This Speedy 70-Foot Power Catamaran Is Designed to Cut Through Rough Waters

Christened simply Explorer Eco 40m , the newcomer showcases two sharp bows that slice through incoming waves for smoother, more efficient cruising and two sleek hulls that move through the water with less drag than the average monohull. In addition, the cat has an ultra-light composite body. As such, the multihull requires much less energy for cruising than a conventional yacht.

Speaking of energy, the vessel is powered by twin 540 kW motors that give it a maximum speed of 14 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. Sunreef adds that the cat has “transatlantic capability” but didn’t provide an exact range. The hull and superstructure are also covered in Sunreef’s proprietary “solar skin.” The system, which includes hundreds of square feet of solar panels, reportedly generates enough power to run every system on board.

“We are the only superyacht builder to have successfully developed the idea of embedding solar cells into large-scale fiberglass structures,” adds Lapp.

Further toward the stern, a huge swim platform pulls triple duty as a beach club, a launchpad for watersports, and a dive store. The platform is also fitted with huge fold-down wings that create extra real estate around the corners of the boat. At the opposite end, the foredeck lounge provides guests with incredible ocean views.

As for accommodation, the cat can sleep up to 10 guests and seven crew. The main deck is home to four generous guest cabins, while the upper deck is devoted primarily to the owner. The full-beam owner’s suite sports a super king-size bed, a giant walk-in dressing room, a scenic lounge, and a private terrace.

Sunreef says the build time for the Explorer Eco 40m will be approximately three years. Construction will be carried out at either the Gdansk shipyard in Poland or the new Ras Al Khaimah facility in the United Arab Emirates. That’s your big-ticket purchase for 2027 sorted, then.

Sunreef Reveals New 40m Explorer Catamaran

Multihull specialists Sunreef Yachts has revealed a 40 metre catamaran explorer concept.

According to the yard, the new 40M Sunreef Explorer has been designed for "discovering new horizons" and will offer a "transoceanic range" with "solid performance in rough seas". 

An extended aft deck houses features a launching crane with stowage for a seven-metre tender, two Jet Skis and an arsenal of water toys. With the tender launched, a hydraulic aft platform can be lowered to water level, allowing guests to enjoy a full-beam swim platform. 

Meanwhile, a 13.34 metre beam allows for impressive living quarters with a total of 654 square metres of space split across three decks. A vast bow terrace provides guests with ample room for lounging and will be complemented by a spa pool surrounded by sun pads and a bar.

As with most Sunreef Catamarans, there are a number of customisation options available so no two yachts are ever the same. Custom features available on the 40M Sunreef Explorer include a private fold-out balcony off of the master suite and a playroom with a self-levelling pool table.

The 40M Sunreef Explorer is the largest catamaran in the Sunreef fleet, superseding the first 33.5 metre custom Sunreef 110 Power which was sold in November 2019 with delivery slated for 2021.
