Sunpower Yachts 44' Solar-E 44 VIP 2022

From a dinghy or floating dock, you can board her on one of the 2 swim platforms that catamarans provide. In between the hulls, there is an overhead space ideally suited for dinghy storage, with protection for it by the deck above. The steps take you up to the aft deck which has a long settee and tables for entertainment or early morning breakfasts. Another set of molded in steps will take you to the flybridge. Arriving there you will have a bird’s eye view of your surroundings. There is a fully equipped helm as well as seating and tables for guests. An excellent area for socializing. Back down to the aft deck, you may enter the galley and main salon area through wide glass doors that, when opened enhance the outdoor “feel” of the interior.

Entering you have the galley to port and starboard, fully equipped for cooking and entertaining. Forward of the Galley area the lower helm is to port and a dinette area to starboard.

In this entire space we have a 360-degree panoramic view of our surroundings. In fact, you can stand on the bow and watch people sitting on the aft deck having lunch. Best hurry… don’t want to miss a meal!
