Forward-thinking yacht brand Sialia Yachts has announced the latest addition to its growing portfolio, the Sialia 80 Explorer. Designed in partnership with Dutch naval architecture studio Vripack, the release marks Sialia’s most advanced vessel yet with complete electric cruising capability.
Measuring in at just over 87 ft and built in high-grade titanium, the yacht is designed to be a real all-rounder, even in the most testing of conditions and environments. She features a state-of-the-art AMPROS propulsion system, uses two 400 kW electric motors and can hit speeds of up to 11 knots and boasts a range of over 3,000 nm.

“While eco-friendly yachting is still a niche, progress toward cleaner technologies is inevitable,” said Stanislav Szadkowski, co-founder and CEO of Sialia Yachts. “The speed of this change depends on our daily efforts and commitment to a greener future.
“Sialia 80 Explorer is designed to redefine exploration and sustainability; to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions, traveling to some of the world’s most remote locations in silence and with minimal environmental impact.”
Under the guidance of Vripack, the Sialia 80 Explorer deftly blends functionality with smart, future-forward aesthetics. The boat can accommodate up to 12 guests across four cabins, with two crew berths. Several distinctive interior design choices set her apart, including the placement of the master cabin which allows it direct beach club access, and mullion-less windows to create an airy, light-filled atmosphere.

“We strongly believe that a holistic approach to yacht design leads to a satisfying experience. Proper naval architecture accommodates the exciting exterior aesthetics and playful layout and ensures efficient and safe cruising […] It is this holistic approach to yacht design that makes it the best investment you can make,” said Joost Mertens, fleet and sales manager at Vripack.
The 80 Explorer joins Sialia’s expansive eco-friendly range – created by a team working across Poland, France, The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland – including the Sialia 59 Loft and the Sialia 59 Launch.
