Vripack, known for his cutting-edge naval architecture, brought his expertise to ensure that the unit embodies both functional innovation and aesthetics.
“We strongly believe that a holistic approach to yacht design leads to a satisfying experience. Proper naval architecture accommodates the exciting exterior aesthetics and playful layout and ensures efficient and safe cruising. Utterly important in the case of electric propulsion.

An efficient and safe hull carries through the lifetime of the yacht without any maintenance.” – Joost Mertens, Fleet & Sales Manager at Vripack.
Sialia 80 Explorer design philosophy
Sialia 80 Explorer stands out in the market with several distinctive features that integrate interior and exterior elements. The master cabin is thoughtfully located, offering direct access to the water and beach club, a characteristic attributed to the proximity of the electric drive. This design ensures calm and quiet operation, providing the owner with a peaceful and undisturbed experience on board.
The boat's design philosophy extends to the multi-level yet open main deck, where connectivity and spaciousness have been considered. Exterior glazing with a unique diamond pattern, along with expansive mullion-less windows, creates an airy atmosphere, connecting passengers to the natural surroundings.
"While eco-friendly yachting is still a niche, progress toward cleaner technologies is inevitable. The speed of this change depends on our daily efforts and commitment to
a greener future. Sialia 80 Explorer is designed to redefine exploration and sustainability; to thrive in a variety of environmental conditions, travelling to some of the world's most remote locations in silence and with minimal environmental impact" says Stanislav Szadkowski, Co-founder and CEO of Sialia Yachts.
