About Solaria
A family fleet,
run like a hotel
Twelve years, six yachts and one obsession: days at sea that feel effortless from the first coffee to the last sunset.
Our story
It started with one boat and a stubborn standard
Captain Mara Ellingsen bought a tired 60-footer, rebuilt her plank by plank, and refused to take a single booking until everything — engines, linen, playlists — was perfect.
Word spread. One yacht became six, and the rule never changed: if it isn’t good enough for our own family, it doesn’t sail with guests. Today the Ellingsen family still walks every deck, every morning.
