Description
2019 SILENT 55 | Solar-Electric Luxury Catamaran
“Fair Dinkum”
This 2019 SILENT 55 represents a rare opportunity to own one of the world’s most innovative solar-electric catamarans—further distinguished by an extraordinary refit and modernization program exceeding $1,000,000.
Rather than simply maintaining the vessel, her owners undertook an extensive transformation with the goal of creating what is arguably one of the finest SILENT 55s available today. Virtually every aspect of the yacht has been thoughtfully upgraded, from the electrical infrastructure and onboard systems to the interior finishes, furnishings, navigation electronics, and owner amenities.
The result is a yacht that blends the revolutionary efficiency of silent electric propulsion with the comfort, reliability, and luxury expected aboard a premium cruising catamaran. Converted to U.S. 110-volt standards, equipped with upgraded Dometic climate control, Starlink connectivity, premium navigation electronics, beautifully redesigned living spaces, and numerous custom enhancements, she is exceptionally well-suited for extended cruising throughout the Bahamas, Caribbean, and beyond.
Offering whisper-quiet operation, remarkable energy independence, and operating costs that are a fraction of those associated with conventional power yachts, this SILENT 55 is as practical as she is impressive. Her desirable four-stateroom, four-head layout provides exceptional privacy and comfort for owners and guests, making her equally suited for extended family cruising or entertaining aboard. For the discerning buyer seeking sustainable luxury without compromise, this turnkey vessel stands in a class of its own.
