Sunreef unveiled its latest 77 Ultima hybrid catamaran, the fifth in the yard’s line of ultra-efficient Ultima yachts. The 77 showcases the brand’s signature elegance while incorporating new technologies to meet increasing customer demands for enhanced speed, space, and sustainability.
Sunreef is committed to innovation and sustainability, without sacrificing style or performance. Typically, Sunreef’s Ultima models feature a signature “solar skin” – that covers the surface in thin and flexible solar panels that provide a sleek and sexy exterior while simultaneously supplying continuous, clean energy to its ultralight and efficient batteries. The solar skin is a complement to other innovative green technologies used by the boat. These include its energy-saving watermakers, air conditioners, and optional computer controlled hydrofoils. These can be used to reduce drag, increase speed and make the boat appear to fly above the waves and water.
When not flying on hydrofoils, the Ultima’s hybrid propulsion system, combined with an optimized hull design, reduces drag to enhance both speed and stability, ensuring consistent passenger comfort in all types of weather conditions.
“We now have the ultimate hull shape for all those who are looking to enjoy quick getaways in speed, comfort, and style,” Sunreef founder and president Francis Lapp said in a statement. “To achieve this, we combined the best of the multihull and monohull design philosophy.”
The Sunreef 77 Ultima is not only environmentally friendly, but also boasts a living space that floods with natural light. This creates an airy, open atmosphere, which flows into the semi-open dining areas and alfresco lounge areas. Each element of the boat’s design was chosen to ensure that every journey aboard the Ultima is as comfortable as it is thrilling.
The catamaran’s dynamic design allows for easy access to marinas, thanks to its folding bulwark platform that can be tucked away when not in use. Its aft deck, however, can also be transformed into a spacious and versatile area, allowing it to provide more entertainment options. Of course, the best spot for relaxation might be the flybridge, which – in addition to its better vantage for ocean views and sea-life spotting – features a jacuzzi and even more lounge space.
As with all of its ships, the interiors of the Ultima catamaran can be tailored to suit the owner’s preferences, with a variety of bespoke decors and customizable layouts available. This flexibility allows for an individualized living space that combines luxury with the individual needs and tastes.
Sunreef’s innovation in green technology, efficient design and other areas continues to drive the luxury yachting sector forward. The 77 Ultima, which joins Sunreef’s existing 44, 55, 66, and 88 Ultima models, caters to the modern mariner’s desire for luxury and performance while also addressing a growing demand for more environmentally responsible yachting solutions. This latest hybrid catamaran expands our understanding of the future of sustainable luxury yachting, and from where we’re sitting, that future looks very stylish indeed.
