Aside from a great concept, I'm impressed with the quality. There's another relatively new sailboat manufacturer with a great product, I just wish the quality was at your level.
what you achieved is a big thing, really appreciated. I am huge fan and A "guided" walk through the SILENT 55 would be much more better like the drivetrain video
@@silentyachts I think if you provided more data in your videos such as realistic range etc with the 55 then you would get more sails. I for one would love to know more details on how she does with the kite sail on the 55.If I was ordering one I would go for the cruiser spec with kite sail. I assume you could easily cross the atlantic with the cruiser configuration of the 55 with the kite sail configuration?
I know there are about a million and a half dollar starting price but I take it on the long run it would be cheaper than your half-million-dollar boots because there's less maintenance I know electric motors can last forever my friend work in a power plant that was built in the forties and he said they've been using the same electric motors since the plant opened If you had to use the diesel generator to go faster what kind of fuel economy would you get do you think you can make it across the Atlantic New York to London on one tank of fuel
@@abseconPC The engine is just a fraction of the overall maintenace of a boat. This million and a half dollars boat will be MORE expensive to maintain than the half million boat you mentioned. By the way, you realize there are SAILboats, right? Which you can fit with an electric engine instead of a diesel one; and be as clean, green, and autonomous as this catamaran. Well, even with a diesel engine they are PRETTY clear, green, whatever. Of course, with this catamaran the difference is that you are missing the fun (or saving the hassle, depends on you) of the sails.
About the tenders, can you put a jet tender instead of a rib with an outboard? As this ship is more for long range economic gentle cruising. I don't think a 20 hp outboard is powerful enough to tow to do things like water skiing or wakeboarding in open seas (not calmed waters). What are the maximum dimensions and weight it can carry?
I’m slightly confused by the claimed “unlimited range”. The video says there are 28 x 5Kwh lithium batteries giving a total of 140Kwh. The engines are listed as 135Kw / 30Kw. I’m guessing the 30Kw is at cruising speed? So the battery bank would be depleted after 4 and a half hours at cruising speed and the solar array can only provide 9Kw at peak performance. And I’m only doing the maths with one engine, surely there must be two? Don’t get me wrong I love the concept, I drive a Tesla and have electric everything so I’m just trying to get my head around the dynamics. I would say though that it was sad not to see an electric outboard on the tender!
I love it, I wish one day I can afford one or just go on a trip in one!!! Any names of the already delivered one so I can track them on Marine traffic site?
lOVE THE BOAT, but the forward view seems horrible. But as they are there and one is having that limited view, I would like to see the front solarpanels be extended to above the trampoline adding like 30% surface and energy. Maybe with the option to slide them under/on the current frontpanels when enough sun available. Can the flybridge be put down to prevent shadows on panels? A version without flybridge and more panels up front might be interesting.
I wonder, can the battery storage be supplemented with a Tesla PowerWall for even more energy storage? With the new advancements Tesla is making regarding batteries it might be a nice selling feature.
Would be interested in learning the difference between the average cruising speed of this boat compared to a 55" sailing catamaran. One things for sure with this boat you can cruise in a straight line, and for a lot less work.
Not a big fan of hiding away emergency equipment like life rafts... granted it's something you hopefully will never need, but if you do the last thing you want to do is try and dig it out of a locker... strap em on deck somewhere please.
Video just starts at a random spot and you have no idea where it's located...no clear view of the yacht or layout. Just filming in a bathroom then a hallway...BAD!!!
Hi there! Sure you can. Our Silent 64 already crossed the altantic. You can check out the video here: ruclips.net/video/bDF5KgB_8nA/видео.html&feature=emb_title
I am absolutely in love with the Silent 60
Nick from aquaholic needs to review these boats
True, true. There is so little visual in the internet about this company!
Yes he does, I think they are amazing but would love to hear what he has to say about them
I just came across this amazing vessel. I didn't know I want one !
I will have an electric catamaran in the future. This might be the one.

Thank you very much Alex!

Hello Samed Yumrukcu. Thanks for your kind words! There will be more video footage of the S55 available after Summer 2019. Stay updated! Kind regards

Awesome boat. Was hoping for more of a tour style video. The music is a bit much.
Please build these as fast as possible.
I take it if you keep it at the right speed you can probably cross the ocean without using a drop of fuel and keeping your AC running a nice and cool
Yes with the rights speeds and weather conditions that is possible.

Love the S55.... re the viewing/captaining.... seems very small letterbox window.... very strange concept.

I want it!
4:39 😂🤣😔you can lock the heads from outside
Good observation!
Will these yachts work in the Pacific Northwest?
Hi there! All our yachts are trans-ocean, so yes they will also work in the pacific northwest.

Why don't they make these anymore?
How many guests are coast guard approved for this vessel?
Incredible boat, anyone know what the clearance, height is on these guys?
~ 3 feet
I love it, I wish one day I can afford one or just go on a trip in one!!! Any names of the already delivered one so I can track them on Marine traffic site?
Hi Vencislav! Sure - our SILENT 64 is called "SOLARWAVE SW64" & our 55 is called "SILENT".
lOVE THE BOAT, but the forward view seems horrible.

those are like 10kwh, wont make a dent in terms of propulsion, maybe provide a night of ac or a day cooking at most
Can I put a jetski on this
Soo geil

Hi there Kurt ! The average cruising speed is around 6 knots on the Silent 55.
Beautiful boat but the video needs a makeover
Magic

Are these things for real? Can I sail the Pacific or Atlantic in them?
Hi there! Sure you can. Our Silent 64 already crossed the altantic. You can check out the video here: ruclips.net/video/bDF5KgB_8nA/видео.html&feature=emb_title
Euromillion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd silent yacht walkthrough I have seen today....music video with silent review...useless...get Aquaholic in there & stop messing about...
