Silent 62 Flybridge Review (2022 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Nick commences his tour by highlighting the exterior finishings and amenities of the Silent 60 which include a seating area that immediately greets guests upon boarding. As he moves around the decks, he notes the lounging area at the bow and the comprehensive storage for fenders and warps.

Nick draws attention to the yacht's kite system, which can be deployed to tow the vessel using wind power. The aesthetically pleasing lighting that runs along the edge of the deck catches his eye, adding to the yacht's upscale appearance.

The Silent 60's flybridge or sundeck is substantially larger than that of the 55, offering a sunbathing area, extensive seating, and a dining area that can be expanded for entertaining.

The bimini top can be lowered and the solar panel array, which provides a significant portion of the yacht's energy, is also located here, showcasing a blend of luxury and sustainability.

Inside, Nick is impressed by the sheer volume of space, enhanced by the catamaran's beamy design. The "galley-aft" layout maximizes room for culinary activities, complete with modern appliances, extensive storage, and large fridge-freezers. The seating area, referred to as the "cathedral" by Nick due to its high ceiling, conveys an open and airy atmosphere.

The helm station, situated in the interior, is equipped with a minimalist setup including a tiller for steering linked to the autopilot, throttle controls for each engine, and a Dockmate remote for easier docking. The comprehensive camera and control systems ensure the captain has all necessary information and control at their fingertips.

Owner's Cabin

Nick explores the front master cabin, which boasts a generous dressing area and abundant storage space. Its en suite bathroom features a large shower and premium finishings, emphasizing the yacht's commitment to luxury and comfort.

Guest Accommodation

The guest accommodations include multiple cabins, each with en suite bathrooms and ample storage. The cabins are well-appointed, with comfortable beds and natural light from hull windows. The layout can be configured for additional cabins or a walkthrough to the bow, depending on the owner's preferences.

The Silent 60 is powered by twin 250-kilowatt electric engines that enable the yacht to reach speeds of up to 12 knots. Nick is particularly fascinated by the yacht's ability to cruise at five knots solely on solar power, thanks to its sizable battery storage and solar panel array.

Nick's tour of the Silent Yachts Silent 60 leaves him deeply impressed by the vessel's expansive space, luxurious amenities, and innovative solar-powered capabilities. He appreciates the yacht's sustainable design choices, such as the efficient energy use and the kite towing system.

The Silent 60's attention to detail, combined with its eco-friendly performance, sets it apart in the luxury yacht market, as evidenced by Nick's enthusiastic endorsement of the vessel.
