Aquon Yachts use solar with batteries, however, use part of the energy to create hydrogen from seawater, stored in tanks that hold the equivalent of more than 100 times the power the battery banks hold. Add Veem propellers which greatly reduce cavitation and friction, you could cruise at 10 or more knots indefinitely even with a solid week of cloud cover.

So what happened to the SY 120 that was in build or the SY 80 that was also in build? I don’t think any SY 80’s were ever completed. The SY 120 they said would be finished this year but I guess not anymore.

Both batteries and solar panels are improving slowly each year. While this may not seem like much, added together these yatchs will improve quite allot over a 10 year period and will not require any major redesign, just use of the new batteries and panels as they come out.

I think solar/electric has its place in island hopping/coastal cruisers. Silent Yacht should have focused on all the customers needs. Size (36/40/45) for the entry-level, budget minded. Solar/Electric and Diesel/Electric Hybrid for longer cruising and redundancy. Lastly, Silent Yacht NEVER showed the numbers and video of deploying the kite sail. Would like to see real numbers and the time/effort to utilize this sail.

There was supposed to be a 44 I believe..but that never happened

i will buy this when i win the euro millions this week with the sub and the flying car and maybe get a hover skateboard too

yeah im going to have one before i die

🎉🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

only 21 million? I'll take 10 of them

WEF should fund them.

I think it’s valued around 50M$

Just like Tesla cars people are freaking "scared" cuz they think they might be stranded cuz of charging. REALLY PEOPLE? PEOPLE ARE JUST FREAKING AFRAID OF CHANGES. Electric is the future like it or not. People are just hating just like people are hating on Tesla.

Hopefully they push through as I will purchase one in next few years!

I dig the 129, but I'd prefer it to have hybrid propulsion like the Vision hybrid drive.

Јахту може си приуштити само веома богата особа. Он ће купити пар јахти за посао и уживање и то је то. Круг купаца је ипак мали. Чак и да повећате производњу и неким чудом смањите трошкове производње и даље ће бити скупи. У овом послу , изгледа, нема јефтине улазнице док се не појаве кинези. Верујем да би њихова верзија бити бар 10 пута јефтинија. Дотле ми ћемо гледати уоutube и сањати (вероватно и тад). У сваком случају сретно. Мала бара а пуно крокодила.

I would certainly feel incredibly jalouse and envious of anyone who has one of those ..they are fantastic.

Oh my heart just broke when I heard about the Bankruptcy, I hope it won't affect the workmanship of such beautiful yatch, I definitely would buy one if only I could afford it, Well I thought about all the ones that have already been sold, where would they get replacement parts if something breaks, SILENT, you have one of those (60) with my name on it, just waiting for me to come get it, But the Dam lottery keeps shrugging its shoulders and thumbing its nose at me, But one of these days ,I beg of you, just wait for me.😊

Disgusting 🤮

the history around italy building infastructure not good crumbling bridges and roads and tunnels and sinking venice only thing they done good was supercars

I don't understand.. Silent Yatch is selling well.. they going to introduce the 100M mega version as well

Just FYI, SY has been acquired by one of its clients Michael Said. They're fine.

That's beautiful no words can describe it

Cryptocurrency is ready for the ne t bull run. I am very passionate about 🎉😢 this company.

Lots of panel space on the sides to catch Raya reflecting from the water... Looking forward to see pretty much completely solar panel covered designs

sunreef needs to increase their product categories, produce sail yachts, motor boats etc

Because straight electric with solar charging is stupid! Diesel electric hybrid with solar backup is where its at! Just because someone's rich doesn't mean they can afford to sit around 8 hours and wait for their boat to charge up (or up to 16 hours if they ran out right before sundown). Greenline has the right idea!

Too slow unfortunately

I have been keenly observing silent yacht since last 2 years as I am very much interested in sustainable transport especially yachting. I appreciate the effort, vision and goal of the silent yacht but I always found it a bit overrated and more of marketing gimmick because slient yachts is neither the first nor the only solar yacht producer rather I prefer the solutions from Sunreef and HH yacht that combines solar and sails with regen through propeller

Make more affordable cruisers.

I do not like to see any innovative company have issues but I must be honest here. Every sailor has unexpectedly found themselves in heavy storm seas and at night where a battery alone will not last and you must maintain propulsion. Ocean storms come up fast and sometimes unpredictably on the ocean and you must maintain headway in a proper direction in heavy seas or they will eat a boat up. Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you cannot out run them or swing around them. Any lack of power to the electric motors is a death nell in that situation. I cannot see an electric only boat filling that requirement in today's current systems state. Electric propulsion must be combined with other forms such that it compliments for the maintenance of propulsion through a night's heavy seas. Even a small diesel on a sail boat with a sliver of a furling out can keep its bow into the rollers even making negative headway and keep from being capsized. I can see this combines with either sail or diesel tech such that one becomes a backup and compliments the other. I'm sorry, but I would not be on an all electric boat in blue water. Of course, I could be misunderstanding something about these ships.

I wish they'd build a tiny catamaran for ~500k.

Yes, if I had a chance and money, I’ll buy it

I love this concept. Just peace and independence. I could help them if they wanted lol.

I hope to buy one someday

I love to buy one when the battery technology can allow the yacht to go faster.

Translated: Although too little internal information is openly available, I assume that there has been a clear breach of contract. Whether the Turkish/Dutch partner was just playing too much poker with contract back payments and was caught up in the technical accounting laws or was deliberately trying to damage a competitor that was growing too quickly can only be seen after a judicial investigation. It is bitter for Michael Kohler to hand over his life's work to someone else. Conclusion? Explosive success attracts false friends. The "good advice" written here and in other forums does not see all the visible facts or has too little experience of an entrepreneurial life. In the euphoria of overwhelming success, malicious influences are often not recognized. People are often caught up in their work-filled world. Perhaps that was also the case here. A greeting to all honest people who share their inspirations with others

Yer I would buy it

Rich people are usually difficult to squeeze money out of in advance. They had orders, but I reckon some rich fuckers reneged and screwed the company's cash flow

Thank goodness for customization. Say afloat

Cooperate word salad for, they got 'leaned' on. Every company, especially with a ground breaking product, will reach a point where they are , potential rich, but cash poor. That's when the sharks move in, miss one payment and they get your whole company. One thing for sure, this is the future of yachting, we will never forget who developed it.

I hoped to buy, in 15 years, a used one and to enjoy my retirement on it 😊

Gee what a surprise! Make a yacht nobody can afford and go bankrupt. I kept saying, they need a consumer version that the average guy who might have a million or two could afford. Like a 40' version or less, but nope.

i want one sierra leone how i can get?

Hello - I´m Michael Köhler, CEO and founder of Silent Yachts. Thank you "Yacht Section" for the great ,unbiased and fair video and thanks to the community for the positive comments below! Let me be very clear. VisionF stopped the production - they issued a press release stating, that Silent Yachts owes them money. This is not the case. VisionF issued some invoices that were objected by us, partly because of quality reasons but mainly as the invoiced milestones have clearly not been accomplished. This has been confirmed by an independent team of surveyors, that clearly showed evidence on way more than 100 pages, that Silent Yachts doesn´t owe any money to VisionF, but that VisionF is late in the production way more than one year. Until end of 2023 VisionF should have delivered 21 yachts up to 120 feet to Silent Yachts. They delivered not even one. The boats that were produced in Turkey are now shrink-wrapped, all production had been stopped in November 2023. VisionF owes Silent Yachts millions on dowmpayments that we made for yachts, that have never been started. To sue VisionF would cost millions and would take years. Silent Yachts paid all its invoices, never had bank loans, we went bankrupt with a full orderbook and a well running production facility in Italy, because the 21 yachts that we ordered in Turkey were not delivered. Our clients are our only creditors, we owe them the delivery of their yachts. This is why we went bankrupt. We are now producing all Silent 62 in Italy - also those that were started in Turkey will be started again in Italy and delivered to our clients. We are planning to do the same with the Silent 80 and Silent 120. We are working hard to make our clients happy. They are our biggest asset. We do not want to look back, we llook forward into the future and the future will show, who told the truth, and who will continue to deliver boats. Thank you again for your kind comments!

Mr. Michael and ms. Heike invested their entire life in this company. I deeply hope they will find solutions for curent finances. Go Silent Yachts!

Climate control is a hoax, and the military are about to release the full details to the world and all those involved in the fraud, a silent boat is still to my liking tho, even tho fossil fuels are not in danger nor do any harm to the planet. Oil is a natural liquid in our earth just the same a water, and it can not be used up or scarce...

Anyone know if anyone has tried to circumvent with one of these things? I've heard of the guy in the Atlantic but I wanna know if someone was ballsy enough to take it across pacific

I believe they have proven proof of concept, there is definitely a market for sustainable yachting. But whether it's Silent Yachts or Vision E or F, they need to break out of this mold of only producing Catamarans.

Topaz and history supreme yacht interior please

Go figure, despite the vast subsidies received to produce a substandard unreliable product that such a company would find itself in trouble...not to mention that that niche group that could afford one of these proverbial pet rocks wouldn't only do so to look good on social media. The technology despite massive subsidies is not there and those that can actually afford this green energy fail want to get to their respective engagements in a timely manner. Til that happens this company is worthless
