ABOVE & BEYOND

Above & Beyond — Sunreef 80 sailing catamaran, Greece A Sunreef 80 is one of the rare yachts that lets you sail without giving up an inch of space, and Above & Beyond makes the case plainly: 340 m² of living area spread across a platform that stays level, quiet and unhurried under sail. Her most recent refit was completed in 2023. The interior works in a deliberate black-and-white palette — graphic, contemporary, and easier to live with than the photographs suggest, because the volume does the talking. Aft, the cockpit opens directly into the saloon, so the two read as a single room with the horizon on three sides. It is the natural place for lunch, and the natural place to stay long after the plates have gone. Accommodation is for eight guests in four en-suite cabins: an owner's cabin and three cabins with queen-size beds, each sleeping two. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The hydraulic aft platform lowers to become a beach club at water level — the kind of arrangement that turns a swim stop into an afternoon. Up top, the flybridge is the yacht's social centre of gravity, with a dining area, Jacuzzi, wet bar, barbecue and sun pads, all of it under open sky. Food is a genuine strength aboard rather than a talking point. The galley has been recognised repeatedly on the Mediterranean charter circuit, including a first place in the Platinum category at MEDYS 2022, first place in the Diamond category at EMMYS 2023, and further Diamond-category podium finishes in 2024, among them a first place for tablescaping. The crew's attention to how a meal is served is, quite literally, award-winning. For the water, there are Seabobs, paddleboards, wakeboards and snorkelling equipment, alongside a broader selection of toys suited to guests of every age. Cruising the Greek islands.
