Nadal’s New Yacht, Maybe Coming to an Island Near You!
The Caribbean is the yachting destination of the rich and famous. Rafael Nadal may soon come this way, if his outings to the Bahamas are any indication.
The Caribbean is no stranger as a yachting destination of the rich and famous. Bob Geffen’s Rising Sun, Roman Abramovich’s Eclipse and Bernard Arnault’s Symphony have all plied these waters. The latest celebrity that may soon come this way, if his outings to the Bahamas last year are any indication, is tennis star, Rafael Nadal. Nadal picked up a brand new Sunreef 80 in June. Built at Sunreef Yachts shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, the 80-foot catamaran was officially delivered to Nadal at his birthplace of Mallorca by the president and founder of the eco-luxury catamaran builder, Francis Lapp.
“This is an unforgettable event for our shipyard to hand over the yacht to such an amazing person and athlete as is Rafael Nadal. My team in Gdańsk made every effort to create the yacht Rafa and his wife Maria dreamed of. I am convinced that they will have a great time with their friends and family on board,” said Lapp, in a release.
The 80 Sunreef Power yacht ordered by Nadal, priced at $6.2 million, is an ultramodern multihull vessel created for long offshore cruises in comfort.
There are over 3,800-square feet of living area, with fully personalized interiors, including an impressive main deck saloon with access to the front terrace, an owner’s suite with an opening side balcony and luxurious guest cabins with en-suite bathrooms. Among the yacht’s most spectacular features are a spacious flybridge with bar, barbeque and relaxation area as well as a stern garage for jet skis. www.sunreef-yachts.com
