Visitors can explore the Silent 62 3-Deck Open version, optimized for outdoor living with a spacious flybridge designed for dining and lounging. This model highlights the versatility of the Silent 62 design. Silent Yachts will be located at Vieux Port QML 178, with catamaran visits at QML 009.
The Closed version of the Silent 62 3-Deck offers an enclosed upper deck, providing additional indoor space. Both versions feature a 50-square-meter main deck saloon with large windows, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area, creating a bright and open living environment. The exterior main deck area spans 80 square meters, including an aft cockpit for alfresco dining and a foredeck lounge with panoramic views.

The Silent 62 3-Deck incorporates Silent Yachts’ efficient catamaran hull and innovative solar-electric drivetrain. The drivetrain, equipped with liquid-cooled batteries, ensures higher energy density, greater capacity, and faster charging rates. A solar array of 16.8 kWp, twin 180 kW E-motors, and a 286 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, with a 145 kW peak range extender, provide a cruising speed of 6-8 knots and transoceanic range.
The yacht, with a shallow draft of 1.24 meters, accommodates 4 to 6 guest cabins and six bathrooms. The 60-square-meter third deck is available in three configurations: open sky lounge, closed sky lounge, or closed owner’s suite, all with a “front exit” on the main deck for direct access to the foredeck from the main saloon.

Silent-Yachts is producing the world’s first fully solar-sustainable oceangoing production catamaran yachts. They are powered exclusively by solar energy and capable of cruising up to 100 miles per day. In 2009, founders Heike and Michael Köhler, who have spent 6,000 days cruising more than 75,000 miles all around the world, launched the Solarwave 46, the first fully self-sufficient blue-water catamaran after years of testing solar-powered propulsion, and they have been building boats ever since.
