SUNREEF RELEASES THE LATEST FULL SHOOTING OF THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE ULTIMA 55 CATAMARAN
Sunreef Yachts releases the latest full shooting of its hotly anticipated Ultima 55, the debut model of the shipyard’ s new performance catamaran line.
Designed for modern lifestyle seekers and adventure lovers, the Ultima 55 introduces a more contemporary and aggressive look, foil-assisted performance, and exhilarating 38 knot top speeds, all while delivering the signature luxury and comfort that define Sunreef’ s DNA. With 5 hulls launched and 9 hulls under construction, the model is proving to be one of Sunreef’ s most successful launches to date.
“ We listened to our clients, and the feedback was clear,” said Sunreef founder and CEO, Francis Lapp.“ There is still huge enthusiasm for our sustainable, solar-powered luxury catamarans, but some of our owners were requesting a smaller, faster and nimbler take on the genre. This is the Ultima line, and we are delighted to see such strong interest following the launch of the Ultima 55, with 5 hulls launched and 9 under construction.”
A NEW CONCEPT
From the dock, it is at once obvious that the Ultima 55 is both part of the Sunreef family and something completely new. Its exterior design includes familiar cues, such as the gently chamfered edges and elegantly curved sweep of the hull aft. There’ s also the contrast of the dark glass of the superstructure and the numerous hull lights.
But the design has been rethought from the keel up. Lines are much more aggressive, with a deep chine and a dramatic reverse bow. The mullions of the saloon windows are raked forward, giving a sense of athleticism and motion. And out of sight, below the twin hulls, a robust foil provides lift and reduces drag.
Many of the features on deck will be familiar from the larger Sunreef
