Nadal getting married might bring on a 2 year romp of dominance!
Gorgeous picture. The Beethoven anchored behind them as the boys dine out at a seafront restaurant at sunset. Tough life, eh?
Latest word on Rafa's new boat. He won't get delivery of it til next year though so the article is wrong on him and Mery using it for their honeymoon.

Goodbye to 'Beethoven': this will be Rafa Nadal's new luxury superyacht

A true floating hotel, conceived to enjoy long nautical crossings with all imaginable luxuries. This will be the new superyacht of Rafa Nadal , the substitute of the 'Beethoven', which is on sale for 2.6 million euros. 23.9 meters long (approx. 80 ft) and 12 meters wide define the characteristics of this power catamaran that is currently being manufactured by Sunreef Yatchs. It will be delivered throughout the first half of 2020 and its price is kept secret, although it will move in a range that fluctuates between 3.5 and 5 million euros, depending on the equipment included in the ship.
Rafa Nadal made the decision to acquire a luxury catamaran after the experience he enjoyed last year, when he embarked on another similar boat of the same company on a family trip through the Bahamas. There he was captivated by the excellence of the ship and decided to acquire one. But not just any one, because the new 80 Sunreef Power of the tennis player will be of a superior dimension. In fact, it is the first to manufacture Sunreef Yachts of these characteristics, and will be customized according to the preferences of the world number 2, which will sail on board a real luxury resort with capacity to accommodate up to 12 passengers in its seven cabins , equipped with every imaginable comfort.
One of the star characteristics of the catamaran will be the master suite that can be configured in the bow section of the main deck. With a double bed that overlooks the foredeck , a bathroom with walk-in shower, dressing room and desk, the suite will be bathed in sunshine from the skylight glass. The same space can also be used to install a large lounge with ample seating and access to the foredeck.
According to the information published on the website of the construction company, the 80 Sunreef Power incorporates classic stainless steel gates, covered with teak soles, large bastions and subtle lighting environment. Its huge garage combined with an aft platform allows you to take your boat, numerous water toys and jet skis wherever you go. Easy to access from the lounge, the yacht's full beam bow terrace is a spacious and relaxing refuge with an incredible amount of space for sunbathing and resting. The huge flybridge of 80 Sunreef Power offers enough space to house a whirlpool, a bar with a sink and generous seats everywhere.
The dimensions of the catamaran, much higher than usual, will force reforms at the Porto Cristo dock where it will be moored, in order to guarantee the maneuverability and parking of a ship that will of course attract attention from the first day. Anyway, the 'Beethoven' was already the largest yacht of those who were moored in Porto Cristo.

Rafa Nadal has been for years as a great fan of nautical cruises and enjoy the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, where he usually travel at least once a year in order to disconnect from the busy season in the professional circuit of the ATP The tennis player has also invited his closest friends to excursions on the Mediterranean Sea on board the 'Beethoven' on more than one occasion. Now you have a new 'toy' to boast, a catamaran of extreme luxury with the can travel long distances thanks to its two tanks of 5,000 and 8,000 liters of gasoline. A unique yacht for a unique tennis player, the best of all time on clay.
Rafa Nadal will also have the opportunity to premiere the catamaran coinciding with his marriage to Xisca Perelló, scheduled for next autumn, although the date is not yet official, and will undoubtedly become one of the great social events of the year. A honeymoon aboard the 80 Sunreef Power would undoubtedly be an idyllic landscape for the new Mallorcan couple ... and for anyone, of course.

Oh well, at least there are a couple good pictures. I can just imagine how crazy the coverage is going to get as the date draws closer. 
Any Spanish speakers that can help?)

C'mon MN! You're a fellow foodie. Gotta try it someday. I've had calamari before and didnt think I'd like it, but I did. They say octopus tastes lighter and isn't as tough/chewy as calamari. My favorite seafood is shrimp though, by farOctopus? Gross

A lovely write-up of the royal visit from the local Mallorcan newspaper (properly translated) and reposting of a picture I think Rafa and Mery should have framed for posterity.
On Friday 26 July, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia paid a private visit to the Rafael Nadal Academy and Sports Centre in Manacor.
They were greeted at the entrance by Maria Francisca Perelló and inside by Rafa's parents who gave them a tour of the centre's installations where, after morning practice was over, they were joined by Rafa for refreshments in the cafeteria.
After the visit to the academy and sports centre, they all went on to have a three-hour long lunch (of all kinds of fish and seafood) at the Nadal family owned restaurant, Sa Punta, near Cala Bona (Son Servera).
Both Rafa's and Maria Francisca's parents were present in the group of 16, as were uncle Miguel Angel Nadal (co-owner of the restaurant), Rafa's maternal grandparents and paternal grandmother and his sister Maribel. While all the others said their goodbyes and got into cars at the main entrance, Rafa and Mery (who had arrived in the back of his parents' KIA car) and another young couple sped off in a launch to continue their afternoon on his yacht Beethoven, which was anchored offshore in front of the restaurant.
You should cut back on your buffalo wings for a bit and save your money to go visit it. From reports from VBers who've gone it's quite something to see and apparently the hotel accommodations are great too and it's a short trip by bus to the harbor at Porto Cristo which is beautiful and you might get to see Rafa's yacht too after watching one of his amazing practice sessions.His museum is cool af
