Revolution Marine Group and Silent Escapes have revealed a groundbreaking sustainable yacht financing method: the Credit Linked Note (CLN) investment model, offered through the Swiss company GenTwo, which has surpassed USD 4 billion in assets under service.

This innovative model has been adopted by ultra-green real estate developer Silent Escapes in order to finance the purchase of two Revolution S60 solar-electric supported catamarans, which are set to be delivered to its resort in the Bahamas in early summer 2025 and early 2026.

Silent Escapes – the company behind the world’s first-ever radically sustainable, 100% solar powered resort in the Bahamas – has joined forces with Revolution Marine Group, – representative of yacht manufacturers including Revolution Yachts, Canados Heritage, and CL Yachts – in a strategic partnership which will offer investors major financial returns and exclusive yacht charter benefits by harnessing this Swiss registered CLN investment model.

Boosting Eco-Luxury

The money raised by Silent Escapes will be used to acquire two brand new solar-electric Revolution S60 catamarans from Revolution Marine Group, which represents Revolution Yachts worldwide. The state-of-the-art 6o-foot, four-cabin luxury catamarans will provide silent, emissions-free cruising throughout the Caribbean and incorporate an additional element of eco-luxury to those enjoying Silent Escapes’ stunning Marina Point residences.

These ultra-sustainable yachts will generate revenue through membership fees, which are included in Silent Escapes’ real estate sales, and will also be used for both commercial charter and promotional activities.

For prospective investors, each property purchase at Silent Escapes will include a yacht membership in an expanding fleet of solar-supported electric luxury catamarans, offering annual cruises to the world’s most exclusive destinations. The solar residences themselves are extraordinary – handcrafted at Silent Escapes’ Belize factory, they are true works of art built from sustainably-sourced tropical hardwood which are also carbon negative.

Major Savings for Owners

Whether owners opt for whole or co-ownership of their solar powered units, they will have access to seven-year membership in the Revolution 60 Yacht Club, providing them with a no-cost booking and just an all-inclusive fee of $1,250 per person per week to pay. This is the equivalent of paying just $10,000 for a $64,000 retail value 1-week cruise for eight guests.

This collaboration with Revolution Marine Group enables Silent Escapes to seamlessly integrate sustainable island living with the best in eco-friendly yachting. By combining its 100% solar-powered residences with exclusive access to a fleet of solar-electric luxury yachts, owners will be able to enjoy annual private yacht charters or reserve cabins on a shared charter with other members.

Furthermore, through this partnership, Silent Escapes’ members and investors will also benefit from the seamless logistics provided by Revolution Marine Group, who provide expert yacht management, operations and charter services from their Ft. Lauderdale headquarters and European sales offices.

Exclusive Benefits for Investors

As well as offering a highly safe and secure investment opportunity, investors in the CLN financing model would enjoy a plethora of exclusive benefits including:

• Swiss-Registered Credit Linked Note (CLN) with Global Investment Access (ISIN code: CH1408701055) offered through the Swiss company GenTwo.
• 25% annual return over a two-year term.
• Additional benefits for investing over $250,000.
• Luxury yachting experiences – free all-inclusive charters for qualified investors.
• Real estate investment flexibility – investment credits toward Silent Escapes properties.
• Sustainability-focused assets, secured by high-value solar-electric yachts and 100% solar powered waterfront residences.

Notably too, the CLN can be bought via any bank by simply providing them with the ISIN code.

Ed Sacks, CEO of Revolution Marine Group commented: “We are delighted to be joining forces with Silent Escapes. By combining cutting-edge solar-electric technology, high-end luxury design and eco-conscious investment models, we are excited to be setting a new benchmark for sustainable land and sea tourism.”

Victor Barrett, CEO of Silent Escapes, adds: “We are raising funds through an innovative new approach that allows investors to purchase investment certificates directly from their bank. It’s similar to crowdfunding but with enhanced investor protection and the flexibility to sell the investment certificate before maturity. This model combines the best of both worlds—the simplicity of crowdfunding with the security and professionalism of a regulated financial instrument.”
