Polish multihull specialist Sunreef Yachts has announced that hull construction is well underway on the first Sunreef 43M Eco, with "the biggest single-shot hull infusion in the world" recently completed. The 42.7-metre yacht is set to become the world's largest electric catamaran once delivered.
The model was first revealed in January 2022 as the newest addition to the shipyard's Eco fleet. The sale of the first hull was completed by Tim Quinlan at Ocean Independence and confirmed at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022.
The hull, superstructure and rigging of the vessel feature integrated solar panels supplying the yacht with green energy while an advanced hydro-generation system produces clean power, for emission-free cruising and "infinite range", according to the shipyard.
Highlights of the 43M Eco include a large "ocean lounge" aft that ties the aft deck, swim platform and fold-down balconies into a single space for waterside lounging. The area can be customised to the requirements of each owner with the addition of a massage room, a bar serving drinks to guests or a fitness area. Tenders and toys can be stored in the yacht's invisible aft garage.
A second sun lounging option can be found up on the flybridge with a spa pool and oversized sun pads, a bar and dining area and an outdoor cinema.
According to BOATPro, Sunreef Yachts has an impressive 26 yachts on order or under construction. The yard recently unveiled the flagship model in its Ultima catamaran range, a 33.8-metre designed in collaboration with Dutch design agency Phathom Studio.
