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.

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.

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 possibility 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.

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.

Launched in November 2011, ANINI is the 7th unit of the Sunreef 70 Sailingsuccessfully 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.

All yachts can be visited in Vieux Port, Jetee Pantiero, Multihulls Section, MTC 105 during the festival. Please reserve your visit prior to the show. All yachts can be sea trailed after the show.
