The Silent 62 “100%” completed an Atlantic crossing of around 3,800 nautical miles consuming about 5,500 litres of fuel. Powered by batteries for 72% of the journey, the crossing resulted in fuel consumption approximately 40% lower than that of a conventional 60-foot motor-driven catamaran over a similar distance.
Real-time data from our ongoing Atlantic passage show how the combination of solar-electric propulsion and kite assistance can keep a 62-foot yacht moving at steady offshore speeds with exceptionally low energy demand.
Embark on an eco-efficient journey through the Virgin Islands aboard the Silent Yachts SY62 3-Deck. Over 9 days, the yacht covers 119 miles with the generator running for just 3% of the trip. The itinerary showcases the yacht’s impressive energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
BoatTest’s freshly published review delves into the SY62 3-Deck’s groundbreaking electrical systems, highlighting its ability to cruise entirely on solar power. With no generator use, the yacht covered 120 nautical miles over seven days, showcasing Silent Yachts’ commitment to redefining sustainable yachting. For Capt. Boomies, the SY62 is “a radically different vessel” and we couldn’t agree more.
Curious about an independent review? Check out the detailed performance test of our SY62 3-Deck by @BoatTest! We’re incredibly grateful to BoatTest, Capt. Boomies, and Capt. Charlotte for spending time onboard our solar-electric catamaran and sharing their honest evaluation.
On our recent 4-day adventure in beautiful Croatia aboard the world’s “Most Efficient Yacht”, we carefully tracked everything day by day: battery levels, distance traveled, and how little we relied on the generator during daily cruising. Now, we’re excited to share this data with you, showcasing just how our yachts truly shine on the water.
Silent Yachts’ range is designed to harness the power of the sun, providing green energy and silent cruising. But what can owners truly expect? How much power does the SY62 use while cruising? In this article, we evaluate a typical day onboard the SY62, based on actual data from our yachts.
Let’s break down the advantages of harnessing the sun’s energy for yacht propulsion: solar power offers remarkable efficiency, significant environmental benefits, and an unmatched synergy with the yachting experience. In this article, we dive into the future of sustainable yachting and discover how solar-powered yachts are revolutionizing the seas.
Unsere neuesten SY62 sind mit der nächsten Generation des zurzeit ohnehin schon fortschrittlichsten und zuverlässigsten solarelektrischen Antriebsstrangs ausgestattet. In diesem Kapitel stellen wir Ihnen die Upgrades und Vorteile vor.
Die Grundlagen unseres Silent Drivetrain gehen auf den Prototyp der Solarwave 46 aus dem Jahr 2009 zurück. Seitdem hat unser Team immer wieder Änderungen am System vorgenommen, um die Leistung und Effizienz weiter zu steigern und zu verbessern. Unsere jüngste Generation des Silent Drivetrain nimmt wesentliche Änderungen an den Kernkomponenten vor, um das System auf die nächste Stufe zu bringen. Gleichzeitig behält die neue Version das hohe Maß an Sicherheit bei, welches die Vorgänger bereits boten.
