Austria’s Silent-Yachts has unveiled its first vessel built in collaboration with VisionF Yachts – the Silent VisionF 82, a 24m full-aluminum hybrid catamaran.

The Silent VisionF 82 is slightly longer but less beamy than the Silent 80, with more space dedicated to the foredeck which has a sunken lounge area. There is still room, however, for a comfortable 54m² main salon and dining on the aft deck.

The aluminum construction grants a new level of flexibility regarding the layout, says Silent. Various accommodation options in the two hulls are available, but the standard arrangement offers a large master suite of nearly 18m², as well as three ensuite guest cabins, one of which can double as an office space.

The extended flybridge is fitted with a large solar array like other Silent yachts to provide electrical energy that can be stored in a Lithium-ion battery bank (160kWh) to power all the household appliances on board.

The Silent VisionF 82 will be equipped with a parallel hybrid drivetrain while a fully electric version is also available. The parallel hybrid system will offer three different driving modes: electric, hybrid and power as a normal option you may find on a hybrid car.

In hybrid mode, the system will automatically select the electric motor, the diesel engine or both, depending on factors such as speed and battery state. In power mode, both the diesel engine and electric motor will be engaged to boost acceleration and speed.
