Bang! Any sailor will tell you that an explosion at sea due to onboard propane gas is often one of their worst fears. Yet in this day and age there’s no need for it. Indeed Victron Energy’s owners have been using induction cooking battery power as the safe alternative for many years on their family yacht. And of course that means having high power inverter\/chargers onboard. No problem when you own the company and make the ever popular MultiPlus & Quattro<\/a> range!<\/p>\n

It seems Victron are not the only company to think this way – yet Silent-Yachts have gone a stage or indeed many stages further and completely re-imagined the whole sailing and cruising experience utilising a range of Victron products including the 3 paralleled Quattros in the image above, fitted to one of a ‘new class’ of cruising yacht.<\/p>\n

What kind of sailor are you?<\/h3>\n

Ask yourself this one simple question: How much time do you actually spend sailing or to put it another way – how often are you waiting for wind, from the right direction to get you directly to your destination at a reasonable speed in comfort?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As most sailors will tell you that can be often and of course as sailors we are reluctant to admit it and loathe to start that diesel. What then if there was a quiet, luxurious way to cruise that minimised the use of fossil fuels yet still afforded you as much electricity onboard as you’d expect at home. That’s where Silent-Yachts come in\u00a0 – offering vessels just below the designated Superyacht length of 24 metres, yet with all the amenities you’d expect of such a vessel. And it doesn’t matter if that be sail or power – there’s a solution for all.<\/p>\n

Cruising re-imagined<\/h3>\n

Just as Tesla have re-imagined the car, likewise have Silent-Yachts re-imagined (and proven) this new class of production cruising yacht. Admittedly you need a few bob to own one as we say in the UK. Yet, if you’ve reached a certain income and you want to really enjoy your family time together at sea (in the limited time you likely have available) and actually get to where you want to go to in a timely manner, quietly and in luxury – then one of the offerings from Silent-Yachts may just be for you.<\/p>\n
