HU‑LYSSE Announces Ambitious 2026/27 Cruising Plans: East Caribbean This Winter, Norway’s Arctic Circle in Summer 2027

HU‑LYSSE, the groundbreaking Sunreef 80 Eco sailing catamaran, has confirmed an exceptional cruising schedule for the upcoming seasons, positioning herself as one of the most distinctive and forward‑thinking luxury charter yachts in the world. This winter 2026/27, she will sail to the East Caribbean, becoming one of the very few — and potentially the only — new Sunreef 80 Eco available for crewed charter in the region. Her silent electric propulsion, expansive outdoor living spaces and advanced eco‑technology will offer guests a uniquely serene way to explore destinations such as Antigua, St. Martin, St. Barths and the Virgin Islands.

Following her Caribbean season, HU‑LYSSE will undertake a transatlantic crossing in spring 2027, continuing her global journey to Northern Europe. From early summer, she will be available for luxury crewed charters in Norway’s Arctic Circle, including the dramatic Lofoten Islands, where her quiet operation and panoramic deck spaces will elevate the experience of cruising among fjords, glaciers and midnight‑sun landscapes. Charters elsewhere in Norway can also be arranged on request, offering guests access to some of the most remote and cinematic cruising grounds in the world.

Charter rates in Norway will start from €80,000 in low season, reflecting HU‑LYSSE’s exceptional eco‑luxury design, advanced technology and her status as one of the most innovative sailing catamarans currently operating on the global charter market.

HU‑LYSSE’s upcoming itinerary underscores her position as a truly modern world‑cruising yacht — one that pairs sustainability with adventure, and refined comfort with the freedom to explore regions few superyachts ever reach.

While the usual itinerary in the East Caribbean will be as flexible as the party desires, with ST BARTHS most likely be the location for NEW YEAR, Anguilla for Christmas, Saint Martin for first few weeks of January and the Grenadines for the February and early Spring, the Norway itineraries will be more varied, flexible and unique. We herewith propose one in Lofoten archipelago:
