'Sunreef Yachts'

Sunreef Yachts is a private shipyard based in Gdańsk, Poland.

Created in 2000 by Francis and Nicolas Lapp, the company specializes in luxury catamarans design, construction and charter. In 2002 Sunreef Yachts launches its first sailing catamaran-yacht, the Sunreef 74 with flybridge, the typical structural element of motor yachts. This marks a new era in the catamarans design. They become luxury yachts and attract superyacht owners swiching their monohulls to catamarans, appreciated for their stability, space, no rolling at anchor, fairly-sized exterior space and lower fuel consumption comparing to monohulls.

The company designs luxury catamarans over 60 feet in two ranges: semi-custom sail and power yachts from 60 to 80 feet and custom superyachts over 80 feet. In 2011 more than 50 Sunreefs are sailing around the world. Famous clients include Laurent Bourgnon from France, renowed racer and regattas winner who is now travelling with family on a 70 Sunreef Power JAMBO in French Polynesia.

In 2010 Sunreef Yachts has launched two superyachts-catamarans over 100 feet which is a rare accomplishement in yacht building community as both units were built simultanously.

The company has also yacht management department, technical support service and yacht charter agency.
