Formula 1 is not just about speed on the track, as most people think. It is also about flexing style and power off it, especially when it comes to yachts. At the Monte-Carlo Grand Prix, these floating palaces are as much a spectacle as the race itself.
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are not just titans behind the wheel. They are also yacht owners with a taste for the spectacular. Their yachts will take center stage in Monaco this week, drawing VIPs, celebs, and fellow drivers for exclusive race views and after parties that redefine luxury.
Lawrence Stroll's 'Faith'
F1 driver Lance Stroll's father and Aston Martin F1 team owner Lawrence Stroll does it big every time. But this time, he made a rare exception. His brand-new Feadship ‘Faith’ is 262 feet of hybrid-powered class, downsized from his previous 317-foot version. Why the size cut? He wants to fit into more exclusive marinas.
Yacht Fans / IG / Stroll’s ‘Faith’ has 2,500 gross tonnes of pure elegance, with interiors worthy of a luxury hotel.
Delivered just in time for this F1 season, it is a bold mix of engineering and design, and a serious flex at Port Hercule.
Max Verstappen's ‘Unleash The Lion’
Racer Max Verstappen is not just tearing up the F1 circuit; he is making waves off it, too. His $15 million Mangusta GranSport 33, named ‘Unleash The Lion,’ is as aggressive as it sounds. It can hit 26 knots thanks to its innovative engine setup.
Built with precision and sleek flair, it is roomy, powerful, and perfect for Mediterranean cruising. It is a smart mix of race-day spirit and yacht-life luxury.
Expect Verstappen’s boat to be one of the loudest statements in Monaco this year.
Nico Rosberg's Sunreef 80 Eco
Nico Rosberg took a different route. The former champ and now full-time eco-warrior went for a solar-powered catamaran, the Sunreef 80 Eco. This has got solar panels baked into the hull and runs on battery banks and wind turbines.
Rosberg walks the talk. As a major voice in the sustainability space and founder of the GreenTech Festival, he made sure his yacht reflects his mission. Quiet, clean, and futuristic, it is his way of staying in the game without leaving a footprint.
Lewis Hamilton's Sunseeker 90
Star F1 driver Lewis Hamilton knows how to live. When he is not chasing another title, he is often found chilling on his Sunseeker 90. It has been docked at Port Hercule for years, ready to fire up whenever the F1 champ wants to break away from the buzz.
Hamilton / IG / Lewis Hamilton’s $4 million ‘Sunseeker’ is one of the sleek yachts owned by F1 racers.
Bought for around $4 million in 2009, the 90-footer sleeps eight, moves at 30 knots, and delivers comfort with an edge. It has Hamilton’s signature all over it: clean, powerful, and always the life of the party.
During Grand Prix week, it transforms into one of Monaco’s hottest spots.
Eddie Jordan’s 'Blush'
Eddie Jordan may be gone, but his yacht legacy lives on strong. His standout ride was Blush, a 155-foot Sunseeker that cost him $42 million. When he was not racing yachts, he was turning them into floating nightclubs.
Before ‘Blush,’ Jordan owned a sailing yacht named Lush. After a few ownership shuffles and some impressive regatta runs, he circled back to sailboats with a new Blush, a 149-foot Perini Navi.
