The stunning vessel sleeps eight people in its four bedrooms, so it’s no surprise that the 18-time Grand Slam winner has previously stated that it feels like his home.
Nadal paid £2.6 million for his luxury yacht in 2016

The Spanish tennis star is selling his incredible yacht
Nadal, 33, paid £2.6 million for the yacht in 2016 and was photographed soaking up the Ibiza sun on it after his Wimbledon final loss to Novak Djokovic last year, but he is now selling it with Camper and Nicholsons.
Beethoven was built by Monte Carlo Yachts as the MCY 76 model, and it can cruise the waves at a top speed of 35mph.
Nadal, who is worth around £28 million and is from the Balearic Island of Majorca, has always been surrounded by water and uses his boat to get some privacy.
“To me, being on board the Monte Carlo Yacht 76 gives me the opportunity to get away when I want to get away,” he told Barche magazine.
He says he chose the MCY 76 after attending the Cannes Boat Show in 2013. Having previously owned a Princess V62, Nadal desired a larger boat with a sleeker, more sporty, and more modern design.

The 18-time Grand Slam winner commissioned Beethoven with that eye-catching deep Mediterranean-blue hull color and white topsides, as well as a carbon-fiber flybridge hardtop with retractable sunroof.
Foredeck lounging
Inside, he went with a four-stateroom layout that included a full-beam master suite with an angled bed, a forward VIP, and two twins. To avoid upsetting the balance, he chose muted colors for the upholstery, including a lot of grays and soft beige.
Main deck
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.”

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
“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 is very important in my current lifestyle. I love the sea and believe I could live on it, so perhaps in the future I will spend a lot of time on board; it’s something I enjoy as a lifestyle.”
Nadal, who has chastised Wimbledon officials for relegating him down the Wimbledon seeding, has admitted that he is not in command of the ship and has a captain.
“I need a captain,” he added. I am not always available.
“I believe you need a captain for this type of yacht.” I’m gone for more than half the year, so I need someone to look after everything.”
It’s unclear why Nadal is selling the yacht, but reports suggest it’s because he’s thinking about upgrading.
