Sunreef 60 Sail NEXT ( Eco-Option )

The Sunreef 60 Sail NEXT is the second boat in Sunreef's sailing range and the first at a size where the solar-electric package has real surface area to work with. Sunreef publishes 18.4 m (60 ft 4 in) overall on a 10.20 m (33 ft 6 in) beam, CE design category A, and 225 m² of living space.

The rig is a 110 m² mainsail with an 85 m² genoa. Water capacity is 800 l; fuel is specified between 1,000 l and 1,750 l depending on the build. Naval architecture and design are both in-house at Sunreef.

Sunreef's range page lists this boat as the "Sunreef 60 NEXT", the yard's current design generation — a new superstructure and saloon concept rolled out across the sailing and power ranges from 2025.

Sunreef publishes no speed, no cruise figure and no range for the 60 Sail NEXT. The performance rows on this page are empty because the yard does not provide the numbers, not because we could not find them.

What is documented is the drivetrain. The classic version runs 2 × 135 hp diesels. The Eco version substitutes electric motors with a lithium battery bank, hydrogeneration from the propellers under sail, and Sunreef's own composite-integrated solar panels — panels the yard designs and manufactures in-house and describes as the industry's lightest.

Draft is not published for the 60. Ask for it in writing if your cruising ground is shallow.

Two hundred and twenty-five square metres of living space is the number that sells this boat, and the 10.2 m beam is what delivers it. The saloon runs the full width of the bridgedeck with sightlines out both sides, and the NEXT redesign opens it further into the cockpit.

Every Sunreef is built to order, so the hull layout is yours to draw. Owners typically take a full-beam or full-hull master with the guest cabins opposite; charter-minded builds go symmetrical. Crew accommodation is separate where the layout calls for it.

Sunreef publishes no cabin or head count for the 60 — a consequence of the bespoke model rather than an omission. Have the general arrangement signed off before contract.

At 60 feet the Sunreef competes with the largest production catamarans and the smallest semi-custom ones, and it is firmly the latter. Everything is built in-house in Gdansk: hulls, joinery, and the solar panels themselves.

The Eco package is the differentiator. Most builders at this length offer electric propulsion as a bolt-on from a third-party supplier. Sunreef engineers the panels, the battery integration and the hydrogeneration as one system, which is why it can quote the same boat in classic and Eco form off a single specification sheet.

Against the 60 Sunreef Power, the sail boat trades outright volume and speed for range under sail and lower running costs.

Buy the 60 Sail NEXT if you want serious catamaran volume with a genuine shot at generator-free anchoring, and you are prepared to specify the boat rather than pick one off a lineup. It is the smallest Sunreef where the sustainability case stands on its own numbers.

Step up to the 70 if you want the same argument with more solar area and a bigger rig. Step across to the 60 Power if you would rather have the flybridge and the volume than the rig. Look elsewhere if you need a published cruise speed before you commit.
