Featuring incredible innovations and technology, Solace boats are quickly becoming the craft of choice for many. If you haven't heard of Solace, you've more than likely heard of its founders, Stephen and Sarah Dougherty.
Stephen was the founder of EdgeWater and Everglade boats, and his latest venture, Solace, lets him push new boundaries and explore his passion for boat design and construction.
Available with inboard and outboard motor propulsion, Solace boats feature a mix of traditional materials and appearance, with more exotic materials such as carbon fiber. They also use a material called Cerakote, which is ceramic-based and prevents dings and dents on areas that need protecting.
Center console boats for sport fishing, saltwater fishing, or just recreation are their specialty, and you can get a Solace boat that’s sized for you. Not everyone needs an area below deck with a bed and full bathroom, but you can have that if you want.
And how about power? The larger models from Solace can be had with well north of 1,000 horsepower. There’s not much you can’t run down with a Solace boat. As you’d expect, this speed doesn’t come at the expense of smoothness.
The Doughertys’ commitment to next-generation materials and design means that you get a hull capable of maintaining stability at any speed while giving you the smoothest ride possible.
The Doughertys are also innovators, with new designs like their Solace 345 model. The 345 features a Fish-Thru transom that gives owners a cockpit area for fishing right between the outboard motors. Thanks to digital steering, this space that's usually taken by the motors is given back to the occupants.
