Italian electric yacht manufacturer Silent Yachts says it is busier than ever after coming out of a period of instability.
The shipyard, which was liquidated earlier in 2024, is now headed by majority owner Michael Said, an American-German investor and client of the yard. Silent Yachts’ 180-strong workforce is operating at full capacity to fulfil orders at the shipyard in Fano, Italy.
By the end of 2024, Silent Yachts will have delivered eight new 62s, with an additional eight on order for completion in 2025.
The first Silent 62 — a tri-deck version of the solar-powered catamaran — has recently been handed over to its owner, with seven more due before the end of 2024.
The first two Silent 80s are also due to be delivered next year, bringing the total to 18 yachts in just two years. Despite the brisk output, Silent Yachts says two or three new build slots may become available in 2025.
