Sialia Yachts is pushing the limits of marine electrification with virtually silent MWh vessels
A relatively young boatbuilder called Sialia Yachts is assembling an impressive portfolio of all-electric luxury vessels boasting some of the best power and range we’ve seen in the marine industry. These Sialia yachts, like the all-electric 57 Deep Silence, offer a one mega-watt-hour (MWh) battery capacity and 400 kW motors capable of transporting a dozen passengers long distances.
Sialia Yachts, founded in 2017, is a builder of custom sustainable yachts based in Warsaw, Poland. It has expanded its team to include minds from around Europe, including the Netherlands and Italy. According to the company website, its goal is to “break barriers and set new standards in sustainable yachting.”
One look at its growing lineup of all-electric luxury vessels, and it’s clear that the company is well on its way, delivering some of the more impressive technology and performance we’ve seen in the blossoming marine electrifications segment. One of the stars of that lineup is the Sialia 57 Deep Silence electric yacht, a 17.6-meter vessel that touts massive batteries, two powerful motors, and impressive cruising speeds.
All while delivering an onboard experience that is plush and home-like. Check it out:
Sialia Yachts offers seven different all-electric vessels
We highly recommend checking out Sialia’s website to explore its entire lineup of electric yachts, including a 26.6-meter 80 Explorer and 12-passenger 59 Weekender; we will focus on the vessel seen above, the 57 Deep Silence—the flagship model that inspired the boatbuilders’ 59 line of electric yachts available today.
Per Sialia Yachts, this all-electric 12-passenger boat was designed with an “unwavering commitment to sustainability, without compromising aesthetics or functionality.” Sialia has achieved that goal in many ways, delivering to customers everything (comfort, luxury, performance, and zero-emissions) in a 19,000 kg carbon fiber package.
The electric yacht boasts a 1,000 kWh battery pack complimented by a Vripack design hull that maximizes space for the all-electric drivetrain. The 57 Deep Silence is propelled by technology from AMPROS, which includes two 400 kW electric motors. That system also enables AC charging of up to 22 kW and DC fast charging of up to 150 kW. Those components combine for a sustainable and ultra-quiet drivetrain configuration that can deliver up to 390 kW of continuous power and push the electric yacht to speeds over 25 knots (~29 mph). Here are some charge rates and estimated ranges:
| Charge Rate (10-90%) | Charge Time (1,000 kW Battery) |
| 150 kW DC | 5.8 hours |
| 50 kW DC | 17.3 hours |
| 2x 22 kW (3-phase) AC | 19.6 hours |
| 1x 22 kW (3-phase) AC | 29.3 hours |
| Speed | All-Electric Range (1,000 kW Battery) |
| 8 knots | 114 nautical miles (131 miles) |
| 16 knots | 46 nautical miles (53 miles) |
| 25 knots | 33 nautical miles (38 miles) |
Stalia named the yacht above Deep Silence for a reason. That electric yacht’s powertrain and other vessels deliver 0 decibels of noise, allowing customers to enjoy the serene sounds of waves lapping and birds squawking.
These electric Sialia Yachts vary in price based on a number of factors, including size, model, finish, powertrain, charging capabilities, and extras, but in the millions of euros range and go up from there. You can get a better look at the 57 Deep Silene from Sialia in its video below:

ACME stock soars on today’s cartoonishly silly episode of Quick Charge, we watch Tesla Autopilot crash into a wall with a painting on it, make the Elon stans look silly when they point out shady behavior from their fearless leader, and toss out the notion that some franchise dealers might help the troubled EV brand make more sales in red states.
We also cover Toyota as it moves to position itself for global battery dominance by suppling batteries to more than 400,000 electrified Honda vehicles per year, plus an upgraded Xpeng G6 electric SUV that makes everything on this side of the Pacific look positively plebeian. All this and more, enjoy!

Tesla has already started offering 0% APR on loans for the new Model Y in China, showing a clear sign of weak demand.
We recently reported that Tesla is under increased pressure from competition in China, the world’s largest EV market.
The Tesla Model 3 was recently surpassed in sales by the Xiaomi SU7 in a record short period from starting production. The SU7 not only outsells Model 3 in China, but Xiaomi’s electric sedan has a 31-34-week-long order backlog compared to just 1-3 weeks for Tesla’s.
Last month, Tesla started offering a new RMB 8,000 ($1,100 USD) insurance subsidy and 0% loans on new Model 3 orders.
Tesla didn’t apply these same offers to new Model Y orders because Tesla enjoyed more demand for the vehicle due to the launch of the Model Y refresh, and the production launch limited the supplies.
However, we also noted that reports of more than 200,000 orders for the new Model Y were exaggerated and the current delivery timelines pointed to soft demand for the new Model Y.
We noted that a good indication of when Tesla is running out of the backlog of orders, which was opened in January, for the newly delivered vehicle would be if Tesla brings back financing incentives on the Model Y.
Today, Tesla announced that it was bringing back the 0% interest loans on the base version of the new Model Y:
The Model Y RWD is by far Tesla’s best-selling car in China and Tesla is now offering up to 3 years at 0% for a 30% down payment and some discounted rates for a smaller down payment.
The incentive starts now and up to April 30. Tesla wrote:
If you purchase a Model Y rear-wheel drive version from March 18, 2025 to April 30, 2025 and pick up the car before the order expiration date according to the delivery and payment terms in the order, eligible customers can apply for the following financial preferential plans:
Tesla currently quotes “2-4 weeks” as a delivery timeline for new orders for the new Model Y RWD, and 6-10 weeks for Long Range AWD.
The Long Range appears to enjoy a bit more demand. Tesla even slightly increased the price by RMB 10,000 yuan ($1,380).
Electrek’s Take
It’s important to consider that Tesla is believed to be selling a mix of RWD vs AWD around 3 to 1 or even 4 to 1. Therefore, any change in pricing and subsidized loans to the Short Range RWD would have a massive impact on Tesla.
I have to say, I’m surprised. I suspected Tesla would have some issues selling the new Model Y in the second half of the year after some excitement for the new version wore off and competition like the Xiaomi YU7 would arrive, but I didn’t think it would come so fast.
Even if this is because Tesla was able to ramp up production of the new version faster, which could mean more deliveries in Q1, the fact that they are already discounting them is a terrible sign of demand.
I didn’t have high hopes for Tesla’s prospects in China in 2025, but even I thought this would not come for another 3-5 months.

President Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial crypto project said on Monday that it raised $250 million in its second token sale, bringing the total amount of coins sold to $550 million.
WLFI, a venture backed by the first family that describes itself as a sort of crypto banking platform, launched in October, weeks before Trump’s election victory. In a document published at the time of launch, WLFI said the Trump family could take home 75% of net revenue.
In Monday’s release, WLFI said more than 85,000 participants underwent so-called know-your-customer verification to gain access to the token sale. Co-founder Zach Witkoff, son of billionaire U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, is quoted in the release as saying that “WLFI is on track to supercharge DeFi,” or decentralized finance.
In January, Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun upped his stake in WLFI tokens to $75 million. A court filing the following month showed that Sun and the SEC were exploring a resolution to the regulator’s civil fraud case against the crypto entrepreneur.
WLFI is one of several crypto projects in the Trump family that are kicking off just as the president is pushing a crypto-friendly agenda. Earlier this month, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
According to a memo from the White House last week, David Sacks, the Trump administration’s AI and crypto czar, sold over $200 million worth of digital asset-related investments personally and through his firm, Craft Ventures, before starting the job. Sacks said in a podcast that he “didn’t want to even have the appearance of a conflict.”
At the end of February, the SEC declared that meme tokens are not securities. The announcement came after the president and First Lady Melania Trump launched their own meme coins in the days leading up to the inauguration.
