Silent 60 launched in Thailand

• May 25, 2021

Built near Pattaya, the first hull of the Silent 60 ushers in a new generation of solar-electric catamarans from the Austrian-owned brand.

Silent-Yachts has launched the first hull of its Silent 60, while eight more hulls are currently under construction among a total of 17 orders. The first unit was built at the PMG Shipyard in Rayong, Thailand, where several more hulls are being built, while others are under construction in Silent’s facilities in Italy. The yacht has an overall length of 59ft and a beam of 29ft 6in.

The first hull has been built with a 13sqm kite wing from Wingit and operates at such heights – it has a 150m line length – that it generates up to 10 times more power [per square metre] than a conventional sail , according to Silent-Yachts . The standard kite wing is 9sqm.

The kite can pull the 30-tonne Silent 60 with about 4-5 knots, so reducing the consumption of the e-motors and extending the range. The kite-sail system is stored in the bow and is an option on all new Silent models, which also include the 62 3-deck, 80 and 80 3-deck.

“The kite system sounds like the perfect match for windy days together with the electric propulsion system of Silent-Yachts . I am an enthusiast of new technologies which help, little by little, to overcome the ecological challenges we are facing today,” said the German owner of the first Silent 60, who will also make the boat available for charter after it has been delivered to Mallorca, Spain.

“I have decided to rent the boat on a daily or weekly basis to anybody who is interested in trying out this wonderful yacht for a day trip or for a longer holiday with flexible routings.”

The Silent 60 has a new high-performance hull form with a reverse bow, while signature details include long window stripes on the hull sides and more window surface overall. The 42 solar panels on the roof of the superstructure and hardtop produce 17kWp, compared to 30 panels and 10.8kWp on the Silent 55.

Michael Köhler, founder and CEO of Silent-Yachts, said: “I want to congratulate our entire team on this successful project. The Silent 60 is the first example of a new generation of solar-electric catamarans that we produce and many more will follow. We are happy to provide sustainable, emission-free solutions for yachting enthusiasts that want to make the world a better place.”

The yacht’s social areas include an aft cockpit, a saloon with up to 2.3m of headroom, bow seating and a flybridge. The Silent 60 offers flexible accommodation and the first unit has a spacious master suite and three other guest cabins on the lower deck.

The Silent 60 has a draft of less than 1m, which allows it to reach shallower bays, important in areas like the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. The two swim platforms can optionally be extended by 90cm upon the owner’s request. In this case, the boat may carry a pair of electric jet-skis, while additional water toys, SUPs, kayaks and e-bikes can be stored in the bridge deck.

A liftable hydraulic platform located between the two swim platforms can also be enlarged from the standard 3.7m x 1.7m to 4m x 2.4m to carry a larger tender, up to 4m and 350 kg.

The Silent 60 is equipped with the company’s aeration system, which provides cool and fresh air to all cabins, heads and the saloon. The airflow in each space is individually adjustable and can be used when the weather conditions require the windows to be closed. In addition, a reverse-cycle heat-pump system heats the interior when necessary, ensuring all-season comfort.

A water-maker powered by the solar-electric system and all on-board appliances operate on the 220/110-volt system. The galley has refrigerator and freezer space and an efficient induction cooktop, precluding the need for carrying propane.

T he CE-A certified yacht can cruise efficiently for up to 100 miles a day for weeks, while powering all onboard systems without the need of fuel to power a generator. The yacht’s cruising speed is 6-8 knots, with a top speed of 20 knots. www.silent-yachts.com

Greener and Better: the Silent 60

• By Chris Caswell
• December 16, 2022

If there was any question that the “Tesla moment” has arrived in yachting, the Silent 60 clearly provides a positive response.

Consider, for a moment, crossing oceans in silence at 5 to 6 knots without consuming a drop of fuel and never needing to plan your course between fuel stops. Imagine sitting at anchor and running the air conditioning all night, not to mention all the galley appliances plus the washer-dryer, without the hum or fumes from a genset.

During my time aboard the Silent-Yachts 60, the electric yacht cruised easily at 8 knots. When I whipped out my sound meter, it barely registered 52 decibels, which is about the sound of a dishwasher. The Silent monitors at the helm showed we were charging our 286 kWh lithium batteries at more wattage than we were using to spin the 340 kW motors, so we were ahead of the power-usage game—and this was in South Florida rain under a solid cloud layer. Had we upped the ante to the yacht’s top speed of 20 knots, it would have been drawing from rather than adding to the batteries, but the speed capability gives skippers the option to outrun weather (or just get to the best moorings first).

The Silent 60 is a catamaran design for several reasons. First, the twin hulls are easily driven to minimize the power needed. Second, with nearly 30 feet of beam, there is enough deck area for the solar panels needed to create power.

Buyers can choose as many as six staterooms, each en suite with stall showers and nearly king-size berths. The salon also uses that beam well, providing bowling-alley space under 7-foot-6-inch headroom. With the Silent 60, the interior is basically a blank sheet, allowing buyers to tailor the layout to their cruising needs.

As for the engine rooms, NASA could take a page from Silent-Yachts: Everything is precisely labeled, placed for easy access and surgery-suite spotless. Externally, the Silent 60 is striking, with reversed bows and black graphic slashes on the topside that conceal dark-tinted windows (which provide bright, airy interiors to the staterooms). What catches the eye most, however, are the 42 solar panels that cover every inch of the cabin top as well as the hardtop over the flybridge. Produced by SunPower in California, these panels feed power to a lithium battery pack reportedly good for 3,000 charge cycles—or an estimated 35 years of normal boating use.

The Silent 60 I got aboard, which was Hull No. 3, had a four-stateroom layout. A larger stateroom forward in the starboard hull served as the master, with an athwartships berth, settee and built-in vanity. This yacht also had a walk-through Dutch door forward in the salon next to the helm, leading to settees on the foredeck as well as providing salon ventilation. Another benefit of the door for short-handed cruisers is quick access to the anchor gear under the foredeck.

Owners can sacrifice the forward door in favor of a forward master stateroom with a king berth just a couple of steps below the salon and an en suite head in the starboard hull. An intriguing design feature is the two outward-facing “window seats” indented into the stateroom on each side deck, which would make a wonderful spot at anchor with a good book.

The salon has a fixed dining table that easily seats eight people on the wraparound settee. There also are loose chairs and a pad just forward for lounging. The helm is raised one step and has twin Simrad multifunction displays plus the Silent systems monitor, all easily understood.

Aft and to port, the U-shaped galley has a dishwasher as well as a full-height fridge to starboard. The fridge setup may change to a pair of undercounter drawer fridges on future boats for easier access and to eliminate a blind spot for the skipper.

Abaft the galley, a window slides open for easy pass-through to the cockpit to serve whatever the cooks have prepared using the Hafele four-burner, two-zone cooktop.

The Silent 60 is a work in progress, and additional changes might be on the way, such as the addition of twin berths that slide together, and a different location for what is now the midsalon washer-dryer (in a console abaft the helm). This hull was built in Thailand, but production is moving to Italy.

Still, the yacht has exceedingly clever design ideas, such as the hinged hardtop on the bridge. The top lowers electrically to seal off the bridge from the weather as well as keep the solar cells from being shadowed. The bridge itself is conventional, with a double-wide helm seat to port that reverses to create wraparound seating for the dining table, and double lounge pads for relaxing, not sunning, since the solar panels take up every bit of sun space.

The cockpit has a settee and an L-shaped table. A hydraulic swim platform is available in varying widths to handle up to a 13-foot tender without impinging on the platforms on either hull. Silent-Yachts also gets points for good walk-around decks protected by toe kicks as well as welded stainless-steel rails.

The Silent 60 is on the leading edge of a greener yachting experience. For cruisers who are looking to lessen their carbon footprint while enjoying some quietude at sea, this yacht is worth serious consideration. 

Built for Safety

Future Silent 60s from Italy will have fully resin-infused fiberglass sandwich construction with carbon reinforcements in high-stress areas. Each of the hulls has watertight bulkheads, sealed floors and three collision compartments for enhanced safety. The foam sandwich core provides thermal and sound insulation.

Kite Sailing

One option available on the Silent 60 is a kite-wing propulsion system using a collapsing mast and hidden winch to fly a 140-square-foot sail. (By comparison, a Laser sail is 76 square feet.) With open ocean breezes of 17 to 21 knots, the builder says the kite can power the Silent 60 at 6 to 7 knots alone, or it can bump the speed with motors to go faster than the usual 8-knot cruise speed. 

Big Sisters

In addition to the Silent-Yachts 60, the boatbuilder has 62-, 80- and 120-foot electric power cats available for owners looking for something bigger. Additionally, it recently started work on the hybrid-powered Silent VisionF 82.

Silent Yachts

The tesla of boats: silent yachts ramps up production of its electric catamarans.

Silent Yachts, which has been described as the “Tesla of the seas”, is ramping up production of its electric catamarans.

The company now has 10 boats under construction and they are increasing production capacity to be able to produce dozens of electric boats a year.

That may not sound like a lot, but boat production can be a slow process and is difficult to deploy at scale for larger vessels like the Silent Yachts electric catamarans.

They have been delivering electric catamarans for years and now have a full line up of three boats: 55-ft, 60-ft, and 80-ft.

These boats are all powered by solar power and batteries.

Depending on the size, they can produce between 10 and 26 kW of solar power and be equipped with 150 to 532 kWh of battery capacity.

The latter is the equivalent in energy capacity of more than 5 Tesla Model S sedans.

Silent Yachts can be solely powered by clean energy with the solar panels and batteries feeding electric motors or use a generator depending on your type of use.

Here the company produced a video showing a typical use case of a Silent Yacht:

Silent Yachts has now delivered 11 electric yachts that are currently on the water, but they are seeing strong demand and ramping up production.

Plugboats reports:

“To meet demand, Silent-Yachts has new shipyards in Thailand and Italy. The Asian yard, about 220 km from Bangkok, is led by Swiss entrepreneur Philippe Guénat and is the largest privately-owned shipyard in South East Asia. In Fano, Italy, a series of Silent 60s are now under construction and a second line is being set up to provide capacity for building 15 Silent 60s a year.”

On top of those 15 Silent 60s, the company is currently building one Silent 55, its entry-level boat, and 4 Silent 80s, its biggest vessel.

Starting at roughly $2 million, we are not talking about cheap boats, but the price is actually competitive with non-solar/battery vessels of that level of capability and luxury.

Here are a few picture of the Silent Yacht 55:

Electrek’s take.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of living on a boat, but I could never live with the idea that I’d be burning fossil fuels in our beautiful oceans.

Enters electric and solar-powered catamarans. A game changer that enables you to match the romantic boat lifestyle with a clean, zero-emission experience.

Something is captivating to the core about the idea of traveling the world by sea purely on solar power. It just feels right to me. After all, this entire planet is naturally solar-powered. Why shouldn’t our lifestyle be the same?

Silent-Yachts Unveils 62 Tri-Deck

The Austrian-owned company has already sold three units of its newest solar-electric catamaran, which develops upon the popular Silent 60.

Silent-Yachts has already sold three units of its 62 Tri-Deck, which is based on the Silent 60 currently under construction in Thailand and Italy but with a third full deck and an extra 2ft in length. Two units of the Silent 62 Tri-Deck have been sold to clients from the US and one has been sold to Europe.

Carbon-fibre is used extensively to reduce the overall weight of the new 19m model, which has a beam of 9m (29ft 6in) and offers up to 50sqm more living space than the Silent 60, which has a flybridge.

Michael Köhler, founder and CEO of Silent-Yachts, said: “We are a client-focused company and always open to new challenges, so when a client approached us with the idea to add an extra level, we were happy to give it a go. Now, we’re offering this fantastic yacht as part of our range.

“To optimise the sailing characteristics of the yacht, the hull has been enlarged by 2ft, which offers more space on the already spacious bathing platform.”

The third deck is offered in three versions: open sky lounge, closed sky lounge or an owner’s suite. The open sky lounge version offers a 50sqm deck with bar and galley, dining table and bench for 10-12 people, sofas, lounging areas and an upper helm.

The closed sky lounge version provides an 18sqm enclosed interior with a bar, galley and dining table, while aft is a 32sqm terrace with sofas and lounge areas. The owner’s suite version is similar, except the enclosed area contains an owner’s suite with an ensuite bathroom.

The main deck has a large, 50sqm saloon with wide windows, while the outdoor space on the main deck including aft cockpit and foredeck covers 70sqm. The living area on the lower deck occupies up to 62sqm and can include three to six staterooms with a maximum of six bathrooms. All staterooms offer double or twin berths, and all heads include a separate shower.

The optional hydraulic stern platform which also serves as a swimming platform, can accommodate a 4.2m tender, while additional water toys, SUPs, kayaks and e-bikes can be stored in the bridge deck.

Exterior features include the long window stripe at the side of the hull and more overall window surface. The high-performance hull shape has benefited from CFD study, with a longer waterline and reverse bow, while the 0.93m draft allows the yacht to reach shallower bays, a big benefit in areas like Southeast Asia.

The CE-A yacht is equipped with 42 powerful solar panels achieving up to 17kWp and the powertrain is the same as used on the 60. The self-sufficient yacht uses silent electric propulsion for unlimited range with no noise or fumes and minimal vibration, cruising up to 100 miles a day.

The yacht can power all on board systems without needing to run a generator, which is only used to recharge the batteries if it’s required to sustain higher speeds during long periods or when weather conditions are unfavourable for several days. The operational costs are substantially lower than for power yachts using more traditional propulsion systems.

The base price of the Silent 62 Tri-Deck is €2.427 million (about US$2.874 million) and includes several features as standard that are typically considered optional at other brands, according to the yard. www.silent-yachts.com

SILENT 80 TRI-DECK IN DEMAND Austrian-owned Silent-Yachts has sold three units of its flagship Silent 80 Tri-Deck, while the first Silent 60 is close to launching in Thailand.

New production sites The Silent Group can draw on three production facilities around the world. Its shipyard on Italy’s Adriatic coast has five construction sheds with 22,000 m² of covered space and about the same area outside for building the Silent 60 series & and the Silent 80 series. 

The Swiss-owned and managed PMG Shipyard in Thailand builds the Silent 60 series. The yard has a 20,800-m² facility in Rayong with dedicated areas for each stage of the production process.

A new partnership with Coşkun Bayraktar in Turkey, founder of the Viaport Group has opened up more production opportunities. Bayraktar, who also owns VisionF Yachts in Istanbul, has invested considerable manpower in recent months to start up production of the Silent 60 series, Silent 80 series, SILENT 100 series as well as the new Silent VisionF 82. Boats of each series are already being built in Turkey. Including the Tuzla Viaport Marina, the copperation with VisionF Yachting provides access to more than 100,000 m² of production area.

Record sales in 2021 – the current order book 2021 was a record-breaking year for the brand with 21 yachts sold. There are 17 yachts currently in build at different stages of production, among them eight Silent 60 series, six Silent 80 series, two Silent VisionF 82 and the first Silent 120 (ex-Silent 100). 

Upcoming new launch The next unit to be launched will be a Silent 60 – Front Exit version. The solar electric catamaran will touch the water this month February 2022 and will head straight to the US where the owner is waiting. Another Silent 60 Front Exit will be launched by April and will be followed by more yachts later this year.

“I’m immensely proud of what Silent-Yacht has achieved over the years,” says Silent-Yachts founder and CEO Michael Köhler. “After beginning our research into solar yacht technologies in 2004, the company has evolved and expanded and last year’s sales show that we continue to grow. We are now a truly international Group with diverse interests requiring more extensive resources and production space. This enables us to collaborate with other shipyards such as VisionF to assist them in harnessing solar technology as a step towards a more sustainable future.”
