Why this pair
Both are flybridge yachts built for comfortable cruising rather than outright speed, on twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200s with a 22 to 24 knot top end. The SX76 is about 2.5 m longer and 0.6 m wider; the Solaris publishes more of its numbers, including range.

Solaris Power's spec table gives 24 knots top and 18 knots cruise for the optional IPS 1350s, while its headline counter shows 27 knots, and it doesn't publish speeds for the standard IPS 1200s. Sanlorenzo's current SX76 page publishes only length, beam, tanks, engines, top speed and accommodation (configuration A), so the rest is shown as not published. Metric figures are as published; confirm the specification of any particular yacht with the builder.
Deck and flybridge
- 70 Long Range: Solaris says no 70-footer has a roomier cockpit. Add a beach area aft that works lifted or semi-submerged, a horseshoe lounge on the foredeck and side decks all the way forward.
- SX76: a high bow and slim stern, a bow lounge and a flybridge with lounge seating, dining and the helm under a hardtop.
- Options: Solaris offers two flybridge and four aft-deck layouts, so you can trade seating for sunpads.
Saloon and galley
- 70 Long Range: the saloon side opens up with a fold-out bulwark and fully opening windows. There's a large galley, a 3.2 m sofa and plenty of storage.
- SX76: one continuous open space wrapped in glass, with natural light, soft tones and a round dining table.
Cabins
- 70 Long Range: a full-beam master and a VIP forward, three guest cabins as standard (a fourth is optional) and a crew cabin.
- SX76: accommodation for eight guests and two crew, with an owner's cabin, guest cabins and a lower-deck lounge.
- Layouts: Solaris offers four cabin layouts (A to D); ask Sanlorenzo which SX76 arrangement a particular yacht has.
Performance and range
- 70 Long Range: twin IPS 1200s as standard, or IPS 1350s for 24 knots top and 18 cruise. Solaris says the hull cruises steadily in displacement mode without needing stabilizers, for about 700 nm at 10 knots.
- SX76: twin IPS 1200s and 22 knots top, with 4,350 L of fuel. Ask for cruise and range figures from a sea trial.
Ownership and resale
- IPS service: both run Volvo Penta IPS, which is well supported in South Florida. Ask for the service records and the hours on each engine.
- Toys: the Solaris has a garage for a 4 m jet tender; check how any SX76 carries its tender.
- Draft: the Solaris draws 1.49 m on IPS 1200s. Sanlorenzo doesn't publish the SX76's, so confirm it at survey.
- Fuel burn: Solaris credits its hull shape and weight balance for low consumption. Ask for real figures on a sea trial of either yacht.
- Resale: condition, engine package, service records and options matter most on yachts in this size range.
