A great charter boat gives everyone their own best seat.

The bow for sun. The flybridge for the view. The cockpit for lunch. The swim steps for disappearing into blue water.

Solara is large enough to feel effortless and personal enough to still feel like your boat. Move with the day, or find one place and refuse to leave it.

THE WHOLE BOAT

At anchor, Solara becomes the destination.

Music on, lunch open, paddleboards down and no reason to rush ashore.

THREE WAYS TO TAKE THE BOAT

The same Solara.
A different kind of day.

Every charter is private. Pick the shape that feels right and the crew will adjust the route around weather, water and appetite.

Things worth
knowing.

Clear answers, before you have to ask.

Is Solara completely private?+

Yes. Every charter is exclusively for your group, with your captain and host.

Is food included?+

Fresh lunch is included on full days, with lighter plates on half-day and sunset charters. We happily plan around dietary requirements.

Can we choose the route?+

Absolutely. Your ideas, the day’s conditions and the crew’s local knowledge shape the final route together.

None at all. Solara is fully crewed. You can help at the helm if you want—or never lift a finger.
