– After the exhausting Formula 1 race weekend in Miami, there was a very special highlight for Charles Leclerc off the racetrack. The Ferrari driver received his brand new luxury yacht. The impressive ship from the brand Riva is estimated to have cost around 20 million US dollars (currently around 17 million euros).

The Monegasque traveled on May 7th together with his wife Alexandra to the Riva shipyard in La Spezia, Italy. In an exclusive ceremony, the custom-made ship was officially christened. A video of this moment has already become a huge hit on social media. It shows Alexandra smashing the traditional champagne bottle on the bow of the “Riva 102 Corsaro Super.” The clip alone gathered almost half a million views in a very short time at Riva.
Alberto Galassi, CEO of the Ferretti Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the prominent regular customer during the handover. “Charles’ passion for Riva, which of course is mutual, is a testament to quality and beauty that we welcome with boundless joy,” Galassi explained.
“When such a formidable driver and an icon of style and elegance chooses one of our boats again, it means that Riva offers incomparable standards in terms of beauty, quality of life, and technology. Thank you again, Charles. Have fun and enjoy the water on your new Riva!”

Technically, the Formula 1 star’s new toy also plays in the top league. The yacht is powered by two MTU engines with 2638 hp each. This allows the ship to reach a top speed of 28 knots. State-of-the-art stabilization technology also ensures that Leclerc stays in rhythm even in rough seas.

The interior leaves nothing to be desired. The cabins are equipped with luxury bedding from Frette and the food is served on Christofle tableware. The master suite shines with polished Calacatta marble and a sound system from Bang & Olufsen. Anyone looking for Leclerc in the summer will probably find him on the 35 square meter beach club at the stern, which offers direct access to the sea.
