Austrian shipyard Silent Yachts have announced that the newly updated Silent 55 will be making her worldwide debut at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival in Autumn 2019. Running from the 10th until the 15th of September, the show based in the stunning Cote D'Azur will host the premiere of the 16.7 metre vessel as part of the iconic start to the new yachting season.
Upgraded from the previous 2018 model, the new version of the popular Silent 55 boasts significant changes including twice the amount of power from the e-motors and an impressive advance in battery power.
Improved levels of noise reduction also makes an impact on the newer version as silent electric propulsion provides for unlimited range and a world of exploring possibilities.
As a self sufficient vessel, the Silent 55 requires very little maintenance thanks to a collection of energy efficient installations including 30 high efficiency solar panels and solar charge regulators.
Constructed with carbon fiber and a vacuum-bagged resin infusion, the Silent 55 has insulation qualities which further enhance the eco friendly ethos of the Silent 55. Keeping costs down and travel comfort at a maximum, structural designs have been implemented in such a way that safety is as much of a priority without taking away any of the pleasure of indulging in a luxury cruising experience.
Open spaces around the exteriors provide onboard guests with plenty of space to socialise and relax throughout every journey. With cruising capabilities of covering 100 miles a day for weeks at a time, every consideration has been made to allow guests as much use of the vessel as possible to get the most out of every destination around the regions of the world.
Our bestselling 16.7 meter innovative solar electric catamaran has been upgraded and become even better than it used to be. We did these updates and changesbecause we always try to improve and to install the best and latest technology available to satisfy our clients. We havebuilt one new SILENT 55 already and we’ve got three more orders for this model, which shows that we’re heading theright direction.
