MEET the world-first silent superyacht, capable of stealth missions on the sea that James Bond could only fantasise about – if it weren't for its impressive 253ft size.<\/p>\n
The Florida-based designer Kurt Strand has finally unveiled his aptly dubbed creation Silence, an electric superyacht that rivals its fuel-based counterparts in every way.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
When in electric mode it can cruise for an average of eight hours in total silence, even if you yank it up to its top speed of 26 knots.<\/p>\n
Kurt, the designer of this masterpiece of a boat, told The Sun that the boat has been designed to provide the owner with "the ultimate luxury".<\/p>\n
He explained: \u00a0"You get the same feeling in a sailing yacht but then you need the wind and sailing vessel leans over when sailing. The Silence yacht will give you the feeling of being in a floating mansion."<\/p>\n
Silence comes installed with a helipad, outdoor cinema, storage areas for six jet skis, and far more.<\/p>\n
The sun deck has been envisioned as the main entertainment area, and alongside the outdoor cinema it comes with a jacuzzi, plenty of sofa space, and a firepit.<\/p>\n While the helipad space on the foredeck has also been designed to double as a second entertainment area – offering even more space to party or catch some sun rays.<\/p>\n Yet, the aim of the boat remains centred on being as environmentally friendly and natural as possible.<\/p>\n Kurt explained that his childhood in Northern Norway, which was filled with nature, deep fjords, midnight sun in the summers and nordic light in the winters, inspired his creation.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He said: "I wanted to create a yacht where you get something of the same feeling. Of silence and relaxed living.<\/p>\n "My goal is to blend luxury and be as environment friendly as possible using as much natural materials as possible to avoid any 'plastic' feeling.<\/p>\n "It's the essence of Scandinavian lifestyle and Acoya Design House created the fantastic minimalistic interior."<\/p>\n The Kurt Strand design team collaborated with the Scandinavian interior design company Acoya Design House to bring you a boat that is wholly "anchored in nature".<\/p>\n Arcoya Design House founder, Anja Carlsson said: "Going forward we will see more of the pared-back yacht interiors to counterbalance today\u2019s busy lifestyles and cluttered environment."<\/p>\n The vessel's four floors feature Scandinavian minimalism and a subtle colour palette for a cleaner, well-polished finish.<\/p>\n It has can accommodate up to 14 people in its seven spacious cabins, plus 20 crew members.<\/p>\n The upper deck is reserved almost entirely for the owner's cabin – which comes with a private jacuzzi and sunbathing area.<\/p>\n The extraordinary vessel also offers a 14-person dining area complete with full-length panoramic windows to create "a strong connection to the environment". <\/p>\n Arcoya Design House's decor has heavily involved greenery, organic shapes and a mix of natural materials like wood.<\/p>\n All of which compliments the elegant crisp-white exterior and low profile that Kurt conceptualised.<\/p>\n Kurt explained that his new superyacht stands apart in the increasingly saturated industry of yachting through its minimalism.<\/p>\n He said: "With most new yachts I have the feeling like it's over the top and trying in every detail being spectacular.<\/p>\n "With this yacht design we focus on a relaxed lifestyle.<\/p>\n "It's not a extreme contemporary design It's a timeless design that will last for many decades."<\/p>\n This world-first will cost potential buyers $160 million, and it has several of the most famous yacht builders in Germany and Holland ready to begin production on it.<\/p>\n This American-Scandinavian breakthrough in the world of superyachts comes against the latest\u00a0gigayacht concept, created by designer Chulhun Park and sponsored by Palmer Johnson Yachts.<\/p>\n The 751ft beast is due to set back buyers by $460 million, and looks like something out of a futuristic science-fiction film.<\/p>\n Chulhun Park claims to have taken inspiration from deconstructivism, an architectural movement that favours warped shapes over what is conventional.<\/p>\n He said: "Having seen too many conventional white yachts, which were vertically stacked like wedding cakes, I was determined to design a visually unique yacht which would stand out from a fleet.<\/p>\n "I was interested in manipulating a structure\u2019s surface to create non-rectilinear shapes, which appear to distort and dislocate elements of shape."<\/p>\n<\/picture>SUPER SUB <\/span><\/p>\n
