Inside Max Verstappen's luxury £11m yacht spotted at F1 Monaco Grand Prix
Four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen owns a luxury Mangusta yacht.
F1 world champion Max Verstappen's luxury yacht has arrived at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver now owns a 33-metre Mangusta GranSport 33 after placing an order two years ago.
It is estimated to have cost $15m (£11m) according to Joe Pompliano, a sports-business reporter.
Verstappen was reportedly joined by partner Kelly Piquet in the Italian port city of Viareggio and the Mangusta shipyard to collect it earlier this year.
The Dutchman named the yacht ‘Unleash the Lion’.
It is accompanying him this weekend at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.

The yacht is 190 feet with five cabins. Verstappen can welcome up to 12 guests.
He must spend $1m (£738,000) on annual unkeep.
An online video of another Mangusta GranSport 33, similar to Verstappen's, shows the incredible interior.
There is a swimming pool on the bottom deck and a balcony on the top deck.
There are state rooms and a salon, and an area to store a speed boat.
It adds to Verstappen’s growing list of luxuries. He already owns a Dassault Falcon 900EX private jet.
The jet was acquired from Sir Richard Branson for approximately $15m. It features a unique livery, has long range flying capabilities, and space for up to 12 passengers.
It does not, however, include a racing simulator, a story which was incorrectly widely reported.
Back in 2023, Verstappen cleared up the confusion, saying: “That was Helmut I think who said that, but I think he misunderstood, because I was talking to him last year.
“I'm building a new motorhome for travelling through Europe to the F1 races and I said I will install one there because I just can keep on driving when I'm back in the evening.
“Because I like it, it's my hobby in a way, and it just keeps you sharp as well. So I think he misunderstood, and he said plane!
“So I'm not installing one in my plane. I think that will be a bit absurd.”
Verstappen can certainly afford such luxuries.
He will earn $78 million in 2025, Forbes reported.
