The Concept: Unapologetic Luxury & Range
If the Eco version is the “Tesla” of the sea, the Classic 60 Sunreef Power is the “Range Rover Defender”—rugged, reliable, and capable of going anywhere, as long as you can find a fuel dock.
This yacht appeals to a specific type of buyer: the one who wants the massive volume of a Sunreef but prefers the proven reliability and infinite range of diesel propulsion over the cutting-edge complexity of electric systems.
For many buyers, especially those looking to explore remote areas like the Pacific or the Exumas, the “Classic” diesel version remains the safer, more logical choice.
The Engine Room: Muscle Over Silence
Unlike the silent electric motors of the Eco, the Classic is powered by serious iron.
- The Options: You typically choose between Volvo Penta (300HP – 600HP) or massive Cummins (850HP) engines.
- The Reality: While the brochure might promise 20+ knots, real-world cruising is usually done at 10-12 knots. At this speed, the ride is smooth and efficient.
- The Range: With the upgraded fuel tanks (up to 10,000 Liters), this boat is a true transatlantic explorer. You can cross from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean on a single tank at economic speeds (8 knots).
The “Garage” Factor (Standard)
Just like the Eco version, the Classic Power 60 features the aft garage, a feature that completely differentiates it from the sailing fleet.
- Why it matters: On a 60-foot sailing cat, your tender is usually exposed on davits. On the Power 60, your Williams Jet Tender and Jet Ski are hidden inside the hull.
- The Beach Club: This leaves the hydraulic platform completely free to be used as a submersible swim deck or a cocktail lounge at water level.
Interior: The “Full Beam” Master Suite
Because there is no mast compression post in the middle of the salon, the layout options on the Power 60 are superior to the sailing version.
- Master Suite: You can opt for a Master Cabin that sits on the main deck level with direct access to the front terrace. This offers views that rival 100-foot superyachts.
- Galley Options:
- Galley Up: An open “American style” kitchen that keeps the chef involved in the party.
- Galley Down: A fully enclosed professional kitchen in the hull, perfect for owners who travel with a private chef.

The Verdict
Who is this boat for?
The 60 Sunreef Power Classic is for the pragmatic explorer. It is for the buyer who wants the “superyacht” finish and the “party platform” flybridge but doesn’t want to be a beta-tester for new electric technology. It is a proven, robust global cruiser.
The Pros:
- Reliability: Diesel engines can be fixed by any mechanic in the world.
- Range: With 10,000L of fuel, you have true autonomy.
- Volume: The 10.7m beam makes it feel twice the size of a monohull of the same length.
The Cons:
- Fuel Bill: Filling a 10,000L tank is expensive. Expect high running costs compared to the Eco or Sailing versions.
- Noise: While well-insulated, you will still hear the hum of engines and generators, unlike the silent Eco version.
