About The Company

The Sunreef Yachts shipyard, established in Gdansk – Poland in 2002 by French Businessman- Francis Lapp, has the knowledge, experience and technical background necessary to manufacture unique multihulls of the highest quality composite using the most advanced technology practiced in the yachting industry today. Each Sunreef custom-made catamaran is designed in great detail for the most demanding customer and delivers the best in comfort, living, and safety. Every yacht boats high-performance sailing, luxury “tailored” accommodation, extensive living space and innovative design features. Thanks to the large distance between their two hulls and proper weight distribution, Sunreef`s catamarans are much more stable than typical monohulls. These vessels are regarded by their users as real “floating villas”. They are significantly wider so that they can provide even double the living space of a monohull. With exceptional space and great stability, all Sunreef Yachts make spending time aboard nothing but a pleasure. On a catamaran of a certain size there is no need to compromise on the comfort which boat owners and guests are used to from their homes- it is possible to accommodate a large number of guests, dine and rest comfortably in any of the nicely arranged areas indoors or outdoors no matter whether cruising on the ocean, anchored in the bay or moored in the marina. Sunreef Yachts are well known among customers around the world. The combination of all the features of Sunreef`s units together with designs that are fully customizable and prepared upon individual request, reinforce Sunreef Yachts as the undisputed leader in luxury catamarans. Thus far the shipyard has launched more than 80 super sailing and power units for individual requests.
