Offering a hull with different deck superstructures is a practical idea, as the underwater hull and the drive technology only have to be developed once. For the Sialia 45, this means that there is a runabout, sports and weekender version.
The runabout version has a low windscreen and an open deck layout. A T-top sits enthroned above the driving position (centre console) of the sports version and protects the passengers from above. The Weekender version also has complete side glazing and can also be closed aft. This space can then be equipped with air conditioning and/or heating to ensure a high level of comfort for a wide variety of cruising areas and seasons.
The 45 is characterised by well thought-out and appealing layout options for the lower deck. Owners can choose between different combinations of cabins located amidships, a fully-fledged toilet with shower and a comfortable lower galley or an inviting saloon. Thanks to a variety of styles and equipment options, the Sialia can be customised to the owner's wishes.
Numerous equipment options are available on deck, including spacious deck areas and sun loungers in both the stern and bow. There is also a choice of different configurations for the helm seats. All these features are designed to maximise the crew's enjoyment of a day or weekend on the water.
The propulsion system is also very special: the Sialia 45 is powered by two 300 kW electric motors, which accelerate the boat to over 40 knots according to the shipyard. When cruising at 25 knots, the range with the standard, self-developed 500 kWh battery pack is 55 nautical miles. If you order the additional 200 kWh package, you can even travel 77 nautical miles. It is possible to order a 140 kW range extender (suitable for biodiesel) to extend the range to 142 or 164 nautical miles.
In addition, the fast-charging function allows the batteries to be charged from 10 % to 90 % in just three hours, so you no longer have to worry about range or restrict your travel plans just because the skipper wants to go faster. The Sialia 45 will be launched on the market in summer 2025.
