Let’s travel from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. Wonderful yachting destinations. Catamarans built by Sunreef Yachts are dominating the charter industry. Vessels such as Sunreef 70 sail catamaran BLUE GURU and Sunreef 70 power catamaran DAMRAK II redefine luxury at sea.
NEW POWERCAT
Now, word comes of a new entry into the marketplace by Sunreef. In particular, the Sunreef 60 power catamaran. It is a result of a growing demand for compact, impressive multihull motoryachts. This yacht has all the features of the popular 70 Sunreef Power. However, it has a 27.8 foot (8.5 meter) beam. This beam width makes her more convenient for crowded marinas. This is a popular concept for Mediterranean dockage.
Sunreef 60 Powercat
SUNREEF 60
The first unit of the 60 Sunreef Power has been commissioned by a European owner. To enumerate, it has two double cabins in the forward section, two double cabins in the starboard hull, and one double, one bunk-bed cabin in the port hull. All cabins will have private bathrooms and plenty of storage space.
INTERIOR OF POWERCAT
Mediterranean yacht charter guests will find the interior of the main deck will feature the galley and a dining area, while a mezzanine floor located in the midship will feature the internal helm station and lounge, providing access to the forward guest cabins and the flybridge.
EXTERIOR
A spacious sun deck comprises an external helm station, wet bar, dining area and a roomy sun pad, ideal for outdoor lounging in the sun. Charter models will have an option to include a Jacuzzi on the flybridge.
ACCENTS WITHIN
She features many beautiful modern and minimalistic touches. For instance, wenge and oak wood contrasts, and cream and white upholstery that has brushed stainless steel details.
The Sunreef 60 mould (mold USA) is already completed and the first unit is due for launch in late May 2012.
Are you getting plastered on beer more often than you should? A group of British researchers think you can blame it on your glass!
CURVED GLASS
According to Dr. Angela Atwood of the University of Bristol’s School of Experimental Psychology, drinking out of a curved glass makes you drink beer faster. She came to this conclusion after testing 160 social drinkers with straight and curved glasses.
Straight glass vs. Curved glass and alcohol intake
CURVE VS. STRAIGHT
When drinking beer from a curved glass, the participants seemed to drink their beer twice as fast as from a straight one.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Atwood theorized that this is due to drinkers being unable to tell when the glass is half empty when using a curved glass. This causes people to drink faster, became more inebriated, then have more difficulty judging how full the next glass is.
HAMMERED?
The cycle goes on, and the drinkers gets hammered faster than folks drinking their favorite brew from a straight glass.
THE RESULT
So, the next time you are at anchor during a Caribbean yacht charter, and your hostess offers you a cold beer in a curved glass, raise a toast to Bristol’s Dr. Atwood as you relax, wasting away in Margaritaville…

Client testimonials are critical for the industry. Superyachts cater to an exclusive clientele, so any feedback that we receive is important to pass along to other clients. We also rate yachts for their feasibility to particular groups and what they expect. For instance, if a crew is bothering the guests, we comment to the crew about remaining invisible.
“Great trip. Motor yacht LADY BEE is a great boat – spacious rooms, great entertainment lounge for kids…
Food/chef was superb – service and tableware was very impressive.
Crew was very helpful, well dressed, polite, however considering this was a 9-person crew, there were times we had to look/find someone for service.
Littledisappointed, when no safety instructions, muster points, first aid/fire information was given. We were told to read the manual provided…not really that efficient for children.
Yacht was well equipped with toys, movies, life jackets, lots of good quality towels, great dinnerware/settings – all very impressive.
Very clean, well organized, plenty of snacks, and no shortage of any provisions.
As I am considering another Med/Adriatic sea cruise in Aug 2013, I would certainly charter this boat, if it were in the area!”

High-end car buffs will tell you there are varying degrees of luxury, from Cadillac at one end of the spectrum to Bentley and Rolls Royce at the other.
SUPERYACHTS
As it is with automobiles, the same range of sophistication also is seen in the megayacht market. While, high-end US-built Trinity yacht charter vessels are drop-dead gorgeous, for example, purists will point to the century-old Dutch yards that build the Rolls-Royce of the yachting world – the Feadship yacht charter vessels.
FEADSHIP
Feadship is renowned for exquisite craftsmanship and elegant layouts. The finest materials are used to handcraft these vessels, each a unique statement of an owner’s personal taste and style.
CARIBBEAN INSPECTIONS
One of the finest modern Feadships was recently on display last week in the Caribbean, during the annual charter broker gathering in Antigua – a prelude to the Caribbean winter/spring charter season. Motor yacht HARLE first hit the charter market in 2007. The team at 1-800-YACHT CHARTERS was among the very first to inspect this yacht and interview her crew as she began her maiden charter season from the Miami Beach marina in South Florida.
SUPERYACHT HARLE – STANDOUT
