Sunreef Supreme 68 Power Review (2018 Edition) by NautiStyles

On Deck

Start aft at the convertible garage and hydraulic swim platform. The platform lowers to the right angle for launching the 4m Williams jet tender and a jet ski ­- drop it further and the two sugar scoops link into one giant beach zone. It feels wrong to call them sugar scoops when they’re this huge, but here we are. Storage hatches line the area, and the garage itself runs deep ­- the Williams sits inside with room to spare for another ski, rolling racks for toys, gym kit, fishing gear, even a trampoline. If you run a diesel tender, the garage can be set up with a fueling station so you can refuel on board. Clear it out and rig shade to the sides and you’ve got a legit beach club.

The side decks are seriously wide ­- big freeboard, tall above the water, and the whole boat feels beamy and house-solid underfoot. Up at the bow you step into what’s basically an outdoor nightclub ­- enormous foredeck, pole in place so you can tension shade over the whole area. The space takes loose furniture easily ­- fold-up dining tables and chairs move here from the garage when you want a dinner setting on the nose. The sound system up here is wild ­- one box is a sub, the other full range ­- so foredeck tracks hit hard. Oversized princess chairs face the view. Under a removable cover there’s a hidden hot tub. Storage forward is on a different scale ­- Sunreef’s deep nest locker dives way down with huge shelving and natural light, and could be outfitted as extra crew if you ever wanted it, otherwise it’s pure cargo space. Twin anchor lockers each side carry the windlass and bridle with additional volume below ­- great access to watch the hook come and go and keep the gear tidy.

Aft again, the cockpit keeps it simple and flexible ­- an aft settee converts into a sun-lounge when you want one more nap spot out of the sun. Exterior cameras cover the flybridge and aft quarters so you can see what’s happening all around when maneuvering or at anchor.

Flybridge next ­- long stair up and worth every step. The Supreme line runs boxier styling for maximum volume, and it pays off here. Think floating terrace you can dress how you like ­- plenty of open footprint for loose pieces and a couple of those high cocktail tables the crew keeps dreaming about. The center zone carries a dining table that comfortably hits 12 once you pull up a few extra chairs, with neat built-in rests to keep glasses steady when the boat twitches. The bar module to port is full service ­- grill, drink fridge, ice maker, sink that pops up, storage and a dedicated trash locker.

Helm on the fly is effectively centered with a captain’s chair slightly offset ­- visibility is excellent. Controls include Volvo Penta IPS joystick, Volvo engine display, shift and throttle, start-stop, VHF, Raymarine chartplotter with remote, autopilot, searchlight and horn ­- simple and readable. A windscreen forward takes the edge off wind and rain. Overhead, a heavily tinted hardtop throws shade while you can still look up through it. There’s a ladder to the mast deck for service access ­- satcom dome, radar, mast, a second dome, and spare space for more tech or styling later.  

Step inside and it’s less yacht, more floating condo ­- about 297 square metres (3,200 square feet) of liveable space. The Supreme line was built on the idea of open flow, bringing outside inside. So the aft cockpit bleeds into a massive salon that runs the full beam, with sliding doors port and starboard to keep the breeze moving right through.

The look is very Miami. Darker tones dressed with giant windows that flood the room in light so it never feels heavy. The owner leaned into it ­- Swarovski crystals embedded in trim, plush fabrics, bold choices that make the place feel like a nightclub loft.  The salon is open enough that you could double the dining area if you wanted, but as set up you get a large lounge zone to starboard with couches for six to eight, a separate dining table, and a Peloton bike tucked neatly by the window.

Port side carries a full bar ­- copper sink, wine fridge, ice maker, storage, and backlit panels that glow at night. More cabinetry runs down both sides ­- the boat is riddled with storage to the point you could spend all day opening doors. TV hides behind a panel forward, popping up with the soundbar ready above.

Forward of the salon, the interior helm station takes up the starboard side. It’s a tidy glass-fronted pod with 360-degree views and every system within reach: bilge and pump controls, watermaker, twin generator panels, Victron energy monitor, electrical breakers, Fireboy fire suppression status, and the Raymarine suite tied to Volvo IPS joystick, throttles and autopilot. For longer runs this is a great spot ­- calm, protected, with panoramic windows so you don’t miss a thing.

Head down to port and you hit the lower galley. This owner wanted the main deck clear, so the galley sits below. It’s a full spec: four-burner induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, deep drawers, copper sink, fridge and freezer with an extra freezer added, plus all the glassware storage you’d need. Venting overhead keeps the air moving. It’s practical and roomy enough to really live aboard, and this boat has been used that way ­- regular trips through Mexico and the Caribbean.

Owner's Cabin

The starboard hull is dedicated entirely to the owner, and it feels like stepping into a private loft. A broad staircase drops down into a full-beam master that stretches the length of the hull. The bed is enormous ­- easily a California king ­- with Swarovski crystal trim continuing the theme from the salon.

Alongside, there’s a settee that doubles as a workspace or a casual spot for a laptop. Three opening portholes line the hull, and with the breeze running through it really feels like a waterfront apartment.

Aft, the space opens into a dressing room that rivals many homes. It’s a proper walk-in, lined with hanging lockers, drawers, and more closet space tucked in behind. There’s even a safe built in. A vanity station sits opposite ­- it can be used for getting ready, but just as easily as a small home office.

Forward, the en suite runs the width of the hull. Dual vanities, strong natural light from another set of three windows, and a Versace-inspired detail set by the owner. Under-counter storage and open shelving keep things practical. The shower is extraordinary ­- wide, glassy, and could fit five people. It’s more like a spa room than a yacht head.

Guest Cabins

Forward in the port hull you’ve got the guest cabin and it hits you with that same Miami vibe as the salon. The whole space is peachy velvet plush, very different and kind of fun. Bedding piled high, sparkly details, and storage in places you don’t even expect. Yank on a panel and suddenly there’s a huge locker behind it. A big hull window with an opening porthole keeps it light and breezy so it never feels boxed in.

Step into the head and it’s compact but it works. Rain shower overhead, shelf for your stuff, and here’s the kicker, the fittings switch to gold instead of copper. Totally unexpected but it looks cool. Another opening porthole for light and air.

So the boat is really set up with just this guest cabin plus the crew areas. That was by design. The owner didn’t want to pack in bunks just to show numbers. This way guests get a proper room with some personality instead of being wedged into a tiny hull cabin.

Crew Accommodation

Aft by the galley you drop down into the crew quarters, and these aren’t the usual tight Sunreef bunks. You’ve got two beds, one bigger that’s good enough for a couple, plus another single. If you have a couple crewing the boat, this works perfectly. It feels more like an actual little cabin than a space someone just makes do with.

Storage is tucked everywhere. The wet head has toilet, sink, and shower curtain all in one. There’s an escape hatch too. Leave the door open and the whole area flows better so it doesn’t feel like a closet.

Up forward in the bow is the wild part, the nest. Normally it’s massive storage with shelves, but it’s so deep you could actually put bunks in there if you wanted. As it sits it’s gear stowage, but it could be another crew cabin.

For crew, this setup is a win. They’re not stuck in little cubbies. They’ve got breathing room, and that makes long trips a lot easier.

Drop down into the engine room and the first thing that hits you is the size. It’s massive for a cat of this length. You’re basically standing on top of the engines, with removable panels that lift out for service. Walk across them and you’ve got space all around to reach everything else.

There’s an Onan generator aft, with the Volvo Penta IPS drives visible beyond. Sea Recovery watermaker, engine ventilation, Fireboy suppression system, fuel filters for both genset and mains, and seacocks all clearly laid out. Twin chillers handle the air conditioning. It’s uncluttered and easy to work on, which is exactly what you want when you’re living aboard.

Performance numbers are solid. Cruising speed sits at about 15 knots, with a top end of 25 knots. Range is roughly 1,900 nautical miles thanks to the 1,780 gallon fuel capacity. Draft is 6 feet, beam a wide 34ft 5 inches, and bridge clearance 28ft. It’s plenty of boat to take you down through the islands, across to Mexico, or wherever you want without sweating the miles.

This Sunreef Supreme 68 is very much a liveaboard yacht. The galley-down layout leaves the salon wide open for lounging, dining, or turning the whole place into a dance floor, but if you’re the kind of owner who likes to cook in the heart of the action you could just as easily spec a galley up top. That’s the semi-custom flexibility Sunreef builds into every boat.

On the practical side, owning a 34-foot beam catamaran has its quirks. You’ll often need wider berths, and not every marina can slot you in easily. But the flip side is the incredible volume you get inside and on deck. Owners who base in places like Miami or the Caribbean usually find marinas with multihull slips, and once you’re tied up you’re the one with the floating condo everyone wants to be on.

For comparisons, think of yachts like the Lagoon Seventy 8 or the Silent 80. The Lagoon offers serious long-range comfort but with a more traditional look and finish. Silent’s 80 pushes hard into the solar-electric world, so you’re trading engine room punch for near-silent cruising. The Sunreef sits in the middle - Miami flair, huge social spaces, proven diesel IPS performance - which makes it attractive if you want the lifestyle of a luxury cat but don’t want to give up speed or range.

This isn’t the boat if you’re trying to run a floating hotel with endless cabins. It’s for an owner who wants a huge private space, room to bring a few friends along in comfort, and the freedom to take that floating condo anywhere from Miami to the islands. The Supreme 68 delivers massive outdoor decks, a garage that doubles as a beach club, a master suite you could happily live in full time, and systems laid out so an owner-operator or small crew can actually run it.
