ANNETTE2 is a Sunreef sailing catamaran delivered in 2017, a wide and stable platform built for the clear, sheltered water of Indonesia and South East Asia. She looks after eight guests across four cabins with a crew of three, and her appeal is immediate: the space and steadiness of a modern cruising catamaran, a light filled main deck open to the sea on three sides and an easy, unhurried pace under sail. For a family or a group of friends who want to explore quiet islands and shallow anchorages in comfort, she reads as calm, sociable and genuinely relaxed from the first day aboard.
Her point of difference is the catamaran format and the way the Sunreef yard uses it. Two hulls set wide apart give her a level, reassuring motion and a shallow draft that opens up the coves and reefs a deeper monohull has to pass by, while the broad beam carries far more living space than her length suggests. She moves quietly under sail, settles flat at anchor and sits close to the water, so a charter aboard her feels connected to the sea rather than held above it, an unhurried way to drift between islands with the whole party kept together.
Life in the open air is the heart of the yacht. The shaded cockpit sits a few steps above the water with soft bench seating around a dining table, the natural gathering point for a long lunch and for drinks as the light drops over the bay, open to the breeze yet out of the midday sun. Forward, the wide foredeck and the trampolines between the hulls give a sun soaked place to lie out over the water away from the party, and the low freeboard puts swimming, paddleboards and the tender within easy reach for a day of exploring the coast. There is always a comfortable corner to be found, in the sun or out of it.
Inside, the main deck is bright and uncluttered, finished in pale timber that keeps the space open and full of light. Glass runs along three sides so the saloon stays connected to the water from every seat, gathered around a comfortable sofa and a dining table that reads as one easy, flowing room. The galley sits to one side, open to the saloon and the cockpit so the crew stay part of the day, and a dedicated navigation station keeps the working heart of the yacht neat and apart. The finish is soft and natural throughout, light joinery against pale upholstery, a settled look that feels calm by day and warm after dark.
Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests, set low in the two hulls where the motion is gentlest and the water is close through the hull windows. The master cabin takes a private, well lit position with a wide bed, warm timber and its own bathroom, while the guest cabins, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party. It is a flexible plan that suits a family or a group of friends, every cabin lined in the same pale timber as the main deck and finished to the same easy, comfortable standard.
Under way she is calm and forgiving, a steady cruising catamaran that holds a gentle pace under sail and settles level at anchor at the end of a long day. Her natural ground is Indonesia and the wider water of South East Asia, the islands, reefs and quiet bays that reward a shallow draft and an unhurried schedule, exactly the kind of cruising her format was made for. Stable, light and sensibly crewed, ANNETTE2 is a relaxed and family friendly way to charter the clear water of the region with the whole party kept close.
