Public information shows that Nadal owns a 23.95-meter Sunreef power catamaran named 'Great White' (below) and also serves as a brand ambassador for Sunreef Yachts. Launched in 2020, the yacht can accommodate 10 guests and 4 crew members.

The press release states that Aspemir's involvement strengthens the project's connection with Spain and the Mediterranean region, including the communities of Mallorca and the Balearic Islands. Additionally, OPM will place special emphasis on marine environmental protection, such as the conservation of Posidonia seagrass.

Aspemir will join OPM's shareholder group, which includes majority shareholder Ocean Capital Partners (OCP), Grupo Empresas Matutes, and investor Domingo de Torres.

José Luis Almazán, Managing Partner of Ocean Capital Partners, said: "Aspemir's participation is a benchmark endorsement of our project, through which we aim to promote large-yacht activities with sustainable, cutting-edge facilities while fostering deep integration between ports and cities."
