Silent Yachts CEO and Nuvolari Lenard sign partnership at table

Catamaran builder Silent Yachts has engaged leading superyacht design firm Nuvolari Lenard to design a new generation of solar-powered catamarans.

The first model penned by Nuvolari Lenard is currently under development, with an anticipated launch in 2026. Beyond this debut, the Venice-based studio will design all new Silent Yachts models up to 24 metres. Nuvolari Lenard is known for its work on some of the world’s most recognisable superyachts including the 106m Black Pearl, 122m Kismet and the muscular 141m Nord.

According to Silent Yachts, the partnership marks a significant development in its efforts to advance sustainable marine design while introducing elevated standards of accommodation and aesthetics.

“The collaboration is a blend of Nuvolari Lenard’s sophistication and innovative approach to yacht design with Silent Yachts’ philosophy of sustainability and advanced technology,” says Silent Yachts CEO Fabrizio Iarrera. “The design studio’s architectural sensitivity will bring a refined elegance to Silent Yachts, bridging form and function in harmony. The goal is to enhance not just the aesthetics but also the overall on-board experience.”

Founded in 1990, recent years have seen the design studio working with brands including Palmer & Johnson and MCY. Silent Yachts is most active in the 18-24m range, although there is a plan for a larger project.
 
“Nuvolari Lenard brings the same passion and attention to detail to both superyachts and smaller semi-custom yachts, always maintaining our signature style,” says co-founders Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard in a statement. “We are excited to be working with Silent Yachts, who share our values of innovation, sustainability, and a commitment to pushing boundaries.”
