Leandro spotted Mates, Italian footballer Roberto Mancini's new custom-made sports yacht, in the waters of Caprera Island.

Kifaru, which means Rhinoceros in Swahili, is a new Italian yacht company, founded in 2008, as a collaboration between the Sarti family, who were behind Tecnomar until 2008, and Roberto Mancini, the well-known Italian footballer and coach.
