60 Sunreef Power Review (2021 Edition) by NautiStyles

On Deck

Kick things off at the stern, where the 60 Sunreef Power really leans into its party piece. The hydraulic swim platform isn’t just a swim platform. It’s your tender lift and your beach club all in one. It drops into the water to let you slide the tender on or off using removable chocks, and when it's up and dry, it becomes an extension of the aft deck hangout space. Off to the side, there’s a garage that can hold a jet ski or just serve as a catch-all for water toys. This being a semi-custom build, you can kit it out however suits your setup.

The sugar scoops sweep in nicely toward the cockpit and have that extra step that makes boarding feel smooth and easy. Big pop-out cleats give you proper hardware to tie off, and once you're up on the aft deck, there’s a full set of gear to keep you in control when docking stern-to. You’ve got electric winches on either side, proper capstans and massive stainless cleats that look ready to handle just about anything. Also tucked away is a rain shower in a spot that actually makes sense. Step out of the sea, rinse off, hang out in the open cockpit and dry in the sun before heading inside.

Walkways along the sides are wide and really well protected. You get sunken bulwarks at midship which keep your views from the salon totally open. Railings are high enough that you feel secure walking forward, but not so bulky they block the line of sight. You can tell this has been thought through for real use. It just feels safe. And then at the bow, you don’t get trampolines like on the sailing Sunreefs. Instead, there’s a completely solid deck up front. You could throw some beanbags up here and make it a sun deck. The lifelines are tall and sturdy and look removable if you wanted to open things up even more.

Under the deck hatches, you’ll find two crew or storage cabins port and starboard. One was decked out with a mattress, head and wardrobe space, plus extra cushion storage, and actually felt bigger than expected once you’re inside. It’s tight getting in but totally doable. You could use them for extra crew, extra guests or just gear. Back on deck, the anchor setup lives in a central locker with twin windlasses, remote controls, a snubber line and a washdown hose. Rubber-lined compartments help cut down on noise from the chain clatter. Everything’s easily accessible and very well organised.

Climbing up to the flybridge, things get serious. This space is enormous. You’ve got seating for at least 12, a convertible backrest that switches directions depending on where the party’s pointing, and built-in storage that runs deep. There’s a full-on outdoor bar with a drinks fridge, ice maker and a big sink. The whole bar feels ready for serious sundowners. There’s even a chilled wet locker you could fill with ice and load with bottles. Proper first world problem solved.

Loose seating with low centers of gravity gives you comfort without the wobble. The flybridge has a big fixed table that lifts and drops depending on how you want to use it. There's a full outdoor kitchen tucked into the bar, usually with a grill and proper storage. Above it all, you get a big sunroof, integrated lights and ladder access to the hardtop. Life rafts are mounted discreetly and cupholders are worked into nearly every surface. The view from the upper helm is outstanding and the whole space works beautifully for guests, crew and everyone in between.

Stepping inside the main salon of the 60 Sunreef Power, the first thing that hits you is how open and bright it feels. No mast in the middle means no compression post breaking up the space, and that makes a surprising difference. The galley’s been positioned down below which leaves this whole upper level free for lounging, dining and social time. It’s clearly set up with charter in mind, but it still feels cozy and private.

The sliding glass doors open wide to link the aft deck with the interior, and with the forward door open too, you get a lovely through-breeze. The color palette is soft and elegant with warm woods and neutral tones that feel more beach house than boat. Lighting is subtle and tucked away, and the whole space has a polished, low-key luxury vibe that Sunreef does really well.

There’s a proper dining table to port that comfortably seats eight, maybe ten in a squeeze, and it’s positioned right where it should be for indoor meals with a view. Opposite is a long settee with storage everywhere you look. The cabinetry is full of surprises too. One drawer pops open to reveal a wine fridge. Another hides all the tableware. There’s a little service bar with a sink, bottle racks, and spots for coffee service or afternoon cocktails. All of it is laid out in a way that actually makes sense, especially if you’re hosting or chartering.

Forward and starboard, there's a lower helm station built into the front of the salon. It’s neatly done and includes everything you’d expect for full control from inside. You've got throttle and shift levers, engine displays, twin generator controls, watermaker panel, fire suppression, bilge systems, and a big central screen running the onboard management software. Everything is arranged cleanly and is super accessible.

The sunken bulwarks outside mean you’re not staring at a wall of fiberglass when you look out of the windows. Instead, you can actually see the waterline, which makes a big difference. 

Owner's Cabin

Heading midships on the port side, you step straight into the owner’s suite and right away it feels like a retreat. It’s spacious, warm and very tastefully done with wood finishes that add a soft, residential feel. The king-size bed is positioned athwartships and has these stylish built-in nightstands on either side with soft lighting tucked behind. There’s even space for a little desk or vanity with a pouf underneath so you can sit down and actually use it.

They’ve used mirrored panels forward to help visually double the space and it works. It’s a signature move on Sunreef’s part and it gives the room a much bigger feel without going over the top. Storage is generous too. You’ve got drawers, bedside cubbies and a full walk-in wardrobe forward. The layout splits the closet into his and hers sides or however you want to divvy it up. There’s loads of room for hangers, shelves and tucked-away extras. All softly lit and very nicely finished.

The ensuite is forward again through the wardrobe and it’s really something. The whole bathroom has this contemporary styling that doesn’t try too hard. Just clean lines, warm tones and a few touches of polish. The shower is a beast. Easily big enough for two, possibly even three if you’re stacking vertically. There’s a proper bench, a rain shower head overhead and handhelds as well. The wooden detailing continues in here with recessed storage behind panels and shelving hidden out of sight. It all feels carefully thought through and very usable. If you're living aboard or chartering, this is the kind of cabin you’ll be happy to call home base.

Guest Accommodation

This 60 Sunreef Power is set up with three guest cabins, which works out beautifully for private use or chartering with a bit of flexibility. Each cabin is ensuite, and while the layouts vary slightly, the overall feel is consistent throughout. They're bright, comfy and thoughtfully arranged without cramming everything in.

On the starboard side forward, you’ve got a guest cabin with a queen-size bed and plenty of surrounding storage. Drawers under the bed, a hanging locker, and a few clever compartments tucked into the cabinetry. The finishes follow the same warm wood vibe as the master, and the detailing holds up just as well. Even little things like lipped countertops to stop your phone from sliding around underway. That sort of thing always feels like a small win.

The ensuite bathroom here is smartly arranged too. You’ve got the sink and vanity to the inboard side, the toilet outboard, and a fully enclosed shower that’s plenty big enough for one. There’s a rain shower plus handheld and even a bit of storage in the wall panel.  

Port side forward, there’s a second guest cabin that mirrors the one on starboard. It’s set up slightly differently in terms of the locker configuration, with shelves instead of hanging space, but the feeling is still very open. And again, you've got that private ensuite tucked in with good headroom and decent elbow space.

Crew Accommodation

The crew accommodation is split between two different areas, giving flexibility depending on how you’re using the yacht. Starting forward, in the bow, there are two optional forepeak cabins set into the hulls. At first they look compact, but when inside, you quickly realise there’s more space than expected. Each has a wet head setup with a toilet, sink, and shower space that’s definitely workable. One even has a queen-size berth with some forward storage and a good-sized hatch overhead. That space could easily double as extra toy storage or even an overflow cabin when needed.

Down aft on the port side is the main crew cabin, which the team didn’t originally plan to show because the crew were still onboard. But in classic NautiStyles fashion, they popped the camera in anyway for a quick peek. It’s surprisingly spacious for a yacht this size. Two single bunks, ensuite head, and a wardrobe area right next to the galley and laundry zone. That layout makes total sense on a charter boat or for private use with liveaboard crew. It’s comfortable enough for extended time aboard and doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

There’s also laundry tucked neatly into that aft section. Full-size, stackable washer and dryer units that are easy to access.

The engine room is accessed through deck hatches, and once you’re down there, you can actually see all the way through to the other side. It’s not a tight squeeze either. You’ve got clear views of the wire runs and hose runs, with everything nicely exposed so there’s no guesswork when it comes to repairs. There’s even an escape hatch you can spot from inside, just in case. Super handy.

Over on starboard, you’ll find the rudder system and a hydraulic pump tucked in just above the bilge. The floor panels lift up easily, so you can step right down into the lower section. The Cummins generator is mounted a bit higher up on a shelf, while the main engines sit just below that same panel. These give a top speed of 22 knots, cruising at 18 knots, with a range of up to 3,000 nautical miles. When it’s time for service, you just lift the shelf out and get solid access to the engine bay. It’s a V-drive setup, straight shaft, so it’s pretty straightforward mechanically.

They’ve also gone to town with proper sound shielding. The entire compartment is wrapped with thick insulation, which should cut down engine noise nicely when cruising. 

Running a Sunreef 60 Power like this one brings a unique ownership profile. You’ve got some impressive energy savings right off the bat thanks to the solar panel integration. This boat is designed to cruise using stored solar energy, so you can expect your fuel costs to be seriously reduced. Depending on how much you use the engines and generators, you could be looking at a savings of anywhere from 7-12%. That’s real money if you’re spending long periods on board or heading out often.

Now, it’s worth noting that berthing this catamaran will usually cost more than a monohull of similar length. The beam is significantly wider, which means you’ll likely need a more expensive slip in most marinas. Plus, even though it can be owner-operated, many owners will still want at least one or two crew, especially if it’s used for charter or longer-range cruising. So crew costs come into the picture, but they’re offset to some extent by the lower fuel burn and potential charter revenue if you go that route.

For comparison, a couple of rival yachts worth considering are the Silent 62 Closed and the Prestige M8. Both also lean into that efficiency-meets-comfort lifestyle, but the Sunreef brings its own flavor of luxury cat cruising. With the right balance of energy savings, smart layout, and semi-custom options, the ownership math might just work in your favor.

The Sunreef 60 Power catamaran is full of great surprises, from its massive solid foredeck and sunken walkarounds to that flybridge that just keeps going. There’s a sense of space everywhere you turn, helped along by clever design touches like a galley-down layout, huge lounging zones, and loads of hidden storage that somehow always goes deeper than you expect. It’s got a proper beach club vibe at the back, a solid bow up front that feels like its own terrace, and a flybridge big enough for full-on entertaining. The three-cabin setup gives guests real comfort without crowding, with a standout full-beam owner’s suite and two generous doubles. Add in the crew areas, the roomy tender garage, and all the semi-custom options Sunreef is known for, and this 60-foot power cat feels like a floating villa with a fun streak.
