Silver Edge Motor Yacht

A helipad and a crew of 17 waiting on 18 guests set the tone for Silver Edge before a guest ever reaches the sun deck. She measures 80 metres, or 261 feet, and Silver Yachts is building her now in Australia for delivery in 2028. Everything about her, from the tender fleet to the jacuzzi on the sun deck, is built around arriving and staying rather than simply crossing water.

Build and provenance

Silver Yachts is building Silver Edge in Australia, a monohull motor yacht due for delivery in 2028. Her hull is aluminium, and Lloyd's Register classes her, decisions suited to a yacht built for a long service life rather than a single season. Espen Oeino drew her exterior lines, and Piredda and Partners designed her interior.

Layout and accommodation

Eighteen guests occupy eight cabins with a crew of 17 in service, averaging nearly one crew member per guest. That ratio points to full, attentive service rather than a lean skeleton crew running the boat.

Performance and engineering

Her twin MTU powerplants deliver a 14-knot cruise and 23-knot maximum speed, with a range of 5,000 nautical miles, enough to cross an ocean rather than hop between neighbouring ports. At 1,055 gross tonnes she carries that range without feeling like a yacht built purely for speed. A 7-metre RIB and a 5-metre rescue tender cover the practical side of getting guests and gear ashore, alongside jet skis and other water toys for days spent at anchor.

On deck and at anchor

The sun deck carries a jacuzzi at its centre, built for evenings rather than passage-making, and a helipad means guests can step aboard, or leave, without touching a tender.

Where she lies and how to see her

Silver Edge is being built in Australia, and we can take a buyer to see her build in progress or arrange a viewing once she is afloat. Boatcrowd sets up the visit and is there for it, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before she changes hands.
