2024 Restoration

Silvio had been in the care of the Boscawen family for nearly 65 years, a rare continuity in the world of private yachts. When the time came for her to pass to new hands, it was not done lightly. Her next custodian was carefully chosen. A full restoration schedule was submitted and approved, not as a formality, but as a gesture of respect for the family and for her history.

After being laid up ashore since 2017, Silvio began her restoration in April 2024.

A full ultrasonic hull survey was carried out at six-inch intervals, guiding the careful replacement of steel plating. Where material was renewed, it was done to match the original thickness, a direct continuation of Robert Clark’s intentions. Large sections of hull were replaced, and the entire starboard side deck replaced. The coach house roof and deck repainted in sand beige and a international white, a return to her clean, purposeful aesthetic.

Silvio was relaunched in under a year on 3 March 2025.
