Built as an evolution of the popular Silent 80, of which five units have already been sold, the Silent 80 Tri-Deck from Silent-Yachts will offer more space. The 24.3-metre concept is designed with an additional 90-square-metre deck.

With prices starting at €4,920,000 depending on the layout, owners and their guests can enjoy the yacht’s silent electric propulsion, which is able to achieve unlimited range with no noise, fumes or vibration.

The Silent 80 Tri-Deck uses maximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar charge regulators and the same lithium batteries as used by Tesla, which provide capacity for all-night cruising, while a 20-kVA inverter provides power for all household appliances.

The extra space on top extends social areas onboard while offering new opportunities in terms of layout.”

Built using vacuum-bagged resin infusion and with lightweight interior décor made from recyclable materials, the Silent 80 Tri-Deck boasts a light displacement of 60 tons.
