Polish catamaran specialist Sunreef Yachts has announced that it has sold a third 43M Eco at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival. The buyer is a repeat client who previously owned a 24.4-metre Sunreef 80 Power.
"We're very proud to have a client go fully eco," said Sunreef CTO and co-founder Nicolas Lapp. "And we are already talking with other customers [about the 43M Eco]. The interest in sustainable yachting is growing. This is the direction that we wanted to go in, so we're happy to see the market agrees."
The first unit was sold in late 2022 and will be the world's largest electric catamaran once delivered.
The hull, superstructure and rigging of the vessel is designed with integrated solar panels that supply the yacht with 250kWh of energy in a 24-hour period. An advanced hydro-generation system will also produce "clean power" for emission-free cruising and "infinite range", according to the shipyard.
Accommodation is for 12 guests, including a master cabin with a private office and direct access to a lounge space at the bow.
Leisure highlights include an "ocean lounge" that connects the aft deck to the swim platform, creating a single space for waterside lounging. This area is heavily customisable, with clients able to instal a massage room, a bar or a fitness area. An invisible aft garage is also nearby for tender and toy storage.
A second sun lounging option can be found up on the flybridge, arranged with a spa pool, sunpads, a bar and dining area and an outdoor cinema.
This follows the reveal of a smaller entry in the shipyard's sailing catamaran series, the 35M Eco.
