The first half of 2025 alone will witness these deliveries, highlighting the company’s success under new management. The global demand for eco-conscious yachts continues to rise, and Silent Yachts is ready to meet it head-on. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Silent Yachts Set to Make Waves in 2025 with Bold Expansions Aziza | BASCO Team Mar 31, 2025 The first half of 2025 alone will witness these deliveries, highlighting the company’s success under new management. The global demand for eco-conscious yachts continues to rise, and Silent Yachts is ready to meet it head-on. Silent Yachts is set for an extraordinary 2025, following a remarkable 2024 that saw groundbreaking advancements in solar-powered yachting. The company is ramping up production and unveiling new models, solidifying its position as a leader in sustainable luxury boating. After delivering six solar-electric 62-foot catamarans in 2024, Silent Yachts plans to increase production by 50% in 2025. The Italian shipyard in Fano is operating at full capacity, with seven yachts already in advanced fit-out stages. The first half of 2025 alone will witness these deliveries, highlighting the company’s success under new management. The global demand for eco-conscious yachts continues to rise, and Silent Yachts is ready to meet it head-on. Since March 2024, Silent Yachts has transformed its shipbuilding approach, shifting from traditional linear construction to an efficient modular system. This change allows different yacht components to be built simultaneously, enhancing both speed and quality. "We have restructured from the ground up," says CEO Fabrizio Iarrera. "With our new modular system, we now produce one yacht per month, significantly increasing efficiency." The results speak for themselves. In 2024, Silent Yachts introduced the triple-deck solar-powered SY62 catamaran, which debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival to critical acclaim. The positive response translated into strong sales, fueling further innovation for the year ahead. Beyond production, Silent Yachts has been making strategic moves to increase its global footprint. The company attended prestigious boat shows worldwide, including the Venice Boat Show, the Cannes Yachting Festival—where it won the "Most Efficient Yacht" award—and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Recognizing the growing demand in the U.S. market, Silent Yachts opened a new commercial office at Fort Lauderdale’s Safe Harbor Marine Center. This facility not only enhances sales outreach but also strengthens after-sales services, offering American customers better accessibility and support. Another major milestone of 2024 was the launch of the Silent Yachts charter network. This initiative allows customers to experience the brand’s silent, emission-free cruising firsthand. With yachts available in the Caribbean and Western Mediterranean, the charter network is expected to expand further in 2025, offering more opportunities to enjoy sustainable luxury yachting. Exciting Developments in 2025 Silent Yachts wrapped up 2024 with a 10-day sea trial program in the Bahamas, showcasing the exceptional capabilities of its fleet. Looking ahead, the company is preparing for several high-profile events and product launches in 2025: The Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 19-23) will feature the SY62 3-Deck Open. The Singapore Yachting Festival (April 10-13) will mark the debut of the SY62 3-Deck Closed, offering a fully enclosed upper deck with panoramic views. The highly anticipated SY80 flagship model is set to make its debut in the summer of 2025. A new collaboration with renowned superyacht designer Nuvolari Lenard is in the works, with a new 70-footer expected to launch in 2026. "2024 was a turning point, and 2025 is set to be even bigger," says Iarrera. "We are especially excited about the debut of the SY62 3-Deck Closed, as well as the upcoming SY80. With continued innovation and a strong global presence, we are shaping the future of sustainable yachting." With a dynamic production strategy, global expansion, and groundbreaking new models, Silent Yachts is positioned for a stellar 2025. The future of luxury yachting is silent, sustainable, and brighter than ever. Acknowledgment This article is based on news originally reported by Asia Pacific Boating .

Another BASCO Boating Myth Busted! Science Behind the Cat on Boats Myth - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza Ahmed < Back Share Take Good Care of the Ship's Cat! Aziza Ahmed Apr 22, 2022 Another BASCO Boating Myth Busted! Science Behind the Cat on Boats Myth Did you know that sailors used to keep a cat on their ships? The reason was that cats were revered as good luck charms by ancient mariners. If a cat approached a sailor, that was seen as a good omen. If the cat turned away, it was seen as a bad omen. Therefore, seafarers kept their ship’s cats well-fed and content. But the cats' presence on the ship was more than just a matter of luck. Cats on ships were used to kill rodents and keep them off the ship for many reasons, including preventing damage to the ship’s woodwork. Cats protected food stores and grains on board the ship. Rats carried the plague and other diseases that could spread easily to humans. Some mariners believed that cat tails had magical powers that could influence the weather. A cat's tail could protect a ship from a storm, but if a cat falls or is thrown overboard during a storm, the ship is cursed to sink and remain at sea for nine years. Sailors also believed a few other unusual nautical superstitions surrounding cats: A ship’s cat sneezing meant that it was going to rain. A frisky ship’s cat was an omen of a windy day. A ship’s cat that licked its fur against the grain signaled that a hailstorm was on its way. While some sailors believe that cats are bad luck, recent research suggests that there is a scientific basis for this superstition… Research has found that cats can sense changes in weather more acutely than other animals (and even humans), due to their sensitive inner ears. In fact, cats may often act restless before storms on the sea—which can explain why "cats hate water" isn't just an expression! Perhaps a cat can alert you to bad weather and keep you safer on a ship. So, will a cat really be the ideal crew? What is your opinion on this? Please let me know. It would be good to hear your thoughts. Best P.S. Might you have decided to appoint a cat on the boat, but you still haven’t chosen your dream boat because you don’t know where to start? If so, I’ve something for YOU so you can pick the boat that will transform your life overnight, in 3 days Click here and discover it Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

Let’s take a closer look at why this step is so important and what could happen if you decide to skip it. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share The Hidden Costs of Skipping a Boat Survey Aziza | BASCO Team Jan 31, 2025 Let’s take a closer look at why this step is so important and what could happen if you decide to skip it. Imagine buying a boat that seems like a dream come true, only to discover later that it has a leaky hull or a faulty engine. These issues not only drain your wallet but also leave you with downtime when you could be enjoying your boat. So, how can you avoid ending up in this kind of situation? The key, which many buyers don’t consider, is getting a professional marine survey. It might seem like an extra cost you can skip, but skipping a marine survey can lead to hidden problems and expensive repairs down the line. Let’s take a closer look at why this step is so important and what could happen if you decide to skip it. Why Is a Marine Survey Important? A marine survey is a detailed check-up for your boat. Conducted by a professional marine surveyor, it involves a thorough inspection of the boat to uncover any defects, structural issues, or mechanical problems. What Happens if You Skip the Risks of a Survey? Skipping a marine survey might seem like a way to save time or money, but it can lead to serious consequences. Boats go through a lot. Harsh weather, constant exposure to water, wear and tear, it all adds up. Even the toughest boats can develop issues over time. Without a survey, you might miss things like cracks in the hull, water damage, or weakened bulkheads. And trust me, fixing those can be both expensive to repair and potentially dangerous. Mechanical systems, including engines, electrical systems, and plumbing, can also conceal costly problems. A professional surveyor can evaluate these systems and identify hidden issues that may not be apparent during a casual inspection. And let’s talk about safety for a second. A survey isn’t just about money. It’s about making sure your boat is safe for you and anyone on board. Things like faulty bilge pumps, outdated fire extinguishers, or malfunctioning navigation systems can all be uncovered during a survey. Skipping it? That’s a risk you don’t want to take. It’s a small step that can save you from big problems down the road. Now, let’s talk about the long term financial impact it can cause; If you skip a survey, you risk buying a boat with problems that could cost thousands or even tens of thousands to fix. A small upfront investment in a survey can save you from hefty repair bills down the road. A boat with hidden problems will likely depreciate faster than one in good condition. When it’s time to sell, you might lose money due to these undisclosed issues. Many insurance companies require a marine survey before issuing a policy. Skipping the survey might result in higher premiums or even denial of coverage. How a Marine Surveyor Saves You Money A marine surveyor is like a guide who helps you make a smart decision when buying a boat. They carefully check the boat from top to bottom and give you a detailed report about its condition. This report can reveal problems you might not notice, like hidden damage, old equipment, or weak spots in the structure. With this information, you can negotiate a fair price, making sure you don’t pay more than the boat is worth. But it’s not just about saving money. A marine surveyor also makes sure the boat is safe and ready for the water. Their inspection gives you peace of mind, knowing you won’t run into expensive surprises or repairs after your purchase. Whether you’re buying your first boat or adding to your collection, a marine surveyor helps you feel confident about your choice and ensures your boat is ready for smooth sailing. Before you sign on the dotted line, consider hiring a professional marine surveyor. it’s a small price to pay for long-term peace of mind.

There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. This myth is about the drink. Over 2 billion cups of this drink are consumed every day worldwide… Can you guess what this drink is about? Here's another hint to help you out The first letter of this drink is “T”. . . . . . Tea? Well done! You got it - This superstition is all about the tea. So, let’s discover this old myth. "Never empty the teapot on a boat" In ancient times, when it came to emptying the pot, English fishermen had some very strange beliefs. They would never fully empty a pot of tea when they were out at sea because this represented them ‘pouring away’ all the fish they were hoping to catch. This meant that pouring away their tea would result in having to return home empty-handed. Also, their families back home wouldn’t empty their teapots on the day the fisherman set sail for fear of causing the boat to sink. P.S. If you don't know what's happening in the boating world, you'll be at the mercy of wheeler-dealers who want to take advantage of you. You need to understand the boat market and boat ownership like a boat boss. Understanding the boat market can help you avoid overpaying for a boat or making a purchase that doesn't meet your needs. It can also help you properly maintain and care for your boat, ensuring that it provides years of enjoyment on the water.
