You want superyacht deck space and a draft under six feet. The Sunreef 80 Power NEXT is the one model in the range where Sunreef publishes that draft figure.

Quick Verdict
- 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) of draft on a 23.8 m hull with a 12.00 m beam — the only draft figure Sunreef publishes anywhere in its power range
- Two fuel tanks of up to 8,000 l each, a very large diesel capacity on a boat whose Eco version is sold on solar-electric propulsion
- The flagship of the power range, with Eco hulls named on the shipyard's own model page as delivered through 2024 and 2025
Our Take
The 80 Power is the boat where Sunreef's shallow-draft claim stops being rhetorical. One point seven metres — five feet seven — on a seventy-eight-foot yacht with twelve metres of beam is genuinely unusual, and it is the only draft figure the yard publishes anywhere in the power range. That single number is most of the argument for buying a catamaran at this size.
The tankage is the other headline: two tanks of up to 8,000 litres each. That is sixteen thousand litres of diesel on a boat whose Eco version is sold on solar. Both things are true at once, and which boat you end up with depends entirely on how you specify it.
Sunreef has launched a lot of these — the model page lists Eco hulls delivered through 2024 and 2025 by name. It is a proven platform, and the NEXT restyle is the current drawing.

Sunreef 80 Power NEXT ( Eco-Option ) Overview
The Sunreef 80 Power NEXT is the flagship of the yard's power catamaran range and the only one of the fourteen models we cover with a published draft. Sunreef gives 23.8 m (78 ft 1 in) overall, a 12.00 m beam, 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) of draft, CE design category A, 1,600 l of water and two fuel tanks of 5,000–8,000 l each.
The layout centres on a full-beam aft cockpit, a large flybridge and what Sunreef describes as the industry's lightest battery bank on the Eco version.
The yard's power range page lists the boat as the "80 Sunreef Power NEXT", and the model page names Eco hulls delivered through 2024 and 2025.
Performance & Handling
Sunreef publishes no speed, cruise or range figure for the Sunreef 80 Power NEXT. Those rows are empty here.
The classic version carries 2 × 800 hp to 2 × 1,200 hp. The Eco version replaces them with a solar-electric package built on Sunreef's solar skin 3.0 panels, lightweight next-generation batteries and energy-saving systems; the yard publishes no motor output or battery capacity for it.
Draft is 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) — the only draft figure Sunreef publishes in the power range, and the specification that most distinguishes this boat from a monohull of similar length.
Interior & Accommodations
Twelve metres of beam on a 23.8 m hull is superyacht-scale deck area. The full-beam aft cockpit runs the width of the boat, and the flybridge is large enough for the spa pools, bars and extended sunpads Sunreef offers under the NEXT programme.
Interiors are drawn per owner across the range, and at this size the hull volumes support a full owner's suite, several guest cabins and separate crew accommodation with its own access.
Sunreef publishes no cabin or head count for the 80 Power.
Market Position
At 78 feet the Sunreef power catamaran is competing directly with flybridge motor yachts that draw twice as much and offer far less deck. The 1.7 m draft is the argument, and it is the reason this hull sells into the Bahamas and the Mediterranean shallows.
The Eco package is Sunreef's own from panel to battery integration, which is what allows the yard to quote classic and Eco versions from a single specification sheet.
Against the 100 Sunreef Power the 80 gives up length and tankage. Against the 80 Sail NEXT sailing catamaran it trades the rig for volume and pace.
Who the 80 Power NEXT ( Eco-Option ) Is For
Buy the Sunreef 80 Power NEXT if you want superyacht deck space on a hull that can follow the shallow water, and you want the version of that boat where Sunreef commits to the draft figure in writing.
Step up to the 100 Sunreef Power if you need more length and much more fuel. Step down to the 70 Power if berthing and running costs matter. Step across to the 80 Sail NEXT if you would rather the boat generated its own power under sail.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Sunreef 80 Power NEXT draw?
1.7 m (5 ft 7 in), on a 23.8 m (78 ft 1 in) hull with a 12.00 m beam. This is the only draft figure Sunreef publishes anywhere in its power range, and roughly half what a monohull motor yacht of the same length would draw. It is the specification that most justifies choosing a catamaran at this size, particularly for the Bahamas and the shallower Mediterranean.
How much fuel does the Sunreef 80 Power NEXT carry?
Two tanks, each specified between 5,000 l and 8,000 l — up to 16,000 l (4,227 US gal) in total. Water capacity is 1,600 l. That is a very large diesel capacity on a boat whose Eco version is sold on solar-electric propulsion, and it reflects how differently owners specify this hull. Decide which version you are ordering before the tanks are set.
