Thirty knots at cruise, sixty at the top. She settles into a long, confident stride.
The twin step hull is the difference. It is designed to reduce wetted surface at speed, trimming drag and softening the ride compared with a flatter planing bottom. Twin Mercury Verado 450R engines come as standard, with a Triple Mercury Verado 400 or Quad Mercury Verado 300 package available for owners who want more top end or simply more redundancy offshore. A 1,400 litre fuel load returns a 300 nautical mile range, enough for a full day’s running with margin to spare, while the shallow 0.9 metre draught keeps shoreline options open.
She reads as a sportier, more finished evolution of the Open, built for guests as much as speed.
The twin step hull gives the profile a lower, purposeful stance, and Midnight Express’s in-house team has used that platform to open up the aft deck considerably, creating what owners consistently describe as a bigger party area than earlier models offered. A panoramic sunroof is available for owners who want natural light through the console without exposing the helm, and gyro stabilisation can be specified for a steadier ride at rest. Colour matched paint on the engines, available as an option, finishes the look at the transom.
The aft deck is the Solstice’s calling card: bigger, better finished, and built for a crowd.
Day space for eight is arranged around an enlarged party area at the stern, a deliberate departure from the more compact layouts of earlier Midnight Express models. Optional gyro stabilisation keeps the space steady at anchor, and an available panoramic sunroof brings natural light into the console without sacrificing shelter. Custom, colour matched paintwork on the engines, available as an option, carries the finish from the water right through to the transom. It is a deck designed for entertaining first, speed second, without losing either.
Two cabins, four berths, and noticeably more room to enjoy them than the layout first suggests.
Owners and reviewers alike have noted the Solstice feels larger below deck than her 43 foot length implies, the result of a cabin arrangement reworked for comfort rather than packed purely for berths. She sleeps four across two well finished cabins, with a single crew member able to manage the boat and her guests. It is accommodation built for a weekend away rather than an extended voyage, matched to a yacht whose real life happens on deck and at speed.
Comfort built on a genuine performance platform. The Solstice does not have to choose between the two.
She measures 13.1 metres overall on a 3.7 metre beam, with a 0.9 metre draught and a 300 nautical mile range from her 1,400 litre tank. Two cabins sleep four guests, with day space for eight and a single crew member able to run the boat. Built entirely in-house by Midnight Express, from naval architecture through to engineering, she gives an owner who wants more than a stripped out console, panoramic sunroofs, gyro stabilisation and a genuinely sociable aft deck, without losing the 60 knot top end that defines the range.
