Delivered by Benetti in 1995 and refitted from bow to stern between 2023 and 2025, SOLAFIDE has been brought firmly into the modern era. While her profile remains unmistakably Benetti, it has been refined under the eye of Tommaso Spadolini, and nearly every element beneath the surface has been renewed, including a full repaint, rebuilt engines, upgraded systems, and reconfigured interior spaces. The deck areas have also been rethought, with a reimagined aft lounge that makes use of her fold-down bulwarks, and a sundeck now capable of supporting helicopter operations. With a steel hull and a 4,600-nautical mile range, SOLAFIDE is a thoroughly renewed Benetti built for serious cruising.
SOLAFIDE welcomes up to 12 guests in six beautifully appointed cabins, each designed to adapt to families, couples, or charter groups. The main deck master was completely redesigned during the refit and features a private office/lounge that can be converted into a media room or an adjoining kids cabin, along with a walk-in wardrobe and a his-and-hers marble bathroom. A new VIP suite was added during the refit, while the lower deck hosts four additional guest cabins: two doubles and two twins, one of which converts to a double. Both twins include Pullman berths, and each cabin features an en suite, high-quality joinery, and generous storage. A soft, neutral palette and large windows fill the cabins with natural light. Crew accommodation for 12 is smartly positioned forward, with a private mess and galley access to maintain guest privacy and efficient service.
Over the past two years, SOLAFIDE has undergone a transformative, multi-million-euro refit that earned her a nomination for ‘Best Refit of the Year’ (499GT and below) at the 2025 World Superyacht Awards.
