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.

Design and performance for the yacht of Rafael Nadal

The Spanish tennis star takes us onboard his new motor catamaran, a Sunreef 80 Power custom-designed especially for him

Great White, Sunreef 80 Power by Sunreef

It might just be the most beautiful catamaran of the moment. Its name is Great White and it belongs to one of the greatest international tennis players, winner of the recent Australian Open 2022. We’re talking about Rafael Nadal and his totally custom Sunreef 80 Power . We had an onboard tour during the latest Monaco Yacht Show in September 2021, where we were very impressed by the boat’s 320 sqm of living space. Since childhood the Majorcan champ has been used to living in contact with the sea, and whenever there is a break in his busy tournament schedule he likes to relax by navigating in the Balearic Islands.

Great White is not his first boat. Nadal was already the owner of a 23-meter Monte Carlo Yachts MYC76. Recently he decided to shift to the larger spaces of a catamaran, and he chose the great quality offered by Sunreef . The Polish shipyard is famous for the creation of luxurious custom catamarans, always with an accent on sustainability. Lately the company has launched the first Sunreef 80 Eco , an electric catamaran that navigates in total silence, respecting nature.

“I’m a real yachting enthusiast, and whenever I get a chance I’m ready to set sail,” the champion says. “The comfort and space provided by a catamaran are peerless. I chose the Sunreef 80 Power for its performance, but also because the space has been expanded. Space is important when you want to welcome friends and family, and it lets you have various options for more privacy. Two years ago I visited a Sunreef 80 sailing model at the Cannes Yachting Festival, and I fell in love with it. But I wanted a motor version.”

So here comes Great White, an ultra-modern boat with elegant lines, combining comfort, seakeeping prowess and elegant design. The white and cobalt blue coloring of the exterior catches the eye while emphasizing the lines, with the high bow that slopes toward the stern; double steps offer easy access to the sea, while at the center a hydraulic platform raises the tender and also forms a beach deck at the stern.

Large vertical openings add character to the lines of the two hulls: they are portholes that bring light inside, also in the zone with the cabins. Light and fluid spaces generate the design leitmotif. The large living area is like a terrace on the sea, thanks to big windows and low gunwales that permit a 180-degree view of the sea.

“This was one of the first modifications I requested from the shipyard: I wanted to see the sea even when seated, so I asked if it was possible to lower the hull at the sides; Sunreef did not object,” Nadal explains. Two oversize sofas are placed at the two sides of the living room, while two 77” monitors are at the center, back to back, one for the zone for socializing, one for the dining area. The large planks of the wood floors provide a sense of continuity with the external teak decks.

The command post starboard from the living area becomes part of social life; on the other side, a settee facing forward permits Nadal to converse with his skipper and to share moments of navigation.

Outside, the wide cockpit is a shady spot for relaxing moments, while at the bow there is an immense sundeck and another cockpit with large sofas; the flybridge provides another social terrace, with a second, external wheelhouse.

Below, Great White can accommodate 8 guests in 4 cabins. Nadal’s cabin is at the center, in the right hull: the very large suite with walk-in closet features a balcony just over the water, a true rarity for a catamaran.

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.

The 400-foot-long Kismet embarks on her maiden voyage in the Med

When it comes to exclusive enclaves, it’s pretty hard to compete with Monaco. The world’s elite flock to the tiny principality on the French Rivera for its sunny weather, sophisticated hotels and casinos, spectacular shopping and other financial reasons. They love to drive their fast cars down the famous roads leading into the city, and they love the speed and power of the legendary Monaco Grand Prix, too.

Monaco Yacht Show 20224

But as for the absolute pinnacle of luxury, it doesn’t get much better than owning a superyacht. And for the select few who happen to be shopping for a superyacht, there’s one place to see nearly all of the best, and biggest, and most technologically advanced yachts that money can buy (in addition to the tenders, and limousines, and private submarines, and luxury cars that go along with a superyacht) in one place: The Monaco Yacht Show , which starts next week.

Renaissance is massive

During the show, the docks of Monaco’s famous port are always filled with numerous yachts longer than 250 feet. But this year, the largest superyacht in the show is 400 feet long! And lots of superyachts in the 300-foot-long range will be there, too.

Apple’s Update Decision—Bad News Confirmed For Millions Of iPhone Users

Hackers force chrome users to hand over google passwords. here’s how, today’s eclipse of the full moon sets up a ‘ring of fire’ — what to know.

So, if you are lucky enough to be in Monaco later this month, I’ll see you there. But if you not, here’s a sneak peek at the five largest yachts that will be on display.

Kismet underway

What can I say about the 400-foot-long Kismet (which was built by Lürssen , features an exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and an interior design by Reymond Langton Design and is available for charter with Cecil Wright ) that can help you understand just how big a 400-foot-long superyacht is? How about, since it measures 40 feet longer than an American football field (including the end zones), it’s safe to say that Kismet would only just barely fit inside the Jacksonville Jaguars EverBank Stadium. And that’s only if it could somehow be lowered from the top with a crane!

Kismet departs Lurssen shipyard in Germany

But since these photos and that explanation can’t really convey just how big Shaid Kahn ’s (the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars) new 400-foot-long superyacht is...The only way you’ll really be able to understand just how big the Jacksonville Jaguars owner’s new yacht is to see it for yourself in Monaco next week. It’s going to be largest yacht at the show and has raised the bar on what’s possible when it comes to designing, building, owning and chartering the largest yachts in the world.

The interior for the 400-foot-long Kismet that charters for $3 million per week

And since Kismet has already spent her first season in the Mediterranean and is available for charter through Cecil Wright (instead of being hidden away for a private owner like many yachts in this size range are), you, too, could experience what it’s like to live the superyacht life aboard one of the largest and most opulent vessels in the world.

The interior for the 400-foot-long Kismet that charters for $3 million per week is massive

So, if you looking for a charter yacht that costs roughly $3 million per week, the Monaco Yacht Show will be the place where you can see just how opulent Kismet (and theses other superyachts too) for yourself.

‘Renaissance’

The Bannenberg & Rowell-designed Renaissance that can accommodate 36 guests in 16 cabins is unlike ... [+] most other superyachts that are available to charter

The 367-foot-long, 7,200-gross ton, Bannenberg & Rowell -designed Renaissance is um, a “really big superyacht.” But what intrigues me the most is that unlike most superyachts that can only accommodate 12 guests per charter, Renaissance has been designed to swaddle 36 guests in superyacht luxury.

Renaissance underway

As you’d imagine, this yacht has it all. Open-air dining on five decks and a dining room with 18-foot-tall ceilings on the main deck. A sushi bar. A pizza oven by the huge pool. And of course, the requisite DJ stations when it’s time to party. There’s also a massive cinema that has seating 19 guests on lower deck—the perfect place to just Netflix-n-chill.

And, oh yeah, the spa features hot and cold plunge pools, steam room and sauna, two treatment rooms and a full beauty salon. Contact Burgess for more info.

The all-new exterior lines of Oceanco H3

I’ve seen lots of superyacht designs come to life thanks to the hard work, dedication, perseverance and love that the large fraternity of superyacht designers, builders, artists and countless others pour into every spectacular new yacht that gets launched.

The rebuilt Oceanco H3 got a "rockstar" relaunch.

But I must admit, after seeing the 344-foot-long Oceanco -built (and rebuilt) H3 (first launched in 2000) emerge after an intensive 3-year-rebuild, I’m at a loss for words. I’m in awe, actually. Because after spending time at Oceanco with the project team and the owner's representative , I understand why this project is way more than just a refit.

It’s been transformed into a brand-new yacht with every modern comfort, but also retains its…soul.

The accommodations onboard the 334-foot-long H3 are spectacular

The sustainability impact of this project is also pretty awe-inspiring to me, too. According to Oceanco’s team of engineers, simply using an existing hull instead of building an brand-new one resulted in a 50% reduction of carbon emissions for the build. And since H3 has been repowered with smaller yet much more efficient engines (and her top speed has been reduced slightly), the yacht burns much less fuel than she previously did as well. Delivery time was reduced by 25% as well, and hopefully we see more projects take this approach in the future.

The video wall in the welcome area of the Ocean co H3 is innovative as well as attention grabbing.

Oceanco’s CEO Marcel Onkenhout adds, “To say that this has been a remarkable process is an understatement. The project has called for passion, dedication and extraordinary craftsmanship, with many involved in her creation now contributing to her recreation, including myself.” Contact Edmiston for more info.

Silver Yachts' BOLD is sure to get attention at this years Monaco Yacht Show

The 278-foot-long BOLD is the largest and most aggressive superyacht the Australian-based Silveryachts has ever built. Working in collaboration with yacht designer Espen Øino BOLD brings a whole new look to the explorer yacht category.

There helideck aboard BOLD is...bold!

Amels Full Custom ENERGY will be at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show

The 255-foot-long Amels full-custom yacht ENERGY was created by exterior designer Espen Øino and interior designer Francois Zuretti to provide unapparelled luxury and access to the water.

The top deck’s helipad forward is a versatile space outside heliops—sun lounge, al fresco yoga studio with wraparound ocean views, a space for elevated entertainment served by the statement bar...assorted lounging areas and dayhead inside. The jacuzzi and sun pads aft allow guests to bask in the sun.

The bridge deck music lounge is designed for acoustic excellence. There is a Steinway baby grand piano and marble-topped bar. The entertainment continues in the open-air lounge aft, guests can find some privacy on the sofa forward of the bridge or keep going on the walkaround sidedecks to appreciate the anchorage from every possible vantage point.

Full-height windows in the the owner’s deck bedroom provide direct access to a private foredeck terrace, a hot tub and a mesmerizing marble fire pit. Contact Burgess for more info.

Monaco Yacht Show 2024: The Biggest, Boldest and Most Expensive Superyachts To See

Even in its 33rd year, Monaco Yacht Show continues to break its own milestones.

By Ellys Woodhouse and Toby Louch

nadal yacht monaco

The principality of Monaco has a calendar that’s filled with major events. While the financial benefits of this little tax haven ensure its population remains fairly well stocked with super-rich and socialites year-round, it’s these events that truly bring the masses. April calls for the tennis at The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters; in May it’s time for the Formula One Grand Prix ; June brings the world-famous car show Top Marques ; and summer draws to a close with perhaps the most glam of the bunch, the Monaco Yacht Show, which this year falls on September 25 – 28.

For those interested in gazing upon some of the finest yachts that can be found anywhere in the world, Monaco ’s Port Hercules is a pretty good spot year-round, but for the weekend of the Monaco Yacht Show, things enter a different league.

The Monaco Yacht Show is essentially a gathering of the global superyacht community. From owners to innovators, manufacturers and brokers, all head to the principality. Each year, builders and brokers present around 120 superyachts and 60 luxury tenders , with many of these reflecting current industry trends and revealing the potential future direction of the industry. These vessels boast an average length of around 160 ft, with a sprinkling of superyachts that top the 320 ft mark – with this year’s headliner clocking in at 400 ft.

Aside from the yachts themselves, visitors can expect countless designers improving yacht interiors and engineers working to ensure the industry becomes more sustainable. There’s sure to be a lot going on.

So ahead of this year’s event, Elite Traveler has looked into which yachts will be on display at Port Hercules and curated a list of some of the show’s unmissable vessels. So blow the dust off your Panama hat and add a few zeros to your credit card limit, because these are some of the biggest, boldest and most expensive boats attending the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show.

The undisputed biggest headline of this year’s show – in every sense of the word – Lürssen’s Kismet will be the largest yacht to go on display in Port Hercules. While the previous title holder was another from Lürssen, the 377.6-ft Ahpo, the Kismet takes its victory by a considerable mile, clocking in at 400 ft. Previously known as Project Jag, the Kisamet was handed over to owner Shahid Khan in May 2024, making it one of the show’s newest deliveries, too. 

With exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and naval architecture by Lürssen Yachts along with Reymond Langton Design working on the yacht’s interiors , Kismet is decked out with a helipad, beauty salon, indoor and outdoor cinema, dance floor and gym. Perhaps unsurprising, but all this makes Kisamet one of the most expensive yachts to charter , too, asking for €3m (approx. $3.4m) per week with Cecil Wright & Partners.

Delivered in 2019 by SilverYachts and refitted in 2024, the almost 280-ft, self-described ‘sports activity vessel’ Bold takes center stage at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Designers Espen Øino created the superyacht’s striking, military-inspired exterior, creating a unique glass-enclosed loft on the upper deck that covers over 3,200 sq-ft of interior space. Meanwhile, Vain Interiors has created an opulent, New York-style loft, which is built to accommodate up to 12 overnight guests in eight luxurious staterooms and can carry up to 96 passengers while cruising.

With a a huge selection of water toys, a vast outdoor entertaining area with a bar and Teppanyaki grill, a cinema, an eight-person hot tub and a lounge surrounding a firepit, it’s no surprise that the Bold is a popular charter yacht, with Holl Robinson asking €875,000 ($972, 800) per week.

Following an extensive, three-year rebuild, the most expensive superyacht on the market has returned to Port Hercules for 2024, complete with a new look – and price tag, too, asking for €295m ($328m). The 344.5-ft Oceanco H3 superyacht has already picked up a handful of international awards for the new look and is expected to impress many fans at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. 

In addition to the extra 10 meters that were added to the H3 ’s hull, the rebuild – from the likes of Reymond Langton Design, which worked on both the exterior and interior redesign, and the collaboration between Lateral Naval Architects and Oceanco on its naval architecture – also saw a pool deck, huge spa and wellness area and climate-controlled winter garden added to H3 ’s numerous amenities.

With its distinctive, shark-like exterior design, the 295-ft superyacht DAR will be hard not to miss at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Built by Oceanco with exteriors designed by Luiz de Basto Design, the glossy black silhouette was inspired by the look of the hammerhead shark, with sinuous lines, wide set wing stations and a mast modeled after a dorsal fin. 

Meanwhile, renowned Italy-based studio Nuvolari & Lenard has crafted swooping, contemporary interiors. DAR’s impressive features include a complete owner’s deck, complete with a private salon and jacuzzi, a wellness area, an impressive beach club, and two helipads for private use. Offering grandeur and complete privacy in equal doses, DAR can accommodate up to 14 guests in overnight accommodation, with separate living quarters to host as many as 31 crew members.

Despite only hitting the waters in June this year, the first wallywind110, Galma , is set to make its global debut at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Measuring almost 110 ft, Galma ’s naval architecture comes from German studio judel/vrolijk & co while interior and exterior lines are designed by Wally in collaboration with Santa Maria Magnolfi. With a design that offers the comfort of a cruising yacht while maintaining the performance of a racing boat, Galma is characterized by the 22.6-ft telescopic keel and an all-carbon hull that has been painted in light metallic blue.

Other highlights of Galma include an 860-sq-ft full-beam cockpit with seating and dining for up to 15 people, as well as an open-plan raised saloon. Galma can accommodate up to eight guests overnight, with five crew members.
