Australian yard Silver Yachts has revealed designs for a 79.5-metre all-aluminium yacht concept.
The design, which has been named Project Silver Edge, was designed by acclaimed naval architect and long-term Silver Yachts collaborator Espen Øino. The concept features a dive centre, beach club, glass-bottomed swimming pool, helipad and winter garden.
Silver Edge follows in the footsteps of of 77m Silver Fast, and acclaimed 85m explorer Bold, which was delivered in 2019 and is the yard’s largest yacht to date.

With an all-aluminium hull and superstructure, Silver Edge has accommodation for 18 guests across eight cabins (owner’s suite, three VIP and four guest rooms) as well as space for 17 crew.
A nine-metre tender can be stowed on the aft deck, which is deployed via a concealed crane, while a forward garage can store smaller tenders, as well as a rescue boat, water toys and jet skis.
The beach club aft includes a swim deck with a gym and dive centre.
The main deck has a 2.8m x 5m swimming pool with a glass bottom, as well as a bar, lounge and winter garden suitable for entertaining.
