🌊 Solar at Sea: Revolutionizing Sustainable Yachting 🌞 Imagine sailing into the horizon with nothing but the gentle hum of the sea around you—no engine noise, no oil sheen on the water, and no emissions. This is the reality that Silent Yachts, founded by Michael G. Köhler, is bringing to the oceans. Through innovative solar-powered yachts, they’re setting a new standard for sustainability on the water. Michael’s journey started as a passion project in the 1990s. With a bag of transistors, a battery, and a vision for eco-friendly yachting, he and his wife Heike launched Silent Yachts in 2009, designing yachts that rely primarily on solar energy to power everything from propulsion to onboard appliances. Silent Yachts goes beyond just building boats—it’s about transparent, intentional design. Their YouTube Tech Shorts dive into sustainable decisions, like using carbon-fiber propellers for silent, fuel-efficient performance. Recently awarded the 2024 Real Leaders Impact Award, Silent Yachts champions employee growth, democracy in the workplace, and environmental responsibility. For anyone looking to combine luxury with a lighter environmental footprint, Silent Yachts is charting the course for the future of yachting.
