Voyage logistics and technical profile at a glance

The Silent 62 Tri-Deck named 100% departed Gibraltar on November 14 for a roughly 3,200 nautical mile passage to Antigua, cruising at an average of about 6 knots while testing onboard energy systems across thousands of nautical miles. The route was planned to take advantage of the northern equatorial currents and trade winds, but the vessel has also experienced variable swell and high pressure systems that affected average speed and kite-assisted wind propulsion.

Crew, routine and life on board

The delivery team comprises owners Rebecca na Jay, joined by Steve Bell (Vice-Chairman of Silent Yachts) as captain, with crewmembers Will na Майк. Daily life has settled into a measured routine: daytime informal helm presence and night watches on a 2-hours-on / 8-hours-off rotation between 22:00 and 08:00. The flybridge serves as the main social and observation area, offering 360º visibility for long hours at sea.

Onboard monitoring and transparency

Silent Yachts has published real-time updates and telemetry on silentatlantic.com, including itinerary tracking, energy production (solar gain), battery usage and a Life On Board video blog. Visitors can submit questions to the crew via the Q&A page and observe technology performance data intended to demonstrate the endurance and practicality of long-range electric navigation.

Why this voyage matters: technological and testing objectives

The crossing functions as a live field test for the latest iterations in solar-electric yachting: improvements in electric drives, battery chemistry and solar array efficiency since earlier transatlantic attempts. The trip gauges real-world efficiency under varying ocean conditions — measuring how solar gain offsets propulsion demands, how battery reserves are managed and how auxiliary systems perform on extended passages.

Operational challenges encountered

  • Variable swell causing speed fluctuations between ~4 and ~8 knots.
  • Wind direction issues that limited use of the fully automatic towing kite to augment propulsion without shading panels.
  • Routing trade-offs between fastest routing and optimal solar exposure.

Practical implications for travellers and coastal tourism

While this is primarily a technical delivery, the voyage has direct relevance to coastal tourism: increased reliability of electric propulsion opens options for silent, low-emission yacht charters, eco-conscious marina operations, and new categories of experiential cruising (day trips, island-hopping, yacht parties and exclusive charters) that appeal to travellers seeking quieter, cleaner sea experiences.

How to follow and what to watch

Track position and performance on silentatlantic.com to monitor solar gain, battery trends and crew updates. Watch the video blogs for practical impressions of life at sea and inspect the technology pages for logged metrics. For travellers seeking to experience similar voyages or related coastal tours, these transparency efforts provide useful benchmarks for what to expect from solar-electric charter options.

Key takeaways and planning tips

At a glance: the SY62 blends luxury comfort with demonstrable renewable energy systems; performance varies with sea state and wind; long-range electric passages are now operationally viable for delivery and leisure use. Prospective charterers should have a mind to compare solar gain figures and range estimates when booking eco-focused yacht experiences.
