Founder and President of Sunreef Yachts, Lapp talks about why he was motivated to create the catamaran builder’s Eco range, which today accounts for over half of its orders.

Sunreef’s five-strong line-up for Cannes this year includes three global debuts and four Eco models with Galeon, Sanlorenzo, Absolute, Fairline, Beneteau, Invictus and Capoforte also revealing their line-ups.

The Polish luxury catamaran builder has launched its second 80 Eco, which features the builder’s ‘solar skin’ on the hull sides, superstructure and hard top.

Jeanneau, Sunseeker, Galeon, Fairline, Sunreef and Swan are among a diverse range of builders who have recently entered the luxury day boat market, which has grown rapidly in the Med and Florida. But will such boats also prove popular in Asia?

Fernando Alonso was able to enjoy a Sunreef 80 Eco sailing yacht in Greece this summer, ahead of the delivery of his customised 60 Sunreef Power Eco.

The Galeon 800 Fly and Pearl 72 are among world premieres at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which will also mark the US debut of the 80 Sunreef Power and showcase all six Aquila models.
