Silent Yachts launch first Silent 60 from new Fano facility

Silent Yachts has successfully launched the first Silent 60 catamaran at the recently acquired Fano facility in Italy.

Originally unveiled in February 2020, the solar-powered Silent 60 marks two firsts for the shipyard as not only the first Silent 60 hull to be launched, but also the first yacht to be launched at the Fano facility acquired in 2022. 

Integrated with 42 solar panels for 16kW of solar energy, the Silent 60 is an eco-aware vessel with an aptitude for environmental care thanks to her reusable energy source and the ability to cruise at zero emissions for 100 nautical miles each day, for weeks at a time.

Compatible with multiple engine options, the catamaran can offer owners and their guests ample opportunities to explore stunning archipelagos with top speeds of 18 knots on the most powerful engine choice.

The catamarans are built to last and require virtually no maintenance compared to yachts with traditional combustion engines.

Boasting a four-cabin layout, the Silent 60 has a flexible layout depending on each owner's specifications, with multiple social areas onboard, plus a spacious flybridge for remarkable views.

Offering a decent 2.32m (7.62ft) of headroom throughout, there's ample space for every owner and their guest to feel at home, with dual swim platforms acting as Jet Ski launchers for afternoons of watersports.
