In 2020, Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal welcomed a new addition to his lifestyle – the luxurious Sunreef Great White, a 24-meter catamaran. This stunning vessel not only reflects Nadal's taste for sophistication but also serves as his personal retreat, blending his challenging athletic career with serene moments at sea.
Nadal's fascination with the sea and boating traces back to his childhood, spent on his father's boat near the island of Mallorca. This early connection grew over time, leading him first to acquire a Princess V62 yacht, followed by an MCY 76 from Monte Carlo Yachts in 2017. His appreciation for multi-hull boats, however, only emerged after chartering a Sunreef 74 catamaran, where the spaciousness and comfort ultimately inspired him to invest in his own Sunreef Catamaran.
For Nadal, the Great White is the ideal choice due to its expansive, comfortable spaces – particularly when compared to monohull boats, even those reaching up to 30 meters. The catamaran offers wide open areas and stability on the water, making it a perfect vessel for relaxation along Mallorca’s coastline.
In light of the constant pressures of professional competition, Nadal finds respite in his yacht. Spending time aboard allows him a full day away from the rigors of training, enjoying activities like snorkeling and peaceful nights without the distractions of his tennis career.
Great White’s interior was tailored specifically for Nadal’s refined tastes. He requested an open design without a Jacuzzi on the upper deck to maximize sea views. This yacht features exquisite details, including a private balcony in his suite and inviting interiors that offer Nadal a home-like comfort.
Designed to host eight guests in four cabins, Great White includes a luxurious master suite with premium amenities such as a dressing room, retractable television, and an opening balcony. Additionally, it boasts a spacious garage for marine equipment, including a jet ski, enhancing his maritime adventures.
Through the Great White, Rafael Nadal finds the perfect companion to explore the beauty of the sea, embodying his deep-rooted love for the ocean and his connection to his home island of Mallorca.
