While most of us are packing for staycations or planning weekend beach trips, the world’s biggest celebrities are doing summer a little differently.
Think luxury yachts with helipads, private cinemas, and pools floating somewhere off the coast of France or Italy.
From billionaires to movie stars and athletes, it seems everyone with a high-profile name is setting sail—and doing it in style.
Let’s dive into the luxurious lives of the rich and famous and take a look at the jaw-dropping vessels they’re lounging on this season.
Brooklyn Beckham Soaks in the Peltz Family Fortune
Brooklyn Beckham, now 26, isn’t just flexing his cooking skills anymore—he’s been turning heads with his vacation aboard an £85 million superyacht named Project X.
The yacht, which costs around £1.2 million to rent per week, belongs to his in-laws, the ultra-wealthy Peltz family.
Brooklyn and wife Nicola spent the week cruising the Mediterranean in ultimate style with her parents and the rest of the clan.
Interestingly, just days after Brooklyn jetted off, his parents—David and Victoria Beckham—arrived in the exact same area, St. Tropez, on their comparatively modest £16 million yacht.
Awkward family timing? Maybe. But there’s no denying this family knows how to holiday in luxury.
David and Victoria Beckham Cruise on ‘Seven’
David and Victoria Beckham have had their own taste of nautical life since they purchased Seven—a 130ft yacht named after David’s shirt number and their daughter Harper’s middle name.
Bought in 2022, this isn’t their first boat, but it is their biggest yet.
The vessel has five cabins, a 65ft garage for water toys, a jet ski, and a spa bath on the upper deck.
The couple are currently cruising with their younger children—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—narrowly missing Brooklyn and Nicola’s Mediterranean stint.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Floating Mansion
Cristiano Ronaldo, who never does anything halfway, owns an £5.5 million Azimut Grande yacht, which spans 88 feet of pure class.
Complete with five luxury cabins and six bathrooms, it also boasts a full kitchen, massive lounge, and even a lavish dining area.
Spotted recently in Mallorca with partner Georgina Rodriguez and their children, Ronaldo’s yacht travels at speeds up to 28 knots thanks to its twin 1,900 horsepower engines.
The vessel is made of carbon fiber and weighs in at a massive 93 tonnes—because, of course it does.
Conor McGregor’s Supercar of the Sea
UFC star Conor McGregor is no stranger to showing off his wealth.
In 2019, he bought a £3 million Prestige 750 yacht named The 188—a nod to the €188 weekly welfare check he once received in Ireland.
Then in 2021, he upped the game again by purchasing a £2.6 million Lamborghini Tecnomar 63 yacht.
Only 63 exist in the world, and McGregor’s edition hits a blistering 60 knots (69mph).
Sleek, powerful, and futuristic, it lives up to its nickname: the supercar of the sea.
Jeff Bezos’ Record-Breaking Yacht ‘Koru’
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos took luxury to an entirely new level with Koru, the world’s tallest sailing yacht.
Bought for $500 million, Koru spans three decks and includes Jacuzzis, a helipad, and a sun terrace.
It’s reportedly inspired by the Maori symbol for “new beginnings.”
The 230-foot masts and the stunning wooden figurehead (which many say resembles his wife Lauren Sanchez) are just the beginning.
Bezos spends around $25 million annually to run Koru, and he even has a $75 million support vessel named Abeona that follows behind with toys, vehicles, and his helicopter.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Keep it Classy
Actor Jason Statham and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were recently spotted in Italy aboard what’s believed to be the Sunseeker 95 Blue Infinity One.
Although not confirmed to be theirs, the 28-meter yacht is undeniably chic.
With plenty of space for family sunbathing, al fresco meals, and some fun on jet skis and waterboards, the pair shared snaps from the deck that had fans assuming they owned it.
Whether they rented or not—one thing’s clear: this family knows how to vacation.
Steven Spielberg’s Tribute to the Seven Seas
Legendary director Steven Spielberg sails in a 357ft superyacht aptly named Seven Seas, reportedly worth $250 million.
Built in the Netherlands in 2022, it can accommodate 14 guests and up to 30 crew members.
Named as a tribute to both the seven oceans and Spielberg’s seven children, the yacht comes with multiple pools, spa areas, and even a rumored helipad.
Its twin diesel engines push out nearly 5,000 horsepower each, helping it cruise smoothly wherever the Spielberg family desires.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Birthday Boat
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave himself a little birthday present in 2024: a $300 million yacht called Launchpad.
The 387-foot vessel can house 24 guests and has room for 48 crew members.
Features? Try a cinema, beauty center, beach club, and even its own aircraft hangar.
Launchpad was built in the Netherlands and designed by top yacht architects and interior designers.
It also comes with a smaller “support yacht” called Wingman—because why have one when you can have two?
Elton John’s Elegant ‘Wabi Sabi’
Sir Elton John’s yacht Wabi Sabi was designed with his personal tastes in mind.
The sleek white vessel is worth over £23 million and fits up to 18 guests across eight luxury cabins.
The superstar is known to host celebrity friends like Bill Gates onboard.
The boat is often seen cruising picturesque coastlines, easily identified by its clean lines and pristine deck space.
Bill Gates’ Groundbreaking Hydrogen Yacht
Speaking of Gates, the Microsoft billionaire is believed to own Breakthrough, a massive 390-foot hydrogen-powered superyacht valued at $645 million.
It’s set to make waves (literally) at the Monaco Yacht Show this September.
This futuristic ship includes a basketball court, cinema, infinity pool, 15 luxury cabins, and even a private hospital.
Gates’ private quarters span four decks, making it a floating townhouse on the water—with 14 secret balconies that pop out at the touch of a button.
Michael Jordan’s Sporting Ship ‘M’BRACE’
NBA legend Michael Jordan enjoys his downtime aboard M’BRACE, a $115 million yacht he bought in 2022.
The 244-foot vessel features eight cabins for 12 guests, plus room for 24 crew.
Originally built for a British businessman, the ship includes a full pool and expansive decks.
Not to be outdone, Jordan also owns a smaller yacht named Joy, worth a casual $80 million.
When Your Summer Plans Involve a Helipad
If there’s one thing this summer has shown, it’s that the sea is the new playground for the world’s richest celebrities.
From retired athletes and actors to tech tycoons and billionaires, their superyachts are more than just vessels—they’re floating empires of luxury.
So, next time you pack your beach towel and cooler, just know there’s probably a celebrity passing overhead in a helicopter, en route to their infinity pool at sea.
