As you step into the cockpit — which seems like a small word for what seems more like a sprawling terrace offering plenty of space. 

And that could not be further from the truth, as this impressive vessel measures 70 feet in length and a whopping 30 feet wide.

Beneath the expansive flybridge overhang — which completely shades the cockpit — there is a large teak dining table for up to 10 guests. There are virtually no limits up to the number of guests you could invite onboard this Sunreef.

There’s a spacious counter under the stairs to the port side and a lounge pad to starboard, which seems like a great place to relax with a book in hand while underway. And because of how vast her cockpit is, she has an incredible amount of storage for your cleaning material supplies/safety equipment, and water toys. 

Inside awaits a spectacular surprise.

One of the things you are going to love is the large open space, boasting unusually high vaulted ceilings

But what you might love even more is the raised lounge which overlooks the saloon.

Another great thing, huge windows let in an inordinate amount of natural light, freshening and brightening the entire space easily. Whether you are standing or sitting in the main living areas of this Sunreef 70, you’ll always feel connected to the water.

Set within this bright and airy loft is a dining room area that seats up to 8-10 people easily. It is also conveniently located across from the widescreen LCD TV.

Overall, the high-ceilings and raised lounge overlooking the saloon, make the saloon — like the cockpit — seem exceedingly spacious.

As for the design of the interior itself, it has a modern yet neutral look — thereby providing you with a wonderful “blank canvas” for you to decorate and design to your taste.

The space is finished in a combination of genuine Canaletto walnut wood and cream Alcantar.

And if you are wondering about the galley: it’s a fully equipped galley with a very large fridge that will keep you well stocked up on food for your journey.

Here’s a quick run-down of all the kitchen equipment: a four-zone induction cooker, microwave oven, two electric ovens, large refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, wine chiller, ice dispenser, a bar-top, and of course, more storage. Everything you need to entertain family and friends. And everything you could need or want for spending weeks at sea.

Now, if you are going to spend weeks, perhaps months, at sea, then you will appreciate the amount of additional storage found throughout the saloon.

We discovered that much of the furniture doubles up as storage.

And what’s more, there are several vast hidden storage compartments in the saloon floor for carrying additional supplies — whether it be more tools, safety gear, food, and equipment you might need while at sea. 

Typically, there are two types of people. Those who dream of exploring, and the people who do.

And with this Sunreef 70 you can get ready to go anywhere.

From the saloon, you’ll easily make your way up to the raised pilot-house (located mid-ship). While the visibility is not the absolute best compared to the flybridge, it is good enough to take a shift at the helm underway.  

Set behind a sweeping windshield and to port, you find the internal navigation station — neatly organized with access to your electronics equipment. You’ll appreciate the large touch screens and multiple redundancies.

Located directly behind the helm station, and easily accessible, are steps (which can be closed off by a glass hatch) leading to the favorite spot from which to helm the boat — the flybridge helm station (more on that later).

Now, there are two main reasons why I liked this unique, open-concept, raised-pilothouse setup.

First, to starboard, is a welcoming and cozy pilothouse lounge area — surrounded by bookshelves — which overlooks the saloon dining area and galley. In my opinion, this is a standout feature.

To my surprise, as I made myself comfortable in this lounge area, I caught myself enjoying the seascape that was pouring in from the aft section of the boat.

You see, because of the open-concept loft-layout of the saloon and pilothouse, I was able to enjoy the views of the water through the large saloon windows — all the way from the raised pilothouse lounge. Truly spectacular how Sunreef has managed to accomplish this.

Again, if you love open-concept designs, then this raised-pilothouse situated within the open saloon would be a hit with you.

Secondly, because this pilothouse is raised, it frees up the forward main-deck. Which makes for a much larger master cabin. Speaking of which, let’s head down towards it.

From the raised-pilothouse, you take a few steps down toward the fore, past the 32-bottle wine chiller, through the private forward passageway, and you will find the unusually large owner’s cabin.

How large exactly?

Well, according to Power & Motoryacht magazine the “master stateroom that feels unmistakably like it should be on a mega-yacht.” And I tend to agree.

Because this super-yacht-like master cabin takes nearly full advantage of her 30-foot beam. What’s more, the master is surrounded by a wonderful panoramic sea view  (thanks to stunning 180-degree large panoramic windows which surround most of the stateroom). 

And, to be exact, she offers 13m2 of room which is tastefully furnished with a king-size bed, desk, sofa, nightstands, an LCD TV, and a tremendous amount of storage provided by two closets and numerous cabinets.

It’s probably fair to say that you could bring everything with you. As would be the case on a mega-yacht.

Having said that, and in my opinion, the wow-factor in this mega-yacht sized master suite comes in its multi-level layout.

To port, you will find a set of back-lit stairs leading into the port-side hull where you will find your private ensuite.

This multi-level setup — with your master on the main deck, and ensuite below deck — definitely adds to and enhances that super-yacht sensation.

Now, as for the accommodation for your friends and family…
