Born and raised in the Principality of Monaco, Charles Leclerc learned to swim in the pools next to the Formula 1 street circuit. “But more than that, I can’t live without going to the beach” he said several times. And if as a young man, as soon as the heat came, he threw himself into the water on the Larvotto beach, once he became one of the stars of the F1 World Championship, he decided that it was much more fun to go out to sea with a yacht.
Thus, in August 2020, he purchased a 48 Dolceriva, 15 meters long, with two cabins, capable of comfortably accommodating four guests. It reaches the maximum speed of 35 knots (almost 65 km / h), costs over two million euros. Charles called it Monza, to commemorate his success in the 2019 Italian Grand Prix for Ferrari. Choosing Riva is no coincidence: beyond the prestige, the Sarnico shipyard has had a partnership relationship with Ferrari for two years, with the logo present on the car and on the helmets of the two drivers.
Now, on the Instagram profile, the Ferrari driver takes a bath with the new jewel behind him: Sedici (sixteen in Italian) – that is, his race number – is a new beautiful Riva. The sportfly 66 Ribelle, over 20 meters long, launched in 2018 which reinterprets the lines and shapes of the 80s yachts in a modern way, starting with the flybridge. It is equipped with two 1550 hp Man engines for a cruising speed of 33 knots (61 km / h) with maximum peaks of 37 (68.5 km / h). It has a good range (with a full 250 nautical miles, 463 km) and can accommodate up to 12 people on board, in three cabins. the owner’s one, a Vip and a double room.
A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP – The cost, according to rumors, should be around 4 million euros, including customizations: not at all a small amount, even if the ‘Little Prince’ seems to earn over 10 million euros per season. But we must keep in mind some aspects that have certainly led to an important discount: the aforementioned partnership relationship between Scuderia Ferrari and Riva, the fact that the Sarnico shipyard is part of the Ferretti Group which since 2016 has Piero Ferrari as one of the owners and Charles Leclerc was a testimonial for them on several occasions.

The last one is the spectacular short film made to celebrate the shipyard’s 180th anniversary and the 60th anniversary of the legendary Acquarama: in the ironic action movie, Charles invites well-knwon figures such as David Beckham and Pierfrancesco Favino (aboard a Rivamare) and asks them to compete with him on a track for electric models. In short, a favorable price for Charles Leclerc is more than credible.
