Meet ‘Petite Belle,’ a New 94-Foot Catamaran Offering Beauty and Space


With a name that is French for “little beauty,” Petite Belle isn’t at all what you expect. The newly delivered 94-foot Sunreef catamaran, which has just been listed for sale with Northrop & Johnson for €16.5 million (about $19.3 million), offers generous living quarters spanning nearly 6,000 square feet. That puts it on par with a large brownstone in New York City.
The turn-key cat, the fifth hull in the 100 Sunreef Power series, may not be that petite, but it is beautiful. Guided by the principle that less is more, the interior decor showcases a combination of natural fabrics, soft wood tones, and Italian veneer finishes. The result is a living environment that embodies quiet luxury. High-end furniture further adds to that understated yet upscale feel.
At the heart of the spacious vessel is a sprawling main salon that can be fully opened to the full-beam aft cockpit to create an indoor-outdoor flow. Panoramic glazing also blurs the lines between the interior and exterior worlds. Below deck lies an owner’s suite and four en suite guest cabins, which can collectively sleep up to 10.

Outside, the star is the innovative “ocean lounge,” which is essentially a walk-around beach club with fold-down bulwarks, storage for water toys, and an aft garage capable of holding two Jet Skis. (The Jet Skis and a Williams SportJet 625 tender are included in the sale.) Other exterior highlights include a plush bow lounge with sun pads, an expansive flybridge with a Jacuzzi, a waterside dining area, a luxe bar, and a sunbathing space.
Designed for both European and Stateside cruising, Petite Belle is powered by twin 1,200 hp MAN engines that give her a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The multihull also has 13 kWp of solar panels built into the hardtop and superstructure, meaning it can generate clean, green energy at sea. Furthermore, 138kWh batteries allow the yacht to operate in “silent night mode,” powering the hotel load with next to no decibels.
The flybridge is equipped with a Jacuzzi.

“With her impressive build spec, advanced features, and expansive design, Petite Belle stands out as one of the most exciting multihull offerings on the market today,” Lidija Jakovljevic, marketing manager for Europe at Northrop & Johnson, said in a statement.
Broker Gabriele Modica Ragusa holds the listing and can arrange private viewings in the south of France.
