Shades of Grey Description
If you had to describe the Sunreef 80 SHADES OF GREY in one sentence, you would say that this Sunreef 80 impresses with its clean, elegant design and is truly no ´grey mouse´. Warm shades of grey, combined with a modern green, give the interior a fresh and very elegant look. You will immediately feel at home on board as there are no ´loud´ design elements to obstruct the view and everything is simply harmonious. The master cabin is located in the middle of the starboard side and has a king-size bed, a small sofa for relaxing, a dressing table and a walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom with shower is very spacious. Also to starboard is the double cabin (queen size bed) with a comfortable en suite bathroom. On the port side, amidships, is the VIP cabin (queen-size bed), which is slightly larger than the double cabin and has a walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom is also slightly larger. Forward on the port side is the guest cabin with three comfortable single beds and an en-suite shower room. The beds are 80 x 200 cm and the bunk beds are staggered so that the upper bed is easy to reach. The saloon is all about relaxing together, with two really big lounge sofas. In the centre is a black glass table that can be converted into a dining table for up to 10 people in bad weather. The aft deck has a large dining table that can seat up to 10 people and a lounge sofa. There is also a lounge with a coffee table on the foredeck. On the flybridge, the SHADES OF GREY has another large dining table, perfect for up to 10 guests, with a U-shaped seating area. Behind this is a full width sunbathing area. Forward of the helm position is an attractive bar, where you can enjoy a drink or have a snack from the chef. The flybridge is transformed into a spa area when the stewardess sets up her massage table and pampers guests with a feel-good massage. There is also a wide range of water sports on board, including an E-Foil, two Seabobs and numerous other water toys, as well as a water slide. And it´s not just the kids who have fun!

Shades of Grey Guest Reviews
Unsere Zeit auf der 50 Shades of Grey war sehr schön!
Unsere Zeit auf der 50 Shades of Grey war sehr schön! Der Katamaran ist äußerst modern und mit sehr hochwertigen Materialien ausgestattet. Überall herrscht ein hohes Maß an Sauberkeit und der Katamaran ist in einem exzellenten Zustand. Besonders waren wir von den geräumigen und bequemen Aufenthaltsbereichen beeindruckt, die sowohl viel Raum für Entspannung aber auch für ein geselliges Beisammensein bieten.
Die Crew war steht’s bemüht uns ein rundum tolles Erlebnis zu bieten. Insbesondere die Stewards haben uns rundum verwöhnt und dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlte.
Wir haben die Zeit an Board sehr genossen und freuen uns schon auf unsere nächste Reise!
What a wonderful cruise with SHADES OF GREY
What a wonderful cruise with SHADES OF GREY, we visited Ibiza and Formentera really ´in-style´. Everything on board is just perfect: tasteful decoration, high-end quality in all equipment on board, and a cozy athmosphere. The crew was extremely attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile on all our wishes. All our family enjoyed every single minute on this amazing yacht and we are already planning our next vacation on board. We wish all the best to our lovely crew!

Broker Feedback, Charter New Year St. Martin / St. Barth:
Hi Christa,
Just off the phone with my client and they had an amazing time on board SHADES OF GREY. The crew went above and beyond fo them with zero hesitations. There were a lot of moving parts with friends and family anchored nearby on other yachts and the entire charter was handled with ease. Each and every crew member is a valuable asset to the charter program and combined with the stunning yacht, in perfect condition, I have zero hesitations of recommending SHADES OF GREY to any of my clients in the future! Prompt, flawless interaction with Marine Project made the entire process a pleasure from start to finish.

Broker Feedback from Visit February 2025 in Antigua:
Dear Christa,
Thanks for arranging my visit to Shades of Grey the 80ft Sunreef that is presently in Antiuga.
I was welcomed onboard by Captain Dale and Mia and Samantha. They were very welcoming and I had a long chat with Captain Dale, who is very knowledgeable and professional, we chatted about the boat, different cruising grounds, and I feel very confident that our clients will have a fabulous time under his care. His crew photos does not do him justice I would definitely replace that with a more professional shot.
Mia gave me the interior tour and she is very sweet, offered cold water and coffee and showed me around, operating the TV system in the master to show how it moves etc. All cabins are very well appointed and the yacht looks like new. I did like the teak floors on the main deck inside, very different and looked very good. As the name suggests everything is Shades of Grey, they crew are working to get accents to lighten it up a bit, which they want to do with throw cushions and other accessories. Cabins were all a great size and good bathrooms too.
Samantha gave me the exterior tour and was very knowledgeable on deck. The upper deck was huge and comfortable as well as being very private.
Dale wants to get a BBQ so they can do beach bbq’s for guests and a couple of large bean bag chairs for the upper deck, both of which I think a very good idea.
Charter the boat without hesitation, its a great package. Dale also mentioned getting a 5th crew as a dedicated deckhand as Samantha floats between interior and exterior where needed.
Thanks again Christa,
Very best regards,
Sarah

Broker Feedback from Charter March 2025 in St. Martin:
Dear Christa,
I hope you are very well!
Please find below the written reference about SoG.
To whom it may concern,
I do confirm that I had a charter onboard SHADES OF GREY in March 2025. The client’s feedback after the charter was excellent regarding both the boat and the crew. The best reference I can give is that the crew received 20% tip, and the are considering chartering the catamaran again next year.
From my side, working with the Captain Francesco was very easy. Despite the clients being somewhat demanding, the Captain managed to bring the charter to a very successful conclusion.
I highly reccomend SoG!

I hope the above will be helpfull!
