The SILENT 80 luxury catamaran is a solar-powered model constructed by Austrian shipyard Silent-Yachts offering an LOA of 24m/79ft. The naval architecture is the work of Enrique Castilla from Insenaval while Marco Casali from Too Design created the interior and exterior styling. The flexible accommodation layout can provide for 8-12 guests over 4-6 cabins respectively, with a crew of four to provide stellar service throughout the cruise. The yacht's launch date is in 2020.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF SILENT 80: ~Solar-powered vessel ~Flybridge Jacuzzi ~Abundance of outdoor living space ~Large and airy cabins ~Excellent stability ~Shallow draft for close beach access ~Air conditioning ~Wi-Fi

Each hull has a swim platform leading from the water to the main deck aft, and a hydraulic swim platform allows for the easy launch and retrieval of tenders.

The main deck aft cockpit is shaded by the flybridge overhang and contains a stern sofa and elevated dining table along with a port side wet bar and a starboard alfresco dining table and sunbed/sofa. Walkways to each side lead to the foredeck, and a sofa placed amidships allows guests to take in the views in privacy. The foredeck has a C-shaped sofa wrapping around two drinks tables where guests can take in uninterrupted forward views. A sunpad is placed either side of the seating, and the spacious bow can be furnished with sun loungers or left clear for a social event.

The flybridge is accessed via a port stairway and there is a C-shaped alfresco dining area to starboard and a helm station and sofa placed centre. A Jacuzzi is placed aft and centre, with the area directly behind left clear for sunbathing.

The hardtop is covered in solar panels and when the flybridge is not in use, it can be moved down to lie flush with the rest of the solar panels to avoid casting shadows.

The hulls host the guest and crew accommodation, leaving the central section for a shared social space.

The salon is comprised of an aft lounge, a formal dining area and a galley, with a wet bar nearby for drinks to suit the occasion. Full-height glazing tapers into smaller windows farther forward, creating naturally illuminated environments for any social occasion.

As a solar-powered vessel, there is no need for an engine room and the space is instead used to store tenders and water toys.

SILENT 80 Specifications

The SILENT 80 motor yacht comes in a standard 50kW cruiser version and a more powerful 250kW E-power version, the latter option capable of a top speed of 20 knots and silent cruising at 7-8 knots with a range of around 100 nautical miles per day.

Yacht Accommodation

The SILENT 80 luxury catamaran model offers a flexible accommodation layout and is able to sleep between 8 guests across 4 cabins or 12 guests over 6 cabins. The Master suite has a private office and in all arrangements, there is at least one VIP stateroom. The crew of four will ensure that every guest is well taken care of throughout the cruise.

Silent Yachts offer an environmentally conscious choice when it comes to owning a yacht. Silent Yachts currently offers three solar-powered power catamaran models including the Silent 55, Silent 64, and Silent 80. United Yacht Sales is proud to be the U.S. distributor for Silent Yachts and can assist you in your search for the world's first solar-powered yacht. For more information, please contact United Yacht broker Darren Sell at (561) 351-7333 or by email at [email protected] . 

Where are Silent Yachts built?

Silent Yachts are built through two different shipyards depending on the model. The Silent 55 is built at the world-class shipyard of Mazarin German Yachts which also has a production site located in China. For over 70 years, Mazarin has been a leader in quality yacht construction with over 400 yachts delivered. Mazarin are experts in innovative construction processes that are able to produce light weight yachts.

The Silent 64 and Silent 80 are produced at the Italian-based shipyard Consorzio Navale which is a prestigous consoritum of builders and sub-contractors in the industry. The group has serviced many of the major Italian yacht brands such as Ferretti Yachts and Riva Yachts . Additionally, the Silent Yachts 80 features styling and design by Marco Casali and naval architecture by Insenaval.

Are Silent Yachts really completely solar-powered?

The short answer is yes. Owners can choose to go 100% solar-powered or install diesel engines should higher speeds want to be achieved over longer distances. Silent Yachts can cruise up to 100 miles per day by power acquired through its solar panels. Every day the solar panels are able to generate more power than the total consumption needed for propulsion at cruising speeds plus powering all of the appliances on board. 

How does the solar power work? 

The Silent Yachts power system feeds the electric propulsion of the power cat and all of the energy it needs to run the A/C, refrigerators, and other household appliances. Light-weight lithium batteries provide an ample amount of energy for everything on board. The lithium batteries used in Silent Yachts are the most expensive ones on the market, but also the most reliable, safe, and have the longest life span.

Solar panels are integrated to the roof of the flybridge hardtop sections instead of just being bolted on top, resulting in no wind load or resistance againest them. Below is a video explaining how the system functions and operates back when Silent Yachts were originally called "Solar Wave":

Who is the team behind Silent Yachts?

Heike and Michael Kohler have sent almost their entire lives on a boat. After more than two decades of using various boats, cruisers, and sailboats on multiple oceans, they became dedicated to finding a better energy source for the propulsion of yachts. Between the years of 2005 and 2009, Heike and Michael tested a number of a multitude of various alternative energy sources. In 2009, SolarWave 46 was launched as a proof of concept for their design. While there are many boats and yachts built that use solar power in some fashion, the Solarwave 46 was the first ocean-going yacht to use solar energy to power everything on board from engines to appliances.

What else is different about how Silent Yachts are built?

Certainly the solar-powered engines and generators are the distinguishing characteristic, but there are a lot of other features that make each Silent Yacht unique. For example, the molds were created using a CNC-milling machine that is able to contruct particular shapes for an optimized design. The materials used in the hull include a carbon compositie that is then resin-infused for a light-weight, but very strong platform. Every hull is fully insulated and the long-term durability is exceptional thanks to the high-quality resin used in the infusion process.

What propulsion systems are recommended by Silent Yachts?

Silent Yachts recommends the 2 x 135 engines as the best solution. If the owner is making frequest trips from Point A to B (Say Miami to the Bahamas for example) the faster hybrid is recommended. The main differentiator here is cruising speed. If the owner is living on the yacht for an extended period of time, rarely pushes the engines to top speeds, and stays below 12 knots, then the E-Power is recommended.

When the generator is running, does the 100Kw go to charging the batteries (which run the 250 Kw e-Motors) or directly to the e-Motors?

All of the enery consumers and producers are connected to the bus bar. If there happens to be more power produced than consumed, the excess power goes to re-charge the batteries. If for some reason more power is required than what is produced, the needed power comes from the lithium batteries.

What is the sustained speed if both 100 Kw generators are running?

This answer really depends upon sea condition and the weight of the boat (for example components, additional equipment, water toys, etc.). The sustained speed on average though is between 12 and 14 knots, 10 knots with one generator running. It is possible to cruise at 10 knots without a generator running when using the Solar E-Power.

Meet the Silent 80 Tri-Deck

• By Yachting Staff
• Updated: December 2, 2019

Silent-Yachts has unveiled the design for its Silent 80 Tri-Deck, a solar-electric catamaran with a projected top speed of 16 knots.

This yacht is a variation on the builder’s existing 80-foot flagship, adding an air-conditioned lounge on the flybridge.

Owners have choices in the layout aboard the Silent 80 Tri-Deck. The yacht can be ordered with four to six staterooms, with an enclosed or open top deck, and with a customizable garage.

Because the yacht uses solar power, it has more garage space as opposed to engine-room space. The vessel can carry a nearly 15-foot tender, an amphibious car or any number of combinations of water toys.

What is the Silent 80 Tri-Deck’s cruising speed? 6 to 12 knots, with a top-end speed of 16 knots.

Silent Yachts – Noiseless Limitless Cruising Catamarans

Solar power catamarans...ingenious and real.

Imagine leaving no footprint except those in the sand on faraway beaches as you silently cruise. With these solar catamarans, it’s possible! We covered these amazing solar-electric yachts back when they were mere concepts.

The Austrian-based solar catamaran producer drew stronger interest after the Silent 55 earned the Best of Boats Awards 2019 in “Boat for Travel” being “suitable for long distance travels with all amendments to live on board permanently, adapted for both inland waters and the tough conditions at sea.” Amazing results for where electric-solar catamarans were only a year or so before.

Silent Yachts began delivery of the Silent 55 in 2019 and in 2020, during a global pandemic, sold six Silent 80 catamarans (starting from $4.6 million). Construction in Ancona, Italy, was slightly delayed due to COVID19 closure of 2 of the 4 factories, but the shipbuilder continues with delivery of these amazing catamarans as well as their evolution. At the end of 2020, Silent Yachts had a dozen luxury electric catamarans in production from 55′ to 80′ at a starting price of $1.8 million.

After these successes, designer Marco Casali of Too-Design continued innovating crafting a Loft version of the Silent 80 to excite solar catamaran enthusiasts.

Founder and CEO, Michael Köhler, birthed the concept. Interior and exterior designs are by Marco Casali of Too-Design with Amedeo Migali of MICAD in charge of naval architecture.

The Silent 80 with its silent electric propulsion, has unlimited range; no noise or fumes. Seventy solar panels, electric motors, and lithium batteries (used by Tesla) have been incorporated into the design to make it most efficient while maintaining the overall balance in shape. If you want to know more in depth on this efficiency, read this excellent article on Silent Yachts’ engine, battery configuration, and power management .

All components are virtually free of maintenance which makes the running-costs much lower than that of a comparable conventionally powered catamaran. The Silent Yacht is powered by electric motors and has a cruising-speed of 6-8 knots, and maximum speed is 10 knots. Without an engine room, the Silent 80 has enough space for a 4.5 meter tender, and gyrocopter!

Success has not stopped this solar catamaran designer from striving for bigger and better ideas. Recently Silent Yachts Silent announced its plan to build catamarans in collaboration with Volkswagen, powered by VW electric drive matrix (MEB). The catamaran ranges will be designed by VW subsidiary, SEAT’s Cupra brand. Auto and marine manufacturers joining forces have shown success before when BMW teamed up with Torqeedo for outboard engines, so it will be interesting to watch.

High Cost of Solar Catamarans Debunked

As with any new paradigm, the skeptics have loud voices during early introduction of new concepts. And solar-electric catamarans are no different. As excited as we are about this, we must confess our healthy skepticism is still alive. But we recently read an interesting article that compares the Silent 80 to the Lagoon Seventy8 . It points out that because operation and maintenance costs are so low that only a few years of ownership negate the higher purchase price of the Silent 80.

It’s actually quite a tempting proposition to enjoy all the comforts and necessities that requires lots of power aboard without the smell, roar, and Earth-damaging emissions of diesel generators. And eliminating the dangers and inconvenient refills of the propane cooker in the galley is another reason to give a second and a third look at these new solar catamarans.

Read on for pictures and more details of these solar-powered cats with lots of options including hybrid diesel operations and and a true “sail” option.

Silent Yachts

Creators of the world’s first series produced, solar-powered electric yachts.

Unlimited Range

Noiseless cruising, zero emission, minimal maintenance, pioneering solar powered yachting since 2009.

The Original Solar Yacht

As the original inventors of series produced solar-electric yachts, we pioneered this innovative approach. Our first model, the Silent 64, was launched to the market in 2016, several years before any other shipyard considered the possibility of going electric.

Leading Technology

Our founders began to research alternative energy sources to power yachts during the mid 1990s. Today, the technology of our in-house developed solar-electric drivetrain has been perfected and is multiple generations ahead in terms of reliability, performance and efficiency.

Historical Track-Record

In 2009, the Solarwave 46 was launched as our first prototype of a fully solar-electric, self-sufficient ocean-going catamaran. Since then, our electric yachts have cruised many 10.000s of nautical miles, performing flawlessly during a variety of weather conditions.

Enabling Self-Sufficiency

What differentiates a Silent is the unprecedented level of autonomy provided by our yachts. Being able to produce your own energy enables a fully self-sufficient lifestyle on board. Travel the oceans sustainably while making them your infinite playground.

The award-winning entry to solar-electric yachts.

Timeless design meets state-of-the-art technology.

120 Explorer

The boldest expression of solar powered yachting yet.

What Makes Us Unique

The tranquility on board of our yachts is unique. A lack of noise, fumes and vibrations create a deep connection with the sea. Luxury and sustainability finally merged into a holistic experience, working hand in hand with nature by minimizing the impact on the marine environment without compromising comfort.

For optimal performance and efficiency, our solar-electric drivetrain integrates seamlessly with all onboard systems. Compared to fossil fuelled powertrains of motoryachts, electric powertrains have very few moving parts, resulting in minimal maintenance, maximum reliability and significantly lower running costs.

The ability to recharge your own batteries with the sun marks a new era of freedom. Depending on cruising speeds and weather conditions, a Silent has virtually unlimited range, enabling you to live a fully self-sufficient lifestyle on board. Unbound by the limitations of fossil fuels, you are free to explore the horizons.

The technology powering our yachts today has been pioneered by our founders almost three decades ago. Continuous upgrading and steady optimization of the entire system are some of the key reasons our in-house developed solar-electric drivetrain offers a comprehensive portfolio of assurances and warranties.

Powered by an advanced jet propulsion system, the fully electric Tender Series perfectly complements the experience on board of our catamarans. Following the same philosophy as our electric yachts, it was developed with a strong focus on being spacious, lightweight and efficient.

As a new breed of Silent, the Speed 28 combines futuristic design with blistering pace. Her high-performance drivetrain is supported by triple foils and embedded solar cells on the hardtop. Advanced hydrodynamics and latest AI management make for a stable ride which always remains comfortable.

Why Silent Yachts

A sensible approach to yachting which works in self-sufficient harmony with nature and creates a completely new experience on board.

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.

Silent-Yachts has confirmed the sale of the first three units of Silent 80 Tri-Deck, its most spacious solar-electric catamaran to date. The 79ft 9in (24.3m) model is an advanced version of the Silent 80 and the first three sales include a mix of both Open and Closed versions.

The first unit is a Closed version with the top deck used for the master suite, although the interior area of future units can be used as a sky lounge or other layouts. The Open version has 90sqm of covered living area. The top deck features solar panels forward and on the hardtop.

Designed and engineered by Marco Casali and MICAD, the Silent 80 Tri-Deck has a base price of €5.51 million (about US$6,700,000).

Michael Köhler, founder and CEO of Silent-Yachts, said: “We are happy that the interest in fully sustainable yachting keeps growing. Our latest orders are another confirmation of this trend for a much greener future.”

The main deck benefits from a 35ft 10in (10.95m) beam and has a 60sqm saloon with a galley, lounge and dining area. The main deck’s exterior space covers 120sqm and includes an aft cockpit with a lounge area and a bar, while the solid foredeck has a sofa, sunpads, tables and open space.

The lower deck is fitted with four to six guest cabins with double or twin berths and ensuite bathrooms, as well as one or two crew cabins. Semi-custom layouts are available. Following Silent-Yachts’ focus on being green and eco-friendly, the yacht is principally decorated with lightweight, recyclable and environmentally-friendly materials.

The solar-powered yacht has a large garage, taking advantage of the absence of a typical engine room. On port side, there is enough space for a 5.2m tender with an integrated lift and launching system or an amphibious vehicle. A gyrocopter on floats could potentially be placed on the hydraulic bathing platform.

The yacht is built using vacuum-bagged resin infusion to create a lightweight carbon-sandwich composite construction that has sound-and temperature-insulating qualities.

Like all models by Silent-Yachts, the Silent 80 Tri-Deck is self-sufficient, virtually maintenance-free and uses silent electric propulsion for unlimited range without noise or fumes and minimal vibration.

The options for electric engines range from 150kW each in the standard version up to 340kW each combined with high-efficiency carbon propellers. The model will be able to reach up to 20 knots with the most powerful e-motors combination and make up to 100nm a day at cruising speed without consuming any fuel.

As with every Silent yacht, the 80 Tri-Deck is equipped with SunPower solar panels that produce up to 26kWp. The yacht uses maximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar charge regulators and high-end lithium batteries from Panasonic, which provide capacity for all-night cruising, while the inverter available with up to 50kW provides power for all household appliances.

The energy production and propulsion systems require hardly any maintenance and produce no fumes or noise. Because of that, the operational costs of the vessels are substantially lower, compared to power yachts using traditional propulsion systems.

The Silent 80 Tri-Deck has a generator, which can be used to recharge the batteries in the rare case when higher speed is required for longer periods or if the weather is bad for several days.

The shipyard is currently developing an even bigger model and plans to release more information on this project later this year.

Meanwhile, the builder has revealed an image of the first Silent 60 outside the shed of the PMG Shipyard near Pattaya in Thailand. Following final installations, the yacht is expected to be launched into the water, with sea trials to follow. www.silent-yachts.com

SILENT RESORTS TAKES FIRST STEPS Building on the solar technology developed for Silent-Yachts catamarans, Silent Resorts is launching its first yacht-and-villa retreat in the Caribbean, while Asia is in the plans as the new company looks to grow a global network of exclusive, eco-friendly holiday destinations.

To recap, this ingenious concept was birthed by the founder and CEO of Silent Yachts Michael Köhler. The interiors and exteriors were penned by Marco Casali of Too-Design, while Amedeo Migali of MICAD is responsible for naval architecture.

The stealth cruiser uses silent electric propulsion to deliver unlimited range without any noise, fumes or vibrations. She is self-sufficient, virtually maintenance-free and, of course, eco-friendly.

• Silent Yachts

Each vessel is fitted with 70 solar panels across the flybridge which generate 26kWp of power. This green energy is then stored in lithium batteries—the same ones that are in a Tesla—which enable it to cruise all night non-stop and to power the onboard amenities.

Silent Yachts said construction on the new Silent 80 vessels will continue full steam ahead despite the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

“We are happy to be able to continue our production despite uncertain times for the world economy,” Köhler explains.

Currently, Silent Yachts is able to keep building at two of four production sites.

“We have two production sites in Italy currently closed, but we plan to resume working as soon as the governmental regimentations allow,” explained Köhler. “We expect some delays but nothing serious.”

Given the current state of affairs, the Silent 80’s ability to travel 100 miles a day for weeks on end without needing to stop is particularly enticing. If you’re interested in securing your own quiet escape, contact Silent Yachts .

History of Silent Yachts

Silent Yachts, an innovative company known for pioneering the future of maritime navigation, was founded in 2005 by Michael and Heike Köhler in Austria. Michael, an avid lifelong sailor with a passion for sustainable energy sources, and Heike, a travel enthusiast and frequent voyage partner, sought a solution to issues of noise, smell, and fuel consumption that traditional sailing presented. Their belief that maritime travel could be both luxuriously comfortable and environmentally responsible led to the creation of Silent Yachts, a brand known globally today for their solar electric catamarans.Over the years, Silent Yachts has established itself as a frontrunner in the industry with multiple award-winning designs. Their game-changing approach to maritime travel utilises disruptive technology with cutting-edge naval architecture to produce vessels ranging from 55 feet to a recently launched 80 feet model. The company's boats are powered by solar energy, stored in batteries aboard, which makes their operations virtually silent, self-sufficient, and virtually maintenance-free, thus reinforcing their commitment to sustainability.Today, Silent Yachts is widely recognised globally with its headquarters still based in Austria, although their vessels are now built in Italy and Thailand, responding to the growing demand in those regions. Apart from these locales, Silent Yachts has extended its business footprint with sales offices in USA and Singapore and sales agents in over a dozen countries worldwide. The brand’s distinctive commitment to luxurious and sustainable maritime navigation continues to push boundaries, with plans to spearhead even more significant innovations in the future.
