Sialia 57: A fast, high-end hybrid electric boat

At the Palma Boat Show 2023, Spanish shipyard Sialia presented its first model, the Sialiia 57, a top-of-the-range vessel equipped with its proprietary AMPROS hybrid electric drive system. A top-of-the-range unit with high autonomy.

1st unit of Sialia Yachts

The Sialia Yachts brand was created to combine luxury and electric motors. To prove its concept, it presented its first boat, the Sialia 57, at the Palma Boat Show 2023. Christened Deep Silence, this 17.6-meter carbon unit, designed with the renowned naval architecture firm Vripack in association with Denis Popov design, is the image of a new era in yachting, with hybrid electric drive and modern design.

A strong electric motor

The Sialia 57 boasts a twin electric motor with a total output of 800 kW, for a top speed of over 25 knots, thanks to a carbon hull that is lighter than conventional construction. Cruising speed is 18 knots.

The Sialia 59, which has already been announced as the serial production version of the 57, is expected to reach 30 knots. Battery options ranging from 350 kWh to 1,000 kWh, as well as a 1,500 L tank for the on-board generator, will provide significant autonomy.

Luxurious furnishings

Once at anchor, the crew can take advantage of the on-board electrical power to enjoy the anchorage in silence. A large sunbathing area and tilting bulwarks allow you to relax. A large U-shaped bench aft faces the step. Under the hard top, there's a wet bar to port and a bench seat to starboard, and further forward a table and a C-shaped bench seat, aft of the well-protected helm station.

Passageways, well protected by the wall, give access to a C-shaped forward cockpit, which can also be used as a double chaise longue.

The Sialia 59 will be offered in 3 deck layout versions: the weekender with a well-protected superstructure, the 59 S for sport, whose hardtop will remain open on the sides, for more outdoor living, and finally the 59 R for Runabout, with an elegant, long, low windshield and a simple front sundeck.

Here, too, the Sialia 57's layout demonstrates the high standards and luxury demanded by the shipyard, which promises a variety of interior layouts for the Sialia 59, depending on whether it is used as an owner's or crew cabin, and whether or not it has an underdeck galley.
