The Formula 1 summer break has provided a glimpse into the luxurious maritime lifestyles of the sport's biggest names, with several drivers and team principals showcasing their impressive yacht collections worth millions of pounds.
Leading the fleet is Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, who owns a third of the Mercedes team and boasts a net worth exceeding €1 billion.
His Mangusta 165 yacht, valued at approximately €22 million, spans 50 meters in length and can reach speeds of 30mph.
The vessel accommodates up to 12 guests across five bedrooms and features luxury amenities including a jacuzzi and jet skis, typically moored near Wolff's Monaco base.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton owns a Sunseeker 90 purchased for around €2 million in 2009, shortly after his maiden world title.
The 28-meter vessel can accommodate eight people and boasts American walnut woodwork, air conditioning, and comprehensive entertainment areas, capable of nearly 35mph.
Ferrari star Charles Leclerc, the Monaco native, has invested in not one but two yachts: the Riva 66 Ribelle Sedici and the Riva Dolceriva Monza.
The former, frequently featured on Leclerc's social media, measures 20 meters and can exceed 40mph, while the Monza was purchased for over €1 million in 2020 to commemorate his 2019 Italian Grand Prix victory.
Max Verstappen also maintains a presence on the water with his 33-meter vessel 'Unleast the Lion,' described as resembling a 'Bond villain's weekend getaway.' The boat sleeps 12 guests and five crew members, featuring a rear deck with white sofas and space for a speedboat, plus a large master cabin.
These floating palaces represent just a fraction of the wealth accumulated by F1's elite, demonstrating how the sport's commercial success has translated into extraordinary personal luxury.
