Rafa Nadal, one of the world’s most famous sports stars, has received his customised 80 Sunreef Power catamaran, Great White, in Spain.

A winner of 19 Grand Slam singles titles, Nadal lives with his wife Maria on the island of Mallorca, where the tennis legend’s childhood included spending time boating with his family.
Fitted with twin 1200hp engines, Great White is created for long offshore cruising and offers 360sqm (3,875sqft) of living area. The personalised interiors are in beige, cream and coffee colours.
Great White features a drop-down balcony in the master suite
Features include a huge main-deck saloon with access to the front terrace, an owner’s suite with drop-down side balcony, luxurious ensuite guest cabins, a spacious flybridge with bar, barbecue and relaxation area, plus a stern garage for a jetski.
Nadal’s Great White was launched last month at the Sunreef Yachts shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, before it was delivered to Spain.

Francis Lapp, founder and President of Sunreef Yachts, said: “This is an unforgettable event for our shipyard to hand over the yacht to such an amazing person and athlete as Rafael Nadal.
“My team in Gdansk made every effort to create the yacht Rafa and Maria dreamed of. I am convinced that they will have a great time with their friends and family on board.”
The luxurious cabins feature large windows and ensuite bathrooms
Great White is hull four of the 80 Sunreef Power, a model only launched at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, which Nadal attended after already ordering the model.
Before commissioning the 80 Sunreef Power, Nadal and his family chartered a Sunreef sailing catamaran.
