Introducing 
Victor Barrett, CEO

Born in Boston Massachusetts, USA and graduating in 1980 with a degree in Architectural Engineering, Victor Barrett started his architectural and technology firm with a focus on mixed use, sustainable, walkable, and human scale development while embracing the emerging new CAD and visualization technologies. In 2008, Victor sold his architectural firm and moved to China where he worked on large scale new town developments and introduced badly needed sustainable urban planning concepts to Chinese development.

Vision & Philosophy

Over the past 15 years Victor has lived and worked in Mauritius, Belize, The Caribbean Islands and Indonesia. It was working in these remote, pristine tropical environments that Victor was inspired by the possibility of combining luxury island real estate and yachting into a unique and ultra sustainable offering.

With the advancement of solar, water, and wastewater technologies, 100% electric/zero carbon island development became possible. And then with the announcement in 2019 of the first solar electric yachts coming to market, Victor saw the opportunity to create truly sustainable island living and yachting destination. He renamed his Mauritius based design and development company to Silent Escapes.

 

During the disruptions of the Corona pandemic, Victor moved to Austria in 2020, where he is based and travels to his growing list of project locations including the Bahamas, Belize, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, Fiji, and Palawan Philippines.

With the successful launch of the Bahamas location, extensive investment and keen investor interest, along with the rapid advancement in the solar electric yachting industry beyond the initial Silent Yachts offering, Silent Escapes is moving to expand its electric yacht partners to include SunReef, Fontaine Pajot, X-Shore, Candela, and others as this technology rapidly advances. With this paradigm shift, island development goes beyond the resort model and can now power entire island communities. With this paradigm shift, island development goes beyond the resort model and can now power entire island communities. Silent Escapes is embarking on a bigger mission… creating truly self sufficient and sustainable island destinations, where one can live, work, play, and rejuvenate while surrounded by the power of pristine nature and natural silence.

Victor has realized this is an extraordinary opportunity to engage global interest in the Silent Escapes development philosophy and combine technology and nature to create development that is not only zero carbon operations on land and sea, but also truly carbon negative… actively removing more greenhouse emissions than it produces. This has attracted the attention of private and public organizations who have realized the great potential for Silent Escapes to not only create real local economic value for island nations, but to also Empower Nature to restore and repair, to fund ocean conservation efforts, and create carbon sequestration partnerships that produce measurable results.
