About the 62 3-Deck

The Silent 62 3-Deck extends the builder's 60-foot platform with a full upper level rather than a conventional flybridge. Owners can specify an open 50 m² sky lounge, an enclosed 18 m² panoramic saloon with a 32 m² aft terrace, or an upper owner's suite with the same terrace. Below, the standard brochure arrangement provides four en-suite guest cabins, including a full-width master, plus a forward cockpit and hydraulic stern platform. Propulsion is entirely electric, supported by roof-mounted solar generation and a diesel range extender for prolonged poor weather or higher energy use. The third deck increases usable living area and windage, so buyers should assess docking, bridge clearance and crew needs alongside interior appeal. Like every solar yacht, autonomy depends on the balance between sunlight, propulsion speed and hotel loads rather than an unconditional promise of endless travel.

Best For

Liveaboard owners wanting exceptional upper-deck living space
Ocean cruisers seeking quiet electric operation with backup generation
Buyers who want a configurable sky lounge or private upper suite

Performance in Context

Silent's current company FAQ describes typical cruising at 6-8 knots and maximum speed around 12 knots for its yacht range. The 62's operating envelope depends on motor and battery selection, displacement and sea state. Its 2023 brochure's twin 50 kW standard motors represent an earlier configuration and should not be assumed for every new build.

Battery and Charging

The platform uses a 16 kWp solar-electric system that Silent estimates can produce roughly 100 kWh per favourable day. An earlier standard brochure lists 143 kWh of lithium storage and a 100 kW diesel generator; current builds may differ. Shore charging, solar yield and the range extender should be assessed together in a passage energy plan.

Availability and Pricing

Silent continues to present the 60/62 family as a current production range, but pricing is by quotation. The old €2.8 million figure is not retained as a current base price. Deck version, propulsion, battery, generator, cabins, finish and delivery location materially affect the contract value.
