Inside the Sunreef 80s: Unique. Elegant. Unforgettable
Over the past several months, I’ve had the pleasure—and let’s be honest, the absolute joy—of stepping aboard some of the most spectacular Sunreef 80 catamarans currently chartering in the British Virgin Islands. From dockside canapés with charismatic crews to unforgettable day sails to Jost Van Dyke, I’ve personally explored what makes these yachts so exceptional.
What I found is a collection of fully customized, uniquely designed floating villas, each with its own flair, personality, and onboard experience. If you think all catamarans are created equal—think again. The Sunreef 80s in the BVI are in a class of their own.
🛥 Why the Sunreef 80?
If you’re dreaming of space, luxury, and freedom on the water, the Sunreef 80 delivers in every direction:
-
Massive, Open Living Spaces – Wide-body layouts mean expansive salons with panoramic windows, huge flybridges, and deck spaces where up to ten people can lounge comfortably without stepping on each other’s toes.
-
Designer Interiors – No two are alike. From contemporary chic to island-inspired elegance, each yacht is tailored to its owner’s vision, offering guests something fresh and unforgettable.
-
All the Toys – Expect a full arsenal: SeaBobs, paddleboards, floating islands, e-foils, wakeboards, and snorkeling gear to transform the ocean into your playground.
-
Gourmet Dining – From three-course meals to floating brunches, each yacht boasts a professional chef ready to personalize your culinary journey.
-
Private Suites – King and queen cabins with private bathrooms, fine linens, ambient lighting, and yacht-level soundproofing.
🌟 What Sets These Yachts Apart?
Each Sunreef 80 I’ve toured is truly one of a kind. Here’s what stood out:
🛥 NAUTI NICKEL: Bold, Beautiful & Built for Fun
From the moment I stepped aboard Nauti Nickel, I knew this yacht was something special. Her modern, masculine lines and open design feel fresh and energizing. The upper deck is the showstopper: a massive flybridge with a jacuzzi, full bar, BBQ grill, and plush sun pads perfect for lounging after a day at sea.
What makes Nauti Nickel shine? The crew. During a relaxing day sail to JVD with a gourmet lunch and float-time in White Bay, Nauti Nickel’s team delivered a next-level experience. During my meet-and-greet with glasses of bubbly and a tray of perfectly plated canapés, I met a fun, engaging, and professional team that radiates hospitality. These are the kind of people who will know your cocktail order by Day 2—and have it waiting before you ask.
But what truly sets her apart? A 40-foot Rafnar chase boat with 1200HP—the only one of its kind offered with a charter catamaran in the Caribbean.
Built for speed, safety, and supreme comfort, this game-changing tender unlocks next-level freedom:
-
Reach far-flung islands in minutes
-
Split off for VIP excursions without moving the mothership
-
Explore surf spots, secret coves, or chic lunch spots in St. Barts or Anguilla
-
Enjoy dry, cushioned rides—even in open water
Nauti Nickel is redefining what a luxury catamaran charter can be. No tender. No limits. Just effortless elegance and elevated experiences.
🌴 VIVA LA VIDA: Sophisticated Serenity on the Sea
Lunch aboard Viva La Vida was an experience I won’t soon forget—a Mediterranean-inspired spread that perfectly matched the yacht’s elegant, tranquil vibe. We started with bruschetta and warm rosemary focaccia, followed by homemade fettuccine alla Norma, grilled red snapper, and a refreshing arugula salad tossed in lemon vinaigrette. The finale? A decadent, house-made tiramisu enjoyed with a sea breeze and stunning views of Peter Island.
Everything about Viva La Vida exudes understated elegance. The interior is soft, neutral, and peaceful, like stepping into a luxury beach house that just happens to float. She’s ideal for those who want to unwind, recharge, and savor the slow beauty of the BVI, one perfect bite (and bay) at a time.

📸 A Glimpse Into Paradise
Imagine starting your day with yoga on the bow, followed by a sunrise smoothie. By mid-morning, you’re anchored off The Indians, snorkeling through coral tunnels. After a floating lunch with lobster tacos and rosé, you cruise to a new bay for paddleboarding and sunset cocktails.
At night, the stars light up your dinner as soft music plays and the breeze drifts through the open saloon. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just escaping the ordinary, this is what freedom feels like.
