About this boat
Experience the pinnacle of speed and luxury aboard the Midnight Express 43 Solstice, a 43-foot high-performance center console yacht built in 2022 by Midnight Express, a leader in semi-custom center consoles. This day yacht redefines offshore boating with its twin-step hull design, class-leading 12'6" beam, and blistering speeds exceeding 90 mph when powered by quint Mercury Racing 500R engines.
Unlike traditional yachts with cabins, the 43 Solstice is designed as a luxurious day yacht perfect for cruising from Miami to the Florida Keys or island-hopping in the Bahamas and BVI. While some listings may mention 17 guests, verified specs indicate capacity is not listed as 17, and the vessel is optimized for smaller, discerning groups seeking an exhilarating day boating experience.
Key Features of the Midnight Express 43 Solstice
- Performance: Powered by 5x450hp Mercury Racing outboards (or optional quint 500R), achieving top speeds of 90 mph+ with fuel efficiency over 1.2 mpg at 40 mph.
- Design: Twin-step hull with 22-degree deadrise ensures smooth rides in choppy water, while the 12'6" beam provides exceptional space and stability.
- Luxury Amenities: Features a spacious bow lounge with a hidden table, a comfortable cabin with a queen berth and full galley (refrigerator, sink, optional microwave), and an enclosed separate head.
- Navigation: State-of-the-art navigation equipment and Optimus steering with Side Power bow thruster for precise handling.
With 450 gallons of fuel capacity and 75 gallons of water capacity, the 43 Solstice is ready for extended offshore adventures.
