Leo Messi orders an ULTIMA 88: a new chapter begins for Sunreef Yachts

Leo Messi becomes part of the Sunreef family with the order of a new ULTIMA 88, currently under construction at the company’s state-of-the-art shipyard in the United Arab Emirates.

One of the most recognized athletes in the world has chosen a luxury catamaran Sunreef for his MIM Ocean fleet, based in the Balearic Islands, offering his guests an exclusive experience at sea, designed for moments away from prying eyes.

On board, four guest cabins create intimate and private spaces for family and friends, while the full-beam owner’s suite offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat. The signature of Sunreef Yachts, the Ocean Lounge, brings life closer to the water for swimming, water sports, and relaxing with uninterrupted ocean views.

A dedicated garage for watercraft keeps equipment within reach, while spacious outdoor lounge areas and a generous flybridge create spaces dedicated to leisure, fitness, and moments to be enjoyed under the open sky. Characterized by sleek architecture and twin 1,000 HP engines, Leo Messi’s ULTIMA 88 will offer a perfect combination of speed and maneuverability.

The ULTIMA 88 reflects Sunreef Yachts‘ vision of contemporary life at sea: fluid, spacious, and deeply connected to the ocean. Every element is designed to make life simpler, intuitive, and open, allowing the yacht to transform into whatever the moment requires. For Francis Lapp, Founder and CEO of Sunreef Yachts, welcoming Leo Messi into the House of Sunreef reflects a shared vision of what true luxury means today.

Leo Messi embodies an extraordinary level of excellence, but what makes this new chapter particularly meaningful for us is what happens away from the spotlight. At Sunreef Yachts, we believe that true luxury is the freedom to choose how to spend your time, with the people who matter most. The sea offers us this freedom in its purest form. We are incredibly proud to welcome Leo Messi and his family to the House of Sunreef.

For Leo Messi, time spent at sea is already part of family life. His choice of the ULTIMA 88 transforms this instinct into a space of his own: a place to leave the coast behind, spend leisurely days, and decide together where to start the next day. There is a very special kind of privacy that only the sea can offer. A quiet anchorage. An open bridge before the day begins. Hours measured by where the family wants to take the next swim, rather than by a schedule.

It is a true pleasure to become part of the Sunreef family. My family and I have always loved spending time at sea whenever we have the chance. Sunreef yachts have the style and features that I truly appreciate, and they fit perfectly with what I am looking for. I can’t wait to try the ULTIMA 88 and enjoy it with my family.

Leo Messi now joins a distinguished group of owners and members of the House of Sunreef, alongside other world-class athletes.
