Silver Arrows 460GT: “Sensual Purity on the Water”

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

Silver Arrows Marine just introduced their super-sleek new 460GT, developed in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, at the Palma boat show in Spain. The new luxury yacht, made to look, and perform, like a Mercedes sports car, is made by Baltic Yachts in Finland. Silver Arrows, in the UK, has a license with Mercedes to develop Mercedes-style yachts.

Silver Arrows says the 460 Granturismo combines the performance of Mercedes sports cars with innovations from the boating industry. They call it a crossover boat, combining the advantages of an open boat with those of an overnight cruiser.

Ron Gibbs, the chairman of Silver Arrows, says, “Almost everything about the Arrow460 Granturismo is unique, from its concept to the smallest bespoke detail.”

Silver Arrows says their aim “is not just to set a new standard of motor yacht but to challenge all conventions in all areas of yacht building, design, development, partnerships, construction and selling.”

For his part, Gorden Wagenr, VP, Design, of Mercedes-Benz, says, “The yacht embodies the Mercedes-Benz’s progressive, dynamic design philosophy of sensual purity on the water.”

The exterior of the low-slung 460 has shimmering silver glazing, while the huge, aft-swept windshield can be opened for fresh air in the interior. The large side windows are retractable. The captain, and a mate, have raised seats at the aft end of the cabin top. The yacht can hold 10 passengers.

We don’t have other details about the Arrow460, but the company also is building an open Cabrio model.

Specs.: LOA: 46’6”; Beam: 13’3”; Draft: 3’1”; Disp.: NA; Fuel: 200 gals.; Water: 62 gals.; Power: NA.
