Marie Joseph

Running Marie Joseph is a quiet job by catamaran standards: a crew of four handles a boat that cruises at 8 knots and tops out at 12, speeds that ask little of an engine room. Sunreef Yachts built her in 2025 as a 24-metre eco-catamaran, and that build brief, solar-assisted and quiet under way, shapes what owning her actually involves day to day. She sleeps eight guests in four cabins, so the crew-to-guest ratio stays generous even before anyone starts counting who handles the sailing.

Build and provenance

She is a Sunreef-built sailing catamaran with a hull length of 24 metres, or 79 feet, and a beam of 11.5 metres, the wide platform that comes with a catamaran hull. Two 180kW motors back her sailing rig for the moments wind alone will not do, in keeping with a build aimed at quieter, lower-emission cruising rather than outright speed. No refit is recorded against her: her history to date is the one build.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, looked after by a crew of four, a ratio that keeps the boat properly staffed without feeling crowded. A catamaran's beam puts the saloon and cabins on one level and gives the deck plan room to breathe, the kind of space the eco-catamaran format is built around. Owner's cabin placement is not specified in the listing record, so that detail is one to confirm at a viewing.

Performance and engineering

Under sail or power she cruises at 8 knots and reaches 12 knots at the top end, modest figures that suit unhurried passages rather than fast ones. The 180kW motors and the eco-focused build point toward lower fuel use and quieter running at anchor, though the record does not detail her tankage or range.

Where she lies and how to see her

Marie Joseph lies in Greece, and Boatcrowd sets up viewings there and takes you through her in person; a survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted. She also sails in our charter fleet, based out of Mahe and operating across the Seychelles, the Maldives and Madagascar, so a week aboard is possible before you commit to buying.
