Design and Construction
The Sunreef 102 is a single-masted cat-rigged cruising catamaran with an overall length near 31 meters and a beam of 12 meters, giving the platform extraordinary volume across two hulls and a central bridgedeck. The lead example was built in aluminium, a construction choice that separates this series from the carbon and natural-fiber paths the marque later explored on smaller lines. Displacement and tankage figures vary across sources — published displacement ranges from about 32 to 120 tonnes and fuel capacity from roughly 14,000 liters to two tanks of 6,990 liters each — so the specific hull's papers should be treated as the authority. With a 2.5-meter draft and an "other" keel type, the hull form favors sheltered anchorage access and charter-style cruising over hard-weather keel performance. The interior arrangement was submitted to the owner's suggestions for a practical vessel with many storage places ensuring high navigation autonomy, which explains the unusually deep provisioning and crew separation seen below.
Rig and Handling
All sail maneuvering can be done from the flybridge navigation station using hydraulic winches, bow thrusters, and magic trim installed by the mast, so the boat can be worked short-handed from a single elevated helm flybridge sail control. The sloop rig carries a 280-square-meter mainsail and a genoa of roughly 185 to 199 square meters depending on the source, with a 350-square-meter gennaker and a 550-square-meter spinnaker available for downwind passage work. Mast height is quoted at 40 meters. Two 455-HP Cummins diesel engines provide a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum of 14 knots under power, with fuel capacity sources differing as noted above.
Accommodations
The Double Deck name reflects a main deck and a lower beam-wide level three steps down, linked by a central layout that splits the main floor into a living room with day kitchenette and bar to port and the owner cabin to starboard. The owner's suite holds a centrally placed king bed facing large side windows, a mattress for two along the windows, a private ensuite with teak floor and massage shower, and a small fridge by the bed. Horizontal mirrors line the walls to double the sense of space, while wide side windows and six-part hull windows keep the interior luminous. The port hull carries two double cabins with twin beds plus two VIP cabins aft with convertible double beds and Pullman berths, accommodating up to 12 guests. The starboard hull is dedicated to four crew in a captain cabin aft and two forward cabins, served by a full midships galley with induction cooking, side-by-side fridge and freezer, wine cellar, and industrial dishwasher. The flybridge adds a 50-square-meter sunning and dining area for twelve with a central navigation station, captain seat for three, and a fully equipped bar, reached by spiral stairs from the 50-square-meter cockpit that hides the tender garage beneath its long sofa.
Equipment and Systems
The yacht's entertainment and control systems are extensive for its era. A Bose hi-fi runs through saloon and flybridge, a 40-inch LCD with DVD anchors the main multimedia, and all cabins use NAVYBUS intelligent light dimmers with wireless panels. Navigation pairs Raymarine and Sailor satellite communication at the lower helm, while the flybridge repeats command through hydraulic winches and bow thrusters. Two tenders are carried: a 5.2-meter on the aft platform and a second in the garage under the cockpit. Water toys include a Laser Vago, electric sea bobs, diving gear, and a kayak. The main galley and bar fridges, ice makers, and wine cellars support long autonomous charter periods. Water capacity is also cited differently across references, from 1,560 per tank to 3,120 total liters.
The Verdict
The Sunreef 102 is a superyacht-scale catamaran conceived for owner or charter use with a clear division between guest luxury and crew function. Its Double Deck layout multiplies usable living space beyond a conventional bridgedeck, and the flybridge-centered sail handling makes a 102-footer manageable from one station. The aluminium build and in-house Polish design give it a coherent identity, though discrepant published weights and tankages mean each hull must be surveyed on its own figures. For a buyer wanting volume, autonomy, and a proven discontinued model, it remains a distinctive platform.
Pros
- Double Deck layout with 50 m² cockpit and flybridge for exceptional entertaining space
- Full guest and crew separation across port and starboard hulls
- Flybridge hydraulic sail control with bow thrusters for short-handed command
- Deep provisioning: full galley, wine cellars, large water and fuel capacity
Cons
- Published displacement and tankage figures conflict across sources
- Aluminium construction predates later carbon and eco upgrades from the builder
- 2.5 m draft and "other" keel limit offshore versatility versus performance keels
