Silent 79. What I tried to achieve is an interesting Italian design, sophisticated and re�ned. This is anice-looking yacht that meets e�ciency.”

The Silent 79 exterior is clean and timeless with straight lines of huge windows. They also allowabundance of natural light �lling the saloon and guest spaces while providing panorama viewsthroughout. Carrying solar panels, the �ybridge adds sportiness to the look thanks to horizontalair grills inspired by supercars but with eco appeal. Both aft and forward outside spaces arespacious to host large, yet intimate, social areas. The cockpit in the aft has a lounge and a bar,while the front area is perfect for chilling under the sun, as it is equipped with a sea-facing sofaand sunpads.

The new yacht is built using vacuum-bagged resin infusion to create a lightweight glass-sandwichcomposite construction that has sound- and temperature-insulating qualities.

Solar Power for unlimited range

Like the Silent 55, the new Silent 79 is an oceangoing solar-electric catamaran that uses silentelectric propulsion for unlimited range without noise or fumes and minimal vibration, she is self-su�cient and virtually maintenance-free.The catamaran is �tted with a pair of electric engines (50kW each in standard “Cruiser” version, 250 kW each in “E-Power” version) and common shafts. Inthe most powerful version, the Silent 79 can reach up to 20 knots but this yacht’s mission is notfocused on speed for sure. However, it o�ers total autonomy with no fuel, fumes, exhausts ornoise.

The system works quite simple and virtually without any maintenance needed. The catamaran iscapable of going at 6-7 knots in complete silence and with unlimited range passing around 100nautical miles per day.

With 70 high-e�ciency solar panels rated for approximately 25 kilowatt-peak, the Silent 79 usesmaximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar charge regulators and the same lithium batteries asused by Tesla, which provide capacity for all-night cruising, while a 15-kVA inverter provides powerfor all household appliances.

The energy production and propulsion systems require hardly any maintenance and produce nofumes or noise. Because of that, the operational costs of the vessels are substantially lowercompared to power yachts using traditional propulsion systems.

The Silent 79 has a generator too but this is only used to recharge the batteries in the rare casewhen higher speed is required for longer periods of time or if the weather is bad for several days.

In addition, a “Hybrid Power” version of the SILENT 79 has a pair of 220 HP motors combined withtwo 14 kW diesel engines.

Flexible layout

The Silent 79 is available in several di�erent layouts. You can �nda huge saloon on the main deck,bene�tting from enormous 10.95 m width, with a galley inside, a lounge and a dining area. Thelower deck is �tted with 4-6 guest cabins and two crew cabins. All staterooms o�er double or twinberths, and all heads include a separate shower. Other layouts are available on request.

“For example, the �rst unit, which is under construction now, has a balanced 4-cabin layout withtwo real owner cabins”, explains Marco Casali. “The aft master suite has a huge room, a study, awalk around closet and even a sauna.”

As there is no actual engine room because the yacht is solar-powered, the Silent 79 has the largestgarage in the category. “There is enough space for a 4.5-meter long tender, an amphibious carand a gyrocopter on �oats, which is quite impressive for a yacht under 24 m long”, commentsMichael Köhler.

Superyacht level inside

The interior of the Silent 79 is completely customizable on the level of superyachts. Since theSilent-Yachts’ heritage is about being green and eco-friendly, the yacht is principally decorated

with lightweight and recyclablematerials that respect the environment.

“Inside the Silent 79 is designed to provide maximum comfort to owner and guests who spendmonths on board in long happy voyages”, said Michael Köhler. “The décor styling is marine, so it isminimalist, ergonomic, muted, and at the same timeluxurious and re�ned to perfection.”

The base price of the Silent 79 is 3.4 million Euro, many options are included as standard, whichusually require extra payment.
