Release Snapshot
Sunreef Yachts launched the first Sunreef 100 Eco in Gdańsk in 2026. The vessel was commissioned by a returning Sunreef owner, a detail that speaks plainly to the yard’s track record.
The timing is deliberate. The yacht now enters final outfitting ahead of sea trials, with its world premiere confirmed for the Monaco Yacht Show. For the superyacht market, that is the appropriate stage for an announcement of this scale.
The Architecture of Clean Propulsion
The engineering brief was straightforward: electric propulsion, solar generation, and sailing efficiency — all without sacrificing the spatial generosity that defines the Sunreef proposition.
Twin electric engines each rated at 360kWh drive the vessel, backed by a 770kWh battery bank. The energy source is Sunreef Yachts’ own solar power system, with panels folded into the lines of the hulls, superstructure, and bimini. They generate clean energy continuously while the yacht retains its profile intact.
The combination of electric motors, battery storage, and sail power gives the Sunreef 100 Eco a layered approach to energy independence. At anchor, the solar array replenishes reserves. Under sail, the engines are silent. The two systems reinforce each other rather than compete.
Life Aboard
The Sunreef 100 Eco is designed for extended voyaging. The interior centres on an Ocean Lounge that creates a direct visual and spatial connection with the sea around it.
A large garage, dive locker, and dedicated toy storage address the practical demands of a crew that expects to spend serious time in the water. Guest accommodations are spacious. Indoor and outdoor living areas are generous in proportion.
Francis Lapp, Founder and President of Sunreef Yachts, positioned the vessel plainly: “With the Sunreef 100 Eco, we are proving that the future of superyachting can be both luxurious and responsible. Combining electric propulsion, solar power, and the efficiency of sailing, this yacht sets a new benchmark for clean cruising.”
The Yard Behind the Build
Founded in 2002 by French entrepreneur Francis Lapp, Sunreef Yachts builds custom luxury catamarans from shipyards in Gdańsk and Ras Al Khaimah. The UAE facility gives the brand a direct footprint in the region, and its client list includes Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Robert Lewandowski, and Fernando Alonso.
The Sunreef 100 Eco extends that portfolio in a specific direction: owners who want the performance and scale of a superyacht paired with genuine energy independence. The Ras Al Khaimah shipyard makes that conversation immediately relevant across the Gulf.
