Silver Edge: A Conceptual 260-Foot Superyacht featuring a Glass-Bottomed Pool and a Private Winter Garden

The latest concept from SilverYachts, known as Silver Edge, exemplifies marine design excellence in multiple aspects.

Measuring 260 feet in length, Silver Edge boasts a gleaming aluminum hull and superstructure, along with an array of luxurious amenities. The Australian shipyard once again joined forces with renowned naval architect and designer Espen Øino, who has played a pivotal role in shaping the Silver fleet, to craft this remarkable vessel.

True to the yard’s design philosophy of industrial elegance, Silver Edge combines a sleek design with a beam of approximately 33 feet and a draft of around 9 feet. The superyacht offers a spacious interior encompassing 1,030 gross tons that can be tailored to the owner’s preferences.

Accommodations onboard include four guest cabins, three VIP cabins, and a generous owner’s suite featuring a private salon and en suite facilities, providing a total capacity for 18 guests. Additionally, there are quarters for 17 crew members, although sleep may not be a top priority given the abundance of entertainment options.

The main deck of the superyacht boasts a 16-foot-long bathing pool with an integrated glass bottom, creating an ideal spot for relaxation. This terrace also features a serene winter garden, a lounge, and a bar for dining and socializing. The sundeck includes a Jacuzzi and an outdoor dining area.

At the aft of the ship, you’ll find a beach club, fitness center, dive center, and a swim deck with a retractable pool platform. A garage is available for storing a 23-foot tender, Jet Skis, and wave runners, while a foredeck port accommodates a rescue boat. The aft deck has ample space for an additional 30-foot tender, and all equipment can be deployed into the water effortlessly using the concealed hoist at the ship’s rear. Silver Edge is also equipped with a helipad for convenient helicopter operations.

Designed for global exploration, Silver Edge is expected to possess a Trans-Atlantic range, although specific propulsion details have not been provided by the shipyard.

This new design comes on the heels of SilverYachts’ introduction of the explorer yacht Bold. Measuring 279 feet, Bold, unveiled in 2019, is the shipyard’s largest vessel to date and has garnered significant acclaim. With Silver Edge, there’s anticipation for another bold addition to the waters.
