HU-LYSSE

HU-LYSSE — Sunreef 80 Eco Delivered new and built for charter, Hu-Lysse belongs to one of the most recognisable catamaran lines afloat: the Sunreef 80 Eco. The appeal of the platform is well known to anyone who has spent time aboard a large multihull — volume without bulk, stability at anchor, and deck spaces that spread out rather than stack up. Accommodation is arranged in four cabins, each with a double bed, for a total of eight guests. The layout suits the way most groups actually charter: two families sharing, or a group of friends where nobody is relegated to the lesser cabin. The interior is contemporary and restrained, with the kind of finish that reads as considered rather than showy. Life on board gravitates outdoors. The living areas are generous enough that guests naturally disperse — one group at the alfresco dining table, another stretched out on deck, someone else back inside in the cool. That easy circulation is what separates a well-conceived catamaran from a merely large one. Her cruising programme covers genuinely contrasting seasons. Summers run between Corsica, the French Riviera and Monaco, and the Provence coast towards Marseille, with Baltic itineraries in Denmark, Norway and Sweden also on the calendar. Winters move to the Caribbean: Bermuda, the Dominican Republic, the Leeward and Windward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, and Turks and Caicos. A straightforward proposition, competently executed — a new Sunreef 80 Eco for eight guests, in waters worth the crossing.
