On board Sunreef catamaran Great White with tennis superstar Rafael Nadal

International tennis superstar Rafael Nadal had his 24-metre Sunreef power catamaran Great White delivered to him in 2020. In this exclusive interview, BOAT finds out how Nadal uses his boat to enjoy life on the water in between sessions on the court... 

He’s a singles tennis star, but when it comes to hulls, Rafael Nadal is now very much a doubles man. His 23.9-metre 80 Sunreef Power catamaran Great White features a flybridge with a bar and barbeque, a stern garage for a jet ski, an elegant interior in cream and coffee tones, and 360 square metres of living space.

His passion for boats began in childhood, zipping around his home island of Mallorca in his father’s Riviera power boat. He began his own yachting career with a Princess V62, followed in 2017 by Monte Carlo Yachts ’ MCY 76 – nipping home between gruelling tournaments for short snorkelling trips or a night of peace on board. But chartering a Sunreef 74 sailing catamaran made him realise what two hulls can offer. “I met great crew and visited amazing places in the Bahamas,” he recalls. “Those seven days with my family on board were unforgettable – especially thanks to the huge amount of space and comfort. Those were the main reasons that now I own one of Sunreef’s catamarans.”

For Nadal it was all about space. "I have only owned monohulls and on a catamaran I was captivated by the huge amount of space. Honestly, in my small port [in Mallorca], the 80 Sunreef Power is the biggest boat that can dock there. It’s great for me that I can have it here in Porto Cristo, located in front of my house. The huge amount of space that my catamaran has is unreachable by any monohull up to [30 metres]. That is for me the main reason for switching from monohull to multihull."

Nadal said he intended to use  Great White  around the coastline of his home island Mallorca as a break from his intense training schedule. “The pressure of competing every single day is high, you can’t hide that,” he said. “When I come back home, I have the chance to go out and spend maybe just one day away from everything without thinking about tennis, just diving and spending the night on board.”

Designed in-house, the fully customised catamaran is intended for long cruises and features “bold, contemporary hull styling,” the yard said. "I wanted to feel like in my own house," said Nadal on the interior concept. "Of course I had some special requests. I didn’t want a Jacuzzi on the flybridge, because I prefer open spaces. I don’t need features like Jacuzzis on board – I have water around the boat to swim in and enjoy."

Key exterior details include stainless steel portlights, high bulwarks and subtle ambient lighting, as well as a superyacht tender garage large enough to hold a tender, Jet Ski and other water toys. Accommodation on board  Great White  is for a total of eight guests in four cabins, with the owner’s suite sitting in the starboard hull alongside another guest cabin and the crew quarters. Nadal’s master suite features a walk-in dressing room, sofa, flip-down ceiling TV above the double bed and a private fold-down balcony.

“Every time I have the chance, I come back to Mallorca and get on the water. I have always loved the feeling of adventure a boat offers you. You feel free.”

“As someone from an island, as I am, the sea is part of our lives and it’s not a secret that I love the sea. Every time I am at home in Mallorca I try to go out and find that time where I can just enjoy my time on a boat,” he said.

Video: Rafael Nadal Shares a Look Inside His 80-Foot Great White Catamaran Yacht

Even those who have never tuned in to a professional tennis tournament are still likely to have heard Rafael Nadal’s name before. Nadal is one of the biggest names in men’s professional tennis, and he has one of the greatest resumes in the history of the sport. His success has given him incredible wealth and celebrity status, and he used some of his sizable earnings to purchase a huge superyacht .

Rafael Nadal’s hugely successful tennis career

The now 35-year-old tennis star has been wielding a racket since he was just three years old, and he transitioned into a professional tennis player at 15. Nadal was born in Spain, and his uncle Toni, a former professional tennis player, noticed his interest and innate talent in the sport.

Toni coached his nephew for several years. According to Biography , Nadal rose among the tennis ranks through his teen years, and he eventually became the youngest male to reach the third round of Wimbledon since Boris Becker when he was just 17.  

His first significant win came two years later when he won the French Open in 2005. His career flourished throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, picking up wins at major tournaments regularly. 2009 and 2010 were considerable years for Nadal, as he won the Australian Open in 2009 and the French Open, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open, in 2010. This made him the second men’s player in history to bring home a Grand Slam. 

Since that pivotal time, Nadal has had a few offseasons but continues to play a steady game overall. Celebrity Net Worth estimates his net worth sits at $200 million. Unfortunately, Nadal announced last month that his 2021 is overdue to a nagging foot injury, but at least the tennis great can recover from his yacht.

Nadal’s 80 Sunreef Power Great White

In a video released by Sunreef last year, the maker of Nadal’s yacht, viewers are treated to various views of 80-foot Great White catamaran yacht. This supership is outfitted with numerous full-sized bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as several areas for lounging on long couches, both in front of massive television screens and outside to soak up the sunshine. 

One mind-blowing feature is the automatic ramp for Nadal’s Jet Skis , which keeps them safe and sound while the ship moves, and makes deploying the vehicles simple. Its state-of-the-art cockpit provides the captain with a plethora of water depth information, navigation panels, and numerous levers that can modify the speed and ride of the ship. 

Inside, you can see a gorgeous floating staircase, a spacious dining room table, and floor lighting that illuminates the room with a subtle glow. Nadal also has the ship outfitted with a Spanish flag on the back to symbolize his home territory. 

The superyacht’s specs

According to Forbes , Nadal’s superyacht cost him approximately $6.2 million, and he had spent a long time working with Sunreef to design the exact yacht he wanted for his family. It’s powered by two 1,200 hp engines, and it can cruise up to 24 knots. The interior measures about 4,000 square feet. 

Not seen in the video are a wet bar and barbeque, and the tennis star reportedly enjoys unwinding by catching some rays in the designated relaxation area and snorkeling with his equipment kept in the boat’s garage. 

Although a boat this size with these features may seem trivial or unnecessary to some, Nadal commented , “It helps me restore positive energy. That’s something that helps me move forward with my tennis career.” Athletes are under tremendous pressure to perform year after year, and this yacht-owning strategy seems to be working for him.

Inside Rafael Nadal's 'Great White' Yacht

By: Scott Way

Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal has a new yacht and, to put it mildly, it's a real looker. Not just because it's from renowned builder Sunreef yachts, but because it's truly one of a kind. The Polish shipyard added an insane list of custom features in accordance with the wishes of Nadal and his wife Maria, both of whom were actively involved in the build process (they're also ambassadors for Sunreef as a result).

Some of those specialty features include Rafa's custom Nike logo on the big screen tv mounts in the salon (and there are three massive 77" in tv's, one of which is somehow waterproof), a dropdown terrace in the master suite that creates a water-level lookout at the foot of the king size bed, and a custom Heineken beer tap on the flybridge. The 'garage' is also accessible directly underneath the rear salon, where an electronic lift pulls back the stern lounge to reveal a jet ski, a SEABOB, and a surf foil. While Great White is by no means a small yacht, at 80 feet long it's shocking that it manages to pack 4,000 square feet of comfortable living space. She has a top speed of 24 knots (27 mph), which a cruising speed of 14 knots (16 mph).

Former F1 champ Nico Rosberg recently took a tour around Great White, and it's a great look at a masterfully built boat. Nadal is also a truly interesting and humble guy, and there are some good lessons for everyone.

Nadal mentions that the flybridge was recently damaged in a thunderstorm (of which he takes responsibility for encouraging the captain to take him out in bad weather), and I wish we could get the backstory on that. The tour doesn't seem to include the entire flybridge, so something is afoot there.

As for who has the best celebrity yacht, there may be some footitus going on. Tom Brady recently went up in size to a Wajer 77 , and Nadal matched the length of Michael Jordan's 80-foot Viking sportfishing yacht Catch 23 . Length doesn't always tell the full story, though. NBA champ Klay Thompson rides around in a measly 37-foot fishing boat, but it's an Axopar 37 Cabin , so he gets some slack. And Conor McGregor's tiny 63-foot boat doesn't match up with the big boys either, but it's literally a Lamborghini boat , so he gets a pass. If we are judging length (and let's be honest, some of us will), Tony Parker reigns supreme with a 115-foot expedition yacht .

Check out Nadal and Rosberg exploring Great White in the video below:

80 Sunreef Power - discovery of Great White, Rafael Nadal's catamaran motoryacht

July 21 2020

Written by Yachting Art English Edition

The tennis world champion has a passion for beautiful motoryachts. Today, he shows us, in pictures, his brand new acquisition, an 80 Sunreef Power, a luxury motoryacht catamaran, an exceptional unit that has enabled the Polish shipyard to enter the super yacht market on the same level.

If there is one development that everyone in the yachting world is watching with great attention, it is the current transfer of part of the clientele from monohull yachts from 100 to 200 feet to catamaran motoryachts from 70 to 120 feet.

This strong trend can easily be explained by a desire on the part of owners for greater privacy on board - less crew - for an equivalent living area and larger volumes.

In fact, demand is exploding in this sector, which reflects the soundness of the strategy of the Polish shipyard Sunreef Yachts, the world leader in semi-custom luxury catamarans, whose move upmarket in recent years is currently enabling it to take full advantage of this strong wave.

Among the latest units delivered by Sunreef, ActuNautique invites you to discover today, the motoryacht delivered a few weeks ago to Rafael Nadal, a unit which is much talked about in the yachting world.

Rafael Nadal, a yachting enthusiast

An experienced sailor, Rafael Nadal has been passionate about yachting since childhood and never misses an opportunity to go out to sea with his friends and family. Having owned monohull yachts until now, he decided to have a custom catamaran built for him after visiting and chartering Sunreef Yachts catamarans in the past.

Seduced by both the design and the living space of the 80 Sunreef Power, he opted for the latest model from the shipyard and took delivery of Great White last month.

Great White, Rafael Nadal's 80 Sunreef Power can accommodate up to 8 guests thanks to its comfortable 4-cabin layout. The starboard hull houses the owner's suite, one of the guest cabins and the crew quarters.

The spacious master suite features a walk-in wardrobe, sofa, overhead fold-out TV and a private sea view balcony. The port hull accommodates two other guest cabins and the catamaran's galley.

Great White's bright saloon offers great comfort with its two large sofas next to the entrance to the aft cockpit, a dining area for 8 people at the bow and two 77" TVs installed back to back. An additional lounge area with sofa is located next to the entrance to the forward sundeck.

The large aft cockpit of the catamaran offers an exceptional open-air dining area, well protected from the sun and sheltered from the wind. Under the large sofa, the aft garage of Great White accommodates a three-seater jet-ski and a selection of nautical toys as well as a refuelling station. A hydraulic platform has been installed to carry the yacht's tender and provide additional space for sunbathing on the water's edge.

The flybridge is the privileged relaxation area where guests enjoy an outdoor lounge equipped with solariums and a bar.

Equipped with two 1200 HP engines, the 80 Sunreef Power Great White expects a top speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 16 knots.

Great White.  Sunreef Yachts

The 35-year-old tennis pro commissioned Great White  in July 2019 and took delivery of the 80-footer last summer. Fit for a former World No. 1, the custom cruiser sports a sleek silhouette with clean lines and an azure-colored hull. She’s fitted with two 1,200 hp engines that help her perform like a star athlete and afford a top speed of 24 knots or cruise speed of 14 knots.

It’s the inside that really sets Great White apart from her peers, though. The cat features a contemporary yet understated interior that spans almost 4,000 square feet and represents one of the largest in class. The centerpiece is a generous main salon with two 77-inch sports-center televisions, a dining space that seats eight and a plush lounge.

Another highlight is the master stateroom. Located in the starboard hull, it sports a flip-down ceiling TV above the bed, a walk-in dressing room, sofa and a private fold-out balcony. Elsewhere, there are three guest cabins plus two for the crew.

Double Happiness.  Sunreef Yachts

The exterior, meanwhile, comprises a full-beam alfresco dining area with a weatherproof TV, a relaxation area on the flybridge with sun pads and another pop-up TV, plus a hydraulic swim platform. The cat is also equipped with a garage to the aft that holds Jet Skis, water toys and a tender.

In addition to Nadal’s pride and joy, Sunreef will also exhibit luxury cat Double Happiness . The bespoke 80-footer, which is part of the yard’s acclaimed line of sail catamarans, comes with a spectacular main deck saloon as well as an imposing flybridge.

Inside tennis legend Rafael Nadal's $6M luxury yacht with five TVs and jet ski garage

Rafael nadal is a keen yachtsman and his latest purchase, the 'great white', is his biggest and most luxurious yet, with the spaniard heavily involved in the design..

As Rafael Nadal's illustrious tennis career begins to wind down, he can look forward to spending more time indulging in his off-court hobbies. While the Spaniard will remain connected to the sport through his various Rafa Nadal Academies, he'll also have more leisure time to enjoy one of his favorite possessions - his luxury yacht.

The saloon houses two additional 77-inch TVs installed back-to-back, along with an eight-person dining area. An outdoor dining space at the stern features a weatherproof TV, and a fifth pop-up screen is located in the flybridge, which also includes a bar, barbecue, and sun loungers.

The yacht also a swim platform with additional sunbathing areas and a spacious garage for jet skis and water toys. Nadal chose his preferred color palette of creams, coffees, and beiges for the interior, aiming to create a homely atmosphere.

"I wanted to feel like in my own house," Nadal shared about his design preferences. As an avid yachting fan, he was meticulous with the yacht's features, stating, "Of course I had some special requests. I didn't want a hot tub on the flybridge, because I prefer open spaces. I don't need features like jacuzzis on board - I have water around the boat to swim in and enjoy."

While the Great White is not Nadal's first yacht, it is certainly his largest. The tennis star has previously mentioned that the size was a significant consideration in choosing the custom Sunreef model.

"I have only owned monohulls and on a catamaran I was captivated by the huge amount of space. Honestly, in my small port, the 80 Sunreef Power is the biggest boat that can dock there," he explained.

He also expressed his delight at being able to dock the vessel near his home, saying, "It's great for me that I can have it here in Porto Cristo, located in front of my house. The huge amount of space that my catamaran has is unreachable by any monohull up to [30 metres]. That is for me the main reason for switching from monohull to multihull."

The great white on the blue lagoon, detailed to perfection, a getaway closer to home.

There are only two things Rafael Nadal is known to be passionate about: Tennis and his hometown of Mallorca, Spain. Growing up on an island, the sea has been an essential part of Nadal’s life. Whenever the tennis star is not seen winning one of his Grand Slam titles, he uses the off-season to cruise on a boat along the shores of Mallorca. When the opportunity to buy a customized superyacht presented itself, Nadal did not hesitate. With a sprawling net worth of $200 million , $124 million coming from his tennis salary, the athlete has spent his money on limited luxuries. Along with his beautiful estate in his hometown, the superyacht by Sunreef is one of his priciest purchases made for $6 million as a birthday gift.

From the outlines of the exterior to the color scheme and setting on the interior, every line and curve on the superyacht is customized by Rafael Nadal and his wife, Maria Perello. Named The Great White, let’s take a detailed look inside the tennis star’s superyacht.

Nadal’s gorgeous yacht was displayed at the 2020 Monaco Yacht Show after being delivered to the tennis star in June 2020. The Sunreef 80-foot catamaran called Great White currently resides on the shores of Mallorca. The Founder and President of Sunreef Francis Lapp detailed the delivery to be an unforgettable experience for him. As mentioned by Boat International , the yacht was made in Gdańsk, Poland, and Nadal and his wife Maria Perello had active inputs to design the structure as they wanted.

The decision to buy the Catamaran came after Nadal had experienced chartering yachts from Sunreef. When he met President Francis Lapp in 2018 at the Cannes Yachting Festival, he decided to commission a customized yacht. The multi-hull yacht comes with two engines that provide a 1,200 HP output and have a top speed of 24 knots. The Great White features high bulwarks, steel portlights, and ambient lighting for a comforting glow. While the exterior is robust, the interior living space of 4,000 sq. ft. is customized to perfection to make every stay luxurious.

For the interior, Nadal chose to decorate the yacht with his favorite color scheme of beige, coffee, and cream, as stated by Forbes . Nadal chose a four guest cabin layout for the yacht, which provides an airy space within the corridors. They all are equipped with ensuite bathrooms and offer stunning views of the sea. The yacht can house 12 guests and 4 crew members at once.

The Great White has a special Master Suite on the starboard side of the yacht on the Main Deck that is the epitome of luxury. It features a walk-in dressing room, a private fold-down balcony, a sofa, and a flip-down ceiling TV located above the comfortable double bed. The deck also consists of the main saloon that has glazed windows and a spacious dining area. It can seat up to 8 guests at a time. Two 77-inch TVs turn the saloon into a sports corner to watch a game while enjoying time on the yacht.

The flybridge is equipped with stations for outdoor activities. According to Unique News Online , it has a barbecue station, wet bar, and a relaxation area that contains sun pads for tanning. To enhance the calming experience, the Upper Deck comes with a Waterfall spa pool, one of the unique features of the custom yacht .

Along with a myriad of features, there is enough room to store equipment for sports adventures. With additional pop-up televisions and hydraulic swim platforms, the Catamaran has a spacious garage to hold Jet Skis, tender, and water toys to be enjoyed at any time, as noted by Robb Report . Sunreef has ensured that there are enough areas to relax and enjoy the sun at the same time. Since Nadal prefers to swim, snorkel and tan, the yacht is created to cater to his needs.

Rafael Nadal is known to spend most of his off-season time in his hometown in Mallorca , where he owns a gorgeous stone chalet closer to his parents. The Mediterranean-style mansion overlooks the sea and the Porto Cristo Nautical Club, where his $6 million yacht is usually parked. Nadal has already been making good use of The Great White and has been spotted vacationing with his family on the Balearic Islands.

Incorporation of the Mediterranean beauty and soft textures, the Great White is worth every penny. The superyacht by Sunreef is bold and contemporary and the ideal model designed for long cruises. The superyacht was displayed again at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show between September 22 and 25, where people got to climb aboard the beautiful yacht and take a peek around.

Take a peek inside the multihull yacht for an idea of how the sports celeb may be spending his time on board.

Last year, international tennis superstar Rafael Nadal famously sold his US$3.3 million yacht known as the Beethoven. Not long after, he ordered another custom-made 80-foot luxury yacht: a Sunreef 80 Catamaran with a price tag of US$6.2 million.

The brand new water toy arrived in his hometown of Mallorca, Spain, just in time for his 34 th birthday earlier this month. Unsurprisingly, the world no.2 men’s singles tennis player took it for a spin to celebrate the occasion with his newly wedded wife (as of last October), Xisca Perelló.

“As someone from an island, as I am, the sea is part of our lives and it’s not a secret that I love the sea. Every time I am at home in Mallorca I try to go out and find that time where I can just enjoy my time on a boat,” Rafa said of his splurge.

Boasting 4,000 square feet of space, the yacht is designed for long cruises and can accommodate up to 12 people on board. It is powered by twin 1,200 hp engines that allows the vessel to reach a top speed of 24 knots or cruise speed of 14 knots.

There’s an expansive flybridge with a fully equipped wet bar, a barbecue area and a lounge with sun pads. Plus, the sizeable garage can store a number of jet skis and other water toys. But the interiors are where the 19-time Grand Slam winner lends his personal touch.

Sleek, modern and sophisticated, the interiors feature a large main deck saloon with direct access to the front terrace, four guest cabins with en-suite bathrooms and an exquisite owner’s suite with a private fold-out balcony. We’d imagine Rafa getting his tan on while enjoying the view from the modern owner’s sea terrace.
