MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi buys a new yacht!

The news has been circulating for a few weeks and now it seems absolutely confirmed. The motorcycling champion Valentino Rossi is preparing to inaugurate a new yacht that will replace his dated Mochi Craft.

From the latest rumors, it seems that the new jewel is about to undergo the launching and then move on to the final set-up and delivery, which however will not take place before the month of May 2021.

A great and beloved two wheels champion

The nine-time world champion, at the age of 41 (42 in a month), is preparing to begin his 26th motorcycle season under the name of change. After years of success and great victories, “the Doctor”, this is his nickname, will no longer be riding the Yamaha team’s trusted M1 but will race with the Yamaha Petronas satellite team alongside his friend and student at the rider academy VR46, Franco Morbidelli.

In short, 2021 opens with a series of changes for Valentino, and one of these concerns his “home” on the sea.

It will be called Titilla III

It seems that this will be the name chosen for the new Valentino Rossi boat, in the name of continuity with its predecessors.

The Titilla and the Titilla II are in fact the names chosen for his previous yachts. The first of the two was a Pershing while the second (and still Valentino’s current yacht), is a 24-meter Mochi Craft Dolphin class, a brand now controlled by the Ferretti group.

This brand, called Nobil Yacht, enjoyed an excellent reputation up to ten years ago and was all the rage among those entering the world of yachts. Its charm as “lady of the sea” is mainly due to its comfort and spaciousness which compensate for a not very high speed.

Still, according to rumors, it seems that the latter has now been sold by Rossi to a French collector for a figure of around one million euros.

Eventually a Sanlorenzo, but doubt remains!

At first, the rumors concerning Valentino Rossi’s new yacht spoke of a Pershing already in production in the Mondolfo shipyards, the Pershing-Ferretti group headquarters.

In reality, the first rumors turned out to be false while the Doctor was choosing a model from the Sanlorenzo house in La Spezia.

What still remains uncertain is the choice of the model. According to someone, it should be the almost 23 meters long SX76 model while for others the about 26 meters SX88.

What seems instead certain is the basic cost of these yacht models, each one between 4 and 5 million euros. With the customizations requested by Valentino Rossi, the final price could be close to 9 million.

What kind of boats are we talking about?

Well. Surely both boats don’t leave anything to chance, as is the practice for the Sanlorenzo house. Starting with refined furnishings and fine finishes.

SX76 has a length of 23.4 meters and a maximum width of 6.6 meters. It is served by a 1300 liter water tank and a 4350-liter fuel tank that powers two 800 horsepower engines. 

There are two guest cabins: the owner’s suite in the center of the ship and the VIP cabin at the bow. Both equipped with a bathroom and a walk-in closet.

The on-board service is managed by a crew of 3 people.

With a length of 26.7 meters, a width of 7.2, and a maximum speed of 23 knots, the SX88 is instead considered the big brother of the SX76. It is characterized by the wheelhouse positioned exclusively on the flybridge, leaving more space and more solutions to the main deck furnishings.

It is powered by 3 800 horsepower engines and has a fuel tank of over 9,000 liters.

The larger size of this model allows it to accommodate up to 8 guests and 3 crew members.
