SUNREEF "IPHARRA" WEBSITE ON LINE

"Ipharra" is a Sunreef 102 DD luxury catamaran available for charter. In her website you can read the story behind the creation of this amazing yacht. Her owner wanted to create a yacht to welcome and reward the rich and lucky students of his international boarding school in Switzerland, to welcome his family and friends and to put her in charter. 

SUNREEF SUCCESS BY THE NUMBERS

I went on Sunreef website and counted the luxury catamarans launched by size since the founding of the yard. 

Here are the results :

• Sunreef 58 : 3 
• 60 Sunreef Power : 1 just launched
• Sunreef 62 : 27 most successful so far
• Sunreef 70 : 8
• 70 Sunreef Power : 7 
• Sunreef 74 : 1
• Sunreef 82 : 1 just launched
• Sunreef 102 : 1
• Sunreef 114 : 1

 To those, you have to add 4 units that were kept secret to the owners request.  It is kind of odd to add the numbers since a Sunreef 58 is really much smaller than a Sunreef 114 but if you do it adds up to 54 catamarans which is a lot since the first in 2003.  But the most impressive is the size of the catamarans which has really increased. 

Congratulations to their team.

For immediate release,

Sunreef Yachts to unveil its first superyacht, the Sunreef 102 Double Deck IPHARRA and other news projects, at the Cannes International Boat Show 2010

Gdansk, Poland –

SUNREEF 102 DOUBLE DECK IPHARRA

Sunreef Yachts is delighted to confirm that this year's edition of the Cannes International Boat Show held from 8 to 13 September 2010 will see the worldwide premiere of the Sunreef 102 Double Deck IPHARRA – the first double deck sailing catamaran in the world. She is also the second biggest sloop rigged catamaran of the world.

The double deck concept was created especially for clients wanting to achieve extreme comfort with maximum space on deck. The characteristic feature of each Sunreef double decker is the additional, full-beam cabin in the front, with the panoramic view to the sea obtained thanks to the mast fitted on the enlarged flybridge.

Commissioned in 2008 and launched in April 2010 IPHARRA, is a luxury a charter superyacht available for charters in the Caribbean this winter. For this purposes, the yacht will accommodate up to 12 guests and 4/5 crew.

According to the Sunreef philosophy, the interior design and layout arrangement have been totally submitted to the owner's suggestions who wished to obtain a practical vessel with many storage places ensuring the highest level of navigation autonomy. The huge outdoor space represents an important area of the yacht. Passengers have a choice of staying in the shade of the 50m2 cockpit or can enjoy sunbathing on the 50m² flybridge and bow nets. In the cockpit, there is a long sofa and table to ensure comfortable alfresco dining and relaxing moments for 10-12 guests. In the evening, a “starry sky” effect will be ensured thanks to the colourful yet discrete LED lights in the ceiling. The fly is supplied with a fully equipped bar and dining area for twelve people along with deck chairs to relax while sunbathing.

70 SUNREEF POWER DAMRAK

DAMRAK was introduced to the world during last year's edition of the show as an example of the 70 Sunreef Power. Launched in 2008, the 70 Sunreef Power is the first motor yacht from the Sunreef power range. The yacht's elegant topside, extended interior and exterior space along with its stability, safety, long cruising range with low fuel consumption maintained makes it an ideal vessel for charters, luxury private holidays or long-term travels around the world. With its totally customized design and finish according to the Client's wishes, this yacht model can be made in Exclusive version featuring a Jacuzzi and second navigation station on the fly, powerful engines, rich and modern interior design, state-of-the-art electronics on board and many other fancy gadgets. For Clients wanting to perform long travels aboard their yachts and discover the world's most remote and wild places, the 70 Sunreef Power can be converted into an Expedition yacht with underwater bulbs, green features such as solar panels or wind generators, without losing anything of its luxurious and customized finish. Until now, Sunreef Yachts has built 3 units in Exclusive version and 2 hulls in Expedition version.

Visits of both yachts upon previous reservation only! Cannes, Vieux Port, Jetee Pantiero, MTC 107 bis– Sunreef last year position.

NEW YACHT MODELS FOR 2011

• Sunreef 80 Ultimate – new range of sporty and high-performance cats

In 2010 Sunreef Yachts has introduced a sophisticated design line of ultra-modern and high-performance sailing catamarans with green appliances a magnificent example of which is the Sunreef 80 ULTIMATE. The Sunreef 80 Ultimate carbon fibre yacht has thin and sleek marine hulls with reversed bow and integrated stepped hull chins which is essential for the yacht's high performance. The superstructure will be shorter and more minimalist than on a conventional leisure catamaran which will add to the boat's lightness and streamlined look. The flybridge is an option here as the height of the boat decides on the level of air resistance. Both hulls and entire forward section of the superstructure will be covered by glass panels which will make this vessel luminous and provide the guests with breathtaking and delightful views. An alternative option for the hull are solar panels providing the yacht with natural solar energy that can be connected to the water heating system. Two vertical retractable wind generators will be installed on each hull as well. The mast will be moved back to the middle of the boat which will contributes to achieving the most optimal balance, thus giving the ultimate navigation comfort. The sail plan is adequately calculated to reach the top speeds of 20 + knots. Internal space will depend on the Client's preferences, according to the “custom finish philosophy” at Sunreef. Two options are possible: leaving the saloon as an open, undivided space, or accommodating it with the galley, dinning and lounge. In both scenarios, the owner suite will be located on the main level in the forward section. It will have a stunning, uncovered view over the sea through the vast glass wall and sliding doors giving access to the private outdoor loggia with spa pool, bar and lounge. The guest cabins and crew quarters will be placed down the hulls. Launching scheduled: 2012

• 60 Sunreef Power – second power model to be built

The 60 Sunreef Power is the response to the demand for more compact, yet still highly impressive powerboats. This yacht has all the features of the popular 70 Sunreef Power, but with a 26 feet / 8 meter beam it is more convenient for crowded marinas and the owners wanting to operate their yacht independently without the crew.

Strong points:

Construction: High Tech Composites

Range: 4000 nautical miles

Cruising speed: 20 knots

Top Speed: 25 knots

Living area: 118 m2/ 387 square feet

Berths: 8-10

Delivery:2011

Design: Sunreef custom made finish

• !!!Big surprise for the beginning of 2011!!!

Sunreef Yachts is now building moulds of a new crusisng catamaran in range 50-60 feet to be launched on water in the beginning of the 2011. This will be a big surprise of the show fully unveiled during the event!

SUNREEF 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Cut and Copy of Sunreef's latest press release.

6 May 2009,

Gdańsk, Poland - The Polish marine success story, Sunreef Yachts, www.sunreef-yachts.com, based in Gdańsk begins its twelfth year of trading with positive financial results and high expectations for its continued steady growth as it builds its reputation as the global leader in luxury catamarans, both power and sail, as well as multihull superyachts.

Sunreef was established in 1998 as a charter company and then began producing yachts in 2000 in a Gdańsk shipyard. The company delivered its first catamaran, the Sunreef 74 CHE, two years later in 2002 and has since seen sales and operating profit grow consistently along with its range of products and services.

Sunreef’s in-house charter agency, Sunreef Yachts Charter, www.sunreef-charter.com, now has over 1700 yachts in its fleet as its own 2009 net sales rose from €2.3 million; representing 30 per cent growth in comparison to 2008. Moreover, 50 per cent increase is expected in 2010. This success was possible thanks to the largest rental selection of luxury catamarans in the world, as well as from last year's admission to MYBA and its comprehensive database.

‘‘Our success to date comes from our focus on innovation and from our extended range of produced yachts,” says Nicolas Lapp, Sunreef's vice president, ‘‘In 2008, we launched two new yacht models, the 70 Sunreef Power and the Sunreef 70 Sailing that have already been sold in several units. This year, we have just launched our first superyacht Sunreef 102 Double Deck IPHARRA. The second mega catamaran, the Sunreef 114 CHE is now being finished at the shipyard with its delivery scheduled for the end of May 2010. We have also redesigned our flagship yacht, the Sunreef 62 Sailing, the new version of which is currently under construction and whose first unit will be launched at the beginning 2011. At the same time, we are now designing new, performant catamarans range over 80 feet in length with the first Sunreef 80 Ultimate designed for a client”.

Sunreef Yachts is actually comprised of three business units: building – Sunreef Yachts, chartering – Sunreef Yachts Charter and Yacht Management employing 450 workmen and employees, the workforce keep constantly growing at this time. In addition to its production and headquarter activities in Poland, the company has worldwide brokers network in Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, Qatar, India, Australia, USA and China, to name but a few.

From 2008 to 2009, Sunreef’s turnover from production increased from €27.6 to €28.1 million with expectations for 2010 that this will stay on the same level as annual deliveries of bigger boats 70ft+ should reach 10 units and new superyachts should be commissioned after the sea trials of the 102-footer.

Despite a challenging labour market in Poland, this accelerating production rate was achieved by optimising production techniques which, for example, have reduced production time for Sunreef’s most popular model, the Sunreef 62, from 9 to 5 months thanks to the Vacuum Infusion process. In addition, in 2009, the shipyard introduced Lean Manufacturing into its structure, thereby improving the quality of every stage of its production and reduced to a minimum all material and time losses.

As for Yacht Management services which was introduced as early as in 2008, the department has generated an income of €81 thousand and forecasts 30 per cent growth in 2010.
Sunreef is also increasing its overall production capacity with the acquisition of 16 hectares of land in the nearby Gdańsk Wiślinka for the construction of a new 24,000 square metre purpose-built manufacturing facility with possible enlargement capacity, due for completion and occupancy in 2011/12. This facility will enable Sunreef to build yachts up to 50 metres in length.

One of the significant investments for 2010 will be the construction of moulds for the 60 Sunreef Power and the Bluereef 87, two new yacht models scheduled for 2011.

The Management’s forecast for the coming years is also promising, if slightly more modest, taking into account the uncertain world financial situation. Sunreef’s financial plan for 2010 budgets for a 15 per cent growth in sales in 2009.

To provide its clients with a full range of support services, Sunreef has also established its after-sales service, refit and Brokerage Division which now has more than 800 yachts in its data base.

‘‘Our goal for the future is quite simply to maintain our position as the world’s largest manufacturer of large and luxury catamarans from 60 to 200 feet,” concluded Lapp.

IPHARRA SUNREEF 102 DOUBLE DECK IS LAUNCHED - GREAT VIDEO

SUNREEF LAUNCHING OF THE LATEST EXPEDITION SUNREEF POWER 70 AND SUNREEF 102 DD

SUNREEF recently launched "Ondin" a Sunreef 70 power for a private owner from Chile. This new SUNREEF benefits from the experience of the yard with Laurent Bourgnon's "Jumbo". Today is also supposed to be the launching date of the largest Sunreef up to date the SUNREEF 102 DD. I'll keep you updated.

After the worldwide success of the first power catamaran by Sunreef, the famous JAMBO expedition boat custom built for Laurent Bourgnon and his family, Sunreef Yachts is pleased to confirm that the Expedition version of the 70 Sunreef Power has charmed many more yacht travellers and true boaters who wish to follow similar adventures.

The owners of ONDIN coming from Chile made their first appearance at the Cannes International Boat Show in 2008, where the première of the Expedition power catamaran was held. They decided to go for a power catamaran appreciating the long range, very low fuel consumption and comfortable cruising thanks to its spaciousness and stability and Sunreef "custom finish" philosopy.

ONDIN has been purpose-built for long travelling around Southern America, especially Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, which was a big dream of her owners. The yacht's accomodation and partially covered flybridge, as well as underwater bulbs (like on JAMBO) make her a comfortable cruising and explorator vessel. The yacht will now cruise straight towards Central America and cross the Panama Channel from where she will cruise down to Chile.

4 YEARS ANNIVERSARY STILL GROWING STRONG

Today, the luxury catamaran blog is blowing 4 candles.
2010 the year of the big launches.

What amazes me with my blog is that the number of connections is still growing. Here is the chart for the last 4 years.

Thanks to all of you readers.
It has been quite hard the latest weeks to keep up with the blog for two reasons :

• first, I am really busy with my PR activity
  
• second, the information is harder and harder to find. New projects are less numerous than last year for example.
  

So please if you are in the industry, do not hesitate to send me your information.

This is paradoxical since this year will be the very big luxury catamaran year with the launching of 9 super catamarans over 90 feet :

- HEMISPHERE, the 145 VPLP built at Derecktor and finished at Pendennis.
- PROUT PT 138, a huge trimaran built in composite in China.
- SUNREEF 114, the largest Sunreef built in Aluminium at the yard in Poland for the previous owner of the Sunreef 74 "CHE".
- SUNREEF 102 DD, a big year for the yard, which was scheduled to be launched in a couple of days, can't wait to see the pictures.
- VPLP 110, built at the JFA shipard in France on America's Cup Winner VPLP drawings.
- BLUE COAST 95, designed by Jean Jacques Coste and built by H2X for Megacatamaran due to be launched this summer and exhibited at the Cannes Boat Show.
- GUNBOAT 90, built in South Africa by Gunboat and designed by Morelli and Melvin
- YOUNG 90, built in Tunisia and actually being finished in Italy designed by Greg Young.

So stay tuned, send your comments and information, lots to be published by the end of the year.

THE SUNREEF 102 DD AND SUNREEF 114 ARE WELL ADVANCED, THE SUNREEF 70 DAMRAK AT THE MONACO YACHT SHOW

This it the 200 th post on the luxurycatamaran blog and it is dedicated to an update on SUNREEF activity. I have no business links with the yard but It happen to be that first they are very active in promoting their activity and they have a lot of news to publish and second I think that Ewa their PR manager is doing a great job and has always been helpful with me and editors of magazinestrying to gather information for their publications. It is always a great pleasure and it makes our job more fun and easier when PR managers answer fast and precisely to our inquiries. I look forward to meet with her again in Cannes and visit the SUNREEF lives. I will post my own pictures after the show.

SUNREEF 102 DD

The first superyacht to be launched by Sunreef is on the last stage of the construction process. All interiors are now being finished and fitted out, the majority of the furniture is already in place and the electrical systems and the plumbery have now been installed. The hulls will shortly be painted in a light grey colour. This week, the installation of the propulsion system in both engine rooms will start, followed by the installation of twin Cummins engines. The launch is scheduled for the end of September 2009, after which the carbon mast and boom will be set up on the superstructure.

SUNREEF 114

The entire aluminium superstructure has already been finished and straightened. The installation of all technical systems below decks is now in due course and the flooring is now being posed. The installation of the sound and thermal insulation of all cabins is now proceeding and the fairing of the hulls has already started. Simultaneously, all the furniture is being assembled in the in-house carpentry department and waiting to be fitted. The carbon bowsprit, cross beam and boom are now being fabricated in-house via the vacuum infusion process and the 43 meter carbon mast is now being finished.

SUNREEF 70 DAMRAK IN MONACO

Damrak is a custom-made 5-cabin luxury catamaran for 8 - 12 guests. The impressive full-beam master cabin with over 180-degree view through the bow-facing windows, includes a large en-suite bathroom with separate shower in one hull and dressing room in the other. There are also generous-sized 2 queen cabins, and 1 twin cabin - convertible into queen - all with en-suite bathrooms. The salon with galley, equipped with high-end Bose home cinema and 40' plasma screen, with large dining table is the perfect place for entertaining guests and enjoying all yachts luxuries. The full-beam enormous flybridge shaded by the bimini includes jacuzzi flanked with sunbeds, bar and a large dining table. The Damrak's interior is a great example of a modern, elegant and clean style with wenge veneer furniture and light-beige alcantara upholstery. To top it all off, the many portlights and hatches make her a very lucid and well-ventilated vessel. The recreation equipment includes jet tender with 125 hp engine, 2 Seabob underwater scooters and full diving equipment, making her the perfect charter luxury catamaran. Damrak is available in the West Mediterranean this summer and in the Caribbean this winter season through Sunreef Yachts Charter.

I hope all of you still enjoy reading the blog and do not hesitate to leavers messages.

MONACO YACHT SHOW SPECIAL

After Cannes lets take a look at the Monaco Yacht Show which will take place in Monaco from the 23 rd to the 26 th of September. Who will be there ? (most of the information is already in the blog so click on the links to know more about each project).

BERRET RACOUPEAU YACHT DESIGN

Olivier and his team will introduce their latest designs including a 90 footer aluminium luxury catamaran "LA SELLA DEL DIAVOLO" which has just been launched in Italy and of course their eco-smart 100 foot CODE [E]. Olivier has developed within his design office a special research and development department to study the most innovative eco-friendly solutions for luxury sailboats.

JFA


JFA is actually building the largest all composite catamaran a 110 foot on VPLP drawings. I am really waiting to hear more about this beautiful catamaran but very little information is coming out of the shipyard.

SUNREEF

The new SUNREEF 90 DD

SUNREEF is actually building a SUNREEF 102 DD which will be launched this winter and SUNREEF 114 which will be launched next January. To late for this year yacht show but hopefully we can see one of them for Monaco in 2010. SUNREEF will also introduced the new SUNREEF 90 Double Deck with an innovative mezzanine in the saloon and the breathtaking 150 by SUNREEF. I would really like SUNREEF to find a buyer for this concept which is really different from the other designs. If there is one place to find a rich and new design attracted client it is Monaco indeed.

VPLP

The VPLP design office has created the largest sailing catamaran to date with DOUCE FRANCE a 138 footer and HEMISPHERE, the largest ever catamaran which is still at the DERECKTOR shipyard due to legal issues between the owner and the yard. Too bad, this catamaran was really expected. The design office has drawn many other project for very large catamaran which they will introduce during the show.

SUNREEF AGAIN - The company just released its yearly financial results in 2009. It continues to grow at a very generous pace and enlarges its production facilities.

SUNREEF YACHTS RELEASES YEARLY FINANCIAL RESULTS 2009

1 April 2009,

For immediate release,

The Polish marine success story, Sunreef Yachts, www.sunreef-yachts.com, based in Gdansk begins its eleventh year of trading with positive historical results and expectations for continued strong growth as it builds on its reputatation as the global leader in luxury catamarans, both power and sail.

Sunreef was established in 1998 as a charter company and then began producing yachts in 2000 in a Gdansk shipyard. The company delivered its first catamaran, the Sunreef 74 CHE, two years later in 2002 and since has seen sales and operating profit grow consistently along with its range of products and services.

Sunreef’s in-house charter agency, Sunreef Yachts Charter www.sunreef-charter.com, now has more than 1000 yachts in its fleet as its own 2008 net sales rose through €1.8 million with a 30 per cent increase expected in 2009.

‘‘Our success to date comes from our focus on innovation and by extending the range of yachts we produce,” says Nicolas Lapp, Sunreef's vice president, ‘‘In 2008 we have launched two new yacht models, 70 Sunreef Power and Sunreef 70 Sailing. This year, we will launch our first superyacht Sunreef 102 Double Deck. At the same time, we are now designing new mega catamarans projects over 100 feet”.

Sunreef Yachts is actually comprised of three business units: building – Sunreef Yachts, chartering – Sunreef Yachts Charter and Yacht Management employing 450 worksmen and employees, the workforce keep constantly growing at this time. In addition to its production and headquarters activities in Poland, the company has worldwide brokers network in Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, Qatar, USA and China to name but a few

From 2007 to 2008 Sunreef’s net income from production and services increased 40% from €19,6 million to €27,6 million with expectations for 2009 that this will continue to €33,6 million as annual deliveries pass 12 with 18 scheduled for 2009.

Despite a challenging labour market in Poland, this accelerating production rate was achieved by optimising production techniques which for example reduced production time for Sunreef’s most popular model, the Sunreef 62, from 9 to 4 months.

Sunreef is also increasing overall production capacity with the acquision of 16 hectares land in nearby Gdańsk Wiślinka for the construction of a new 24,000 square metre purpose-built manufacturing facilities with possible enlargement due for completion and occupancy in 2010. This facility will enable Sunreef to build yachts up to 50 meters in length.

Management’s forecast for the coming years is likewise very promising, if slightly more modest taking into account the uncertain world financial situation. Sunreef’s financial plan for 2009 budgets for a 25per cent growth in sales on 2008.

To provide its clients with a full range of support services, Sunreef has also established its after-sales service, refit and Brokerage Division which now has more than 800 yachts in its data base.

‘‘Our goal for the future is quite simply to maintain our position as the world’s largest manufacturer of large and luxury catamarans from 60 to 150 feet,” concluded Lapp.

The lounge has an elegant bar with a staircase leading to the galley and guest cabins within the hulls, and also to the second helm station located on the mezzanine floor. From here you access the owners’ cabin (owner version), or two guest cabins (semi-owner or charter version). These cabins are situated in the forward section of the catamaran and thus offer wonderful sea views.

SUNREEF 70 SEAZEN II – FIRST SAILING 70 FOOTER BY SUNREEF

Exceptionally spacious and wide, with new layout arrangement, this modern catamaran can easily accommodate 8 to 10 guests in 3 double cabins and 1 cabin with innovative four folding beds system - excellent solution for children.
The exterior outlines have been carefully worked out by Sunreef in-house design team in order to make the yacht look smooth and elegant. The boat is very aerodynamic and her external forms are highly streamlined. The outdoor playing space has been purpose-designed for charter activities. The yacht can easily accomodate a jacuzzi on the flybridge and has enough space to fit a jet ski on the aft. This unit in particular will have two dinghies, the smaller one of 2.8 m and a bigger one of 4.5m.
Especially requested by the Owner, the yacht will represent Japanese style, the essential aspect of which is the simplicity and minimalism. Frugal forms are kept in brown and cream with touches of muffled red. Visible structural geometry is achieved by the combination of the traditional layout of Tatami mats and decorative elements imitating indigenous Shoji screens and sliding doors. The overall scheme is accentuated by the horizontal line of arranging the furniture: low-level tables and bar, surrounded by separate sitting cushions placed in wooden frames, platform-like simple beds. Sparse and carefully selected decorations greatly replenish this posh, yet minimalistic interior.

SUNREEF 102 DOUBLE DECK – First superyacht by Sunreef

Designed by Sunreef’s inhouse design team the sloop-rigged yacht is the largest catamaran manufactured by Sunreef Shipyard and will be one of the few in the world of that size.
The yacht’s interior design will be fully customised in close cooperation between the european owner and the Sunreef team who has requested that she be ‘‘cosy, comfortable and homey’’, dominated by contrasting dark and light wenge and anegre wood and a classic Sunreef touch.
The interior style of Sunreef 102 will mostly modern with some classic elements of decoration. There are two types of wood used for the cabines – the dark WENGE wood and the light ANEGRE. This blend of colours creates a strong contrast dark/light and allows the Sunreef Design Team to highlight the geometric composition of the furnitures. Trapezoid, square and cube forms are easily reckognizable in the main outlines (furniture, wall shapes, windows, doors, etc.) and in many decoration details such us handles, lamps, table legs, etc.
The original upholstery of Skai Elitis will guarantee the effect of chests board and will certainly be an interesting feature on board.
Generally, beside the wenge and anegre wood, the different types of skai will be applied on the walls and ceiling, all in beige, ivory and cream colours which will create the ambience of harmony and balance of this carefully designed interiors. The main lighting system will consist of a set of fitted on each side halogens reflecting from matt surfaces and only few of them will be installed directly on the ceiling.
The innovative element will certainly be a double deck, the original Sunreef concept, ensuring much more comfort and space for the guests.

ONE FIFTY by SUNREEF

Sunreef Yachts introduces the biggest Sunreef yacht and the biggest luxury catamaran in the world to date.

A press release from Sunreef. Thanks Ewa.

26 June 2008,

Gdansk, Poland - With two superyachts, the Sunreef 102 Double Deck and the Sunreef 114, already under construction, Sunreef Yachts announces its latest design, the 150 foot ONE FIFTY by Sunreef coming in response to what the company sees as a continuing demand for the special combination of luxury and performance offered uniquely by a catamaran.

‘‘Over the years we’ve seen an increasing interest in bigger luxury cats and have been expanding our range incrementally to accomodate that,’’ said Nicolas Lapp, Sunreef vice-president, ‘‘The ONE FIFTY is now a quantum leap reflecting our customers enquries.”

Developed by Sunreef’s own in-house design team, the ONE FIFTY design is unique from other yachts in Sunreef fleet not only in size but also in appearance.

The futurist look of the ONE FIFTY as a result of meticulous research of the latest trends and styles in exterior design. Externally, the concept was for a modern, sweeping, sleek topside which blends into the curve of the hulls resulting in flat surfaces that accomodate solar panels as an alternative cheap and green source of energy or are covered by uncut, continously applied teak in keeping with the sleek lines.

The main deck features a spacious covered area spread over two levels spanning the entire beam (over 17 meters) with sloping deck leading up to the giant flybridge and navigation station just aft of the 55 metre carbon-fibre mast. The boom doubles as a crane for the rescue boat or for a large tender to be stowed out of sight, aft of the engine room.

In a break with tradition, the cockpit, which is sheltered by a sunroof, has been moved forward and equipped with sunbeds, a dining table seating twelve as well as comfortable informal seating on cushions and wicker armchairs. Despite the unique location, the cockpit will be accessible from both the flybridge via an open staircase and from salon/staterooms via two doors.

Below decks, twelve guests can be accomodated comfortably in six double staterooms located on the main deck forward and in the starboard hull. Crew quarters for eight are segregated in the opposite hull. A special lift will connect serve the galley on the upper deck and the crew quarters and store rooms below.

A large salon with a lounge bar and the dining room have panoramic views with a decor and layout that emphasises open space and natural light. A large TV screen of up to 80 inches can be mounted for both salon and lounge area. Inside the impressive mast is left exposed as a surprising aesthetic feature in the centre of the space.

To enable the crew to operate the yacht efficiently, access throughout the ONE FIFTY for crew and guests has been carefully both parties separated. Access for guests is aft via large glass doors while the crew enter directly from the hull by a passerelle.
