Silent 80 Through The Lens

Redefining Yachting Innovation

Space to Make Your Own

Encased by large windows, the open-plan living area connects guests to their surroundings and further enhances the feeling of space on board. Customise interiors, from soft furnishings to design choices, creating your home away from home on the water.

Deck Spaces

Thanks to her impressive space, the yacht offers a wide choice of exterior areas in which to relax, socialise or entertain. Spend lazy days on the main deck aft, with its ample seating and large dining space, soak up the sun on her foredeck, or head to the flybridge for awe-inspiring views.

Accommodation

Total Serenity

Cabin Arrangement

The tranquility of Silent 80’s cruising is matched only by the calming ambiance of her four spacious cabins. The generously sized principal cabin has a walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite bathroom while the remaining guest cabins also feel spacious and inviting.

Performance

Elegance Meets Innovation

Solar Powered Cruising

Silent 80 is a full solar electric catamaran, with the ability to cruise and power hotel load using the power of the sun. Back-up generators are available to boost the battery bank when needed, ensuring smooth sailing with uninterrupted journeys.

Redefining Tranquility at Sea

Stay at one with nature, enjoying whisper-quiet, vibration-free operation and spacious, open plan living spaces that accommodate up to 8 guests to cruise in absolute comfort and tranquility.

Adventure Unleashed

Silent 80’s dual hull design makes her stable, agile and manoeuvrable, due to her engines being wider apart than a traditional monohull. Add this to her shallow draft, which allows her to cruise in the shallowest, most secluded bays and anchorages, and her capacity for adventure becomes unstoppable.

Efficiency Redefined

Silent 80’s two slim hulls are optimised for speed and efficiency, requiring less propulsion than a traditional monohull which, along with her solar-powered cruising ability, means minimal fuel costs. The yacht requires just two crew members, making her a smart purchase opportunity for anyone considering yacht ownership for the first time.

Speak To A Silent Yachts Sales Professional

Silent Yachts offer an environmentally conscious choice when it comes to owning a yacht. Silent Yachts currently offers three solar-powered power catamaran models including the Silent 55, Silent 64, and Silent 80. United Yacht Sales is proud to be the U.S. distributor for Silent Yachts and can assist you in your search for the world's first solar-powered yacht. For more information, please contact United Yacht broker Darren Sell at (561) 351-7333 or by email at [email protected] . 

Where are Silent Yachts built?

Silent Yachts are built through two different shipyards depending on the model. The Silent 55 is built at the world-class shipyard of Mazarin German Yachts which also has a production site located in China. For over 70 years, Mazarin has been a leader in quality yacht construction with over 400 yachts delivered. Mazarin are experts in innovative construction processes that are able to produce light weight yachts.

The Silent 64 and Silent 80 are produced at the Italian-based shipyard Consorzio Navale which is a prestigous consoritum of builders and sub-contractors in the industry. The group has serviced many of the major Italian yacht brands such as Ferretti Yachts and Riva Yachts . Additionally, the Silent Yachts 80 features styling and design by Marco Casali and naval architecture by Insenaval.

Are Silent Yachts really completely solar-powered?

The short answer is yes. Owners can choose to go 100% solar-powered or install diesel engines should higher speeds want to be achieved over longer distances. Silent Yachts can cruise up to 100 miles per day by power acquired through its solar panels. Every day the solar panels are able to generate more power than the total consumption needed for propulsion at cruising speeds plus powering all of the appliances on board. 

How does the solar power work? 

The Silent Yachts power system feeds the electric propulsion of the power cat and all of the energy it needs to run the A/C, refrigerators, and other household appliances. Light-weight lithium batteries provide an ample amount of energy for everything on board. The lithium batteries used in Silent Yachts are the most expensive ones on the market, but also the most reliable, safe, and have the longest life span.

Solar panels are integrated to the roof of the flybridge hardtop sections instead of just being bolted on top, resulting in no wind load or resistance againest them. Below is a video explaining how the system functions and operates back when Silent Yachts were originally called "Solar Wave":

Who is the team behind Silent Yachts?

Heike and Michael Kohler have sent almost their entire lives on a boat. After more than two decades of using various boats, cruisers, and sailboats on multiple oceans, they became dedicated to finding a better energy source for the propulsion of yachts. Between the years of 2005 and 2009, Heike and Michael tested a number of a multitude of various alternative energy sources. In 2009, SolarWave 46 was launched as a proof of concept for their design. While there are many boats and yachts built that use solar power in some fashion, the Solarwave 46 was the first ocean-going yacht to use solar energy to power everything on board from engines to appliances.

What else is different about how Silent Yachts are built?

Certainly the solar-powered engines and generators are the distinguishing characteristic, but there are a lot of other features that make each Silent Yacht unique. For example, the molds were created using a CNC-milling machine that is able to contruct particular shapes for an optimized design. The materials used in the hull include a carbon compositie that is then resin-infused for a light-weight, but very strong platform. Every hull is fully insulated and the long-term durability is exceptional thanks to the high-quality resin used in the infusion process.

What propulsion systems are recommended by Silent Yachts?

Silent Yachts recommends the 2 x 135 engines as the best solution. If the owner is making frequest trips from Point A to B (Say Miami to the Bahamas for example) the faster hybrid is recommended. The main differentiator here is cruising speed. If the owner is living on the yacht for an extended period of time, rarely pushes the engines to top speeds, and stays below 12 knots, then the E-Power is recommended.

When the generator is running, does the 100Kw go to charging the batteries (which run the 250 Kw e-Motors) or directly to the e-Motors?

All of the enery consumers and producers are connected to the bus bar. If there happens to be more power produced than consumed, the excess power goes to re-charge the batteries. If for some reason more power is required than what is produced, the needed power comes from the lithium batteries.

What is the sustained speed if both 100 Kw generators are running?

This answer really depends upon sea condition and the weight of the boat (for example components, additional equipment, water toys, etc.). The sustained speed on average though is between 12 and 14 knots, 10 knots with one generator running. It is possible to cruise at 10 knots without a generator running when using the Solar E-Power.

SILENT 80 3-Deck: On board SILENT-YACHTS’ most spacious catamaran to date

The future of yachting is here, and it's silent, spacious and energy-saving. SILENT-YACHTS, leader in luxury solar-powered vessels, is set to launch its revolutionary solar-electric flagship – the SILENT 80 3-Deck. With an LOA of 24.3-meters, and the yard’s most voluminous catamaran to date, this cutting-edge yacht is slated to make its debut this year, bringing a new era of responsible yachting to the world's waters.

“What sets the 80 Series apart is that it combines incredibly high levels of luxury and sustainability like no yacht ever before,” says Michael Kohler, founder and CEO of SILENT-YACHTS. “With bespoke design by Marco Casali and 26 kWp produced by the state-of-the-art solar array, there is ample energy to enjoy all the luxurious amenities on board with zero emission.”

Open or closed: Taking customisation to the next level

With the SILENT 80 3-Deck, prospective owners can choose between the 80+-square-metre open or closed fly deck versions. Described as “the defining feature of the yacht” by Kohler, this allows the owner to tailor their onboard experience to their personal preferences.

The open version offers a sprawling 84-square-metre ocean sky lounge on the fly deck, for those who prefer being outdoors with a closer connection to the sea. For those who value privacy and panoramic views, the closed version provides two options. The first option boasts an owner's suite with a staggering 360-degree view and an expansive 41-square-metre private terrace aft. On the other hand, the lounge version is ideal for those who cherish shared experiences on board. It replaces the owner's suite with a generous 39-square-metre dining area, complete with a bar and galley, while maintaining the same aft terrace.

Maximised onboard space

When compared to other catamarans in this size bracket, the SILENT 80 3-Deck has a strategic approach to maximise onboard space without compromising comfort or aesthetics. The boat offers ample storage for water toys beneath the cockpit, enhancing the overall functionality and recreational opportunities of the vessel and making it a dream for watersports enthusiasts.

“In the aft portside hull, the staircase can be raised to reveal a fully enclosed tender garage with a lift and launching system,” Kohler adds. “It fits tenders with a maximum length of 5.2 metres and has a direct charging point to recharge electric SILENT tenders.”

Strategic design: Beauty meets efficiency

The SILENT 80 3-Deck's design is a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality. The signature window strip running across each hull adds a touch of streamlined elegance to the yacht, a departure from the traditional bulky appearance of many catamarans. Esteemed interior and exterior designer Marco Casali deserves praise for his exceptional work in maximising solar panel coverage while maintaining an elegant and captivating shape. The result is a yacht that not only turns heads but also harnesses the power of the sun to propel you through the water with ease.

“The biggest challenge was to create a design that is visually appealing but also captures as much solar energy as possible,” Kohler explains. “As the solar array of course needs space, it still needs to integrate into the overall visual design language of a yacht in a beautiful manner.”

A solar-powered era of yachting

SILENT-YACHTS is at the forefront of ecological yachting, and the SILENT 80 3-Deck is a testament to its commitment to more sustainable solutions. With cruising speeds of 6-8 knots, the yacht's solar-powered energy system harnesses the sun's rays to generate silent, emission-free propulsion, offering unparalleled efficiency and a virtually maintenance-free experience.

Kohler highlights the importance of producing a yacht that is not only a pleasure to look at, but also very efficient. “All our yachts are required to be highly efficient in order to consume as little energy as possible while providing all the luxuries on board,” he says. “In order to achieve this favourable energy surplus, all onboard appliances need to be highly efficient, and the overall weight of the yacht must remain as low as possible to minimise the energy required for propulsion.”

The 25-year warranty on the solar panels underlines the shipyard's confidence in its green innovation and guarantees uninterrupted, eco-conscious cruising for years to come.

The SILENT 80 luxury catamaran is a solar-powered model constructed by Austrian shipyard Silent-Yachts offering an LOA of 24m/79ft. The naval architecture is the work of Enrique Castilla from Insenaval while Marco Casali from Too Design created the interior and exterior styling. The flexible accommodation layout can provide for 8-12 guests over 4-6 cabins respectively, with a crew of four to provide stellar service throughout the cruise. The yacht's launch date is in 2020.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF SILENT 80: ~Solar-powered vessel ~Flybridge Jacuzzi ~Abundance of outdoor living space ~Large and airy cabins ~Excellent stability ~Shallow draft for close beach access ~Air conditioning ~Wi-Fi

Each hull has a swim platform leading from the water to the main deck aft, and a hydraulic swim platform allows for the easy launch and retrieval of tenders.

The main deck aft cockpit is shaded by the flybridge overhang and contains a stern sofa and elevated dining table along with a port side wet bar and a starboard alfresco dining table and sunbed/sofa. Walkways to each side lead to the foredeck, and a sofa placed amidships allows guests to take in the views in privacy. The foredeck has a C-shaped sofa wrapping around two drinks tables where guests can take in uninterrupted forward views. A sunpad is placed either side of the seating, and the spacious bow can be furnished with sun loungers or left clear for a social event.

The flybridge is accessed via a port stairway and there is a C-shaped alfresco dining area to starboard and a helm station and sofa placed centre. A Jacuzzi is placed aft and centre, with the area directly behind left clear for sunbathing.

The hardtop is covered in solar panels and when the flybridge is not in use, it can be moved down to lie flush with the rest of the solar panels to avoid casting shadows.

The hulls host the guest and crew accommodation, leaving the central section for a shared social space.

The salon is comprised of an aft lounge, a formal dining area and a galley, with a wet bar nearby for drinks to suit the occasion. Full-height glazing tapers into smaller windows farther forward, creating naturally illuminated environments for any social occasion.

As a solar-powered vessel, there is no need for an engine room and the space is instead used to store tenders and water toys.

SILENT 80 Specifications

The SILENT 80 motor yacht comes in a standard 50kW cruiser version and a more powerful 250kW E-power version, the latter option capable of a top speed of 20 knots and silent cruising at 7-8 knots with a range of around 100 nautical miles per day.

Yacht Accommodation

The SILENT 80 luxury catamaran model offers a flexible accommodation layout and is able to sleep between 8 guests across 4 cabins or 12 guests over 6 cabins. The Master suite has a private office and in all arrangements, there is at least one VIP stateroom. The crew of four will ensure that every guest is well taken care of throughout the cruise.

Silent Yachts – Noiseless Limitless Cruising Catamarans

Solar power catamarans...ingenious and real.

Imagine leaving no footprint except those in the sand on faraway beaches as you silently cruise. With these solar catamarans, it’s possible! We covered these amazing solar-electric yachts back when they were mere concepts.

The Austrian-based solar catamaran producer drew stronger interest after the Silent 55 earned the Best of Boats Awards 2019 in “Boat for Travel” being “suitable for long distance travels with all amendments to live on board permanently, adapted for both inland waters and the tough conditions at sea.” Amazing results for where electric-solar catamarans were only a year or so before.

Silent Yachts began delivery of the Silent 55 in 2019 and in 2020, during a global pandemic, sold six Silent 80 catamarans (starting from $4.6 million). Construction in Ancona, Italy, was slightly delayed due to COVID19 closure of 2 of the 4 factories, but the shipbuilder continues with delivery of these amazing catamarans as well as their evolution. At the end of 2020, Silent Yachts had a dozen luxury electric catamarans in production from 55′ to 80′ at a starting price of $1.8 million.

After these successes, designer Marco Casali of Too-Design continued innovating crafting a Loft version of the Silent 80 to excite solar catamaran enthusiasts.

Founder and CEO, Michael Köhler, birthed the concept. Interior and exterior designs are by Marco Casali of Too-Design with Amedeo Migali of MICAD in charge of naval architecture.

The Silent 80 with its silent electric propulsion, has unlimited range; no noise or fumes. Seventy solar panels, electric motors, and lithium batteries (used by Tesla) have been incorporated into the design to make it most efficient while maintaining the overall balance in shape. If you want to know more in depth on this efficiency, read this excellent article on Silent Yachts’ engine, battery configuration, and power management .

All components are virtually free of maintenance which makes the running-costs much lower than that of a comparable conventionally powered catamaran. The Silent Yacht is powered by electric motors and has a cruising-speed of 6-8 knots, and maximum speed is 10 knots. Without an engine room, the Silent 80 has enough space for a 4.5 meter tender, and gyrocopter!

Success has not stopped this solar catamaran designer from striving for bigger and better ideas. Recently Silent Yachts Silent announced its plan to build catamarans in collaboration with Volkswagen, powered by VW electric drive matrix (MEB). The catamaran ranges will be designed by VW subsidiary, SEAT’s Cupra brand. Auto and marine manufacturers joining forces have shown success before when BMW teamed up with Torqeedo for outboard engines, so it will be interesting to watch.

High Cost of Solar Catamarans Debunked

As with any new paradigm, the skeptics have loud voices during early introduction of new concepts. And solar-electric catamarans are no different. As excited as we are about this, we must confess our healthy skepticism is still alive. But we recently read an interesting article that compares the Silent 80 to the Lagoon Seventy8 . It points out that because operation and maintenance costs are so low that only a few years of ownership negate the higher purchase price of the Silent 80.

It’s actually quite a tempting proposition to enjoy all the comforts and necessities that requires lots of power aboard without the smell, roar, and Earth-damaging emissions of diesel generators. And eliminating the dangers and inconvenient refills of the propane cooker in the galley is another reason to give a second and a third look at these new solar catamarans.

Read on for pictures and more details of these solar-powered cats with lots of options including hybrid diesel operations and and a true “sail” option.

Silent Yachts

Creators of the world’s first series produced, solar-powered electric yachts.

Unlimited Range

Noiseless cruising, zero emission, minimal maintenance, pioneering solar powered yachting since 2009.

The Original Solar Yacht

As the original inventors of series produced solar-electric yachts, we pioneered this innovative approach. Our first model, the Silent 64, was launched to the market in 2016, several years before any other shipyard considered the possibility of going electric.

Leading Technology

Our founders began to research alternative energy sources to power yachts during the mid 1990s. Today, the technology of our in-house developed solar-electric drivetrain has been perfected and is multiple generations ahead in terms of reliability, performance and efficiency.

Historical Track-Record

In 2009, the Solarwave 46 was launched as our first prototype of a fully solar-electric, self-sufficient ocean-going catamaran. Since then, our electric yachts have cruised many 10.000s of nautical miles, performing flawlessly during a variety of weather conditions.

Enabling Self-Sufficiency

What differentiates a Silent is the unprecedented level of autonomy provided by our yachts. Being able to produce your own energy enables a fully self-sufficient lifestyle on board. Travel the oceans sustainably while making them your infinite playground.

The award-winning entry to solar-electric yachts.

Timeless design meets state-of-the-art technology.

120 Explorer

The boldest expression of solar powered yachting yet.

What Makes Us Unique

The tranquility on board of our yachts is unique. A lack of noise, fumes and vibrations create a deep connection with the sea. Luxury and sustainability finally merged into a holistic experience, working hand in hand with nature by minimizing the impact on the marine environment without compromising comfort.

For optimal performance and efficiency, our solar-electric drivetrain integrates seamlessly with all onboard systems. Compared to fossil fuelled powertrains of motoryachts, electric powertrains have very few moving parts, resulting in minimal maintenance, maximum reliability and significantly lower running costs.

The ability to recharge your own batteries with the sun marks a new era of freedom. Depending on cruising speeds and weather conditions, a Silent has virtually unlimited range, enabling you to live a fully self-sufficient lifestyle on board. Unbound by the limitations of fossil fuels, you are free to explore the horizons.

The technology powering our yachts today has been pioneered by our founders almost three decades ago. Continuous upgrading and steady optimization of the entire system are some of the key reasons our in-house developed solar-electric drivetrain offers a comprehensive portfolio of assurances and warranties.

Why Silent Yachts

A sensible approach to yachting which works in self-sufficient harmony with nature and creates a completely new experience on board.

Silent Yachts is quietly establishing itself as a major player in the marine game. The Austrian-based builder, whose solar-powered fleet continues to grow apace, has just sold the first three Silent 80 Tri-Deck catamarans for roughly $6.7 million apiece.

As its moniker implies, this particular model is a triple-deck take on the yard’s flagship Silent 80 and is billed as Silent’s most spacious solar-electric cat to date. Designed and engineered by Marco Casali and MICAD, the multihull sports clean, straight lines, expansive windows and a distinctive flybridge that’s fitted with horizontal air grills inspired by supercars. Silent says this adds sportiness to the overall look.

The 80-footer is also equipped with an additional 970-square-foot deck that sets it apart from its predecessor. This space can be set up as an open-air sky lounge (open version) or enclosed and used as an owner’s suite, lounge or studio (closed version). Among the three sold, there are both open and closed versions and the latter will have a master cabin in the top deck.

Elsewhere onboard, the main deck offers a generous main saloon that spans more than 640 square feet, along with a galley, lounge and dining area. The lower deck, meanwhile, can accommodate four to six guest cabins and one to two crew cabins depending on the owner’s preferences.

Outside, the aft and forward decks feature sofas and sun pads for al fresco relaxation. Since there’s no big engine room hogging space, Silent claims the cat is fitted with the largest garage in its class. The vessel can hold a 17-foot tender, along with an integrated lift and launching system. The hydraulic swim platform could also potentially store a gyrocopter on floats.

One of the vessel’s biggest drawcards is its eco-friendly edge. It’s predominantly decorated with recyclable materials that are stylish yet sustainable. It’s also equipped with 70 solar panels on the roof of the flybridge that generate 26kWp of power. The green energy is then stored in lithium batteries to power the onboard amenities and enable the vessel to cruise at night.

Speaking of cruising, the catamaran is fitted with a pair of powerful electric engines that offer up to 340 kW each in the most advanced version and give the vessel a max speed of 20 knots and a range of up to 100 miles per day. That means you can sail silently sans emissions to pretty much anywhere you please without consuming fuel. (The vessel also comes with a generator if you’re in a pinch.)

“We are happy that the interest in fully sustainable yachting keeps growing,” Michael Köhler, founder and CEO of Silent Yachts, said in a statement. “Our latest orders are another confirmation of this trend for a much greener future.”

Indeed, the shipyard is currently developing an even bigger model and will release more information this year. It’s also partnered with Volkswagen to install the same electric powertrains currently used in VW’s ID.3 and ID.4 in an array of ocean-going multihulls. Like we said, major player.

Silent Yachts presents the first and only ocean going production yachts in the world that are fully sustainable and powered by solar energy. Pure solar-powered luxury.

Silent Yachts was founded on the dream of eliminating the industries effects on the environment without sacrificing the slightest bit of luxury. The future of luxury yachting is individualistic, noiseless, self-sufficient and honoring nature and the environment.

Imagine starting every morning with an awe inspiring sunrise and ending the day with a breathtaking sunset! Watch, smell, feel nature and be aware that you take responsibility for the environment.

It is both our philosophy and our commitment to offer the best available solar-powered yachts, uniquely designed and constructed, offering unlimited worldwide range and electric motors capable of achieving speeds of up to 20 knots

Many years of research and proven use have demonstrated that a Silent yacht can cruise exclusively on solar power for up to 100 miles per day, run all household appliances including air conditioning, permanently.

Range is unlimited with solar powered electric propulsion, therefore more than Transocean-range.

While combustion engines have an energy efficiency of around 30%, electric motors feature an energy efficiency rate of more than 98%. This saves a lot of power and emits significantly less heat.

High levels of luxury require permanently available energy. On a Silent yacht, you can watch TV, enjoy a cold beer, have the air conditioning running and produce up to 2000 liters of drinking water per day without starting the generator.

High-efficiency solar cells and light-weight Lithium-Batteries provide ample energy and charging for the propulsion as well as for all household appliances, e.g. for television, air-conditioning, ice-machine, water-maker, laptop etc.

Silent Yachts has established a partnership with MG Energy Systems to provide energy systems for all models. There are numerous types of lithium batteries on the market. The brand we are using is universally regarded as industry leader with regards safety, performance, weight and life-span.

A diesel generator (range extender) is fitted as a safety back up. If necessary, due to longer periods of bad weather or where extended durations of higher speed is required, will automatically start when the batteries register below 30%, and seamlessly integrates into the charging system.

Due to the lack of “moving Parts” associated with this technology, our yachts are considerably more reliable, and much less expensive to operate and maintain.

• Solar panels fitted to Silent Yachts are zero maintenance and guaranteed for 25 years.
• Lithium batteries are zero maintenance and guaranteed for 8 years.
• The electric motors have a 12 month warranty, and are virtually zero maintenance, with only a set of inexpensive bearings needing to be changed every 50,000 hours of use. When you consider the average yearly usage is 400 – 600 hours, don’t forget to schedule that service call every 80 years.
• Depending on the optional usage of the range extender generator, standard maintenance is required, often on a 100hr basis. One owner recently reported only running their generator for 6 hours, during their transatlantic crossing.
• Electric Motor……...Lifetime
• Solar Panels……….25 years
• Batteries……………10 years
• Hull/GRP parts….…5 years
• General Fit/Finish…2 years

All the electrical components are of high industrial quality and are being engineered / built in Europe and the USA.

Motors, inverters and their cables are IP69 certified. This means that they’re rated to work when permanently submerged in highly pressurized water. In comparison to a conventional diesel powered propulsion system an electric motor is far more reliable as the only moving parts are the rotor and its two bearings.

All wiring is tin-coated and all plugs feature a custom design which prevents humidity and water from entering. Additionally, all parts exposed to the marine environment are made of corrosion resistant materials.

All vital components are redundant to ensure double safety. The configuration of all components makes sure an overload is impossible, deeming the solar-electric drivetrain far safer than conventional propulsion systems. We are also proud to say that our catamarans were the first to be certified according to DIN EN ISO 16315 for the marine operations of electrically powered yachts.

Underwater lines are optimized by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and towing-tank tests. The lightweight construction is a result of bionic design, the use of carbon fibers and high-quality resins.

Interior furniture is made of stiff and lightweight composite plates with real wood-veneer. This reduces the weight significantly to about half the weight of a conventionally constructed and powered yacht.

Each kg/Lb saved is equivalent to less wave drag and friction and therefore less energy required to move the vessel through the water. Overall, this leads to high levels of efficiency enabling fast and self-sustaining propulsion.

Salon and cabins are wrapped in thermal insulation. Furthermore, all windows are shaded by either the roof and/or the hull, thus lowering the energy consumption needed to keep the interior at comfortable temperature levels.

The photovoltaic modules recharge the batteries with a maximum output of 26kWp, and are the main power source of our yachts. We use the most efficient, most advanced and highest quality modules currently available. Their arrangement, the positioning and the regulation of charge are some of the main secrets and reasons why our yachts are able to harvest that much energy from the sun - sufficient to power all household appliances, all devices that you need for your comfort and even the propulsion system.

A new class of yachting is on the rise. Freedom from the need to return to the shore ensures a refreshingly autonomous experience onboard the Silent 80. With solar power and a wide range of options to make untethered cruising a joy, the only reason to enter a marina is to explore exciting new places or pick up local delicacies.

Under way all that can be heard is the gentle swish of water around the hull and the soothing sounds of the natural environment.
