Leo Messi orders an Ultima 88: An new icon in the house of Sunreef

Leo Messi has joined the House of Sunreef with the order of a new ULTIMA 88, currently under construction at the company’s state-of-the-art shipyard in the UAE

One of the most recognized athletes on the planet has chosen to build a luxury Sunreef catamaran for his MIM Ocean fleet, based in the Balearic Islands, offering its guests an exclusive experience at sea, made for the moments when no one is watching.

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

A dedicated jet ski garage keeps equipment within easy reach, while expansive outdoor lounging areas and a generous flybridge create space for leisure, fitness and time spent under the open sky. With a sleek architecture and twin 1,000 HP engines, Leo Messi’s ULTIMA 88 will provide 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, more intuitive and more open, allowing the yacht to become whatever the moment calls for. 

For Sunreef Yachts Founder and CEO Francis Lapp, welcoming Leo Messi to the House of Sunreef reflects a shared understanding of what true luxury means today.

He said: “Leo Messi embodies an extraordinary level of excellence, but what makes this new chapter particularly meaningful to us is what happens beyond the spotlight. At Sunreef Yachts, we believe that true luxury is the freedom to choose how you spend your time, with the people who matter most. The sea gives us that 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 at sea is already part of family life. His choice of the ULTIMA 88 brings that instinct into a space of his own: somewhere to leave the shore behind, spend unhurried days together and decide where the next day begins. There is a particular kind of privacy that only the sea can offer. A quiet anchorage. An open deck before the day starts. Hours measured by where the family wants to swim next rather than by a schedule.

He said: “It’s a real pleasure to join the Sunreef family. My family and I have always loved spending time at sea whenever we get the chance. Sunreef Yachts have the style and features I really like, and they’re a perfect fit for what I’m looking for. I’m really looking forward to experiencing the ULTIMA 88 and enjoying it with my family.”

Leo Messi now joins a distinguished group of Sunreef owners and family members of the House of Sunreef, alongside other world-class athletes. Their reasons for going to sea are their own. What connects them is a shared appreciation for exceptional craftsmanship, innovation and the freedom to experience life beyond the demands of their respective worlds.
