Owning a superyacht is a unique way to travel the world while enjoying privacy while enjoying experiences that would otherwise be impossible. And if this is also done in silence, the privilege is guaranteed. Regarding this, electric yachts have a lot to say, and although they continue to be a niche in the maritime market, the number of boats that are joining electrification is increasing.
Shipyards are working to integrate the latest in green technology into their vessels with the aim of navigating towards more sustainable and efficient transportation. While we continue to wait for the arrival of large electric vessels, battery-powered yachts are the advance of what is to come: vessels with a minimal carbon footprint and the ability to navigate without emitting noise.
Electric yachts not only include innovative features, but also strive to demonstrate that sustainability can be accompanied by a level of luxury like that found in traditional vessels.
This is what the company Sialia Yachts comes to defend with its impressive 80 Explorer, presented this past February as the “most advanced exploration yacht in the world.” Its hallmarks are no wonder, as it is a fully electric boat with an incredible range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km) and the ability to navigate through remote and particular areas where larger and more polluting vessels would have limited access. or even restricted.
With an elegant and cutting-edge aesthetic and a total length of 26.6 meters and a width of 8.50 meters, the Sialia 80 Explorer unites the best of two worlds, because apart from being the most innovative in terms of technology, it does not skimp in luxuries and includes a series of unique features.
It is a monohull boat with an aluminum superstructure with a geometric exterior aesthetic in the shape of rhombuses and large glass areas that give it a sporty, futuristic and glamorous personality.
The Sialia 80 Explorer shares the same DNA with all other Sialia custom electric yachts as it is powered by their state-of-the-art AMPROS system. The result is a boat that combines solid performance with impressive range, luxury and comfort.
It features open-plan spaces and many relaxation areas to offer guests a sense of outdoor experience anywhere on the ship, even when they are inside. It can accommodate up to 12 passengers in four cabins and a crew of two in separate rooms. The master suite has direct access to the bathroom area. Also notable is a large outdoor area for dinners with a sophisticated atmosphere.
The Sialia 80 Explorer is powered by dual 400 kW motors that draw energy from an 800 kWh battery and two extended range systems in order to offer the autonomy necessary to travel the world with maximum peace of mind and safety. An estimated cruising speed of 6 knots (11.1 km/h) and a maximum speed of 11 knots (20.3 km/h).
There is still no estimated delivery date for the first unit of the Sialia 80 Explorer, nor has it been informed about its prices. For now, we can enjoy the video of another of the shipyard's previous creations, eager to offer silent boats that do not disturb the landscape.
