M/Y SOLEMATES recently underwent sea trials where she exceeded her contractual expectations to reach a top speed of 15.5 knots using her Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), with a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 13 knots.
Van Oossanen produced her naval architecture while Omega Architects created her exterior appearance, opting for a white and grey hull with a dark waterline, and a matching superstructure in white. Bannenberg & Rowell styled her interiors, which provide up to 12 guests with six beautiful en-suite cabins across three decks, the highlight of which is the 82m²/882.6ft² Owner’s suite with walk-in-wardrobes and its own private study.

One of the highlights on board is the beach club with its wellness centre, which connects to the lower deck swim platform for effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The main alfresco dining area is aft of the bridge deck, while the sundeck is furnished with a Jacuzzi, sunpads and a bar.
Superyacht SOLEMATES will now cruise the Mediterranean.
Sistership PROJECT POLLUX is currently under construction and is due for completion before the end of 2020.
