The more and more I look into catamarans the more and more I become interested in them. I only use a sailboat for day use and for holidays, not really for any serious sailing (at least not frequently), so the comfort of a cat is really attractive.
This is a design that does what it set out to do very well. How it sails is another detail. I cannot imagine it being easy to handle in enclosed waters unless it has all the gear to do so, (i.e. joysticks and thrusters linked to GPS) but even then it has so much windage that it must be a nightmare. I am sure a lot of people will enjoy it but it is not something I would invest in, even if I did have the dosh..
Good to see all the snobby sailing types (and obviously design experts) giving their opinions. You have the right not to buy, I would imagine 90% of you can’t afford one anyway.
Toby, can you check the shutter speed & f Stop on the camera settings, the video seems to blur when panning or moving which is an indication you may need to check, that or the output processing is not right, overall love the tour, one big fun boat
I was a deckhand on one of the 1st 68 supreme models made and its astonishing how diferent the interior design is! Everything has pretty much the same layou5 but the choice of colour and fabrics makes so different. Also the supreme I was on had the flybridge in white instead of black and even though I have to admit the black makes it look much better I'm happy I didn't have to maintain it. The roof was a nightmare to clean though...
There's a tugboat vibe to the design. I like the curvilinear approach of the double-decker better and would love to see the adventure model built for halibut fishing and whale watching.
Vernon Deck With main sail and Code 0: 10 knots SOG with 13-14 knots apparent wind with no engines on. You do want to pray on flat sea because it can sail a bit rough with waves up to 2m. Not made for those who love sailing but it performs better than expected.
You are welcome to change the finishing of the surfaces, layout of the saloon/kitchen and crew cabins etc..etc... to meet your requirements/taste. There are only a handful of this model out there in the wild and each is different! For the interior space, outdoor lounging areas, toys and amenities you really get good value on this model, the saloon compares in width too that of a super 130' mega yacht, and very few boats of this size would have a spa pool/such a large tender garrage, which comes close to many super yachrs and some mega yachts. Its also not really a yacht, its a few feet short of meeting the length requirements for a 'super yacht' but in reality because it is a catamaran, and because of the design it probably has much more space than many of the smaller super yachts.
From the outside there is a lego like quality to this yacht. From the inside it looks like you're in a large apartment in a tall building. Now, did you say 68 foot in height?
Ville Poranen This particular model was desing more as a motor boat than a cat and without the mast it looks better. It took me a while but I grew to like it despite my first impressions. And it's spacious enough to forget about aesthetics imo. It definitely draws everyone's attention for good or bad.
Well big ships aren t aesthetics! Watch some ships of more than 200ft that are owned by the most rich people in the world! Watch romance motoryatch as an example!
Its actually about functionality Ville, some people want performance, some people want space, some people want quality of finish, or the toys it carries, some people want a combination. In this model it is clear that toys and space is emphasized, and it does so at a good price. Other people want speed/performance, Sunreef has a performance line of large sailing catamarans that is advertised to cruise at 20knots. Its all about what you are looking for. And if you are looking for space and toys then this is the boat for you.
Catamaran Channel yes maybe... it still looks like a trawler with sailes... i love Sunreef cats... like there low profile models... but this one is to much for me 🤗
I think that's what it's supposed to be. The sort of people that buy this will employ someone to sail it. It's just a place of luxury to bob around in.
Optics aside: What an aerodynamic disaster! Almost more windage than sail area... like a bulky skyscraper rigged with a handkerchief. Effectively probably mostly a power catamaran or a stationary marina appartment, not a sailboat ... except for that tiny bit of sails to fool yourself with some green conscience.
The owners of this brand very ofen complain that everything simply falls apart on these yachts. the quaity of the assembly is the worst that can be. There is another Polish brand Galeon - the same story.
Not in production for 25 years. However, Katchinsky crashed with the other dozens of memers of government in TU154 with the fault of his own not the airplane. Leaders of the countries always use the best aircrafts for themselves, so why did he use Tupolev just like other leaders of the countries do?. No more conversations with idiots.
using a mobile i phone and a crappy Chinese gimbal is not the best look for yachting world, trying to fix with software causes ghosting , which you have lots, is just going to lose you views. cough up the money and buy an osmo or something that this site needs.

I really like that all the gauges, switches and amenities are labeled in braille. I guess that was the designers input.

90%, more like 99.9%
For what it is it's fairly cheap you can buy 2 68 Supremes and a bit for the base price of a Lagoon Seventy 7 which has noticable less living space.
How much is this boat??? Just curious
3.5mil usd base, less used.
Toby, can you check the shutter speed & f Stop on the camera settings, the video seems to blur when panning or moving which is an indication you may need to check, that or the output processing is not right, overall love the tour, one big fun boat
Im 100% sure he doesnt read comments.
I dont think he gives a fak.
Wow, you seem very upset to keep posting such remarks@@CatamaranChannel- sorry you are so offended

Hi there, Im curious was it a sailing or power yacht? Was it stable? How was the rocking motion? Any other likes/ dislikes? thanks!
Gorgeous yacht
At what age did you lose your eyesight?
treywilly431 I agree, very ahead of its time, luxury sailing.
Interesting design concept for those luxury charters. I take one any day. Its oddly beautiful and it square shape functional and spacious.
If Sunreef put the cockpit inside like Gunboat did that would be an epiphysis perfection.
you need a better camera
Or at least look into de-interlacing
He thinks he doesnt.
Hes a real pro, you know.
There's a tugboat vibe to the design. I like the curvilinear approach of the double-decker better and would love to see the adventure model built for halibut fishing and whale watching.
This floating house doesn't need mast.
love the show boat design for chartering. still needs some refinement
For people who want a block of flats that float. Good luck actually sailing anywhere in that behemoth.

Pretty impressive for a floating apartment.
Finally, a boat for people who don't like boats.
Was the camera used won at a fairground 😜
Rofl.
I think he found it next to the bin at the office.
I actually like it.
Wow, a yacht for someone who doesnt like yachts, or style, or has any eyes!
Oh, and REALLY misses the 80s!

These private yachts are getting so big you would have to have a pilot to enter port!!
small superyacht style :)
I am having a mixed reaction
Dude, what's with the video quality?
Its the new pro look.
Years ahead of hes time.
Goes to show all the money in the world doesn't necessarily buy you good taste

OMG
it's a condo on pontoons
House boat on steroids!
The cad technician didn't know how to put a radius one the drawings.
bad video quality. Narrow camera viewing angle. content is good but it was filmed incorrectly for viewers to enjoy.
Sorry everyone... Personally I find it ugly... Sunreef you can do better
Marco GPolo hear, hear, ..it’s awful.. it’s a hotel with hulls. 👎
Maybe the 74 is more your style.
Ive been on it, and it gives more of the catamaran feel you expect.
Real nice cat.
Catamaran Channel yes maybe... it still looks like a trawler with sailes... i love Sunreef cats... like there low profile models... but this one is to much for me 🤗
I think that's what it's supposed to be. The sort of people that buy this will employ someone to sail it. It's just a place of luxury to bob around in.
What a waste of georgeous space, they really need to stuff more stuff in to the main saloon.
That thing is revolting
Optics aside: What an aerodynamic disaster! Almost more windage than sail area... like a bulky skyscraper rigged with a handkerchief.
Effectively probably mostly a power catamaran or a stationary marina appartment, not a sailboat ... except for that tiny bit of sails to fool yourself with some green conscience.
What happened to the video quality? Get a new camera phone
Really gaudy and tacky yacht. Must have been designed by a blind naval architect.
Sam Peper nah but he did get fired afterwards 🙊
This is awful. 👎 It’s a hotel with hulls 👎 ... give me a Rapido 60 or a Gunboat 55 all day over this monstrosity.
The Fontaine Pajot 58 is my dream catamaran.
The owners of this brand very ofen complain that everything simply falls apart on these yachts. the quaity of the assembly is the worst that can be. There is another Polish brand Galeon - the same story.
Same goes with russian planes:) Piece of shit they are.
Tupolev is a prime example of russian engineering:)))
Not in production for 25 years. However, Katchinsky crashed with the other dozens of memers of government in TU154 with the fault of his own not the airplane. Leaders of the countries always use the best aircrafts for themselves, so why did he use Tupolev just like other leaders of the countries do?. No more conversations with idiots.
Drink some vodka, you will last longer:)
Rush, cheap labour and innovations are the culprits. At least it floats 👍
using a mobile i phone and a crappy Chinese gimbal is not the best look for yachting world, trying to fix with software causes ghosting , which you have lots, is just going to lose you views. cough up the money and buy an osmo or something that this site needs.
by far the ugliest boat I've ever seen. The NA should give up their degree. function should always fallow forum.
it's function over form brah en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_follows_function
What a ghastly abomination, my god man would someone stop this condoCat madness.
