Overview:
There is something instantly magnetic about MANA KAI, from the way her modern gray exterior catches the light to the easy confidence with which the new Sunreef 80 luxury crewed catamaran moves across the French Riviera. Her sleek profile brings a fresh edge to coastal cruising, pairing contemporary styling with the kind of smooth performance that makes every passage feel refined and unhurried. Throughout the yacht, state-of-the-art amenities have been arranged to support every mood on charter, whether you are gathering with friends, stretching out in the sun, or enjoying a slower moment between destinations. MANA KAI delivers a setting where pleasure, comfort, and polished design meet with ease.

Sunrise has its own charm here, especially when enjoyed from the foredeck lounge with a hot tea or a chilled refreshment as the open sea begins to glow ahead of you. As the day unfolds, the elegant teak flybridge becomes a favorite vantage point, offering sweeping views of Cannes from a plush lounging area made for long conversation and relaxed indulgence over a bottle of Rosé. Later on, the atmosphere shifts beautifully to the aft deck, where the alfresco dining area invites you to linger over sumptuous dishes beneath a sunset sky. Anchored near the vibrant Port Grimaud, the experience feels cinematic, intimate, and full of Riviera charm.

Step inside and the tone becomes warm, bright, and inviting, with MANA KAI’s contemporary interior designed to make every gathering feel memorable. The radiant saloon and dining area provide an elegant indoor setting for celebrations, pre-dinner drinks, or evenings that continue long after sunset. When it is time to retreat, her cabins surround you with teak detailing, warm LED floor lighting, and light gray accents that create a soothing, polished ambiance. Each cabin is complete with private ensuite facilities, offering the kind of premium comfort that helps you recharge fully before another day of coastal fun.

The French Riviera also knows how to keep the tempo high, and MANA KAI makes it easy to step into that side of the experience. Hop on the tender for a glamorous evening in St. Tropez, spend your afternoons visiting the best French Riviera beach clubs, or dive straight into the fun with the water toys available onboard to explore the French waterline in a more active way. MANA KAI gives you the freedom to move between sophistication and exhilaration without ever losing the sense of ease that defines a great charter.
