Zara

Overview

Operating Area: Croatia

Charter the Sunreef 50 ZARA in Croatia — a luxury catamaran that delivers superyacht refinement in a sleek, compact form. As the smallest model in the acclaimed Sunreef Yachts range, the Sunreef 50 ZARA is a versatile sailing yacht designed for exclusive escapes, luxury charters, and even long-range ocean adventures.

Her innovative bridge deck and superstructure design provide exceptional comfort, while the elegant use of teak, high bulwarks, and flowing lines highlight her timeless, contemporary aesthetic.

The spacious saloon seamlessly connects to both the inviting bow terrace and the expansive aft cockpit, which features a hydraulic swim platform. At the bow, guests can unwind in a sheltered lounge area—perfectly protected from both sun and wind. Together, these spaces create a beautifully open environment where flexibility and freedom define the onboard experience.

Below deck, the generous hull volumes allow for a bespoke interior layout that includes bright, luxurious guest cabins and a stunning master suite. The master features a walk-in dressing area, sofa, retractable TV, and an expansive en-suite bathroom—all crafted with the finest materials and attention to detail.

On the flybridge, the main helm station doubles as a social hub, complete with a fully equipped wet bar, ample lounging space, and large sun pads. Whether sailing the Adriatic coast or relaxing at anchor, the Sunreef 50 ZARA offers an unmatched blend of comfort, performance, and style.
