Silent Yachts, the catamaran builder specializing in solar-electric yachts, is anticipating an exceptionally busy 2025, building on the successes of the previous year.
After delivering six solar-powered 62-foot yachts in 2024, the company plans to increase output by 50% in 2025 and deliver its new flagship, the SY80. The shipyard in Fano, Italy, is working at full capacity to meet this ambitious target.
Seven new yachts are currently in advanced stages of fit-out and are scheduled for delivery within the first six months of the year. This rapid progress reflects the success of the company’s reorganization under new management, highlighting its global appeal in an era of increasing eco-consciousness.

“With so much activity at the shipyard this year, it is quite easy to overlook the fact that we have completely reorganized the business from the ground up,” said Silent Yachts CEO Fabrizio Iarrera. “Under new management since March 2024, our Fano shipyard has transitioned from traditional linear boat construction to a modular system. It means that yacht modules are built simultaneously and assembled during the final phase, significantly speeding up the production process and improving product quality. This has led us to achieve a production rate of one yacht per month.”
The modular construction approach proved its worth in 2024 with the successful delivery of the first triple-deck solar-powered SY62 catamaran, which debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival. “We are so proud of the overwhelmingly positive response to the yacht, which has translated into more solid orders for an exceptional product,” Iarrera added.
