Founder and President of Sunreef Yachts, Lapp talks about why he was motivated to create the catamaran builder’s Eco range, which today accounts for over half of its orders.
Why is Sunreef Yachts investing in green boating?
Investing is a keyword here. We’re not only investing our efforts and time. We’re investing our resources. The reason remains always the same. We know that there’s a lot to do and someone has to lead the way. Not long ago I joined Mike Horn in Greenland during his What’s Left expedition. The changes in this area of the world illustrate how palpable climate issues can be. We understand how pressing the situation is and we understand our responsibilities as boat builders.
Many shipyards are saying what they will do in the future to make yachting cleaner. Our business is making things happen today.First, Sunreef Yachts is a niche on its own. We are an island in this industry. Our company builds electric, hybrid and hydrogen catamarans. We try our best every day to convince people to switch to sustainable alternatives and today over 50 percent of our demand is for our Eco rangeThere will always be criticism, it is natural.
The full transition can’t happen overnight, but as a company, we feel our responsibilities and do everything possible to make it happen. The interest in alternatives to fossil fuel is massive and we are optimistic.Changes in the superyacht world are not dynamic enoughOur vision of the superyacht experience is different from what you see in the industry. We are currently building two 43m electric sail yachts that will rely on solar power, electric engines, hydrogeneration and performance sails.
