Sustainability is becoming increasingly
important even in super yachting,
which tends to be less than sustainable –
many owners, especially younger ones, demand
ecologically correct solutions. With
the Sunreef 43M Eco, the Polish shipyard
debuted what it dubbed the »ultimate ecocatamaran«
in January 2022, and the first
unit has been sold. Tim Quinlan, sales
broker at Ocean Independence, closed the
deal at the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show. He
comments, »After relatively long research,
we went to Sunreef with the proposal and
the client. This synergy between Sunreef ’s
industry-leading experience in building
large superyacht catamarans and the
client’s vision for their yacht meant that the
decision of which yard to use was made
very quickly.« Quinlan says the client, got a
taste for owning a large yacht by chartering
larger yachts. He first rented a format in
2017 and will now take delivery of his 43 m
long yacht in September 2025.
The 43M Eco’s hull, superstructure and
other components feature integrated
solar panels that power the yacht with
green energy. At the same time advanced
hydrogenators generate clean electricity
for emission-free cruising, creating a virtually
infinite range.
Highlights of the 43M Eco include a
large »Ocean Lounge« aft that combines
the aft deck, swim platform and fold-out
balconies into a single space. The area
can be customised to meet each owner’s
needs, including a massage room, bar
and fitness area. Dinghies and toys are
stored in the yacht’s hidden aft garage; a
second sunbathing option is located on
the flybridge, complete with a spa pool,
oversized sun pads, a bar and dining area,
and outdoor cinema.
