Sialia Yachts is set to begin production of its new Sialia 45 Sport electric day cruiser designed for performance, luxury, and long-range eco-cruising.
The model has been developed in response to extensive customer and market research with construction set to begin in the summer of 2024.
The cruiser will be made from carbon fibre for speed and range. She will be able to cruise at 25 knots with a top speed of up to 43 knots, and a range of more than 70NM in the pure electric version and a 164NM when fitted with a range extender.
Solar panels are integrated into the build and there is also advanced charging technology, including the ability to charge with up to 350kW of DC power, with Sialia claiming it will be the fastest-charging electric yacht on the market while also compatible with AC shore power at any marina.
The 45ft yacht can be customised with three trim levels: Active, Plus, and Premium, each providing an increasing level of opulence and material quality.
Market demand
And the yacht can be configured according to each owner’s needs, with two layouts to choose from.
Three drivetrain options address different boating needs.
“We recognised a demand in the market for a smaller model that offers an electric experience at an easier entry point,” explains Stanislav Szadkowski, founder and CEO of Sialia Yachts.
“Opting for a 45ft size allows for versatility and accessibility, fitting into most marinas and manageable for single operators.
“Our decision stemmed from thorough market research, aiming to create a luxurious yet sporty boat capable of traveling from Miami to the Bahamas with a speed of 25 knots on electric power.”
He added: “We’ve optimised design, materials, and drivetrains globally, ensuring uncompromised electric yachting. Introducing clear trim levels and a wide range of drivetrain options, supported by an online configurator, enhances transparency and ease for prospective buyers.
Sialia Yachts has collaborated with naval architecture studio Petestep for the hull design and Denis Popov Design.
