US speed champion orders Sunreef 88 Ultima

Poland’s Sunreef Yachts is to build a Sunreef 88 Ultima catamaran for Tim Ciasulli, former US national and world offshore powerboat champion holder of four world speed records. The hybrid luxury super cat will be the first US-sold Ultima yacht, Sunreef says.

With catamarans ranging from 44ft-88ft, the Ultima line is Sunreef Yachts’ latest range, blending speed, luxury and energy efficiency.

“Who else builds a yacht that has almost 400m² (4,200ft²) of living area where you can cruise responsibly, economically, and sustainably on solar powered electric motors and go 35mph on traditional engines when you need to?,” Ciasulli says. “I’m thrilled to be a part of this game changing exciting project where I can have both speed and sustainability on a huge platform.”

With a racing career spanning four decades, over 300 races and more than 100 victories, Tim Ciasulli has a unique expertise in the domain of high-performance multihulls. The passionate yachtsman is also a serial yacht owner, having owned five monohull superyachts.
