SILENT-YACHTS teamed up with VisionF Yachts to create a 24-meter, full-aluminum hybrid catamaran SILENT VisionF 82. The yacht features an ample space at the foredeck, has a sunken lounge area, a 54-sqm main salon and en plein air dining on the aft deck.
The catamaran’s aluminum construction provides a new level of flexibility in terms of the layout. Various accommodation options in the two hulls are available, but the standard arrangement offers a large master suite of nearly 18 sqm, as well as 3 ensuite guest cabins, one of which can double as an office space.
The SILENT VisionF 82, is a fantastic yacht that will combine the best of both worlds and we are very excited about the first boat due to be finished later this year. The aim of our collaboration with VisionF Yachts is to share our expertise and know-how in order to support other manufacturers. Tesla did something similar by opening up their patents and making the technology available to everyone. Similarly, we are very keen to share information about our propulsion systems to help guide the yachting industry towards a more sustainable future. – Michael Köhler, SILENT- YACHTS founder and CEO
The extended flybridge is equipped with a large solar array to provide electrical energy that can be stored in a Lithium-ion battery bank (160 kWh) to power all the household appliances on board. The eco-friendly vessel offers a noiseless experience without compromise when anchoring in a bay or docked in a marina with zero emissions.
The new addition SILENT VisionF 82 will be equipped with a parallel hybrid drivetrain while a fully electric version is also available. The parallel hybrid system will provide three different driving modes: electric, hybrid and power as a normal option found on a hybrid car. In hybrid mode, depending on speed and battery state, the system will automatically select the electric motor, the diesel engine, or both. In power mode, both the diesel engine and electric motor will be engaged to boost acceleration and speed. Sustainable, electric power at low speeds or at anchor, but faster transits under conventional power, is the perfoct option for those wanting to travel quickly between Miami and the Bahamas.
