Blessing in disguise for Silent-Yachts during pandemic. The Austria based luxury shipyard who has specialized in solar-powered, electric and hybrid catamarans production has reported four new sales and says it currently has eight units in build across production facilities in Italy, Thailand and China.

Founded by Austrian Michael Kohler, The company’s first model was the Silent 55 built in China and its currently also producing three units of the upcoming flagship Silent 80 in Italy, four units of the new Silent 60 in Thailand and Italy, and one unit of the Silent 55 in China. A model displayed at the last two editions of the Cannes Yachting Festival.

 The company’s CEO said “We sold four boats during the peak of the crisis”. We believe people are more aware than ever of the fact we live in a fragile ecological system. There is a high dependency on fossil fuels, which will not be available at any time in any place”.

“People are looking out for yachts that are even more independent from fossil fuels than sailing boats. Silent-Yachts offers the solution, as our catamarans are being powered by the sun. The solar energy harnessed is not only used for propulsion but also supplies energy to all household appliances on board.”
