About Bluereef: The story of the brand

Launched in 2009, Bluereef Yachts is the result of a strategic partnership between Sunreef Yachts and CDR Yachting based in France, Bordeaux, founded by Pierre Couach, Vincent Duchatelet and Franck Reynaud.

Both companies have noticed that the demand for boats that are technically reliable, elegant and designed to navigate in comfort without a large crew is still unsatisfied. This was the reason why they decided to join forces and form a partnership. They launched a new range of yachts geared towards owners wanting to explore the Mediterranean and traverse the seas docking at small, local marinas that cannot accommodate large superyachts.

In answer to the new client priorities in search of more reliable boats in terms of volume and fuel consumption, CDR Yachting chose the Sunreef shipyard as its partner, which is renowned for its efficient and seaworthy catamarans that are logically designed to live on the sea. “With Bluereef Yachts we are going back to the origin of pleasure boating which is a true maritime navigation experience connected with the joys of discovering the world aboard one's own exclusive boat,” says Pierre Couach, CDR Yachting's President.

The Sunreef Yachts shipyard possess a fully qualified and experienced workforce, with all the know-how and modern construction technologies necessary to build yachts from advanced composites or aluminium. The shipyard will be building yachts conceived and developed by CDR Yachting. “We are thrilled at this opportunity to cooperate with such a professional team that has so many interesting ideas for truly functional yachts with state-of-the-art technology on board. These kinds of yachts are hard to come by on the market which has evolved more towards excess in many aspects. Our experience is that there are many clients that are looking for a yacht just like Bluereef,” claims Nicolas Lapp, the Vice-President of Sunreef Yachts.
