Sunreef Yachts is to build a Sunreef 88 ULTIMA catamaran for Tim Ciasulli, Former USA National and World Offshore Powerboat Champion-Holder of 4 World Speed Records.
Sunreef Yachts unveils ULTIMA - a new range of hi-tech hybrid power catamarans. It is a line of fully-customizable crafts blending comfort, performance and lifestyle. After revealing the Sunreef 44 and 55 ULTIMA, Sunreef Yachts announced further additions to the range, including a spectacular 88-footer.
Combining the best of monohull dynamics with multihull living space, and shallow draft, the ULTIMA range creates a new type of marine architecture. Its advanced design reduces drag for enhanced performance and energy efficiency.
Sunreef Yachts’ award-winning solar power system, custom-engineered battery banks and hi-tech hybrid propulsion give the Sunreef 88 ULTIMA an unrivalled green power boost for a clean cruising experience filled with pure thrill.
From the full-beam master stateroom with a private sauna to the spacious guest cabins, the Sunreef 88 ULTIMA is the new definition of luxury living at sea. Her light-filled interiors use sustainable woods, recycled plastics and reclaimed fabrics. The living and lounging areas were designed to reduce artificial lighting and air conditioning.
When it’s time to play, ULTIMA opens her bulwark platforms and aft garage to unlock new levels of fun with a fleet of electric toys and a walkaround Ocean Lounge.
“SUNREEF ULTIMA is a powerful response to a new market demand. We now have the ultimate hull shape for all those who are looking to enjoy quick getaways in speed, comfort and style. To achieve this, we combined the best of the multihull and monohull design philosophy. This concept is all about fast cruises, vast living space and energy-efficiency,” says Francis Lapp – Founder and President.
Tim Ciasulli, Former USA National and World Offshore Powerboat Champion-Holder of 4 World Speed Records, just recently signed the order for this hybrid luxury super cat. It is the first US-sold ULTIMA yacht.
With a racing career spanning four decades, over 300 races and more than 100 victories, Tim Ciasulli has a unique expertise in the domain of high performance multihulls. A passionate yachtsman, the speed champion is also a serial yacht owner, having owned 5 monohull superyachts.
While looking for the perfect combination of comfort, speed and efficiency, he decided to build a powerful Sunreef 88 ULTIMA hybrid catamaran with Sunreef Yachts. An expression of his passion for fast catamarans and his appreciation for superyacht luxury, the Sunreef 88 ULTIMA will offer plenty of living space and a marine architecture tailored for performance.
"Who else builds a yacht that has almost 400 sq. mt. (4200 sq. ft.) of living area where you can cruise responsibly, economically, and sustainably on solar powered electric motors and go 35 MPH on traditional engines when you need to? I'm thrilled to be a part of this game changing exciting project where I can have both speed and sustainability on a huge platform!" says Tim Ciasulli, Former USA National and World Offshore Powerboat Champion-Holder of 4 World Speed Records.
One of the yacht’s outstanding features will be her walkaround Ocean Lounge – an aft deck offering lots of lounging space with opening bulwark platforms and easy access to a fleet of water toys.
