SILVER CLOUD Specifications

Abeking & rasmussen silver cloud for sale.

Silver Cloud is a 134’6″ SWATH Yacht built by Abeking & Rasmussen in Germany. SWATH stands for Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull. The outstanding feature is smooth sailing in rough seas. A&R has perfected this design by building numerous SWATH ships for pilot service in the North Sea, an area known for very rough conditions. The 80′ SWATH pilot boats can safely put pilots on and off ships in seas to 20 feet.

The first SWATH yacht was designed and built for a trailblazing, experienced yachtsman so he could take his family and friends around the world in complete comfort and without the effect of seasickness. Silver Cloud has been around the world twice with owners and guests aboard for all open water crossings including transpacific and transatlantic. Silver Cloud was awarded the Technology Award at the prestigious World Superyacht Awards in 2009

The stability of this vessel is truly exceptional and you can view a video of a SWATH ship along side a much larger vessel in rough seas by visiting the web site www.yachtsilvercloud.com. Also, this web site will give you details and photographs of Silver Cloud from conception to completing her world cruises.

Silver Cloud has recently completed her DNV/GL inspection including the rebuild of her main engines and is ready for many more years of outstanding adventures to interesting places most yachts do not venture. 

Silver Cloud is currently in a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ).

Abeking & Rasmussen’s 63 metre SWATH yacht

By Adrian Prisca

Updated on August 31, 2017

Here’s a 63.4 meter long fabulous Swath (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) superyacht design penned down, developed and built by Abeking & Rasmussen (A&R) alongside Reymond Langton Design. At the base of the Swath concept lies a pair of torpedo-shaped submarine hulls which both lie under the water surface, permanently. The two are tied to the yacht via two narrow struts.

An interesting fact about this superyacht is that the cross-section region at the surface of the sea is around a sixth of a comparable size superyacht, therefore only a small part of the ship is actually exposed to the lifting forces exerted by the waves, while 5 sixths of the flotation is bore by the submarine hulls.

This allows even those suffering from seasickness to get onboard the superyacht, as, due to the reduced contact area between the ocean and the hull, Swath superyachts are dramatically less affected by the motion of the sea – physicists call this lower vertical acceleration.

The beam of the yacht further increases its stability, which results in being almost double the one of a traditional yacht of this massive size. The beam alone measures 24.5 meters in length, allowing for almost palatial interiors. A disadvantage of the yacht is that its twin hulls come with no interior guest space, but this is compensated by the huge space on the decks above.

The main deck houses four double cabins, lined up in the bow of the yacht and ending with a fore facing private balcony. A fifth double cabin can be found behind the fore cabins, which, even though it doesn’t boast with such exceptional luxury, still features breathtaking views through expansive windows. In addition, the main deck also provides a lavish gym and an entrance lobby, also usable as a secondary saloon, in case the standard levels of accommodation get surpassed.

The area which on regular yachts serves as the main deck, here consists of a central galley and accommodation for the crew, fully separated from the guest areas. The dining area and the main saloon will be located on the bridge deck, both opening up towards a massive aft guest deck, tied to the superyacht’s private helipad.

Furthermore, the owner will be gifted with his own private deck above the bridge, including a fore-facing cabin, private saloon aft alongside his and hers bathrooms. The highest deck of the boat, the sundeck, boasts with a lounge area, sunpads and a magnificent Jacuzzi.

Written by Eva Belanyiova

Abeking & Rasmussen ‘s 63m SWATH Explorer Yacht is an innovative construction project by this well known German shipyard, offering great space and comfort and an operation ability independent of the state of the sea, enabling unspoiled enjoyment of yachting lifestyle.

Abeking & Rasmussen 63m SWATH Yacht

With exterior designed by Reymond Langton Design , the new Explorer yacht SWATH 63m project provides her guests with great on deck areas, including salons with unprecedented areal space, free balconies and generously dimensioned free zones, for pleasant stay on board even in rough seas. This innovative concept opens up new adventurous worlds, which conventional yachts have nothing to set against.

SWATH stands for a Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull, describing a state-of-the-art hull-concept for smooth service in rough seas. The buoyancy of a SWATH-vessel is provided by submerged torpedo-like bodies, which are connected by single or twin struts to the upper platform. The cross-section at sea-surface level is minimised and thus only a minimum of the ship is exposed to the lifting forces of the waves.

Abeking & Rasmussen SWATH Yacht of 63 metres

The new 63m SWATH Explorer Yacht by Abeking & Rasmussen features a neatly horizontal deck at all times! Thanks to the small waterplane area exposed to the surface waves, a SWATH-ship is not ‘thrown to the side’ or ‘falling into the hole between the waves’ crests’ like a monohull or a conventional catamaran. The rolling and pitching angles are dramatically smaller.

This vessel, such as the new Explorer yacht SWATH 63m, can be compared to a filter, which reacts only with smooth heaving motions (low acceleration level) to the various surface wave patterns. The SWATH provides a sensationally stable platform for her guests’ transport and dinner cruises (… without bolted tables and sliding glasses!).

In addition to her great stability and spectacular looks, the new SWATH explorer yacht boasts 63,40 metres (208 feet), has a beam of 24,5 metres (80 feet) and a draft of 6 metres (19,50 feet).

12 of the coolest multihull superyachts

The market for multi-hull superyachts has skyrocketed in recent years as owners begin to favour the high volumes and superlative stability on offer. Once the novelty of a small group of owners, a recent slew of multi-hull concepts and the success of shipyards such as Sunreef has confirmed that two and three-hulled superyachts are well and truly on the up. We remember some of the most ground-breaking multi-hull launches...

White Rabbit

One of the coolest launches of 2018, the 84 metre White Rabbit is the largest trimaran in the world. She was built in fibreglass by Australian Yard Echo Yachts with exterior design by Sam Sorgiovanni and naval architecture by One2Three. White Rabbit was delivered to an experienced owner who owns a number of other multihull superyachts, including a 51 metre shadow catamaran, also built by Echo Yachts, which will be used as a support vessel; for the 84 metre trimaran.

More about this yacht

Inspired by Game of Thrones, the 66 metre shadow catamaran Hodor is a support vessel used to carry all the toys and tenders for her mothership. The vessel is fully custom and was designed by Incat Crowther. Hodor boasts five tenders, including a 17 metre chase boat and a 388 Skater powerboat with a top speed of 165 knots. Other toys include nine Jet Skis, two Yamaha ATCs, four Yamaha TW200 trail motorcycles and a three-person submarine.

A true icon,  Adastra was launched in 2012 by Australian yard McConaghy Yachts . With a length of 42.5 metres and a sleek Kevlar and GRP exterior, this space-age design is every bit as out-of-this-world as its name suggests. Made for exploring, an impressive 10,000 nautical mile range means she can cross the Atlantic twice before needing to refuel. A shallow draft of 1.2 metres allows her to access hard to reach anchorages and shallow bays too.

Yachts for sale

In 2011,  Hemisphere was launched as world’s largest sailing catamaran with an LOA of 44.2 metres - and she remains so to this day. Built for American owners who had previously chartered a catamaran in the Caribbean, this British yacht was a bespoke project by Pendennis . Fully kitted out for diving, Hemisphere ’s port hull contains a dive centre capable of refilling both air and Nitrox tanks.

Yachts for charter

Royal falcon one.

The 41.4 metre Royal Falcon One is a quirky catamaran launched in 2019. She was designed by Singapore-based Royal Falcon Fleet in collaboration with F.A Porsche Design Studio and built in Sweden by Kockums. Accommodation is for up to 10 guests in five spacious cabins, including a full beam master suite with its own private deck space. Crew are housed in the two hulls.

Galaxy of Happiness

Unveiled to the world in May 2016, Galaxy of Happiness  is one of two 53 metre trimarans to be launched by Latvian yard Latitude Yachts . This multihull superyacht is built from a GRP and carbon fibre composite and is capable of a top speed of 30 knots. The interior, designed by Latitude Yachts and Jean-Jacques Coste , features an owner’s cabin and two guest cabins.

Launched in 2004, this Chinese catamaran from Pride Mega Yachts may look like a vision of the future, but the inspiration for Asean Lady is actually ancient. The twin hulled 88.15 metre yacht is based on the proa design that has been used for more than 2,000 years to build fishing boats in the Pacific region. Her stability was put to the test in December 2004 when she survived the Indian Ocean tsunami while moored off Phuket.

Flexibility is the key word that informed the design of the 33.7 metre  Quaranta . Launched at Turkish yard Logos Marine in 2013, this catamaran superyacht features the kind of interior volume more commonly associated with a 40 metre yacht. All six guest suites are located on the main deck and the absence of structural bulkheads means that they can easily be reconfigured. This innovative system helped Quaranta to win the catamaran award at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards .

Popular among commercial buyers, SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) designs are becoming increasingly sought-after by private clients due to their internal space and sea keeping abilities. The most prominent example of this is the Abeking & Rasmussen designed Nurja (formerly Silver Cloud ) , a 40.54 metre SWATH that was launched in 2008. The torpedo-shaped submerged hulls contain the engines and as a result the vibration levels on board are significantly reduced.

This 27.43 metre catamaran was first launched in 2004 as a fishing vessel, before being refitted in 2015 by Ocean Voyager and relaunched under the name Rogue . Sold in June 2018 she was renamed Basilisk . Ideal for long cruises, she boasts a maximum range of 7,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, while the eight-tonne deck crane means that all manner of superyacht water toys can be stored aboard.

New Luxury Superyacht Design Includes SWATH Hull, Retrofuturistic Style

A bold new design from Andy Waugh Yacht Design deploys modern SWATH design and some nods to the past.

A new superyacht design’s retrofuturistic lines are drawing attention across the industry.

The Decadence is the latest design from UK-based Andy Waugh Yacht Design includes “small-waterplane-area-twin-hull” – or SWATH – as well as sweeping lines that invoke a different age.

According to Andy Waugh Yacht Design, the Decadence takes its aesthetic cues from 1920s automotive and aeronautical design. According to Drivespark.com, the Decadence “ looks absolutely mad and gives it a few advantages when riding the waves.”

SWATH designs are somewhat forget-everything-you-know-about-catamarans. A central body is connected by slender stilts to cylindrical, submerged hulls. According to  Andy Waugh Yacht Design, this would allow Decadence to achieve about 70% reduction in pitch and roll when compared to a traditional monohull.

The Hindustan Times marveled at the yacht’s size. “The length of the yacht is so huge,” the newspaper noted, “that it could be nearly as tall as the Statue of Liberty, if you measure from the ground to the top of her head.”

The Decadence would be 80m in length and with 30m of beam – and the SWATH design allows for some creative use of space. Crew quarters can be placed entirely in the submerged hulls, while the owner’s suite could be 20m wide and 30m long with 3m ceiling height. Technical spaces can also be kept away from the main body, which can be used entirely by guests while the rest of the yacht still provides comfortable quarters for crew.

120' Eastern Swath 1999

 Built at the Eastern Shipbuilding Group in Panama City, Florida.

The 2 main engines are Allison 501KF Turbines (10,600HP, 30 knots)...

Bow thruster...Ride Control, MDI-Active Fin, Stabilizers Inmarsat-C Mobile Earth Station-MES.

A  Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull , better known by the acronym  SWATH , is a twin-hull ship design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. Minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea, where wave energy is located, maximizes a vessel's stability (lowers sea sickness), even in high seas and at high speeds. The bulk of the displacement necessary to keep the ship afloat is located beneath the waves, where it is less affected by wave action. Wave excitation drops exponentially as depth increases, so wave action normally does not affect a submerged submarine at all. Placing the majority of a ship's displacement under the waves is similar in concept to creating a ship that rides atop twin submarines.
