Sunreef 80

Step aboard the Sunreef 80 and the width is the first thing you notice: twin hulls give the deck a stability that monohulls of similar length rarely match, and that flat, steady footing carries up onto the flybridge, where the dining table sits under open sky rather than tucked below deck. At 23.9 metres, this catamaran has room to spread out, and guests move between the flybridge and the main deck without ever feeling like they are stepping over one another.

From Puerto Banús, the Sunreef 80 suits a day pushed west toward Estepona, where the coastline quiets down and the beaches thin out compared with the stretch closer to town. Snorkelling near Punta de la Chullera works well from a stable platform, and cruising at a steady 14 knots keeps the crossing itself part of the day rather than a rush to get somewhere.

Four cabins sleep eight guests comfortably, which makes this catamaran a natural fit for two families sharing a multi-day route along the coast, or a smaller group who want cabin space rather than deck capacity. We talk through fuel use and a realistic APA figure before booking, since a longer coastal run burns differently than a short afternoon loop from Puerto Banús — better to know the numbers up front than adjust expectations halfway through the trip.
