Swiss cleantech innovator Bcomp has partnered with luxury yacht manufacturer Sunreef Yachts to introduce sustainable natural fibre composites into the interiors of the 100 Sunreef Power catamaran.

The forward section, bar, barbecue, and navigation station of the new model will feature Bcomp s ampliTex flax fibre composite, combined with bio-based or recyclable resin. Offering a lightweight, stiff, non-toxic, and vibration-damping alternative to glass fibre, ampliTex enhances passenger comfort while significantly reducing environmental impact.

These components will be crafted in a striking pearl grey and charcoal finish, delivering both high-performance mechanical durability and elegant aesthetics tailored to customer preferences.

Luxury should be redefined, not by excess but by conscious creation, said Nicolas Lapp, CTO and Cofounder at Sunreef. Working with Bcomp allowed us to explore a new design language where natural materials elevate both aesthetics and performance.

The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation in yacht design, with the potential to expand bio-based composite applications beyond interiors into semi-structural catamaran parts.

This project shows what s possible in sustainable yacht design, added Paolo Dassi, Marine & Industry Manager at Bcomp. By working with Sunreef, we aim to make bio-based composites a standard in customised eco catamaran construction.

Already proven in Formula 1 seating, sailboats, ferries, and yachts, Bcomp s flax fibre composites are now set to play a bigger role in redefining the future of luxury marine interiors, where performance meets sustainability.
