Royal Yacht Brokers Becomes the First Brokerage Company to Embrace Fully Green and Sustainable Yachting

Royal Yacht Brokers is the first brokerage company to present eco-friendly full solar-powered luxury yachts which reduce carbon emission whilst raising the issue of damaging environmental effects on maritime transportations.

CEO Tommaso Chiabra says “for a long time we have been looking to bring a change into this industry. It is a contradiction to be sailing and seeing this beautiful natural paradise while ruining the environment at the same time.”

A deal has been reach with Australian producer Silent Yachts with productions shipyard in Italy to distribute globally the first motor yacht fully operated by solar panels at zero fuel emission delivering a true green luxury experience avoiding noises and environmental damages.

Conventional motor-yachts are powered by diesel- or gas-engines. Additionally, they have a Generator on board to supply all household appliances. Depending on the size of the yacht, two or three diesel-engines are working for propulsion and household. On sailing-yachts, depending on the operational area and the wind- and weather conditions, additionally to the sails a diesel-engine is needed for the propulsion of the boat. When anchored in a quiet bay, the noisy diesel-engine is operated to provide the energy needed on the boat.

On the other hand, A SILENT yacht can cruise up to 100 miles a day without fuel, permanently and for weeks featuring virtually unlimited range. SILENT solar power systems feed the electric propulsion of the catamarans (short term speed up to 20kn) and all household energy needs. It’s able to generate enough power through its high-efficiency solar cells to power both onboard amenities as well as propulsion.
Light-weight Lithium-Batteries provide ample energy for the propulsion as well as for all household appliances, e.g. for television, air-conditioning, ice-machine, water-maker, laptop etc.
The SILENT catamarans claim 100 percent solar power, and one of its most unique features, compared to traditional yachts, is the absence of a loud and smelly gas-powered motor.

In addition to the advantage of a silent riding experience, the boat runs emissions-free, has no heat build-up, has no marine fumes, and has significantly less maintenance than a traditional gas yacht. The solar panels come with a 25-year warranty, and the batteries come with an eight-year warranty.
