SOLUS

SOLUS is a 53-metre custom steel displacement yacht built by Oceanco in 1997 and refitted in 2025, with exterior design by Richard Hein and The A Group, and interiors by Therese Baron Gurney. Oceanco is a Dutch shipyard whose construction values align closely with the Feadship tradition — a focus on structural precision, long-term reliability, and bespoke execution. The 2025 refit is significant, placing her among the most recently updated vessels in the classic superyacht category and ensuring that the gap between a late 1990s hull and current guest expectations has been addressed with modern investment.

Carrying 12 guests across six cabins with a crew of 12, SOLUS offers a one-to-one crew ratio that reflects the private-ownership origins of the vessel and the service standards those origins typically establish. She is well suited to experienced charter clients who value an Oceanco pedigree, a substantive recent refit, and a vessel whose character has been formed over nearly three decades of considered ownership. Her charter regions centre on the Mediterranean: Greece, Turkey, Croatia, France, the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Monaco, Montenegro, and Mykonos. A range of 3,600 nautical miles supports regional repositioning without difficulty. She is less suited to guests whose priorities are exclusively contemporary design or the amenity density of a purpose-built charter yacht of recent construction.

Therese Baron Gurney's interior work is known for a personal, residential quality that distinguishes yachts in the classic category from the more generic output of volume yards. The 2025 refit represents an opportunity to carry those interior values forward alongside upgraded systems and finishes. The deck jacuzzi, gym with equipment, exterior bar, sun deck with sunpads, swimming platform, and stabilisers at anchor and underway form an amenity foundation appropriate for extended Mediterranean cruising.

Water sports aboard SOLUS include Sea-Doo jet-skis, F9 Seabobs, paddleboards, water-skiing, towable toys, inflatable toys, and snorkelling equipment — a practical selection for a mixed group. Video on demand, satellite television, and Wi-Fi provide entertainment infrastructure, while the exterior bar and sun deck create natural gathering points for evening anchorages. As a charter yacht, SOLUS offers a specific and coherent proposition: Oceanco quality, deep investment, and interiors shaped by a designer who works in a personal rather than corporate register.
