Silver Yachts Silvercat 36M

REDUCE is the latest yacht launched from Silver Yachts, a 36-meter SPACECAT designed and built around a philosophy of efficiency and sustainability. The yacht's name represents this ethos, from the choice of the most efficient marine platform to the choice of propulsors and hull and superstructure materials, with aluminum selected as the lightest, strongest, and most easily recyclable construction material for yachts of this size.

When Guido Krass and Espen Oeino came together to redefine the modern sustainable yacht, they took the already super-efficient slender monohulls that define the first generation of Silver Yachts to the next level by going for even more slender, thus more efficient designs, and paired them in the form of a catamaran to provide transverse stability while creating a perfect platform for the floating summer house. At 36 meters overall length by 13 meters beam, the length-to-beam ratio of a catamaran resembles more a house than a yacht, making it the perfect platform for the ultimate mobile family summer house with most guest and owner's spaces on deck as opposed to below deck.

With 400 m² of interior space and more than 450 m² of exterior deck space, REDUCE provides ample room for both crew and guests. The large yacht background of Silver Yachts is immediately felt when onboard REDUCE, with large windows, high ceiling heights, generous staircases, and corridors combined with the substantial beam.

The very low hull resistance makes it possible to reduce propulsion power and thus the engine room spaces, offering more room for crew and services. The Volvo Penta IPS pods have an extremely high propulsive efficiency, which, when combined with the low resistance of the slender hulls, propels the vessel to a top speed of 24 knots and a very economical cruising speed of 18 knots. The very modern Volvo Penta engines are fully Tier III compliant, reducing emissions to the minimum, and come with a fully integrated joystick system, making maneuvering and handling extremely easy.

In times of increased cost of yacht ownership as well as increased complexity at all levels, REDUCE exemplifies Silver Yachts' attempt at reducing some of the factors leading to these developments, hoping this next generation of yachts will meet the demand from both existing and new yacht owners.
