The world of boats and yachts has long been opposing to the electrical powertrain. We’ve been waiting for a kind of Tesla on the water. And now we have it. The vessels of Silent Yachts company are being called Teslas of the seas, and today we are going to tell you why.
The company works to produce luxurious catamarans of different sizes. There are three main size options for now: 55, 60, or 80 feet. The models look much alike, but they are different in terms of interior features.
The main thing about these yachts is that they are purely electric. These vessels are powered by electric motors that have a lifetime warranty from the producer. There is a battery pack that is able to take you for quite a long distance. And one more important thing - the actual range of the yachts is not limited. Let’s try to find out more about these magical vessels.

This is my Yacht, for sure: Silent yacht 80
So much wrong here, showing old model 64 when talking about new 60 (and all the time in video), 55 is only one version, top of flybridge can be closed, same as basic model 60 and 80 etc.
Most of these yachts are up for Sale second Hand, The Range is actually Limited, Its got a 145 Mile range , It takes 6 Hours of full daylight to fully recharge at standstill without using the Power . These are OK for Day trips or Weekends, They are NO good for long distance trips, And believe me you dont want to be on one in Heavy seas , These yachts will take you 4 X longer than a normal one to get to your destination, You will be Stopping and starting on long distance trips. Spent 9 weeks trying to cross from Spain to the Bahamas, It was a Nightmare, We ran out of supplies at one point so had to fish 🐠… The Lady Owner has now put Hers up for sale for $1.5 Million now,
Why didnt they run the generator..or use a parakite sail thats what its for .
The first crossing was done in Feb E -W and in rough conditions . In 17 days and another 17 beating round the Caribbean. plenty of sailing and motor sailing vessels have to make do with sailing at 7 Knt max and below.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 they did use the Gen They had Grey Sky most of the trip and the Kites are not included in the price of the boat , And you need training and experience to use the Kites ,
Make a Silent 40 that we can do the Great Loop on!
Well as the draft is only 3'3" on the sixty thats not an issue the width i dont know about but speeds restricted anyway..
Theres Portuguese and other companies building similar products now look up the review they did on boat test.
Or convert a smaller second hand vessel ... The near perfect conversion base might be a Main Cats... 38 or 41'
Theres a german guy converting a shuttle cat ships 150 place life boat called Heart of Gold.. using Nissan leaf motors... they are tiny and light compared to the two Yanmar turbo diesels hes pulled out yet they produce more bhp and and more Torque. 😁 And are virtually maintainance free.
in the comparison, why don't you compare to equal sized power catamarans?? Lagoon, Aquilla..
Yes, it's very weird. He compared with small used monohulls....
Yep strange indeed
👍
they should look to include the new covered vertical wind turbines to the design they would not need any backup generator and would increase range n power x 4 at least
The wind over sun shadow doesnt break even enough for enough time to payback ... It depends on where and when you plan using the vessel but thats the reason they have never fitted them from the factory.
What other backups if generator n solar fails
A paddle? Seriously, hard to imagine that both solar and diesel can fail.
@@inspireyachts1740 kite sail!
What if the engines on a diesel fail? What if your sails rip on a sailing vessel? The advantage to Catamarans is that they are dual engine systems. The likelihood that the diesel generator AND both electric motors fail is extremely unlikely.
If there no kite sail install on the solar cat
55 is not sold anymore, there are 60, 80 and soon 120
They all have their special perks and price points. However, I'm truly amazed with the Leopard 53 and its 13,500+ gal fuel capacity! 😂
Sweet - 13,500 gal @ $4/gal = $54,000 to fill er up. 10 times and you blew 1/2 million dollars. Wait until the price doubles...$8/gallon $1.1Million for 10 fillups. Sweet. Better be prepared to be a DOCK QUEEN.
That is a $70,000 fuel fill up.

Thats where its going to go with
Oil based direct internal combustion drive ... hence the need to develope cheaper lighter better batteries and solar .. and get used to Parrakite sails.
How about compare price plus 5 years of annual operating cost.
No data about operating costs - not many yachts are on the water now.
@@inspireyachts1740 No data about the average fuel budget of a matching size diesel boat? Really ?
@@didierpuzenat7280 lol yah piss poor video and copy and research.
They should offer a reverse charge option where the yacht can put power into the docks. Park an 80 and have it sit there for 8 months not giving energy back is a huge waste. Also, the range and speed I bet doesn’t have the fridge and air con going. Solar panels cannot run an AC and a yacht motor even during sunny conditions. Maybe the future 120’ version can but a buyer should see the math before purchase because no doubt compromises are in order. Kind of sad advertisers are allowed to say such things.
yacht solar can run an AC just fine, even two of them on smaller yachts like 40 footers. there's loads around.
The still image of this video is of an Alva Yacht, not a Silent Yacht at all, its an Alva Eco 60 to be precise...a direct, and maybe only real competitor of Silent Yachts. Even apart from this obvious mishap, this video is a fairly poor and incomprehensive representation of Silent Yachts. The brand deserves much better than that.
Good catch on the thumbnail image! Thats definitely an Alva haha. He also showed the Solar Wave 64 instead of the 55. Other than those, I didnt think this video was bad. Exposure is good for SY!
all of these videos are SUB PAR likely paid $500 for the videos - but whoever provided the copy should be thrown overboard.
Not a word in the whole video about the fact that electricity means zero pollution : zero noise, zero toxic particles, zero CO2. Is this topic taboo in the yachting industry? Soon all diesel boats will be banned from ports, at least in democracies, keep that in mind when investing millions in a boat. BTW, when comparing prices, it would be fair to include the cost of fuel and maintenance.
you would think right?? someone could clean up and make money doing good videos and writing proper coy for these cats. I haven't seen one yet that i could say was done well.
Ever see what a lithium mine does to the environment?
There not banning diesel boats! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ well atleast in USA. mayb California. But the rest of the USA is all bout freedom. The worst thing that will happen is a Emission tax
@@drno9683 Do you have the "freedom" to kill innocent people for no reason in the USA ? If not you may think again about the notion of "freedom".
@@didierpuzenat7280 huh who's dyin over CO2. Its everywhere! 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ earth no humans not goin anywhere anytime soon. Unless we start shootin nukes everywhere. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
and now there is a 100 foot
The prices are not entirely correct. The 55 sells for either $1.5 - 1.6 million
The prices were taken from the official website. They can change over time, of course.
💪🙏👍🙂❤🇺🇦
I would not call this the Tesla of the seas... Considering the fit n finish of a Tesla...not to mention the roofs coming unglued and blowing off.😳
buy bitcoin!
your comparison shopping is really really bad. SUB bad. Whoever OK'd the copy should be fired. Could have done so much better and still made the Silent Yacht sound like a WIN. sad .
Low speed. If water enter in contact with the electric,,,babum you are F..K also, it cost double than a same size traditional yacht...and finally Lithium batteries are extremely hard and expensive to recycle and they pollute more that fossil fuels.
you need to educate yourself sir....wrong on all you said -
