The Electric Revolution Has a Flagship
Why Marie-Joseph is one of the most significant brokerage opportunities on the market today
There are yachts that impress with their size. Others with their craftsmanship or pedigree.
Then there are the rare few that represent a genuine milestone in the evolution of yachting.
Marie-Joseph belongs firmly in the latter category.
As Hull No.1 of the groundbreaking Sunreef 80 Eco range, this is far more than a 23.99-metre luxury catamaran. It is the yacht that launched Sunreef’s vision for electric luxury cruising, personally commissioned and owned by the company’s founder, Francis Lapp, as both a tribute to his parents and a showcase for the future of sustainable yachting.
More Than Hull Number One
In the automotive world, collectors seek the first Ferrari of a new model.
In aviation, prototype aircraft become part of history.
The same principle applies here.
Marie-Joseph isn’t simply the first Sunreef 80 Eco to leave the yard. She became the reference yacht used by Sunreef to demonstrate the capabilities of its revolutionary electric catamaran platform, making her an important chapter in modern yacht design.
That provenance cannot be recreated.
Luxury Without Compromise
Step aboard and it’s immediately apparent that sustainability hasn’t come at the expense of luxury.
The expansive flybridge provides panoramic dining and relaxation spaces beneath an elegant hardtop, while the vast aft cockpit flows seamlessly into a contemporary main saloon through full-width sliding glass doors. Throughout the yacht, natural light, clean architectural lines and carefully chosen materials create an atmosphere that feels more like a contemporary waterfront residence than a traditional sailing yacht.
Accommodation includes four beautifully appointed guest cabins, together with separate crew quarters, allowing owners to enjoy extended cruising with family and friends in complete comfort.
The Quiet Luxury of Electric Cruising
Much has been written about electric propulsion, but the real experience is difficult to appreciate until you’ve stepped aboard.
There is an absence of vibration.
Less mechanical noise.
A greater connection with the sea.
Powered by twin electric motors, the Sunreef 80 Eco delivers a remarkably refined cruising experience while demonstrating one of the industry’s boldest approaches to sustainable yacht design.
Rather than treating green technology as an afterthought, the entire yacht was conceived around the concept.
Built for the Mediterranean
Currently cruising the Mediterranean, Marie-Joseph looks perfectly at home among crystal-clear anchorages and secluded bays.
Her generous 11.54-metre beam provides exceptional stability and extraordinary outdoor living spaces, whether enjoying breakfast at anchor, cocktails on the flybridge or dinner beneath the stars.
Unlike commissioning a new yacht, she represents an opportunity to step aboard a proven platform today.
A Yacht That Changed the Conversation
The brokerage market is filled with beautiful yachts.
Very few, however, can claim to have influenced the future of yacht design.
Marie-Joseph isn’t simply an elegant sailing catamaran.
She is the yacht that demonstrated what electric luxury cruising could become.
For buyers looking beyond conventional ownership, she offers something increasingly rare: genuine provenance, technological significance and a place in the story of modern yachting.
Years from now, when the history of sustainable superyachts is written, Marie-Joseph won’t simply appear in the timeline.
She helped create it.
