The Austrian-owned solar-electric catamaran builder has launched the first Silent 62 3-Deck at its facility in Italy.
Silent-Yachts has launched the first Silent 62 3-Deck solar-electric catamaran at its facility in Fano, Italy. The Austrian-owned company has produced multiple units of the Silent 60 and slightly extended 62, but the 62 3-Deck is the first version with a full flybridge.
The top deck can be ordered as an open sky lounge – as seen on the first unit – a closed sky lounge or closed owner’s suite. The model’s other options include a forward saloon door to the foredeck, which has been included on the latest launch.
Fabrizio Iarrera, CEO of Silent-Yachts, said: “The launch of our first Silent 62 3-Deck is a proud moment as we continue to innovate and expand the Silent range. It’s also positive proof that the brand continues to operate normally and is focused on delivering boats to clients.”
The first Silent 62 3-Deck’s open flybridge offers full dining facilities, while the interior includes five-plus-one cabins for up to 12 overnight guests, as well as six bathrooms.
The Silent 62 3-Deck shares the same ultra-efficient drivetrain as the two Silent 62 catamarans launched at the end of last year. This next-generation drivetrain implements a 286kWh, liquid-cooled Lithium-ion battery pack with higher energy density, greater capacity and faster charging rates, due to optimised thermal management.
The CE A yacht is also equipped with 16.8kWp of solar panels, twin 180kW E-motors and a range extender, offering a cruising speed of six-eight knots and transoceanic range. Silent-Yachts plans to deliver the first Silent 62 3-Deck to its owners in a few weeks.
