Sunreef 60 Powercat
Let’s travel from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. Wonderful yachting destinations. Catamarans built by Sunreef Yachts are dominating the charter industry. Vessels such as Sunreef 70 sail catamaran BLUE GURU and Sunreef 70 power catamaran DAMRAK II redefine luxury at sea.
Now, word comes of a new entry into the marketplace by Sunreef. In particular, the Sunreef 60 power catamaran. It is a result of a growing demand for compact, impressive multihull motoryachts. This yacht has all the features of the popular 70 Sunreef Power. However, it has a 27.8 foot (8.5 meter) beam. This beam width makes her more convenient for crowded marinas. This is a popular concept for Mediterranean dockage.

The first unit of the 60 Sunreef Power has been commissioned by a European owner. To enumerate, it has two double cabins in the forward section, two double cabins in the starboard hull, and one double, one bunk-bed cabin in the port hull. All cabins will have private bathrooms and plenty of storage space.
Mediterranean yacht charter guests will find the interior of the main deck will feature the galley and a dining area, while a mezzanine floor located in the midship will feature the internal helm station and lounge, providing access to the forward guest cabins and the flybridge.
A spacious sun deck comprises an external helm station, wet bar, dining area and a roomy sun pad, ideal for outdoor lounging in the sun. Charter models will have an option to include a Jacuzzi on the flybridge.
She features many beautiful modern and minimalistic touches. For instance, wenge and oak wood contrasts, and cream and white upholstery that has brushed stainless steel details.
The Sunreef 60 mould (mold USA) is already completed and the first unit is due for launch in late May 2012.

Looking for a new cruising destination?
A wondrous oasis set amidst mystical red deserts, breathtaking mountain backdrops, and glorious emerald seas, these ancient lands are truly spectacular. From the rugged peaks and whitewashed villages fragrantly perfumed by frankincense in Oman, to the glistening modern skyline anchored by the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, to the to the serene seafront of the Doha Corniche in Qatar.
Luxury powercat yacht DAMRAK II
An exceptional charter yacht befitting this idyllic Arabian paradise, luxury catamaran DAMRAK II, a 2011 Sunreef 70 model, is certain to exceed expectations of the most discriminating charterers. This yacht is designed with the elegance and speed of a motor yacht, yet offers the shallow-draft advantage of a sail catamaran, allowing guests to cruise right up to the edge of a sandy beach.
“Luxury power catamarans (powercats) are in demand. They are steady and sturdy, and they typically offer more room to clients due to beam of double hulls. People want the speed of a motoryacht and the width and stability of a sailing catamaran. With Damrak II powercat, they get the best of both worlds.”
Tastefully chic and spacious accommodations offer divine comfort for up to 8 guests in one full-beam master, one king, one queen, and one double deluxe cabin. The published weekly rate is €39 000 EUROS, plus all running expenses.

Presenting powercat THUNDERBIRD 2. A motorized catamaran with a very unique paintjob! Thanks to Sarah for letting us know that it should be included in this blog. We agree! Go green! #gogreen
Everyone knows that picking house paint colors isn’t just difficult, it’s terrifying! Pick colors that are blah, and your house will seem featureless and flat. But if the colors you pick are too bold, they might overwhelm the architecture…and upset your neighbors.
The best colors will highlight the most beautiful features of your home. Skillful use of color can even disguise design flaws, boosting the, “curb appeal” and market value of your home.
Finding that magic color combination also holds true for luxury mega yacht charter vessels.
The first thing a potential client sees when preparing to rent a private yacht is the exterior. The “dock appeal” must catch the attention of the prospect and pique his curiosity to see the interior as well.
Traditionally, yachts were painted simply – clean, bright white. With modern technology, new paints and colors that resist fading and the harsh marine environment have been developed. Now, the only limit to the exterior color scheme of a yacht is the owner’s imagination.
Here’s a sampling of unique paint schemes and colors on some of the newest and largest yachts around the world:
QUITE ESSENTIAL – With a striking color scheme of Oyster White and Merlot Red, developed by the owner in close collaboration with Dobroserdov Design, Heesen motor yacht Quite Essential will certainly not pass unnoticed in the Mediterranean yacht charter fleet. It is said the red color was inspired by the owner’s love for Merlot wine!
SLIPSTREAM – celebrity owner, former American Idol judge, and X-Factor creator Simon Cowell, is known for wearing simple, dark colored T-shirts against pale blue jeans. The classic deep blue hull and gun-blue superstructure of Cowell’s yacht Slipstream sets the scene for a truly nautical and contemporary super yacht.
BLACK and WHITE – the distinctive black and white theme onboard motor yacht BLACK AND WHITE is based on the ancient yin yang symbol, a Chinese sign for the mixing of complementary opposites. Launched in 2010, this magnificent Sunseeker 34 yacht mixes not only color, but also high-end amenities and comfort with performance and power.
MISTER JINGLES – the global debt crisis has focused great attention on the value of gold. The color gold draws nearly as much attention, especially on a yacht painted stem to stern in this shiny, metallic palette. Designed and built by Italy’s Fashion Yachts, motor yacht Mister Jingles debuted as a luxury yacht charter vessel in 2009. The metallic performance yacht boasts a 35 knot cruising speed – perfect for quickly getting from one famous port to another.
AURELIA – recently, we profiled yachts named after race horses by their loving owners. It seems another type of race fan – Formula 1 cars – is just as proud to display his passion on a yacht. The 37-Meter Heesen motor yacht Aurelia boast an unusual color scheme from Dobroserdov Design, inspired by the owner’s passion for racing cars. Zoom Zoom Zoom!

Stand Up Paddleboarding SUP
The other day, our charter department was updating the list of online watertoys for newly launched Mediterranean yacht charter vessel QUARANTA. The list of aquatoys sent to us by the yacht’s manager detailed all of the usual toys – tender, snorkel gear, wakeboard, etc. One item, however, caught my attention: SUP.
I fired off a text message to the manager that read, “David, whatz SUP?”
A few moments later, I received his reply, “Not much…whatz up wit u??”
Once I composed myself and stopped laughing, I sent him another text reading, “No seriously, what does SUP mean?”
David replied, “Stand Up Paddleboard.”
It seems stand up paddleboards, or SUP’s are popping up on mega yacht charter vessels everywhere, and just might be the “In” watertoy for 2013.
Stand up paddle boarding is an emerging global sport with a Hawaiian heritage. Designed as a way for surfers to paddle longer distances, supporters cite the ease of learning how to use a SUP as a key to its popularity.
“Unlike kiteboarding or windsurfing, novices can learn to use a SUP in as little as an hour of training,” states Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters. “They are affordable toys that can easily be integrated into both sail boat charters and motor yacht charters.”
