BURGESS
BURGESS SILVER FAST
At 77 metres (252.6ft), SILVER FAST is the world’s largest and fastest aluminium motor yacht with conventional
propulsion. Her distinctive styling, with a sleek, streamlined hull and metallic silver livery was designed by
Espen Øino. She is the fourth and most advanced vessel in the multiple award-winning Silver Series, whose
DNA is based on high calibre all-aluminium superyachts with fast, fuel-efficient credentials and long range
cruising capabilities.
SILVER FAST’s remarkable performance was demonstrated last year on her 3,200 nautical mile maiden voyage
from Perth, Western Australia to Sri Lanka, which she completed at an average speed of 17 knots with fuel
consumption of only 400 litres per hour (106 US gallons per hour). Delivering a range of 4,500 nautical miles
at 18 knots, her powerful MTU engines can carry her to a top speed of 27 knots in optimum conditions, and her
long-range cruising speed is 20 to 22 knots. Proven for long ocean passages in all sea states, her slender hull
cuts through the waves with ease, and she is quiet and vibration-free for night-time passages at 18 to 20
knots. Quantum zero-speed stabilisers keep her equally comfortable at anchor. Her shallow draft of
2.6 metres (8.5 feet) makes her perfect for cruising the shoal waters of the Gulf, the Maldives, the
South Pacific and the Bahamas. SILVER FAST’s airy, the contemporary interior was conceived
by Andreas Holnburger of Vain Interiors to be both fresh and luxurious. Teak paneling and
grey glass mirrors are complemented by innumerable custom finishes such as metallic
painted walls with leather steps on the central stairwell. Weight reduction is
