The prestigious Polish shipyard, Sunreef Yachts, annually showcases its spectacular yachts at the Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes on the fabulous French Riviera. This year’s edition of the show was a very special one, as it was marked by Sunreef’s 10th anniversary. The company celebrated, in full bliss, at the amazing Old Port of Cannes where no less than four new luxury catamarans were exhibited this year: the 60 Sunreef Power charter yacht EWHALA, the 70 Sunreef Power charter yacht SKYLARK, the Sunreef 82 Double Deck sailing yacht HOUBARA and the Sunreef 70 charter yacht ANINI.

On the 14th of September a superb birthday party was held with the presence of a most honorary guest, President Lech Wałęsa, himself. Mr Wałęsa, a truly living legend, is Poland’s first President elected in free, post-communist elections, a symbol of the fight for democracy and a winner of a Peace Nobel Prize. Deeply devoted to the Shipyard of Gdansk, where Sunreef Yachts is based, he is a symbol of all political and social changes in Poland in the 80’s and 90’s.
