Monegasque pilot Charles Leclerc, star of Ferrari in Fórmula 1, acquired a new luxury vessel valued at approximately R$74 million. The Riva 102′ Corsaro Super model was handed over to the athlete and his wife, Alexandra Saint Mleux, during an official ceremony held at La Spezia, at Itália. Batizado from Sedici, the yacht makes direct reference to the number 16, used by the competitor on the tracks in the highest category of world motorsport.
The new acquisition represents a leap in exclusivity and technological performance for the driver’s leisure time outside the circuits. Leclerc actively participated in the customization process, choosing everything from the internal furniture to specific components of the vessel’s comfort engineering. Trata is the 20th unit produced of this specific model, which consolidates the evolution of the Corsaro line in the high-end nautical market.

The vessel stands out not only for its market value, but for its ability to combine speed and sophistication on the high seas. Equipado to reach a maximum speed of 28 knots, the equivalent of almost 52 km/h, the Sedici has an optimized structure for extended cruises. The manufacturer allowed the ferrarista to select exclusive accessories and decorations for the interior, ensuring that the space reflects the couple’s personal style.

The exterior design maintains the aggressive and aerodynamic lines that are the Riva’s trademark, while the interior space was planned to maximize the entry of natural light. The flybridge, an area located above the cockpit, functions as a complete living center for the pilot’s guests. In the Neste space, equipment such as a large barbecue grill, induction system for food preparation and multiple refrigerators with integrated ice machines were installed.
Infraestrutura for leisure and direct access to the sea
One of the highlights of the project chosen by Leclerc is the integration with the marine environment through a spacious stern. The area offers easy access to the water, with an inflatable platform for the use of water toys and diving equipment. Além In addition, the vessel has a swimming ladder and a customized access ramp, facilitating boarding and disembarking in different docking conditions.
The stabilization technology of the Corsaro Super model ensures that comfort is maintained even in rougher waters. Charles Leclerc, which already had a smaller vessel previously, sought in this new project greater autonomy for summer trips during breaks in the Fórmula 1 calendar. The investment reinforces the tendency of elite motorsport pilots to invest in luxury nautical assets as a haven of privacy.

Leclerc’s financial move into the naval sector comes shortly after its main rival, Max Verstappen, also expanded its private fleet. In early 2025, the Dutch pilot of Red Bull received a Mangusta GranSport 33 yacht, valued at around 12.3 million dollars. The competition between athletes seems to spill over from the tracks to European marinas, where the search for increasingly faster and more technological models has become a standard among champions.
The choice of Riva, a historic Italian brand, also reinforces Leclerc’s emotional connection with the culture of the country where Ferrari is based. Enquanto pilot prepares for the technical challenges of the 2026 season, with regulatory changes expected for the engines in the following years, Sedici will serve as a rest base on the Mediterranean coast. Especialistas from the nautical sector point out that vessels with this level of customization tend to maintain high resale value due to the exclusivity of the Corsaro Super series.
The delivery to La Spezia marks a new phase in the pilot’s personal life, who recently made his union with Alexandra official. The couple plans to use the yacht for private itineraries on the Europa between the World Cup stages. With delivery complete, Sedici now heads to its home marina, ready to sail under the command of one of the most influential names in motorsport today.
