Sunreef Ultima 55: Where Adventure Meets Glamour

For the speed demons among us, the Ultima 55, with its hybrid prowess, is predicted to purr along at a pace nearing 35 knots. Fancy a long cruise? It’ll comfortably carry you about 180 nautical miles at 25 knots. But there’s more: this beauty will also be kind to Mother Earth, with a battery system that can get its juice from shore power, onboard generators, and – wait for it – solar panels. That’s right, you can bask in the sun while your yacht draws energy from it.

Sunreef Ultima 55 isn’t just another luxury yacht; it’s a fashion statement on water. With reverse bows and a cockpit that looks like it's wearing the chicest hat with a wide brim, the Ultima 55 is both adventure-ready and Instagram-worthy. And if you’re thinking of hosting a sea soiree, the folding aft bulwarks will impress your guests by turning the aft deck into a beach club.

In a classic case of “if you blink, you miss,” the first batch of Ultima 55s has already been sold. If you’re thinking of visualising hull number one, it’s currently taking shape in the United Arab Emirates. And the real pomp and splendour? The inaugural Sunreef Ultima 55 is making its grand appearance at the Cannes Yachting Festival. 

While Sunreef has been somewhat coy about the pricing, whispers around the port suggest a number in the vicinity of €2.4 million. Pocket change, right? We jest, of course, but what would you expect for a new, chic beast of the seas, that’s more a statement than a boat?
