From October 1 to 6, 2026, Solemar returns to the Genoa International Boat Show with a range that tells the story of the brand’s evolutionary path and its contemporary interpretation of the Italian Maxi RIB. The shipyard will be present in the water at Dock H, berths 301-307, within the Yachts & Superyachts – Super Boat Area. This space is dedicated to larger Maxi RIBs and luxury tenders, adjacent to the area reserved for superyachts. A position that accompanies Solemar’s progressive positioning in the premium segment of recreational boating.
Solemar models in Genoa
The lineup displayed in Genoa will include the SX25, SX30, SE30, and SE33 models, through which the shipyard interprets different ways of experiencing the sea. Among the range’s new features will be the SX25 Allure powered by a Mercury V8 250. With a length of 7.80 meters, the model brings the characteristic elements of the SX family into a compact format, combining versatility, living space, and performance.
Alongside the SX25 will be the SE30 Classic equipped with twin Honda BF250 engines. The new model belongs to the SE – Solemar Elegance line and is conceived to prioritize comfort and onboard livability, with a stronger vocation for navigation and cruising.
Particularly significant will be the presence of the SE33 in a custom configuration, equipped with twin Yamaha F300 engines and built according to its owner’s specifications. The boat concretely represents one of the aspects on which Solemar is building its renewed offering: the ability to customize the configuration through tailored fittings, materials, finishes, and solutions.
Completing the main lineup will be the SX30 Classic, powered by twin Mercury FourStroke 300 engines. This model represents the daily boat of the Solemar range and interprets the concept of versatility in a contemporary key.
The design of the SX30 is characterized by defined and harmonious lines, while the asymmetrical layout, a distinctive brand feature, facilitates side passage and allows for more efficient use of onboard space. A design solution aimed at combining functionality and ergonomics in daily use.
However, Solemar’s presence at the Genoa Boat Show 2026 is not limited to the shipyard’s stand. A fifth model, the SX27 Classic, will be displayed at the Honda stand powered by a Honda BF350 engine.
Customization as a design element
One of the key elements emerging from the Genoa lineup is the role attributed to customization. The goal is to make the uniqueness of the vessel a central element of the design process, combining Italian design, functionality, comfort, and performance. The ability to adapt the configuration to the owner’s needs fits into the broader relaunch plan initiated by Solemar, which focuses on expanding the range and consolidating the brand in the premium segment.
The supply chain also reflects this approach. The shipyard mainly involves specialized Italian companies and artisans, flanked by international partners for components featuring higher technological content. The objective is to merge manufacturing expertise and innovation, maintaining special attention to detail. Solemar intends to build its contemporary proposal on this synthesis between Italian craftsmanship and technology.
From historical heritage to a new international phase
Solemar’s return to Genoa also represents an important step in the brand’s relaunch journey. Solemar is a historic name in Italian boating, born in the 1980s and established in the 1990s as an interpreter of cabin RIBs and high-end RIBs in general. Since 2022, the brand has been relaunched by Solemar Italia Srl, based in Nembro (Bergamo), through an investment plan aimed at enhancing its heritage and developing a new proposal for the contemporary market.
The current range is divided into two families: SX – Solemar Offshore, dedicated to performance-oriented open models, and SE – Solemar Elegance, developed to prioritize volume, comfort, and cruising livability. Two different interpretations of the same Maxi RIB concept, united by attention to safety, ergonomics, sportiness, and build quality.
“For us, the Genoa Boat Show is not a simple industry showcase, but a true proving ground,” comments Francesco Ribolini, CEO of Solemar Italia. “We arrive in Genoa with a range that expresses our evolution: new models, new configuration possibilities, and a Maxi RIB concept increasingly oriented toward quality, comfort, and customization. We want to maintain the DNA that made Solemar a recognizable name in Italian boating, taking it toward a new phase of growth and openness to international markets. We are here to demonstrate that nautical Made in Italy is not a passive legacy to be guarded, but a living energy to be evolved every day. For this reason, on the occasion of the Show, we will present the strategic and marketing vision with which we will face 2027, sharing with those who project our brand onto the market a growth path made of substance, character, and a new idea of freedom on the sea.”
Efficiency and focus on sustainability
The evolution of the range also concerns the topic of efficiency. Solemar is working on the optimization of hulls and the selection of materials and design solutions that can contribute to reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact. Added to this is a growing focus on boat durability and the use of innovative materials. This path accompanies product evolution without changing the brand’s original vocation: building Maxi RIBs capable of combining safety, performance, and comfort with increasing customization options.
Conclusions
Solemar’s presence at the Genoa Boat Show 2026 represents a moment of synthesis for the path taken in recent years. The displayed range brings together new and consolidated models, standard and custom configurations, various engine setups, and two different design interpretations. For Solemar, the Ligurian Show will also be an opportunity to present its strategic and marketing vision ahead of 2027, within the framework of a growth project that also looks to international markets.
