Sunreef Yachts Announces Spectacular Presence at the Cannes International Boat Show 2013

Established in 2002 by Francis Lapp, Sunreef Yachts has consequently grown to its current, strong position of the leading designer and builder of luxury sailing and power catamarans and catamaran-superyachts from 60 to 200 feet in the world.

In 2013 Sunreef Yachts will have no less than 6 yachts, the first ever such important Sunreef yachts gathering, on display with 2 world premieres: the superyacht Sunreef 80 Sailing LEVANTE and a new concept of a sailing catamaran, Sunreef 60 LOFT.

The new Sunreef 80 Sailing is a concept based on light displacement, performance and speed. Commissioned by a European owner, the Sunreef 80 is made of an advanced composite sandwich combining vinylester, PVC foam and carbon/glass fibre, with a carbon mast and boom, standing rigging with Kevlar and total sail area of 340 m², weighing just 45T lightship and 60T fully loaded. The sleek and sporty exterior line was designed carefully to reduce windage and water resistance.
 

The 2nd world premiere is the new concept of 60 footer, the Sunreef 60 LOFT, a ready- to- sail, luxury yacht with comfortable accommodation for 6 guests. Fully equipped open galley with both Siemens and Gorenje appliances is located in the portside hull, directly connected with the saloon. The cockpit and the saloon are both located on the same level and connected with a large sliding door which enhances the impression of one, seamless space. Actually two units of this new concept have already been sold, only two months after its presentation in spring this year.

In addition, the shipyard will exhibit its first poweryacht, the 60 Sunreef Power LILU YACHT equipped with the innovative IPS system allowing this imposing yacht easy maneuvering in tide marinas and side docking. Moreover, the system helps to be even more efficient on the fuel consumption side and increases maximum speed adding 2 knots.


Fourth yacht on display was launched in April 2013. The Sunreef 70 MAVERICK is the 12th unit of an extremely popular Sunreef 70 Sailing. Distinctively different, this superb modern catamaran features an ultra-sleek profile, flawless interior design, exceptional amenities, and the latest in entertainment technology.

Another big presence will be ensured by the superyacht HOUBARA. The Sunreef 82 Double Deck will be again the biggest unit on Sunreef Yachts display this year. Presented last year in Cannes, HOUBARA accommodates up to 7 guests in one beam-wide owner suite, one VIP queen cabin and one guest twin cabin convertible to a double cabin with an additional Pullman bed, attended by two crew.

 

On the power side, besides the 60 Sunreef Power, Sunreef will showcase again its extremely popular 70 Sunreef introduced in 2008. This yacht model attracts many motoryacht enthusiasts thanks to its stability and subsequently the comfort in cruising, an extended living and storage space thanks to its large beam, superb exterior space, and oceanic range combined with very low fuel consumption and all that in keeping with Sunreef’s customized design.

Both of them MAVERICK and LEVANTE are available for charters with Sunreef Yachts Charter.
The shipyard will also introduce more its new projects underway, the 90 Sunreef Power, the Trimaran 210 and the new sailing superyacht of 165ft.
 

SUNREEF IN ASIA AND THE HAINAN RENDEZ VOUS

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in all splendor at 2012 Festival de la Plaisance de Cannes, the SUNREEF YACHTS shipyard is quickly spreading wings all over the world. Headquartered in Poland, with a US office in Fort Lauderdale and a newly appointed China office in Shanghai give the company the possibility to assist clients in Europe, the Americas and Asia. After having ensured a consistent promotion in Europe and the US, the company has now decided to take a closer look into Asia and China in particular. SUNREEF YACHTS China, managed by Sunreef’s Ewa Stachurska, former PR and now Sales Director in China, operates already from Shanghai and supervise all Marketing and Sales in China and Hong Kong.

The Chinese division will take part at the incoming Hainan Rendezvous in Sanya in March 2013, at the China International Boat Show in Shanghai in April 2013 and the Hong Kong Gold Coast Boat Show in May 2013. All these shows except the Shanghai one will include the presentation of the new Sunreef 70 Sail FENG sold to a Chinese Client and scheduled for delivery in March 2013 after which it will be exhibited as a worldwide premiere at the HRDV 2013 in Sanya.
 


This superb, blood-red hulled luxury catamaran enchants with its subtle oriental interior design and a great performance in sailing, keeping with the spaciousness and stability of a catamaran. Sea trials and private events will be organized to help understand this still blossoming yachting market, the full potential for a catamaran-yacht. Furthermore, power catamarans range with the new 60 Sunreef Power and the successful 70 Sunreef Power will be another interesting product for the market where power boating still overwhelmingly exceeds sailing.
 


After a decade of a successful development in the world, especially in Europe and the Americas, the company judged necessary further expansion and this time towards Asia with a special stress on China and its immense potential. Certainly, this market is still immature and yachting is perceived more as a business-related activity helping to maintain professional relationships than pure pleasure or a hobby but it will pick up one day, and on that day Sunreef Yachts wants to make sure that all interested newly emerged enthusiasts will know what fantastic yachts the company has to offer. We can already observe an increasing interest in catamarans, and a curiosity towards a catamaran-yacht. Since the opening of the office, we have been receiving many inquiries about our yachts from potential clients, media and brokers. The actual presence in China brings an immediate increase of interest, Stachurska says.

Sunreef Yachts China office is located within most exclusive plaza in the central Shanghai, Puxi, the Plaza 66.

SUNREEF AT THE CANNES INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW - NEW BOATS

Gdansk, Poland – As every year, Sunreef Yachts will display its much-awaited news during the prestigious Cannes Boat Show in September 2012.

Celebrating its 10 years, the company will showcase two new Premiere Models: the 60 Sunreef Power EWHALA and the superyacht Sunreef 82 Double Deck HOUBARA. In addition, two famous and appreciated models: the 70 Sunreef Power SKYLARK (2012) and the Sunreef 70 Sailing ANINI (2011) will be exhibited as well, which means 4 yachts all together. That is the biggest yacht display for Sunreef Yachts in its history.

60 Sunreef Power - EWHALA

 

The 60 Sunreef Power was made in response to the growing demand for compact yet highly impressive powerboat. This yacht has all the features of the popular 70 Sunreef Power, except its 27.8 ft / 8.5 m beam that makes it more convenient for crowded marinas, especially in the Mediterranean. It is also an interesting alternative for traditional motoryachts with much lower fuel consumption, long range, superb living space with the best comfort and intimacy for the owner and his guests, customized interior design and stability.	EWHALA (launch end July)has been commissioned by a European owner, and is laid out in a semi-owner version with two double cabins in the forward section, two double cabins in the starboard hull, and one double, one bunk-bed cabin (for the crew) in the port hull. The interior of the main deck features the galley and a dining area, while a mezzanine floor located in the midship comprises internal helm station and lounge, providing access to the forward guest cabins.	The spacious sun deck, Sunreef’s speciality and trademark, accessible from the cockpit, houses external helm station, wet bar with barbecue, dining area and a huge sun pad, ideal for outdoor lounging in the sun. The innovative JMS boat control system by ZF Marine Electronics Group, allowing the boat to be easily maneuvered with a joystick, has been installed aboard EWHALA. The interior design is modern and minimalist, based on wenge and oak contrast, finished with gray and white upholstery and brushed stainless steel details.

82 Sunreef Double Deck - HOUBARA

 

The Sunreef 82 DD HOUBARA (launch end July) is the second double decker catamaran after IPHARRA. In this double deck concept there is one spacious owner cabin in the front, and a large and bright salon with an internal helm station with sea views. That is why this model is a perfect alternative to a traditional motoryacht which consumes tremendous amounts of fuel. The Double Deck catamarans have a chance to become superyachts of the future with their comfort on board and low fuel consumption resulting from its low draft and the possibi-	lity of cruising on sails in keeping with the maximum stability at all times. This private yacht accommodates up to 7 guests in one beam-wide owner suite, one VIP queen cabin and one guest twin cabin convertible to a double cabin with an additional Pullman bed, attended by two crew to assist the owner, a sailor himself. An innovative element aboard the Sunreef 82 DD is the smart mezzanine floor housing a coffee table within a lounge area located on the starboard side of the main deck within the dining area. There is also a purpose-built storage area for painting	equipment, as the owners enjoy this activity while sailing. The owner suite, arranged over two floors, is set to occupy the entire forward section of the yacht with a master cabin, Jacuzzi and vanity on the main deck, and wardrobe and floor-to-ceiling storage and bathroom located below decks in port and starboard hulls respectively. Interior design has been customised following the owners’ suggestions, and combines light and natural colours and materials finished in a classic style.

70 Sunreef Power - SKYLARK

 

 

Scheduled for launch in August 2012, SKYLARK is the hull nr 8 of the very successful yacht model, the 70 Sunreef Power, introduced in 2008. The yacht is laid out in the owner version with a beam-wide owner suite in the forward section and four double cabins in the hulls: one VIP and two double for the guests and one double for the crew. Beautiful interior design takes its inspiration from the superyacht Sunreef 114 CHE and mixes caramel bamboo wood with pearl gray upholstery, aquamarine table tops and decorative elements such as cushions and wall panels. General ambience is thus very relaxing and enjoyable.

Sunreef 70 - ANINI

 

Launched in November 2011, ANINI is the 7th unit of the Sunreef 70 Sailing successfully completed by the Sunreef Yachts shipyard. Sold to an American client for private use with some chartering activity, ANINI will spend the coming winter in southern Portugal before starting her Summer 2012 cruise in the Mediterranean, the sea that the owner wishes to explore	as much as possible. ANINI is arranged in the owner layout version with the master suite and one guest cabin in the portside hull and two guest (one with bunk beds) and one crew cabin in the starboard hull. The master suite includes a double bed with night tables, an extendable sofa, work desk, TV and DVD, and plenty of storage for long cruises.	ANINI’s interior design shows clear references to the Sunreef 114 CHE with the choice of caramel bamboo wood applied to all wooden furniture, door and window frames, and decorative ceiling panels. Turquoise sofas and armchairs with wall and ceiling panels complete the bamboo finish in a very natural way, creating a relaxed, marine ambience inside.

70 SUNREEF POWER - JAMBO – FIRST POWER YACHT BY SUNREEF

Aboard the 70 Sunreef Power you will be enjoying exceptional living spaces of over 500 square feet, as well as giant fly-bridge – SUNREEF band's speciality. The fly-bridge features the main helm station, sun-bathing mattresses and dining table surrounded by comfortable seating. On the aft deck You will have enough room for jet ski. On the main deck a spacious, external cockpit of 320 square feet will let you relax while being pleasantly sheltered from the sun.
The first 70' Sunreef Power was ordered specifically for a family voyage around the world; therefore a very distinctive feature would be her fantastic range of 8000 nautical miles while sailing at 8 knots driven by twin Volvo Penta 370 HP engines. There were also some innovative changes made regarding the fly bridge, where, by special request of the client, all furniture is easy to dismantle in order to create a playing area for children on this huge upper deck.
As for interior, the furniture will be made of finnish birch and the upholstery of beige skai, which will create all together very light and harmonious venue. Modern design with some classic elements will be applied.
Inside the 70 Sunreef Power you will discover comfortable saloon of modern design that creates a harmonious atmosphere. 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.

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.

MILES AND DREAMS AROUND THE WORLD ABOARD A SUNREEF 62 OR SUNREEF 97

Discover the Miles and Dreams project. A 5 legs around the world tour aboard MANUAI (SUNREEF 62) or BLU GURU (SUNREEF 70). I think this really is a great idea.

The two catamarans will leave Barcelona after the Boat Show on November 2009.

The trip is divided in five legs, each between 3 to 4 months in duration, which allow you to choose the adventure that better adjusts your needs. The yachts will be crewed by professionnals with lots of experience in sailing. The project was iniated by Javier Visiers, a naval architect, a keen sailors who raced many professional race including 3 Whitbread and circumnavigated aboard a aboard a lagoon 47. Carlos Peris, an experienced sailor with over 10 transatlantic crossings and more than 20 years working as a professional sailor, is the co-founder of the project.

As written in the web site "Miles and Dreams around the world will allow people to enjoy to take part in an adventure that usually requires a much higher investment, and previous sailing experience to make it truly enjoyable and “unforgettable”. You can rent a cabin for the whole circumnavigation or just for a specific leg or legs your are interested in. Both boats will always sail together to ensure all crewmembers and participants a high level of safety and social interaction".
