For those who enjoy the silence of a sail yacht cutting through the waves, exceptional onboard comfort and large, safe spaces, the multi-hull category is the ideal solution. It could be said that from the point of view of exterior design, their shape, determined by the presence of two lateral hulls and a central superstructure, is not as elegant as that of single-hull models. However, when it comes to available space, stability and limited draught, cats cannot be matched by any other type of craft, and have become the preferred type of boat for beginners and families. Sunreef, a Polish yard with solid expertise in designing and building catamarans, has also invested heavily in ecological solutions (many of its yachts are equipped with solar panels, for example), and is presenting a series of increasingly large, high-performance yachts with great style, like the Sunreef 80’ Grayone.
This 24.4 metre composite custom catamaran is a distillation of performance and style that’s perfect for all kinds of adventure, even trans-oceanic. Designed by the Sunreef Yachts Interior Design Team, Grayone boasts an anthracite grey hull and superstructure livery. Its exceptional width – a beam of 11.5 metres – means there’s plenty of liveable indoor and outdoor space on board. All these spaces unfold smoothly, with large outdoor lounge areas that are ideal for private and charter use. The comfy area forward, well-protected from the sun and wind, is perfect for relaxation and informal dining, as it is furnished with sofas and height-adjustable tables. The interior salon aft communicates seamlessly with the spacious cockpit to create a fresh, cool indoor and outdoor area that culminates in a custom-designed hydraulic platform, just the place for chilling out or enjoying watersports. The huge salon is full of light, thanks to the wide windows that surround the entire deckhouse so that it resembles a wonderful loft on the sea. The owner has chosen a minimal, elegant interior style that harmonises
perfectly with exteriors – the shade of grey used for the ceilings and floors is taken up by the Jupiter sofa by Arketipo, while a glass and black leather table creates an elegant contrast and a large cognac colour sofa adds a vivacious touch to the overall colour scheme. Towards the bow there is a bar area with easy access to the yacht’s large foredeck lounge. The style throughout combines elegance and practicality, with a marine teak that complements the black walls, also when going down into the cabin area. The interiors provide luxurious accommodations for up to eight guests in four en-suite cabins with an elegant decor blending shades of grey, black and cognac. The opulent master suite has a sofa and double bed with nubuck bedhead, plus a walk-in dressing room and bathroom with steam bath. Another striking feature is the 54m² flybridge – while this hosts the main helm, it’s definitely dedicated to leisure with more than enough space for movable furniture, a Jacuzzi, fully-equipped wet bar, a barbecue and large sunpads, for extreme relaxation.
