Silent Resorts announces its Bahamas Silent Island construction and secures first silent yacht

Silent Resorts, exclusive partner with Silent-Yachts, has secured a Silent 55 as its inaugural promotional yacht and chose the Bahamas for the location of its very first resort. This private tropical island will include 16 four-bedroom waterfront villas and eight custom solar-powered catamarans from Silent-Yachts, along with a beachside clubhouse, resort-style pool, restaurant, bar, fitness room, game room and spa. The construction will begin in 2021.

Silent Resorts’ mission is to make island villa and luxury yacht ownership more affordable and create a sustainable, self-sufficient, private and secure luxury land and sea experience. Members are owners and share the benefits of island and yachting lifestyle, managed by a team of experienced real estate, hospitality, luxury property management and yacht industry professionals.

"Silent Resorts is a true innovator in the luxury experience market," said Michael Köhler, founder and CEO of Silent-Yachts. "With Silent Resorts, we are creating the world's first 100% solar-powered, luxury adventure destination where land and sea are integrated. Silent Resorts’ exclusive relationship with Silent-Yachts and its integration of the world's first fully solar yachts with pre-engineered, modular, low-impact, land-based infrastructure, allows owner/members to enjoy the planet's most pristine and undiscovered destinations in a sustainable, environmentally sensitive manner."

All Silent Resorts members/owners have full access to their four-bedroom villas and four-cabin suite yachts for five weeks or more per year, with the possibility to share their no-cost stays with friends and family. Memberships are for a lifetime and can be gifted or sold.

"Our philosophy is to employ the natural environment as chief design director and work for her," commented Victor Barrett, CEO of Silent Resorts. "The location in the Bahamas is the first of others we are considering, including Belize, Panama, French Polynesia, Maldives, Indonesia, and more in the world’s most beautiful archipelagos and yachting destinations. With the infinite cruising range of the luxurious, solar-powered, transoceanic Silent Yachts, no location is too far! All members will have access to all our global locations."

This Holiday season, Silent Resorts has launched with special incentives for the first 25 founding memberships. These memberships are offered with a unique investment return and only available for the first 25 members.

"Our partners managing our inaugural yacht, a very special Silent 55 named Silent Voyager, will be making a historic solar powered world cruise starting in the spring of 2021 in Italy, crossing the Atlantic to reach the Bahamas during the year, and then she plans to continue its circumnavigation in 2022 while exploring our stunning new locations," said Barrett.

Founding members will have other opportunities in addition to the access to Silent Voyager along its journey from Italy to the Bahamas. They will also receive all the benefits of the regular membership, plus the introductory founders-only membership price of $395,000 (c.€324,950), and other additional financial incentives. All Silent Resort Bahamas members enjoy a minimum five weeks per year of villa and yacht vacations. Their private club staff provides personalised services, ensures that all Silent Island vacations are seamless, and takes care of all villa and yacht maintenance responsibilities.

“The only thing our members will have to worry about is when they will return for another extraordinary villa-yacht vacation,” said Barrett. “They can combine villa stays and yacht cruises or stay only in a villa or only on a yacht during their visits. For large travel parties, they can enjoy multiple villas and/or yachts during the same trip. It’s up to them how they use their membership privileges.”

In addition, every founding member will get a personalised scale model of the Silent 60 with his/her name and membership number on it.
