This honor recognizes groundbreaking solutions that drive progress and improve quality of life through innovation and sustainable design.
In brief
The Sunreef 43M Eco model from the Sunreef Yachts shipyard has received the German Innovation Award 2025, presented by the German Design Council. The Sunreef 43M Eco supercatamaran will be fitted with 250 m² of solar panels, of which more than 120 m² are seamlessly integrated into the structure, from the superstructure to the hull sides and masts. The electric propulsion will be complemented by a hydrogeneration system recovering energy while sailing and lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 1 MWh. The Sunreef Yachts order book includes three Sunreef 43M Eco units at an advanced stage of construction.
Revolutionizing energy efficiency at sea
The Sunreef 43M Eco is more than a superyacht — it is a bold step into the future of clean yachting. Equipped with an expansive 250 m² solar power system, including over 120 m² seamlessly integrated into the yacht’s structural elements, this vessel offers a cutting-edge approach to emissions-free cruising.
Coupled with state-of-the-art electric propulsion, this energy solution offers both ultra-silent navigation and minimal environmental impact. The design reflects Sunreef’s commitment to merging luxury with sustainability at the highest level.
Hydrogeneration and next-gen battery systems
To boost onboard energy autonomy, the yacht incorporates a hydrogeneration system, enabling the recovery of clean energy while sailing. At the heart of its propulsion system are next-generation lithium battery packs with a total capacity of 1 MWh, ensuring long-range, efficient, and noise-free operation.
These advanced technologies position the 43M Eco as a true pioneer in the evolution of green superyachts.
Three units already under construction
With three units already under construction, the Sunreef 43M Eco has proven that the demand for sustainable luxury is not a future vision — it is happening now. Sunreef Yachts continues to lead the shift toward responsible innovation in the yachting industry.
Sunreef 43M Eco is not just an award-winning yacht. It is a symbol of a new philosophy — one that redefines luxury through sustainability, silence, and smart design. The future of superyachting has arrived, and it sails on sunlight.
