The SY80 2-Deck to make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2025
Italian solar-powered catamaran builder Silent Yachts has announced its flagship SY80 is nearing completion, with the 2-Deck version set for its world debut at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. This news follows the company's successful launch of two SY62 3-Deck Open units and an SY62 3-Deck Closed version from its Fano shipyard earlier this year.

The 24m SY80 encompasses all of the sustainable features found on the previous yachts, but on a larger scale. Capable of accommodating up to 12 guests in style and comfort – and with its ‘Made-in-Italy’ craftsmanship discernible in every inch of the yacht’s design – the adventure-ready flagship offers a huge open layout, generous staterooms and plentiful storage for water toys.
“We are so excited to introduce our latest model to the market this year,” says CEO Fabrizio Iarrera. “What sets the SY80 apart from other competing models is the fact that owners can fully customise every deck, tailoring each space to match their functional needs and individual style. We can accommodate a very high number of different configurations, making the yacht of your dreams into a lived reality.”
As on the SY62s, the owners of the SY80 can choose from 2-Deck, 3-Deck Open, or 3-Deck Closed layouts. All three versions can feature a spacious on-deck master suite or a completely open-plan salon, with the master cabin located on the lower deck.
Performance-wise, the catamaran also delivers at the highest level. Capable of reaching top speeds of 12kt and cruising comfortably at 7-8kt, the SY80 has an impressive battery capacity of 522 kWh/696 kWh, with a peak solar array of 22.4 kWp.
Set to make its industry debut at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival in September, the SY80 2-Deck will be ready to touch water in the coming weeks.
Deck Options
SY80 3-Deck Open
An expansive, fully open third deck offers 84 m² of sky lounge space. Its open-sided design creates an authentic outdoor ambiance with a perfect balance of sun and shade, ideal for owner and guest relaxation. This versatile area can also be customized to the owner's specific preferences.
SY80 3-Deck Closed
The closed 3-deck version offers a choice: an owner's suite complete with a private 41 m² aft terrace, or an indoor lounge. The lounge option, ideal for those who enjoy onboard entertaining, features a 39 m² dining area with a full bar and galley, while still providing access to the same 41 m² aft terrace.
SY80 2-Deck
Like the 60 Series, the 80 Series can be configured with a retractable roof. Its 2-deck version offers a spacious 53 m² and includes a dedicated helm station providing 360° views for steering.
