The new Polaris 48, 48 meters long, with a maximum beam of 9 meters has an EHPH (Eco High Power Hull) displacement hull for long-range navigation and reduced consumption and will be followed by the Polaris 38 and the Super Polaris 60 The engines will be two 1650 Man V12s, the expected range is approximately 4,000 miles at 10 knots and the maximum speed of 16 knots. The shipyard is also carrying out some research to propose hybrid propulsion as an alternative to traditional engines.

As for the interior design, Parisotto + Formenton Architects have designed bright interiors with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which favor the use of natural materials rich in tactile connotations which include teak, carbon, bronze, glass and brass.
In line with the studio's design philosophy, the lines of the interiors and custom furnishings recall the marine atmosphere: in fact the design has a highly contemporary language, but with a clear marine appeal with an extremely careful selection of materials and finishes that it enhances the tactile and aesthetic value of the material and the refinement of the workmanship, for a result of timeless elegance. The presence of different essences underlines the difference between the large spaces for shared and social moments, which are lighter and brighter, and the more private areas of the cabins, which are darker and more restful. The windows were designed never to be opened as much as possible for a continuous dialogue with light and panorama which makes interiors and exteriors unique for enjoying the sea at 360°.
