60 is less about crossing weather fronts and more about anchoring in comfort, entertaining, and making life aboard easy. For owner-operators who prize user-friendliness and dayboat features, it’s a compelling option.
