SDA93 VANISH in the Bahamas, Silent 60 Solar Superyacht Tour

When you see this distinctive yacht cruise through the harbour it catches your eye. It's sleek and beautiful, even without a mast. We definitely want a closer look, and we are thrilled that the owners said 'YES'. We had no idea we'd become fast friends
Melissa and Pete were amazing hosts, making us feel at home on their beautiful yacht

Dude I want one so bad!

[@SailingDarkAngel]

No kidding. It’s a beautiful yacht!

[@savagecub]

All I need is a winning lottery ticket and I’m putting in my order !

[@SailingDarkAngel]

That’s a long shot, but we’re pulling for you. Order us one too! 😎

[@crowdfundcrew]

I hope to see more of vanish. I’d love to see a years worth of cost comparisons and usage - solar v. generator use. Donate for a Dream

[@brandond2868]

Fun to see an actual owner's boat.

[@SailingDarkAngel]

owned by really awesome people

[@FloridaYachtInsuranceGuy]

wow!!

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Agreed

[@jimmieweigel1271]

I'm with you my boat needs to upgrade and did you see how sexy that solar panels were woohoo

[@threnody019]

I love yall's enthusiasm 💛

[@SailingDarkAngel]

thank you :)

[@user-nk7mi5xk5i]

So great

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Thank you! Vanish is a great yacht owned by great people

[@Hkgamestech]

Amazing

[@bobuncle8704]

Thanks for this. I’ve been following the silent brand for close to two years now. Quite the amazing boats. These are my dream boats. I believe their first(Silent55) was the first all electric production cat to cross the Atlantic. I’ve not seen an owner boat in the wild. This is so interesting to me. It would be something if they’ed give you a more in depth tour. I could probably give you 20 questions to ask😂 On another note, I’m really looking forward to seeing the build of the guy who says he can do it for $600k. That would be entertainment at its finest. 17 Kw of solar, 5 controllers, 4 large inverters, and 49 batteries. Considering wiring and incidentals and all the other technical equipment, there’s probably close to 40% of his budget or more.

[@SailingDarkAngel]

We’ve been following Silent Yachts from the beginning as well. The first solar yacht we saw from them was a 44’ conversion. They’ve come a long way. Kinda bummed that they keep going bigger instead of ‘cruiser’ sized. Love to see that $600K build as well. I’m sure it’ll be awesome 🤓

[@SailingDarkAngel]

We absolutely want to do another tour of Vanish. We were so excited to be there and hit it off so well with the owners that we really didn’t do the tour and interview justice. By all means send us your questions!

[@davidconnolly1007]

I’ve been in the solar business and there are Sunpower panels that are the strongest in the industry and look like glass - way sexier

[@Sailing.Artemis]

i like my sails

[@SailingDarkAngel]

sails are fun! but so Much POWER! ⚡️💥

[@wiezyczkowata]

if only I could win lotto I would buy ne and live on it

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Long odds, but a worthy dream

[@simonpickering2665]

How do you access the generator and technical rooms when the vessel is stopped while at sea ?

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Through the sugar scoop access. This is a common access point for many cats.

[@tomadams5235]

Would love to know what their monthly costs are for that yacht since it is solar and all electric.

[@SailingDarkAngel]

We’re hoping they’re up for a more in-depth interview when we see them again

[@JohnAdams-mu7xd]

I wonder what the overall electromagnetic radiation on this yacht is.

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Shouldn’t be too difficult to calculate

[@ashleykerlin]

Really interested in a no-marketing view of one of these boats. But your camera work… Getting seasick just trying to watch. You are panning too fast, not pausing any time on key aspects. And no discussion with the owners about what it's like to live on, run, and more. Some discussion you did have was inaudible. I really got very little insight into the boat from this, sorry.

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Absolutely agree. We rushed through it way too fast. We’re looking forward to doing it better in the future

[@simonarr6584]

Hasn't burned yet? 😂

[@kiloromeo4725]

LFP batteries. Nuf said smart guy.

[@TChalla007]

@@kiloromeo4725 🎯

[@simonarr6584]

Only other 2 burned. And you haven't seen the video of it smoking like a Sunday BBQ obviously 😂😂😂😂

[@jhchooo]

These go for $2-3 Million. It feels like they got a $500K boat, put $100K worth of solar, battery, motor and marking it up $2 million. Just build your own.

[@SailingDarkAngel]

Not sure where you’ll find a new 60’ power cat for $500K 🤣🤣🤣

[@jhchooo]

ok, $1M boat with $100K worth of solar.

[@gazjaz2010]

cool bro, then lets see the vid of you and your build

[@uputku]

not wrong. i tought of the same thing.

[@ladykay8]

the solar may only be 100K, but the batteries and control systems are really where much of the money is. They did a lot of work with these boats to optimize volume vs. power. I'd love to have one, but they are well out of my budget.
