Fair Dinkum: A Different Way to Cruise Aboard the SILENT 55

Meet Fair Dinkum, a 2019 SILENT 55 solar-electric catamaran that offers a very different approach to luxury cruising.

Designed around solar power, electric propulsion and greater onboard independence, the SILENT 55 was created for owners who value quiet operation, efficiency and the ability to spend extended time away from the dock. Fair Dinkum takes that original concept considerably further.

Following an extensive refit with more than $1 million invested in upgrades and improvements, the yacht has received significant updates across many of the systems that matter most for extended cruising. Upgrades include batteries and electrical systems, watermaker, electronics, climate systems, ElectroSea equipment, Starlink and FLIR, along with refreshed upholstery and interior improvements.

The result is a yacht that combines innovative solar-electric technology with the space and practicality of a true cruising catamaran.

Her four-stateroom, four-head layout provides comfortable accommodations for family and guests, while the catamaran’s generous beam creates expansive living and entertaining areas inside and out. Large social spaces, abundant natural light and easy access to the water make Fair Dinkum equally suited to extended passages, island hopping or simply spending several days at anchor.

But perhaps the most interesting part of Fair Dinkum isn’t what you see when you step aboard.

It’s what you hear.

Or, more accurately, what you don’t.

Electric propulsion changes the experience of being underway. Reduced engine noise and vibration create a quieter connection to the surroundings, while the yacht’s solar-generation capabilities are designed to reduce dependence on conventional fuel and shore power.

For an owner accustomed to traditional diesel-powered yachts, that can represent an entirely different way of thinking about time on the water.

Fair Dinkum isn’t simply about going electric. It’s about cruising farther, staying longer and becoming less dependent on the dock while retaining the comfort, technology and accommodations expected aboard a luxury yacht.

For buyers exploring alternative propulsion, solar-powered cruising or a more self-sufficient approach to yacht ownership, this extensively upgraded SILENT 55 deserves a closer look.

Step aboard Fair Dinkum and discover what happens when technology, independence and the cruising lifestyle come together.
