- Solar-powered propulsion and household, pure silence through due to electric propulsion

- Clean environment, no vibrations and fumes

- Drive-train and household power supply is virtually free of maintenance

- The generator is only used to recharge the batteries in rare cases and emergency situations - The SILENT 55 is self-sufficient with unlimited range without burning fuel

SILENT-YACHTS is proud to introduce the SILENT 55 at her world debut at the 2018 #cannesyachtingfestival (September 11-16, 2018). The SILENT 55 is the first and only oceangoing solar-electric production catamaran in the world. The #yacht uses silent electric propulsion for unlimited range with no noise or fumes and minimal vibration, she is self-sufficient and virtually maintenance-free.

CONFIGURATIONS
The SILENT 55 is available in several power configurations to suit a variety of cruising applications. All of them stick to the #silentyachts philosophy of relying chiefly on solar power for propulsion and onboard power needs.

The SILENT 55 that was on display in Cannes is an “E-Power” version with 2 x 135 kW motors and can reach up to 14 knots. The model can be equipped as a “Cruiser” version, with a pair of 30 kW motors or a “Hybrid Power” version with 2 x 220 hp diesel engines and two 14 kW electric motors. A “Sailor” version can be equipped with all the previously mentioned drivetrain configurations and is rigged with a mast and sails to provide additional propulsion in fair winds.
