Harmony at Sea: Rafa Nadal’s ‘Beethoven’ Yacht – A Musical Voyage

It’s no wonder that the 18-time Grand Slam champion would call this beautiful vessel “home,” since it has enough space to accommodate eight people in its four bedrooms.

The Spanish tennis star is selling his incredible yacht

Nadal, 33, is selling the boat he purchased in 2016 for £2.6 million with Camper & Nicholsons after he was spotted basking in the Ibiza sun on board after his Wimbledon final defeat to Novak Djokovic last year.

Beethoven is a Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 76, and its peak speed when out on the water is 35 knots.

Nadal, who is worth an estimated £28 million, is from the Balearic Island of Majorca, where he has always been surrounded by water.

He explained his love of yachting to Barche magazine, saying, “Being on board the Monte Carlo Yacht 76 gives me the opportunity to get away when I want to get away.”

After visiting the 2013 Cannes Boat Show, he decided on the MCY 76. Nadal wanted to upgrade from his Princess V62 to a bigger boat with a more contemporary and sporting look.

He opted for a four-stateroom arrangement that included a front VIP stateroom, a master suite with a full-beam angled bed, and two twins. To keep things from seeming too off, he went with a lot of neutral grays and a soft beige for the upholstery.

The tennis star was adamant about one feature: plenty of retractable TVs. “I sometimes come on board and live here,” he explained to Yachting, “so I like to be on a sofa and watch TV in comfort.” It’s incredible for me with the home cinema and two TVs.”

Main saloon

There has been no word on what ‘Rafa’ intends to do when Beethoven sells. What is unlikely is that he will upgrade to a much larger yacht. His home port of Porto Cristo on Mallorca’s southeast coast appears to be limited to yachts of up to 25 meters (82 feet).

Don’t be surprised if Nadal arrives in Porto Cristo aboard one of Monte Carlo Yachts’ brand-new MCY 80 yachts—perfect at 24.62 meters in length (80 feet).

TIME FOR PRIVACY

To to the author, “I love being with people, but it also allows me to get away and be with myself, or only with the people I want to be with, whenever I need to.”

That’s crucial to my way of life right now. Since I consider sailing a viable way of life, I anticipate spending a great deal of time at sea in the future.

Nadal has conceded that he does not have command of the ship and has a captain, despite his criticism of Wimbledon authorities for lowering his seeding.

“I need a captain,” he continued. My availability varies.

The vessel needs a skipper, in my opinion. I have to be away for about half the year, so please take care of things while I’m gone.

It is unknown why Nadal is selling the boat, but rumors have it that he is considering an upgrade.
