With its lavish living quarters and striking aluminum hull, the 77-meter Silver Fast superyacht is not only one of the most gorgeous yachts in the water, it also is one of the fastest. With speeds up to 27 knots (31mph), the Silver Fast can make the run from Australia to Europe in three short weeks without stopping to refuel.

The Silver Fast is the epitome of luxury with an extravagant owner’s suite and room for up to 18 overnight guests who have access to a sun deck with an outdoor cinema, a mirrored bar, and an eight-person hot tub. There’s also a beach club with a gym for an at-sea workout, a massage room for relaxation, and a beauty salon for those last minute trims. Guests who need a little extra assistance can seek out one of the yacht’s 18 attentive crew members. And in the rare case an emergency arises, the boat can even accommodate a twin-engine helicopter on its landing pad.

One of the biggest selling points for the Silver Fast is its sleek and efficient design. The narrow beam hull and the twin 3,630hp MTU engines provide both fast 22 knots cruising speeds and fuel efficiency. The slender hull also provides vibration-free passage at speeds up to 20 knots, a great combination for those last-minute, late-night excursions. Silver Fast also has a shallow draft of only 2.6m, which allows it to travel in areas other similarly sized yachts cannot access.

Designed by naval architect Espen Oeino and Vain Interiors, the yacht was built by Silver Yachts in Australia and is being sold by superyacht brokerage firm Burgess Yachts. “This ground-breaking superyacht is a real head-turner and offers speed, efficiency and stylish luxury in equal measure,” said Burgess about its flagship superyacht.

To showcase the boat’s performance, Burgess recently sailed the Silver Fast from Perth to Sri Lanka as part of the yacht’s 3,200 nautical mile maiden voyage. During the trip, the boat traveled at an average speed of 17 knots and consumed 400 liters of fuel per hour. If you are interested in the Silver Fast, Burgess is selling the yacht for €79.5 million ($85 million).

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation
Demonstration of NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
