Tyde is an unconventional new boat brand. Founded in 2021, it manufactures emission-free electric motorboats that use hydrofoiling technology developed by America’s Cup sailing boats to maximise efficiency (and cut energy usage by 80 per cent). “Everyone in the boating industry knew they need to change, to get away from…
“In addition to motoryachts and sailing yachts, I believe that submersible superyachts will be an additional and appealing third category of private vessels,” reveals Christian Gumpold, the CEO of Migaloo PSY (Private Submersible Yachts), the Austrian design company behind this 166-metre, 2 billion USD submarine named M5. Suitable of cruising…
With superyachts getting bigger – just think of the 180-metre Azzam or 162-metre Eclipse as perfect reminders – and cruise ships getting smaller (so as to cater to a growing demand for longer, more immersive journeys alongside fewer passengers, and with a lighter carbon footprint), it seems logical then that…
Wally launched the WallyWHY series in the summer of 2022 with the debut of the 200. The name was formed with the ‘W’ standing for Wally, the ‘H’ for hybrid and the ‘Y’ for yacht, and the 200 ushered in a bold new chapter in wide-bodied yachts for the Ferretti…
The old team was brought back together (the Italian studio of Nuvolari Lenard; German shipbuilders, Lürssen; Moran Yachting project managers) from the owner’s previous – and first – superyacht, the 86-metre Quattroelle (which he sold to the Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, in 2014).

What’s more, it houses a sculptural yacht interior that is an ode to simplicity and future-proofing foresight. “She is the owner’s first…
While hotels, airports and everyday normality shut down in 2020, explorer yachts came into their own. Built for autonomous world-cruising in the deepest of remote corners, they epitomise what we’re all craving these days – a private, personalised sanctuary away from civilisation where we can explore and isolate in equal…
Some yachts are bought to look pretty on the Med. Others are born to sail the Caribbean trade winds. And then there’s Ragnar; half yacht, half commercial vessel. A beautiful mongrel designed for exploration and built to last. In her former life, she was a 68-metre icebreaking support vessel named…
The future of yachting is electric. Not hybrid propulsion or batteries that support yacht households, but all-singing, all-dancing, fully electric. You didn’t hear it from us though. This is the opinion of Jochen Rudat, former director of Tesla Central Europe and newest member of Silent Yachts’ advisory board. He spent…
Why pay to spend your holiday trapped on an overcrowded floating mall when there’s a way to have an affordable superyacht experience. Three years ago, the Ritz Carlton announced it had begun building a fleet of ships that would bridge the gap between 20-guest-superyachts and 650-person-cruiseliners. Not only would these…
