The company Silent-Yachts has to go ahead with restructuring amid bankruptcy rumors
Similar to Tesla, the Silent-Yachts crew refused to give up on their goal. Their goal was to blend the luxury of a motor yacht with the silent sailing and boundless potential of a sailboat. to be able to cross oceans with real ease and require very little upkeep. to enable luxurious, self-sufficient yachting to coexist with the natural world.

Mr. Michael and ms. Heike invested their entire life in this company. I deeply hope they will find solutions for curent finances. Go Silent Yachts!
Odd given they had a waiting list, maybe that 25 year engine guarantee is for nothing? Hopefully it can be resolved as its a spectacular product
I would certainly feel incredibly jalouse and envious of anyone who has one of those ..they are fantastic.
My hope is there is no private investors that are going to come in and take it up. Private means pirate I’ve been watching silent yachts for three years now, and hope they would’ve made it without this growing pain like all sound businesses there is a trial and tribulations to overcome. Yes, I would buy one.
Oh my heart just broke when I heard about the Bankruptcy, I hope it won't affect the workmanship of such beautiful yatch, I definitely would buy one if only I could afford it, Well I thought about all the ones that have already been sold, where would they get replacement parts if something breaks, SILENT, you have one of those (60) with my name on it, just waiting for me to come get it, But the Dam lottery keeps shrugging its shoulders and thumbing its nose at me, But one of these days ,I beg of you, just wait for me.😊
Cooperate word salad for, they got 'leaned' on. Every company, especially with a ground breaking product, will reach a point where they are , potential rich, but cash poor. That's when the sharks move in, miss one payment and they get your whole company. One thing for sure, this is the future of yachting, we will never forget who developed it.
This is not the "future of yachting" for probably another 20 years.
Diesel/electric hybrid with solar backup is the foreseeable future in yachting unless battery and solar technology jump by about 5×.
Check out Greenline Yachts. They're not going bankrupt because their engineers are firmly grounded in reality.
I wish they'd build a tiny catamaran for ~500k.
Honestly, you could probably buy a tiny catamaran and have it converted to solar electric for $500k. But the reason they're going out of business is that people are starting to realize that solar panel AND battery technology aren't far enough along yet to make them a viable standalone option.
Even most people rich enough to afford millions for a solar yacht can't afford to wait around for it to charge ...IF the sun is even out to charge it.
The panels have to be cleaned constantly, they lose efficiency with each year, and no one wants to be stranded at sea waiting for the sun.
@@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi All these yacht has diesel electric generator allowing the Silent Yacht to charged and run even without the sun
Just FYI, SY has been acquired by one of its clients Michael Said.
They're fine.
Hopefully their future clears quickly uncertainties are not good in luxury items …..
Thank goodness for customization. Say afloat
I hope to buy one someday
I don't understand.. Silent Yatch is selling well.. they going to introduce the 100M mega version as well
I hoped to buy, in 15 years, a used one and to enjoy my retirement on it 😊
I love to buy one when the battery technology can allow the yacht to go faster.
I believe they have proven proof of concept, there is definitely a market for sustainable yachting. But whether it's Silent Yachts or Vision E or F, they need to break out of this mold of only producing Catamarans.
you need a lot of surface for the solar panels. only catamarans offer that large surface.
@@henq Of contraire, I have measured the available surface of three super yachts, and there is more square footage available to hold solar panels, or even better, solar sheets than they have on silent yachts or the vision E. Keep in mind, SunReef yachts has proven that solar does not have to be only on flat roof like surfaces.
Gee what a surprise! Make a yacht nobody can afford and go bankrupt. I kept saying, they need a consumer version that the average guy who might have a million or two could afford. Like a 40' version or less, but nope.
Agree! They started with the Solarwave 62 for 1.4mio euro without VAT. But from than on, only bigger and bigger and more expensive models....
Start is 2.8€
@@gwmu7745😮
It's a double whammy. Not only can the "average millionaire" not even afford one, the truly rich that can, are exponentially unlikely to care about burning fuel. Heck they probably made their money in oil.
@@CitizenMio yes exactly my thoughts!
sunreef needs to increase their product categories, produce sail yachts, motor boats etc
Make more affordable cruisers.
I love this concept. Just peace and independence. I could help them if they wanted lol.
but peace & independence aren't cheap you need to pay ;)
@@sasakostic1982 I don’t pay to help. I usually get paid lol or it’s an act of good faith.
i want one sierra leone how i can get?
Anyone know if anyone has tried to circumvent with one of these things? I've heard of the guy in the Atlantic but I wanna know if someone was ballsy enough to take it across pacific
Hi, not yet - but our clients cruised way more than 100.000 miles on almost all oceans - in a few weeks even on the Pacific Ocean. It´s even easier to cross the Pacific Ocean - as the name "pacific" indicates, calm, not a lot of wind, but sunny.
1.
With Sunreef, I doubt that the solar panels laminated into the hull will ever balance out the additional costs in the lifetime of the catamaran. Sunreef is a luxury symbol. Admittedly impressive when you step aboard, but few people can afford 5-star luxury. Silent is less than half the price. Still a long way from the normal price level, but the inovation accessible to more people for a charter.
2. if you do the math, you get results.
a) Purchase price in relation to the possible solar area, as well as the question of the stated engine power? Can the solar harvest store enough energy for these motors?
b) Additional weights at the top of the ship and the increase in torque characteristics in moving water until capsizing. c) Ratio of ship weight for monohulls (often steel) or multihulls and thus even heavier engines, thus worsening the balance between possible solar harvesting in batteries, further increase in ship weight. Solar harvesting is 60-90% lower in sidewalls. So more of a marketing gain. Water resistance to be overcome at 6, 12, 18, 24 knots? ... Underwater hulls for monohulls and multihulls are different worlds,... much more. If you don't know the different influencing factors, you can't calculate them. And a little tip. Even a thin tensioned line leads to 60% solar yield loss. Every antenna or radome and and and.... Measuring a ship for a solar harvest from a bird's eye view???. ...is just as precise as the gardener's statement that exactly this one seed grows the fastest when he reseeds the soccer pitch.
But to work with and find out new ways is allways positiv.

What boat? Where i can find the BBC Fox or or other the worldrecordnews?
2,5 times around the world in weeks is exelent. Gratulations
I have been keenly observing silent yacht since last 2 years as I am very much interested in sustainable transport especially yachting. I appreciate the effort, vision and goal of the silent yacht but I always found it a bit overrated and more of marketing gimmick because slient yachts is neither the first nor the only solar yacht producer rather I prefer the solutions from Sunreef and HH yacht that combines solar and sails with regen through propeller
I do not like to see any innovative company have issues but I must be honest here. Every sailor has unexpectedly found themselves in heavy storm seas and at night where a battery alone will not last and you must maintain propulsion. Ocean storms come up fast and sometimes unpredictably on the ocean and you must maintain headway in a proper direction in heavy seas or they will eat a boat up. Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you cannot out run them or swing around them. Any lack of power to the electric motors is a death nell in that situation.
I cannot see an electric only boat filling that requirement in today's current systems state. Electric propulsion must be combined with other forms such that it compliments for the maintenance of propulsion through a night's heavy seas. Even a small diesel on a sail boat with a sliver of a furling out can keep its bow into the rollers even making negative headway and keep from being capsized. I can see this combines with either sail or diesel tech such that one becomes a backup and compliments the other. I'm sorry, but I would not be on an all electric boat in blue water. Of course, I could be misunderstanding something about these ships.
There is a solution.. electric generators.. no problem.
Cryptocurrency is ready for the ne t bull run. I am very passionate about 🎉😢 this company.
Too slow unfortunately
Because straight electric with solar charging is stupid! Diesel electric hybrid with solar backup is where its at! Just because someone's rich doesn't mean they can afford to sit around 8 hours and wait for their boat to charge up (or up to 16 hours if they ran out right before sundown).
Greenline has the right idea!
Redundancy is key for sure when far away from shore. I remember talk about a kite system for one of their models? With sail catamarans at least, being able to use the props as dynamos to regen is a hugely powerful combo that blows any solar out of the water.
So taking advantage of the wind when present, in addition to a hybrid generator would be even better.
the history around italy building infastructure not good crumbling bridges and roads and tunnels and sinking venice only thing they done good was supercars
Translated:
Although too little internal information is openly available, I assume that there has been a clear breach of contract. Whether the Turkish/Dutch partner was just playing too much poker with contract back payments and was caught up in the technical accounting laws or was deliberately trying to damage a competitor that was growing too quickly can only be seen after a judicial investigation. It is bitter for Michael Kohler to hand over his life's work to someone else. Conclusion? Explosive success attracts false friends. The "good advice" written here and in other forums does not see all the visible facts or has too little experience of an entrepreneurial life. In the euphoria of overwhelming success, malicious influences are often not recognized. People are often caught up in their work-filled world. Perhaps that was also the case here. A greeting to all honest people who share their inspirations with others
