Lionel Messi Adds a New Sunreef to His Fleet

Lionel Messi is adding another yacht to his fleet, and this one is a real head-turner. The football star’s new Sunreef ULTIMA 88 power catamaran is now under construction and will soon bring a new level of luxury to his Balearic yacht charter offerings.

The ULTIMA 88, to be called the MIM OCEAN 10, will join Messi’s existing fleet of three Bali catamarans: the MIM OCEAN 1, MIM OCEAN 2, and MIM OCEAN 3. These smaller multihulls already cruise the stunning Balearics, letting guests explore the Spanish islands from the comfort of a private yacht.

The ULTIMA 88 will become the first Sunreef yacht in Messi’s MIM OCEAN fleet, marking an exciting addition to his growing yachting venture. Messi has also expressed his enthusiasm for the yacht’s design and features, particularly the opportunity to spend time aboard with his family.

A Peek Inside Lionel Messi’s New Yacht

The MIM OCEAN 10 puts a fresh spin on the classic catamaran. Her sleek, sporty exterior has the look of a power yacht, while the multihull design offers plenty of room to spread out. A shallow draft also makes it well suited to exploring the Balearics, including the quieter coves around Mallorca and Ibiza.

Inside, the yacht is expected to feature 5 luxurious cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite. With its sleek design and generous space throughout, the ULTIMA 88 is shaping up to be an exceptional yacht for exploring the Mediterranean.

1. Incredible nightlife. The reason Ibiza has been and still is the top destination for party-goers worldwide. Famed nightclubs include Space, Amnesia, Privilege, Pacha, Sankeys and Es Paradis. Each club has a world-famous mega DJ as a resident on a nightly basis giving you massive goody bag of global superstars to choose from every evening!

2. It will surprise you! Whilst Ibiza is famous for its booming towns and attracting the young, rich and famous to let their hair down, a vast area of the island is in fact protected National Parkland. This means in between enjoying the most hedonistic holiday of your lifetime you can really enjoy that ‘getting away from it all’ feeling. Ibiza boats many beautiful, secluded and almost deserted bays in which you can anchor and relax on an empty beach or if you’re lucky find a rare beach club and enjoy lunch with your feet in the water.

As well as this, just a short cruise along the coast you’ll find Formentera, also known as the “Pine Islands.” Beautiful white sandy beaches with turquoise, shallow and crystal clear waters await you in this quiet and tranquil paradise. Isolated anchorages provide the perfect place to enjoy the stunning backdrop of the golden sandy islands.
