Silent-Yachts, the esteemed Austrian solar catamaran builder, has set sail on an exciting collaboration with aerospace engineers VRCO and U-Boat Worx. The result? The highly anticipated Silent 120 Explorer catamaran, a game-changer in eco-friendly expedition yachts. This remarkable superyacht, scheduled to make its grand debut in 2024, is poised to revolutionize sustainable luxury exploration.
At the heart of the Silent 120 Explorer’s ecological prowess are its cutting-edge solar panels. Harnessing the power of the sun, these panels generate an impressive 40kWp of energy. This sustainable energy source not only powers the yacht’s hotel mode but also offers the ability to recharge an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, as well as a U-Boat Worx NEMO submarine. The yacht’s solar panels possess a clever design feature, allowing them to slide outboard port and starboard. This innovative mechanism reveals a convenient touch-and-go landing pad, spanning the impressive 13.85-meter beam of the Explorer.
Silent-Yachts has released captivating images of the forthcoming Silent 120 Explorer yacht, giving enthusiasts a glimpse of its allure and advanced technology. The flagship solar catamaran boasts a staggering ability to generate an abundance of energy, capable of powering not only the yacht itself but also all the appliances onboard. This remarkable feat demonstrates Silent-Yachts’ commitment to sustainable luxury and self-sufficiency.
The first Silent 120 Explorer yacht is currently in the process of being built, with an expected launch date set for 2024. Crafted from aluminum, this magnificent vessel offers a spacious interior volume while remaining below the 500 GT mark. The Silent 120 exhibits powerful styling and boasts an interior design envisioned by the talented Marco Casali, ensuring a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality.
Prepare to embark on a new era of eco-friendly exploration with the Silent 120 Explorer. This exceptional catamaran is poised to redefine luxury yachting, showcasing the perfect harmony between innovation, sustainability, and uncompromising style.
