Let’s get one thing straight: catamarans were never supposed to be sexy. They were the beige trousers of the boating world — practical, stable, and deeply unglamorous. And then Sunreef Yachts came along with a martini in one hand and a blueprint in the other, asking, “What if we made it irresistible?”
The result? The Sunreef 80 Power — a solar-powered, twin-hulled, mega-floating villa that doesn’t just challenge the yacht world’s norms. It rewrites the script entirely.
Catamaran or beachfront penthouse?
At 24.4 meters long and 12 meters wide, the Sunreef 80 Power doesn’t whisper “yacht.” It roars “villa.” But unlike most luxury yachts that sacrifice practicality for looks, this one delivers both. Thanks to its twin-hull design, it offers nearly double the living space of a monohull of similar length. We’re talking main saloon with panoramic views, master suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, and deck lounges that rival any five-star resort in the Maldives.
It’s not just large — it’s cleverly large. Modular layouts mean you can turn a guest cabin into a gym, a studio, or a secret cigar den. Want a bar with a retractable cinema screen? Fine. Prefer a sushi station and ice-cold sake on tap? Done.
This is a yacht for people who’ve seen everything — and want something they’ve never seen before.

Solar power that actually works
Plenty of yachts slap a couple of solar panels on the flybridge and call it green. Not Sunreef. With their patented “Solar Skin” technology, the solar panels are integrated into the very structure of the yacht — invisible, sleek, and surprisingly powerful. Up to 40kW of clean energy powers everything from the lighting to the air conditioning.
Pair that with hybrid propulsion systems and advanced lithium battery banks, and the 80 Power can cruise in total silence for hours. No diesel fumes. No vibration. Just you, the ocean, and a soundscape of dolphins applauding your good taste.
Performance without compromise
You’d think a floating mansion would lumber along like a barge. Think again.
The Sunreef 80 Power comes with twin 575 HP engines as standard, but you can ramp it up to 1200 HP if you fancy outrunning your neighbour’s Sunseeker. With a top speed of around 22 knots and a range of up to 3,500 nautical miles, this catamaran isn’t just a coastal cruiser — it’s a transatlantic contender.
Moreover, stability is a game-changer. Thanks to its catamaran hull, there’s no need for stabilisers or drama when crossing rough waters. Your wine stays in the glass, your guests stay upright, and your ego remains intact.
Who is this floating utopia for?
Let’s not kid ourselves. This isn’t for the average yacht buyer. The Sunreef 80 Power caters to a new generation of owners — ones who value privacy over party, innovation over indulgence, and impact over impulse.
They might be Silicon Valley execs who relocated to Bali, Saudi royals with an eye for sustainability, or European art collectors tired of carbon offsetting their Gulfstreams. It’s a yacht for those who want to disappear — not to hide, but to breathe.
The numbers you’ll brag about (even if you pretend not to)
- Length: 24.4 m
- Beam: 12 m
- Top speed: 22 knots
- Range: 3,500 nm
- Solar output: up to 40 kW
- Guest capacity: up to 12
- Crew: 3–4
- Customization level: borderline ridiculous
Want to turn the roof into a yoga deck with retractable sails? No problem. How about a DJ booth hidden under the daybed? Of course. The only thing this yacht won’t do is drive itself. Yet.
My verdict: a catamaran that doesn’t care what you think — and that’s why it’s brilliant
Sunreef’s 80 Power doesn’t try to be the loudest yacht in the marina. It doesn’t need to. While others blast music and burn fuel for show, this cat simply glides past — silent, solar-powered, and smugly self-assured.
It’s the answer to a question few were asking a decade ago: can luxury be sustainable without being boring? Turns out, it can be breathtaking.
What about you?
Would you trade in roar and chrome for sun and silence? Could you see yourself cruising the world in a catamaran that thinks it’s a boutique hotel?
Tell me what you’d add to your dream Sunreef 80 Power — cigar lounge? DJ deck? Full-blown hammam?
