Sunreef 50M Explorer Katamaran

Sunreef Yachts is building the Sunreef 50M Explorer in Gdansk for delivery in 2028, and at 499 gross tons across 50 metres she is going up as a long-range platform rather than a marina showpiece. A composite catamaran hull gives her the deck space and stability that a single hull cannot match at this length, and a buyer commissioning her now is ordering a yacht to a specification, not inheriting somebody else's choices.

Build and provenance

She is a Sunreef Yachts catamaran with a composite hull, new construction rather than a refit, due for delivery in 2028. Her beam of 14.3 metres is wide even for a 50-metre yacht, the result of building in two hulls rather than one, and it is what lets the Sunreef 50M Explorer carry a six-cabin layout and full crew quarters without the narrow corridors a monohull her length would have.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests are accommodated across six cabins, and a crew of twelve, one for every guest, points to continuous service rather than a lean delivery crew. That ratio also suits an explorer yacht, where enough hands are needed to run tenders, toys and systems for stretches away from a marina.

Performance and engineering

Two hulls give the Sunreef 50M Explorer a stability at sea that a single-hull yacht her size cannot equal, and her specification includes fittings for dive compressors, sea bobs, a sailing dinghy and tenders, the kind of kit a yacht carries when she is meant to cruise far from her base rather than shuttle along one coastline. Built to cruise at around 10 knots, she is set up to cover distance economically rather than to sprint between anchorages.

Where she lies and how to see her

The Sunreef 50M Explorer is under construction at the yard in Gdansk, Poland. Boatcrowd arranges viewings of her build and attends them with prospective buyers, and once an offer on her is accepted, we set up the survey and sea trial ahead of delivery.
