Two Champions, One Hull: Messi and Alcaraz Pick the Same Sunreef 88 Ultima

· 1 min read

Lionel Messi is the owner of a Sunreef 88 Ultima, the builder's 88-foot catamaran. Carlos Alcaraz has placed an order for an identical boat and is now waiting for his to come off the line. For owners here who follow what the Sunreef yard is putting on the water, it is a notable endorsement: two of the most accomplished athletes of their generation, in two different sports, arriving at the same answer. The 88 Ultima is a twin-hull platform, and its appeal to buyers who value deck space and stability over a conventional monohull is evident in who is choosing it.
