Builder Silent Yachts

The history of the company

Michael Köhler and his wife Heike have done a tremendous job. The founders of Silent Yachts have been sailing the oceans on sailboats and motorboats for over 20 years. From 2005 to 2009, the pair tested alternative energy sources on their yachts and the result was the construction of catamaran Solarwave 46.

The multihull has become the first ocean-class vessel powered by solar panels with 24-hour operation not only of the engines, but also of all systems including the oven, air conditioning and heater.

For the next five years, Michael has traveled and tested Solarwave 46 in a variety of conditions in the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Aegean Sea and European channels. The boat and equipment proved to be the best.

The next step was the opening of the shipyard, which made a real revolution in shipbuilding.

Status

It's working.

Production

The company has its own production facilities in Fano, Italy. Silent Yachts also build boats in Istanbul, Turkey. All materials and components are supplied by well-known partners - Miele, Bosch, Kohler, Gianneschi, Haeffele, etc.

Model range

The range is represented by motor cruise catamarans with lengths from 13.4 to 25 meters.

Features

Silent Yachts catamarans are equipped with advanced green technology. In addition to economical equipment, the boat can be equipped with a kite (alternative to sail), which will create additional thrust.

Practice shows that electric motors help to save not only on fuel but also on maintenance and repair due to high reliability. For all the advantages, the cost of Silent boats is comparable to «classmates» with traditional engines.
