Silver Yachts Sells 85m Globalfast to be Delivered this Summer

As all superyachts built by Silver Yachts, Globalfast boasts a design penned by one of the industry’s most renowned figures in Espen Oeino. Developing on the success of Bold, Espen and the in-house Silver Yachts team have designed a project than marries elegance with impressive explorer capabilities to roam the world.

Globalfast will feature an unmistakable exterior design and unique layout, offering sophisticated and spacious interiors with 8 staterooms to accommodate guests.
Since its inception, Silver Yachts has been committed to building in aluminium to achieve fast and sleek superyachts. The Silver World Explorer reflects these values while also offering her owner incredible volume, range, and efficiency to experience the most remote regions of the world. Globalfast reaches a top speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots, with a 24/7 commercial helipad and plenty of storage for tenders and toys, made more accessible by an aft deck crane.

During the upcoming Australia InDepth documentary series, we visited the Silver Yachts facility during the construction of Hull 6, Global fast. Sander Toonen, COO of Silver Yachts, highlighted the strength of his shipyard’s in-house team, as well as they have continued to develop in-line with the design philosophy set out from the beginning.

“Silver Yachts’ aesthetic, the very recognisable image that we have, comes from the original design brief that we received from the owner of the company,” explained Sander. “He wanted efficient vessels, he wanted fast vessels, so they are all narrow and built out of aluminium to save weight and gain speed and efficiency.

“We still do everything ourselves. We have every trade in-house, and that provides flexibility to deal with things quickly and efficiently.”

 The raised Loft space was an award-winning feature of Bold, and return to Globalfast. “What’s so special about Bold is the loft,” noted Sander. “It’s a feature that won the lifestyle award because of its width. It’s the widest part of the vessel, 14m beam, raised up high above sea level so it offers fantastic views and it’s a wide, open space.”

Commenting on his long-standing relationship with Silver Yachts, Espen Oeino shared his admiration for the ambition and ‘can-do’ attitude of the Australian builder. “The concept was very attractive to me, it was something different,” said Espen in an interview for the Australia InDepth series.

“The unique combination of relatively high speed and long range, meaning it’s possible to cover long distances in really short periods of time, that’s incredibly important. That’s what Silver Yachts is all about.”

Sold to an Asian based client, we look forward to seeing another remarkable Silver Yachts project take to the waters later this year.
