DOUBLE HAPPINESS answers a question more and more charter guests are asking: can a yacht feel modern, quiet and responsible without giving anything up? A Sunreef 60 delivered in 2024 with electric propulsion, she cruises on near-silent power, drawing on her battery banks to slip in and out of anchorages with almost no engine noise and no fumes drifting across the cockpit. For a week spent largely at anchor and under sail, that quiet changes the whole experience.
Her character is set the moment you step aboard. This is not the pale, breezy catamaran interior people expect; it is darker, sharper and more architectural, walnut and smoked surfaces, leather detailing and recessed lighting that give the saloon the feel of a contemporary apartment at sea. The main deck is open plan, the galley and bar built into the same space as the lounge and dining area, so the cook, the host and the guests all stay together rather than being separated by bulkheads.
Outside, the Sunreef 60 makes the most of its volume. The aft cockpit is a shaded outdoor dining room, level with the saloon and set for long meals in the shade. Up top, the full-width flybridge is the yacht’s best space in good weather, a sunlit lounge and dining area wrapped around the helm, open to the breeze and the view. Forward and aft there are sunpads for stretching out, and a wide swim platform brings the sea within a single step of the deck.
Four cabins sleep eight, each with its own ensuite and each finished to the same considered standard as the living spaces. The accommodation is calm and enveloping, the dark timber and soft lighting making the hull cabins feel private and restful rather than enclosed. It is an interior designed for couples and families who appreciate design detail and want their own space at the end of the day.
Under way she is smooth and undemanding. A catamaran of this beam stays level and composed, and the electric drive adds a layer of calm that a conventional yacht cannot match: conversations continue, sleep is undisturbed and the only sound at anchor is the water. She sails well in a working breeze and motors quietly when the wind drops, with a draft shallow enough to tuck into the coves that make the West Mediterranean such rewarding cruising.
The Balearics and the wider West Mediterranean are her natural stage, a cruising ground of clear water, sheltered anchorages and short, scenic passages that play directly to her strengths. A typical day leans into that quiet: a silent electric repositioning at first light, a morning at anchor off an empty cove, an afternoon under sail along the coast and an evening on the flybridge as the sun drops, the only soundtrack the water against the hulls.
DOUBLE HAPPINESS is a forward-looking choice, a yacht that pairs genuine design intelligence with quiet, low-impact cruising, and proves the two were never really in conflict. For guests who care how a yacht is run as much as how it looks, she offers both in the same confident, contemporary package.
