Charles Leclerc Takes Delivery of £15M Riva 102′ Corsaro Super Superyacht at La Spezia Ceremony

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took formal possession of a Riva 102′ Corsaro Super on May 7, 2026, at a private handover ceremony held in La Spezia, Italy. The Monegasque driver was joined by his wife, Alexandra, and was received by Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi to mark the occasion. The vessel is estimated to carry a value of approximately £15 million.

The delivery carries broader significance for the Italian shipyard, as the vessel represents the 20th hull produced under the flagship flybridge model line. According to reports from Pulse Sports, the handover was formalised at the port city of La Spezia, a longstanding hub for Italian luxury yacht deliveries.

Measuring 31 metres in length, the Corsaro Super is powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, giving the vessel a top speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 24 knots — specifications suited to extended Mediterranean passages. The interior reflects Leclerc’s personal aesthetic, with Calacatta Vagli Oro marble featured in the master suite and furnishings supplied by Italian design house Minotti. The yacht’s flybridge includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, while the main lounge integrates a Bang & Olufsen audio system.

Leclerc’s relationship with the Riva brand stretches back to 2020, when he purchased a Riva 48′ Dolceriva — a vessel he named “Monza” in tribute to his first Italian Grand Prix victory. The progression through the Riva range has tracked closely with his rise in Formula 1. By 2022, he had acquired a Riva 66′ Ribelle, which he christened “Sedici”, a reference to his racing number, 16. Most recently, a Riva 82′ Diva was delivered to him in early 2026, a model recognised for its expansive outdoor beach club.

Whether the Corsaro Super represents a complete transition or the latest addition to a growing fleet remains unclear. Industry sources suggest Leclerc may currently operate three Riva vessels — the 66′ Ribelle, the 82′ Diva, and the newly delivered 102′ Corsaro Super — though maritime sources characterise the acquisitions primarily as a series of progressive upgrades within the same brand family. No official statement has been issued regarding the status of the earlier vessels.

On the track, Leclerc enters the second half of the 2026 Formula 1 season as one of Ferrari’s lead contenders, with the Scuderia working to close the gap on the championship frontrunners. His loyalty to the Riva marque, spanning six years and at least four documented vessels, has positioned him as one of the brand’s most prominent and consistent ambassadors in global motorsport.
