Dear Sirs,
We are glad to inform you that Marine Voyage has become the official representative of the Australian shipyard «Silent-Yachts» in Ukraine in 2019.
Silent Yachts, makes boats powered by pure electricity, with guaranteed unlimited cruising range, as long as you sail at an average speed of four knots, making no more than 100 miles per day .
The E-Power version of Silent-Yachts catamarans can top speed at a respectable 20 knots, but at that speed, you can only “show off your neighbor for a few minutes,” he admits.
Of course, cruising and full power range is limited, depending on the model of the yacht, it is 100-150 miles per day. However, this is quite enough for a continuous circumnavigation. For very cloudy days, a generator is provided. The shipyard also has sailing versions of catamarans, which, in addition to solar panels, use recuperation from propellers that play the role of a water turbine when sailing.
All on-board systems, including heating, galley equipment, bathrooms, watermakers, SCR and navionics, on an electric yacht are powered by inverters from lithium batteries, the charge of which comes from solar panel controllers. The catamaran is completely autonomous and you no longer need to plan your itinerary with gas stations and a solid budget for gasoline or diesel, as you used to do on your power cruiser.
The batteries are guaranteed to last 8 years, and the solar panels — 25 years. Moreover, replacing these elements will not be a complete disaster for your wallet. The electric motor does not require intervention and any maintenance at all. Well, except to press fresh grease into the stuffing box.
