€2.25 Million Electric Yacht Tour : Silent Yacht 55

This is incredible, a boat powered by the sun! Welcome to the Silent 55.

If your priority is relaxed boating and ample accommodation, these things are just fantastic. A perfect boat, in my opinion.

So glad you finally snagged a tour for us, Nick.

This or the 60 is my dream yacht. Loads of space, no worries about where to fuel. And a pretty great profile for a catamaran. I was reading that the 60 even had a kite-wing sail. A definite home on the water. Thanks for the tour Nick!

Thanks Nick. Yes, I’ve been one of “those people” who were asking for this tour. It’ll never happen, but this is absolutely my dream yacht. The technology is amazing, and as batteries improve, the capabilities will as well. If I’m not mistaken, a Silent 55 has done a trans-Atlantic crossing.

Brilliant tour Nick, thank you! Even excluding the obvious (and outstandingly incredible!) advantages, it’s also just a really nice floating space! This has rocketed up the “want” list!!

Fantastic! The future of boating. Thanks Nick for sharing and a Happy Mothers Day to Mary Anne.

Absolutely stunning, free power, low running costs without the oil and filter changes, it's the future. Lots of pluses on this boat full size proper fridge complete with an ice maker that will work with a full size dishwasher. The cabins, 4 double beds wow. This for me is a yacht that is a haven for relaxation, the day bed in the cabin love it. This is the best yacht we have seen for a while, great video Nick

[terrywalker]

Ha, been waiting so long, I had forgotten about these! Excellent tour, thanks!

Nick, in a word... Wow ! Can you imagine saying to your guests "Let's go up to the fly bridge", (with the panels down) Then the look on their faces as you hit the button to raise the solar top. That has to be the coolest yacht I've ever seen. I've always liked separate entrances to cabins. You are really testing my loyalty to Nordhavn. Lol .. Dan

[nickmaguire]

These would be great out here in Australia with so much sun generally available. Also the solid panels replace all those sun roofs that you would have to close anyway because it's so hot! That's one thing I say to myself during a lot of tours of euro boats is they have too much glass and not enough fridges!

[davidfmelbourne]

It's been so interesting to watch the development of both solar panels and batteries. For a number of years the panel's efficiency was well ahead of the battery's capability to store and distribute the power in a relatively cost effective manner. But now that these two technologies have advanced greatly and are now advancing together, boats such as this are becoming even more viable. I can see the batteries reducing in size and weight and increasing in storage capacity while solar panels increase in efficiency. It's going to make boats such as this more and more viable. But even now, there's nothing missing in comfort and capability with this particular boat. Great boat, great tour.

Dont know what I was doing 3 week ago but I missed this. And I was one of the people asking for it. Thanks for listening too your viewers and doing this. 👍

Beautiful catamaran, found beds to be hieght of top bunk. Then saw comment futher back and indeed bed space goes under main lounge. As the hull is too narrow. Then it made sence.
Massive thanks for wonderful tour Nick 👍👍

[trentstoner]

At last! I've been waiting nearly two years for you to take us aboard a silent yacht. Thank you. For a fifty five foot there is a remarkable amount of space. Absolutely stunning. 60, 80 then the rumoured 120 next to show us around!

[sireion]

One of the best catamaran layouts I've ever seen! Nothing feels awkward or contrived. Of course, I love the gadgets and convertible furniture.

[peterbridges]

Brilliant boat. Perfect for slow cruising. I believe the bigger brother to this has its own parachute kite type thing which can pull the boat along as well. Fantastic. Thank you. More of these please.

[legion]

Running unlimited is just a dream; what a fantastic achievement

[ryenk]

@12:51 PERPETUAL MOTION NICK YOU DISCOVERED IT! lol great review!

[maxfella]

Thank you Nick.
I was waiting for the silent 50, 60 and 80!
Please look into their new partnership and new amazing new yaght.

[calvnandhbbes]

I remember asking what the E future for boats was a while ago, it’s good to see the technology making its way through in such a great way, fantastic video as always 👍

[kieranharriman]

Absolutely incredible boat. Such power from the sun. Great cabin set up with the 4 x double beds and 4 x en-suite. Great tour Nick. Never let us down.
