Hello:

We are new Owners of the Solara 310SB that was unveiled at the Palm Beach Boat Show 2025 on March 2025. I believe it is the first and only one in Florida so far- ask SHANE about this-.

We got it thru Pocket Yacht Company in Jensen Beach on April 2025-Captain Robert Tolbert was in charge of it.

This photo was taken by a fellow boater on a CW sport boat that fell in love with our boat while we cruised at the Stuart FL Sandbar for the first time on May 2025. It was our first adventure on the water around other boaters. We turn head everywhere we go.

It is the new model Solara 310SB, Named VANISSA 1984, owned by my wife Dr. Vanessa Nieves-Chico.

We owed this boat early delivery to Shane from the factory when he announced to us at the Palm Beach Boat Show that we can keep this boat after unveiling this new model after Boat Show. That way we didnt have to wait til the end of the year for the delivery of a new built one. Shane is a great guy to hang around anytime.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dr. Geovanny Chico
Dr. Vanessa Nieves-Chico

We are very happy with this boat....
