If your priority is relaxed boating and ample accommodation, these things are just fantastic. A perfect boat, in my opinion. So glad you finally snagged a tour for us, Nick.

Thanks Nick. Yes, I’ve been one of “those people” who were asking for this tour. It’ll never happen, but this is absolutely my dream yacht. The technology is amazing, and as batteries improve, the capabilities will as well. If I’m not mistaken, a Silent 55 has done a trans-Atlantic crossing.

@@darthkek1953 They set out in Feb into head winds and swells with a full crew to go to a Florida boat show so they had to keep to a time table . The motors were weaker back then 135w and they were using all systems cooking and heating air con. They still didnt use much fuel in the generators and they dont run full time they recharge/top up then switch off till they drop to a pre set. Then if solars not enough the generator cuts in again. Theres also the option of deploying an automated parra kite sail to assist in crossings 😎. If you need to run flat out the generator can support the constant draw.. Fold up booster panels could be placed on the fore deck sunning area or aft. 🤔 BYD blade cells are likely to be even safer and have better performance but the real jump will come with the switch to Na cells .. that need no Li or the other rare metals ...in fact they use Al so you save wt and cost over even Copper. 😎 As well as increased capacity and draw. The motors are virtually maintainance free and guaranteed for a number of years .. The generators sighted in the other hull tech compartment. So its quiet even running and runs at optimum performance not having to slow down or come under sudden transmission loads. The whole vessel is thoroughly insulated from heat and cold...as well as being well passively ventilated.

That has to be the coolest yacht I've ever seen. I've always liked separate entrances to cabins. You are really testing my loyalty to Nordhavn. Lol .. Dan

With electric vehicle technology, one thing to keep in mind is that this is still probably a shadow of what can be accomplished. If you just look at Formula E racing, we've gone from requiring 2 cars to complete a full race due to battery and regeneration limitations, to a faster car that can complete a full race by itself with gen 2 and now with gen 3 we'll have a car that can do over 200mph and has such great regeneration it will do away with rear mechanical brakes. It's worth keeping in mind when looking at these Silent Catamarans. It's quite possible that either by breakthroughs in tech or small advancements or just more efficient manufacturing processes, there will one day be boats that can outdo this one in every way at more or less the same cost, maybe even cheaper. Certainly I think it's the way forward with sailing boats, to still use the wind on the sails as a primary source of locomotion, while generating power for the batteries through the propeller.

Still, with this boat you will probably only use really little electricity in it's lifetime, maybe, if it's possible for the boat to send power back to the grid, it can even generate more then it have used all in all. That would be a lot of money saved on fuel and electricity, and a good help for global warming.

These would be great out here in Australia with so much sun generally available. Also the solid panels replace all those sun roofs that you would have to close anyway because it's so hot! That's one thing I say to myself during a lot of tours of euro boats is they have too much glass and not enough fridges!

One of the best catamaran layouts I've ever seen! Nothing feels awkward or contrived. Of course, I love the gadgets and convertible furniture.

At last! I've been waiting nearly two years for you to take us aboard a silent yacht. Thank you. For a fifty five foot there is a remarkable amount of space. Absolutely stunning. 60, 80 then the rumoured 120 next to show us around!

That is a beautiful boat. I am sure it will be one of the paradigms for future motor yachting. Batteries, motors and solar panels are all improving and the prices should be going down as well. They offer battery banks, motors and generators of different sizes. They even have a kite option (instead of sails). It seems the perfect boat for a cruising couple/family without the work and expenses of a sailing rig. It is obviously perfect for off grid living.

It's been so interesting to watch the development of both solar panels and batteries. For a number of years the panel's efficiency was well ahead of the battery's capability to store and distribute the power in a relatively cost effective manner. But now that these two technologies have advanced greatly and are now advancing together, boats such as this are becoming even more viable. I can see the batteries reducing in size and weight and increasing in storage capacity while solar panels increase in efficiency. It's going to make boats such as this more and more viable. But even now, there's nothing missing in comfort and capability with this particular boat. Great boat, great tour.

The battery only lasts for an hour with top speed on the e power+ option, the solar cells only produce 50-60kw per day which will take forever to charge up the 300kw battery. It's probably better to wait a few years considering this is all rather new and improvement in ship design even without drastic leaps in solar tech and just reasonable gains in battery tech will have a big impact on the overall viability of the ship.

Hi Nick, I think the reason for the height of the owners berth is because it goes up into the main deck a little, rather than staying in one of the pontoons. The downside of this is that you get more “slapping” under way. Of course most time on this sort of boat is at anchor and not on passage, so for most people it’s not a problem.

Absolutely incredible boat. Such power from the sun. Great cabin set up with the 4 x double beds and 4 x en-suite. Great tour Nick. Never let us down.

I remember asking what the E future for boats was a while ago, it’s good to see the technology making its way through in such a great way, fantastic video as always 👍

Nick- you did not disappoint. The Silent series is absolutely fascinating. As battery storage continues to evolve, these yachts will continue to get better. Add another full size fridge and a W/D to make this a true liveaboard. I can see myself traversing from the Gulf of Mexico to New England and back to the Caribbean continually, without using(or smelling) a drop of petroleum !

Ha, been waiting so long, I had forgotten about these! Excellent tour, thanks!

Awesome Nick. This boat is just amazing. The fit and finish is lovely and the best part is the amount of room giving all guests an incredible amount of space. The best part is the efficiency of the electrics. As you mentioned if your not in a hurry you can go all day for “free’. Thanks again Nick Cheers

Brilliant boat. Perfect for slow cruising. I believe the bigger brother to this has its own parachute kite type thing which can pull the boat along as well. Fantastic. Thank you. More of these please.

Electric powered boats seems like a no brainer. Free energy, no need for shore power, no noise / vibration, no exhaust no need for expensive diesel, simpler servicing. While you might still want a small generator for emergencies or longer trips I don't see why this shouldn't become the default for all boats. For this particular boat with the front access I wonder why they don't have more narrow sides which would mean more space inside and also more space on top for panels.

Funnily enough, its more of a "brainer" than ever, given the usage pattern of boats, with larger ones using more power, at higher speeds. All things that solar powered electric cant really do, and probably wont for quite some time in the future. So thats what counts against it for now. So conversely, from a usage pattern this getting to be the "default" for all boats, it is moving further away... Sometimes things are a bit different than what one might expect.

My Wish Was To See You On This Boat .Thank You Captain Nick For Professional Presentation .

Absolutely gorgeous boat, it really is a floating holiday villa and perfect for cruising in the Med or the Adriatic where you rarely have to outrun anything or hurry anywhere, or for river or canal cruising in mainland Europe! I love the trampoline sunbeds, and actually preferred cabin 4 over the others, it seemed a little lighter. The only thing that lets it down a touch is the chipboard interior, which is already getting knocked and showing itself in places (hope that corner of the pullout desk wasn't you, Nick!), it looks fine until it takes a dink! A delightful boat. I went on the site and looked at their other offers, the 80 foot is just something else...

Great boat! Beautiful and spacious. The green leaves as a sink are a nice reference to the green character of the ship. Very tasteful! And as usual a very detailed tour!!

Absolutely love this. Saw a travel vlog by Kara and Nate about these yachts and they were out with b the company founder. So interesting to hear of the development etc and the fact he insisted on a generator as it would be irresponsible not to have one. They also crossed the Atlantic 2x and sailed from northern Europe to Majorca.

Das ist wirklich eine traumhafte Yacht. Mit der Sonne - der Sonne entgegen.

Finally! Thank you Nick!

FYI: Just to let people know, this Hull #7 is completely DIFFERENT then many of the other hulls of this length I have seen from the same manufacturer. I am actually stunned at how different the layout is as apparently each owner can design their own version as they see fit.

That’s great!

Overall, they look to be a great boat. There are lots of things to like: Basically unlimited range at low speeds, generator backup for when you need to discharge the batteries. It would be great as a liveaboard with plenty of space, more than enough kitchen and living space. Would prefer lower beds, but like you mentioned, the high beds were a customer option for that boat. If I was going to liveaboard, I'd re-purpose one cabin as an office/games room :) There are a few things that I'm not so keen on though: 1. The lower helm is way too far back from the windows, and seems like too big of a compromise (both in terms of sea-keeping and compromising the space in the room), for the sake of easier cabin access. I'd much rather have the helm right up at the front window, so you get a better view, and quicker access to the door. 2. I'd also prefer a helm side door, but realise that it may not be possible with the configuration of these boats. The front door option is fine, so long as the helm is close enough (see 1). 3. I'd still like a wheel on the lower helm, but that's just me. 4. Would like an outdoor grill somewhere - if you're going to be in sunny places, may as well enjoy the outdoors! I had heard (don't know if it's true or not) that Silent Yachts had had a quality control problem, but hopefully anything like that would just be teething issues, and sorted out in later hulls. Of course, I'd still need to win the lottery to be able to afford one!
