Christened simply Explorer Eco 40m , the newcomer showcases two sharp bows that slice through incoming waves for smoother, more efficient cruising and two sleek hulls that move through the water with less drag than the average monohull. In addition, the cat has an ultra-light composite body. As such, the multihull requires much less energy for cruising than a conventional yacht.

Speaking of energy, the vessel is powered by twin 540 kW motors that give it a maximum speed of 14 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. Sunreef adds that the cat has “transatlantic capability” but didn’t provide an exact range. The hull and superstructure are also covered in Sunreef’s proprietary “solar skin.” The system, which includes hundreds of square feet of solar panels, reportedly generates enough power to run every system on board.

“We are the only superyacht builder to have successfully developed the idea of embedding solar cells into large-scale fiberglass structures,” adds Lapp.

Further toward the stern, a huge swim platform pulls triple duty as a beach club, a launchpad for watersports, and a dive store. The platform is also fitted with huge fold-down wings that create extra real estate around the corners of the boat. At the opposite end, the foredeck lounge provides guests with incredible ocean views.

As for accommodation, the cat can sleep up to 10 guests and seven crew. The main deck is home to four generous guest cabins, while the upper deck is devoted primarily to the owner. The full-beam owner’s suite sports a super king-size bed, a giant walk-in dressing room, a scenic lounge, and a private terrace.

Sunreef says the build time for the Explorer Eco 40m will be approximately three years. Construction will be carried out at either the Gdansk shipyard in Poland or the new Ras Al Khaimah facility in the United Arab Emirates. That’s your big-ticket purchase for 2027 sorted, then.

Sunreef Yachts unveils new luxe solar electric Explorer catamaran with over 1,000 kWh in batteries

Sustainable boatbuilder Sunreef Yachts is adding a sleeker, lighter solar electric catamaran to its portfolio. The new Explorer Eco 40m is the company’s smallest electric yacht to date, but debuts with some of the most advanced technology, including Sunreef’s proprietary “solar skin”

Sunreef Yachts  was established in 2002 in Gdansk, Poland where its shipyard and office still operate alongside a newer footprint established at port in the United Arab Emirates. From its very first year, Sunreef has been pushing the boundaries of sustainable marine travel, launching the world’s first 74-foot luxury oceangoing catamaran with a flybridge.

Today, hundreds of Sunreef Yachts are sailing waters across the globe, showcasing the company’s lineup of sustainable luxury catamarans, all-electric propulsion, and advanced solar panels. That current portfolio consists of eco-friendly sailboats and massive solar electric catamarans ranging from 60 to 100 meters in length.

Today, Sunreef shared it has gone smaller, introducing a new 40m electric yacht called the Eco Explorer.

Sunreef Yacht’s latest electric catamaran is another beauty

The company’s new Eco version of the 40m Explorer offers customers a sleeker and more sustainable design in a lighter marine footprint, all without sacrificing the luxury and comfort Sunreef is known for.

Sunreef shared that it favors catamarans over traditional yacht hull designs because require less energy to propel at sea – an important factor in marine electrification. The new Eco Explorer 40m features an ultralight composite build and a state-of-the-art electric powertrain consisting of two 540kW motors and two 550 kWh battery packs – giving the electric yacht the ability to cross oceans.

To support the all-electric powertrain, the Eco Explorer 40m is also covered in Sunreef’s proprietary solar skin, which utilizes every available inch of the hull and structure’s external surface to generate free, clean energy – more than enough to power the electric yacht’s onboard systems, HVAC, AV equipment and even its jacuzzi. Per Sunreef Yachts founder and CEO Francis Lapp:

Sunreef has been at the cutting edge of sustainable yachting since its launch. We are the only superyacht builder to have successfully developed the idea of embedding solar cells into large-scale fibreglass structures. But we’re not content to let technology alone do the work. Many elements of our wonderful, custom interiors can also be sourced from recycled and renewable materials. From hemp composite to recycled fabrics -it’s all up to the owner.

Sunreef says its new Eco Explorer 40m can accommodate 10 guests aboard, who can be taken car of by a crew of seven. Its motors deliver a cruising speed of 10 knots and a top speed of 14 knots. Build times are currently three years, and the electric yachts will be built at one of Sunreef’s ports in Poland or the UAE.

Sustainability meets luxury in Sunreef’s new 40m Explorer Eco catamaran

• Environment
• Yacht industry

Luxury catamaran builder Sunreef has developed a radical new 40m explorer model, designed to take its owners further off the beaten track. Sleeker and more sustainable than ever, the new Explorer Eco 40m promises a lighter footprint wherever it goes without sacrificing the comfort for which the brand is famous. It marks a big step forward in sustainable yachting.

Catamarans are the natural choice for an owner concerned about their environmental impact. With slimmer, more efficient hulls, it takes much less energy to propel them at speed through the water. Couple the favourable physics with Sunreef’s ultralight composite build and a state-of-the-art electric powertrain, and the result is an electric boat that can cross oceans.

What is more, Sunreef’s proprietary solar skin turns every external surface of the yacht’s hull and superstructure into a power source. Taken together, it amounts to hundreds of square metres capable of generating enough power to run every system on board, from the air con and the icemakers to the Jacuzzi and the audiovisual equipment.

“Sunreef has been at the cutting edge of sustainable yachting since its launch,” said founder and CEO Francis Lapp. “We are the only superyacht builder to have successfully developed the idea of embedding solar cells into large-scale fibreglass structures. But we’re not content to let technology alone do the work. Many elements of our wonderful, custom interiors can also be sourced from recycled and renewable materials. From hemp composite to recycled fabrics - it’s all up to the owner.”

That interior that has been carefully crafted by the in-house design team at Sunreef to offer contemporary living over many hundreds of square metres. Natural materials, fine woods and an organic, curved finish create a warm, timeless interior. And with floor-to-ceiling glazing, abundant natural light and a sense of closeness to the ocean bring the refined styling to life.

From outside, the superstructure almost seems to float above the decks. Large glass surfaces and sliding doors create a rare sense of connection between the main saloon and the aft deck. Simply open the doors, and this becomes one vast indoor-outdoor social area, complete with sun loungers, al fresco dining for 10 people and refreshing spa pool with a sleek glass wall.

Enliven morning coffee or an evening drink with a magnificent view of the anchorage through the drop-down balcony to port. But the real game-changer is the huge bathing platform aft, which transforms into a beach club for lounging, a watersports launchpad or a dive shop, depending on requirements. Huge fold-down wings here broaden the platform to run round the corner of the boat.

Four large bright guest cabins fill the main deck, while the upper deck is largely devoted to the owner’s suite, creating a secluded oasis of calm. The master stateroom makes the most of the full beam of the boat, allowing a 200cm-wide super kingsize bed to take pride of place, with a huge walk-in dressing room and a sofa area that takes advantage of the view through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Step out of the sliding doors aft onto the owner’s private terrace, which is scattered with more intimate seating and lounging options. Split between shaded areas and full sun, this deck enjoys a privileged outlook through striking glass bulwarks. And when the view or the conditions demand it, you can also move to the big foredeck lounge area, which towers above the innovative wave piercing bows.

Those bows protrude mightily in front of the natural, elegant curve of the prow, and their job is simple. By slicing into the water ahead of the yacht, they take the sting out of the incoming waves. This makes for a more comfortable guest experience by reducing pitching and lessening the energy needed to propel the yacht. Alongside the twin 540kW motors with their 10-knot cruising speed, the bows are a key part of the Sunreef Explorer Eco’s transatlantic capability.

Explorer and Sunreef ambassador Mike Horn has helped to inspire the design of the new yacht in a growing collaboration with the brand. Francis Lapp joined him in Greenland as part of his “What’s Left” sailing expedition, and the experience renewed the resolve to build more sustainable superyachts. “Exploring Greenland under sail with Mike has served as a profound source of motivation for me to continue to act for a sustainable future within the yachting industry,” said Lapp. “That is why Sunreef has launched an Eco version of its 40m Explorer and is continuing to push boundaries both on emissions-free propulsion and renewable materials inside and out.”

The Sunreef Explorer Eco 40m can accommodate 10 guests in astonishing comfort, supported by seven crew members. Build time would be approximately three years, either in Sunreef’s Gdanks shipyard or its new Ras Al Khaimah facility in the United Arab Emirates.
