Fernando Alonso has taken delivery of the first 60 Sunreef Power Eco, having commissioned the solar-electric powercat in 2021 and joined Sunreef Yachts’ cast of ambassadors, which includes tennis legend Rafa Nadal, former F1 star Nico Rosberg and explorer Mike Horn.
Alonso, 42, ordered hull one of the 60 Sunreef Power Eco and the Aston Martin driver was closely involved in the build and customisation of his catamaran, paying numerous visits to the builder’s main shipyard in Gdansk on Poland’s north coast. The 60ft yacht has a beam of 35ft-plus beam, a vast aft cockpit with a swim platform and aft garage, a full-beam bow terrace and generous flybridge.

Following delivery, the record holder for most F1 races enjoyed a yachting holiday with friends and family on board his luxury Category A catamaran, which is fitted with Sunreef’s unique ‘solar skin’ system on the hulls, superstructure and hard top.
Featuring electric motors, an energy-saving air-conditioning system and a custom-engineered battery bank, the eco-friendly catamaran offers a continuous supply of clean power for a smooth e-motoring experience.

“The 60 Sunreef Power Eco gave me exactly the yachting experience I was looking for. Long, fume-free and quiet cruises let you enjoy the seas on a whole new level. This yacht has some amazing technology that cannot be found anywhere else,” said Alonso, who recorded his 100th F1 podium finish in this year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
“On board, all that matters is peace of mind, fresh air and good company. Yachting should not be about ego. For me, it’s about sharing good moments and being respectful towards the environment.”

The 60 Sunreef Power Eco is the third powercat from the Eco range and follows the 80 Sunreef Power Eco and 70 Sunreef Power Eco models, which had world premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, represented by hulls three and one respectively.
In late October, the 80 Sunreef Power Eco had its US debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show with the display of represented by hull two, Sol. Sunreef’s dealers in Asia include Hong Seh Marine in Thailand and Lee Marine in Thailand.
