Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo sails in style with his $7 million superyacht.

Quick Links

A superyacht for the family, the numerous amenities inside the yacht, a luxurious getaway.

Cristiano Ronaldo's unmatched talent and hard work have made him one of the greatest players in soccer. The player's football club deals, endorsements, and business investments have earned him a $500 million net worth, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. Known for his style and charisma, the soccer star splashes millions on buying luxuries few can afford. A collector of the best, he has a stunning watch collection , a long fleet of sleek cars, and more recently, he purchased a mega yacht for his family.

The superyacht costs a whopping $7 million and boasts luxurious amenities that the family enjoys. Fans regularly catch a glimpse of the yacht through his social media accounts, where he shares snippets from his luxurious life. Let's take a look inside Cristiano Ronaldo's $7 million superyachts.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a growing family with his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez, and he likes to be a hands-on father while providing them with luxuries he couldn't afford growing up in Portugal. Superyachts have been considered a status symbol today, and many top athletes own a motorboat that shows off their expensive tastes. Before Cristiano Ronaldo purchased his $7 million yachts in 2020, he would rent a yacht charter called Africa I that featured six cabins for twelve guests. According to Insider , the rent of the yacht was $239,500 per week, so the soccer star decided to purchase a yacht for himself.

In 2020, Ronaldo spotted the yacht in Viareggio, Italy, at the Azimut-Benetti Shipyards before buying it for himself. Called the Azimut-Grande 27, the yacht offers dynamic stability with its carbon-fiber structure that reduces weight and increases the surface area. Azimut-Grande 27 was designed by Achille Salvagni Architects, while the prolific superyacht designer Stefano Righini completed the exterior styling. The yacht's overall length is 26.78 meters, width is 6.59 meters with a maximum speed of 28 knots, as reported by Azimut Yachts .

The yacht's interior is equipped with space and comfort that the family can enjoy. It features five expansive bedrooms and six equally stunning bathrooms. Additionally, it has two lounge rooms with a dining table in the adjoining open area for a romantic dinner. The kitchen is stocked with modern appliances for the crew to make meals, as stated by Daily Star . The deck has an open bar with two lounge areas to bask in the sunlight next to it. The Owner's Cabin is located on the yacht's Main Deck and has full-height windows on all sides to offer a scenic view of the ocean.

The Azimut-Grande 27 was built considering the highest nautical standards and has received the CE Category A and NMMA certifications that ensure that the boat follows two important safety codes. At the Wheelhouse, the yacht is equipped with an Optimus Electronic Power Steering system created by Seastar Solutions and helps the owner configure responses to eliminate hydraulic lines from the helm station. With its Active Trim Control, the superyacht offers an increase in speed and lower fuel consumption.

As mentioned by The Sun , after purchasing the Azimut-Grande 27, Cristiano Ronaldo first set sail on the superyacht in 2020 and took it on a debut voyage to the Tyrrhenian coast, which is a part of the Mediterranean Sea with his girlfriend and children. The soccer star showed off the new purchase on Instagram to his more than 400 million followers. He has continued to set sail on the yacht during summers and taking time off from playing on the soccer field.

Ronaldo has been spotted on the yacht multiple times, including when his team was eliminated from the Round of 16 at Euro 2020, and he decided to take a break with his family. As a part of the Italian football club Juventus, he spends most of his time in Italy and sets sail along the beautiful coasts. He has also traveled to a small commune in Italy called Celle Ligure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the soccer star spent uninterrupted time on the yacht away from the public with his family, enjoying the sea and staying aboard the luxury vessel.

Cristiano Ronaldo loves to live his life in luxury and has always maintained his status symbol as having one of the most lavish lifestyles of any athlete. The soccer player also continues to work hard to earn his big paychecks as he practices for his games while continuing his deal with the soccer club Juventus, which will end in 2022.

Cristiano Ronaldo is chilling on his $7 million yacht and relaxing in a sauna as he unwinds from his Euro 2020 exit

• Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is spending his summer vacationing with his family on a private yacht.
• The Juventus forward exited Euro 2020 when his team was beaten 1-0 by Belgium in the round of 16.

Cristiano Ronaldo is unwinding from his Euro 2020 disappointment with a family vacation on a private yacht.

The Portugal star crashed out of the tournament when his team were defeated by Belgium 1-0 in the round of 16 thanks to a goal from Thorgan Hazard.

He took to Twitter and Instagram on Sunday to post a picture of him and his family aboard a luxury yacht. The sun-soaked image was captioned with the message "It's time to rest with my loves."

-Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) July 4, 2021

It isn't completely clear from the picture, but it is likely that Ronaldo is staying on the $7 million yacht he bought in the summer of 2020 to celebrate winning the Italian league title.

The 27-meter long yacht - which features five cabins, six bathrooms, two lounge areas, a large contemporary kitchen-diner, and full length windows - was built in the Azimut-Benetti shipyards in Viareggio, Italy, according to a Sportsmail report at the time.

On Sunday evening Ronaldo also posted a picture of himself sitting in a sauna, although it isn't clear if the sauna is on the yacht.

Ronaldo's early exit from the European Championships means he has plenty of time to relax before the Serie A season begins on August 22.

The muted modern interiors have a laid-back atmosphere where comfort and convenience take priority: The main salon is flooded with natural light thanks to all the windows down both sides of the room. Family and friends can socialise together in the same space with freshly prepared meals served at the forward formal dining area, while the plush sofas and armchairs behind are centred around a coffee table for conversation in air conditioned surroundings.

After sundown, the intimate skylounge is ready as a party venue or a serene place to unwind after a hectic day while the professional crew produce sweet and savoury cocktails as the group discusses their next big adventure on the sumptuous sofas. The projector can be used for films and showing off any holiday footage captured by camera or drone, and there are games consoles for keeping the kids engaged while the adults are entertaining.

AFRICA I – Skylounge as a cinema

Balanced outdoor spaces will give any charter group a wealth of dining options from the main deck aft up to the sundeck, and those with an active outdoor lifestyle will appreciate the fresh air. The upper deck aft offers the most elegant location for an alfresco meal, sheltered from gusts while providing open views of the stunning Mediterranean sunsets. The foredeck has a novel design, allowing for sunbathing on the foredeck while the recessed bow has an outdoor lounge attached to the Master suite, protecting users’ privacy with high bulwarks reminiscent of the tall urban garden walls to be found in Italy.

The Jacuzzi on the sundeck is the perfect place to soak in the sunshine and enjoy complete privacy all day long, with sun loungers, shaded sofas and an alfresco dining table at the group’s disposal.

Perhaps best of all, guests have at their fingertips and array of water toys for use amongst the magnificent beaches of the Cote d’Azur . The collection includes:

• 3 x Seadoo Waverunners
• 2 x Seabobs
• 1 x paddleboard
• 1 x wakeboard
• fishing gear
• snorkelling equipment
• a water slide, and
• inflatable and towable toys

Those who can’t wait to get into the water can use the on board gym to keep up a fitness regime and burn off excess energy…and the calories from the indulgent treats to be found within the region.

AFRICA I – Master stateroom main deck

The guest accommodation sleeps up to 12 guests across 6 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 3 double cabins and 2 twin cabins. The lavish Master suite enjoys plenty of sunshine because of the large windows and forward glass sliding doors to the alfresco lounge, and mirrors on the walls and ceiling enhance the spotlights after dark.

AFRICA I – guest cabin

There is a crew of 9 will keep guest drinks topped up and everything running smoothly throughout any social occasion.

Cristiano Ronaldo Buys £5.5 Million Yacht To Celebrate Juventus' Serie A Title Win

The 35-year-old has splashed out..

Daniel Marland

Cristiano Ronaldo has celebrated winning yet another league title by spending £5.5 million on a new luxury yacht.

Juventus were confirmed Serie A champions after a 2-0 victory over Sampdoria on Sunday and it's the seventh league title of Ronaldo's career .

The 35-year-old has decided to commemorate the victory by splashing out on the vessel which boasts five cabins, six bathrooms, a large lounge as well as a kitchen.

His girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez shared images on Instagram to give fans a peek inside.

Ronaldo and Rodriguez set sail for the first time this week after the yacht caught the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's eye at the Azimut-Benetti shipyards in Viareggio.

The Portuguese international picked out the yacht himself and also took his four children along.

On the pitch, it's been another scintillating season and Ronaldo has scored 31 goals in 33 league games this season .

He is four goals behind Lazio's Ciro Immobile in the Capocannoniere race with one game remaining.

Juventus fell to a 2-0 defeat against Cagliari last night and they face Roma on Saturday in what will be their fifth game in 12 days.

Manager Maurizio Sarri has vented his frustrations post-match and has threatened to play an under-23's team this weekend.

"Conceding 40 goals this season might be a concern, but tonight's game was not," he explained per Goal .

"We had we injured players and we came off a championship win 68 hours ago, so it was an atypical game that should be taken for what it is.

"We must become more solid. But we are the only ones in Europe who have played five games in 12 days, the league has created huge problems for us.

"Let's see how we are tomorrow and if it is appropriate to deploy the Under-23s on Saturday against Roma to make the best recovery."

When asked about starting Ronaldo with the league already wrapped up and Champions League looming, Sarri replied: "At times Cristiano and [Gonzalo] Higuain clicked because we did create chances, but we lacked a bit of class and ruthlessness tonight.

"Cristiano was very motivated, he wanted to play because he felt good and ready to play."

It isn't completely clear from the picture, but it is likely that Ronaldo is staying on the $7 million yacht he bought in the summer of 2020 to celebrate winning the Italian league title.

The 27-meter long yacht — which features five cabins, six bathrooms, two lounge areas, a large contemporary kitchen-diner, and full length windows — was built in the Azimut-Benetti shipyards in Viareggio, Italy, according to a Sportsmail report at the time.

On Sunday evening Ronaldo also posted a picture of himself sitting in a sauna, although it isn't clear if the sauna is on the yacht.

Ronaldo on the move?

Ronaldo made the switch from Real Madrid, where he played for nine years, to Juventus in 2018, but it is now thought that he could once again be on the move.

Juventus endured a difficult campaign last season and only managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League on the final day, missing out on the title by 13 points.

Manager Andrea Pirlo lost his job as a result and Massimiliano Allegri has returned to the club he previously coached for five years.

Ronaldo has a year left on his contract with Juve, but rumors have swirled in 2021 that he could leave Italy this summer.

Even at 36, there would be no end to the number of clubs interested in acquiring his services but with the kind of salary he demands, there are only a few who could afford him.

Spanish newspaper Marca has reported he would be open for a move back to Madrid should they come calling but Madrid is currently looking to cut costs.

In May, his mother told fans of Ronaldo's boyhood club Sporting Lisbon that she is trying to persuade him to return to the club.

Inside this lavish party vessel is a spacious deck that can host 10 guests in its four large rooms. These include a master suite for the football star and pullman beds. Besides the guests, five crew members can also travel on-board. The soft beige hues of the yacht blend well with the timeless furniture and sumptuous decor.

The yacht is built with a strong aluminium hull and GRP superstructure that supports high cruising speeds of 30 knots. She offers a range of 900 nm from her 27,630 fuel tank. Ideal for a trip around Ibiza!

What makes Ascari ideal for a weekend party is the host of facilities it offers. It has a special DJ deck with lasers and state-of-the-art sound system.

Besides this, the yacht also has Wi-Fi connection on board, a cocktail bar, lounge space and a sun bathing area.

The yacht also comes with a host of exclusive water toys such as paddleboards, wake boards, a water ski, kayak, jet-ski and scuba diving equipments.

Cristiano Ronaldo Hits the French Riviera on a $221,500 per Week Superyacht

The FIFA Women’s World Cup may be in full swing, but Cristiano Ronaldo has figured out how to enjoy himself on a rare summer away from the pitch—aboard a superyacht on the French Riviera .

Fresh off the Portuguese national team’s win in the inaugural UEFA Nations League mini-tournament earlier this month, the Juventus star, his four children and girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, are taking some time away from their busy lives to fit in some rest and relaxation on board their very own Benetti yacht, Africa 1 . And the family of six seems to be enjoying the boat and all of its luxe amenities if the many Instagram posts shared by Ronaldo and Rodríguez are any indication.

Renting for $221,500 per week during low season, and $245,000 during high season, according to its listing on Yacht Charter Fleet , the 154-foot boat looks like the perfect way for the athlete to escape the madness that accompanies being one of the two best soccer players alive. The boat’s loaded modern interior reportedly has room for 12 adults in six rooms, including a full-beam master suite. It also features a sundeck jacuzzi, al fresco dining and seating areas, a bar and a gym, perfect for a workaholic who wants to train even when his next game isn’t until August. And then there’s what Ronaldo and his eldest son, Cristiano Jr., seem most enthusiastic about: a wide array of water toys, including multiple Seadoo Waverunners, waterski and wakeboard equipment and a giant, three-story-tall inflatable slide . In addition to those five-star features, the boat carries a crew of nine, ensuring that all guests receive the luxury treatment they crave.

While the price of renting Africa 1 may seem steep, it’s nothing for Ronaldo, who earned $109 million ($65 million in salary and bonuses, $44 million from endorsements) last season, according to Forbes . Still, that figure puts the superstar well behind his greatest rival, Lionel Messi, who made $127 million last year. Will the Barcelona striker will take his rivalry with Ronaldo to the high seas? That could be determined in short order, if his team, Argentina, gets bounced from the Copa América next week.

Cristiano Ronaldo ‘s for luxury yachts is not just a passing infatuation, but instead a true passion. At the end of the football season, but also in the short breaks between one match and another, Cristiano never fails to enjoy a holiday with his family on one of many magnificent charter yachts available for that occasion.

Who is Cristiano Ronaldo?

Wait, are you serious? If there really still exists someone who doesn’t know him, let’s make a brief introduction: Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most important and influential footballers in the world. Portuguese, grown up on Madeira island, this champion has won countless titles and trophies during his career, among which 5 Golden Balls and 5 Champions Leagues stand out.

In the last 10 years, his fame has been achieved and sometimes surpassed only by another footballer, his great rival, Lionel Messi.

His latest purchase: 

Let’s start from the end. The last appearance in chronological order of Cristiano Ronaldo onboard a yacht took place in July 2020 when, together with Georgina Rodriguez, his current partner, and his children, he took a short vacation in the Tyrrhenian Sea between an Italian championship match and another.

The difference, however, from his previous experiences lies in the fact that he didn’t rent a yacht because this time the boat was entirely owned by him.

The champion choice could only fall on one of the best models in terms of yachts: a 27-meter Azimut Grande , purchased, according to rumors, in Viareggio’s shipyards for a figure of around 6 million euros.

What about this yacht? Only the best! Built-in the Azimut-Benetti shipyards in Versilia, it has 5 cabins with 6 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 8 people. It was made of carbon fiber for a total weight of about 93 tons and is powered by two 1900 horsepower engines that can reach a maximum speed of 28 knots powered by a 9500-liter tank that guarantees a very good range.

The comfort onboard, as well as the luxury finishes and a considerable number of gadgets and water games, is guaranteed by a crew of 3.

The Portuguese champion must have been so impressed by the beauty of this yacht model probably while spending onboard it one of his vacation periods.

In fact, it was not the first time he had boarded a Benetti-Azimut Grande. Just a few weeks earlier, for example, he had posted some photos on Instagram portraying him, always with his family, aboard a 35-meter from the same brand, this time chartered in the Italian Versilia coastline.

A long list of charter yacht vacation

Before then, there were certainly many occasions in which Cristiano Ronaldo allowed himself the luxury of a charter yacht.

During summer 2019, for example, the Juventus forward spent his family vacation off the coast of Monte Carlo aboard the wonderful yacht Africa I.

A 47-meter long yacht, the Africa I was built by Benetti in 2010 and underwent a complete restyling in 2018.

Made of aluminum, it is equipped with every comfort: air conditioning, gym, Jacuzzi, Wi-Fi connection.

Onboard, it can accommodate up to 12 guests divided into six bedrooms: a master suite, four bedrooms with double beds, and a bedroom with single beds.

A 9 crew member ensures maximum comfort for all guests.

The luxurious interiors are signed by the designer Zuretti, a guarantee as splendid furnishings and elegant seating like the sofas and sun loungers

Finally, there is no shortage of leisure and entertainment facilities as a spectacular slide that reaches the pool.

Africa I has a maximum speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 12 for an extraordinary sailing experience.

The eternal challenge with Messi:

The rivalry with his colleague and champion Lionel Messi has always been heated both on and off the pitch, with the duo always put in competition on personal trophies and titles won, number of social media followers, and even in terms of salary.

The choice of the yacht on which they spend their holidays is certainly no exception.

An example? In 2016 they found themselves a short distance away in the sea between Ibiza and Formentera on board their respective charter yachts:

This time Cristiano Ronaldo had chosen a real jewel, the Ascari yacht, with over 36 meters in length and over 7 meters wide.

Built-in 2003 by Palmer Johnson Yacht and refitted in 2015, it can reach a maximum speed of thirty knots and a cruising speed of 22. Space onboard is not lacking and in fact, the Ascari can accommodate up to 10 guests in 4 cabins and 5 crew members.

At the same time, Lionel Messi was aboard the Seven C, a 28 meters long and just under five meters wide yacht, built-in 2003 and refitted in 2011.

The Seven C can reach a maximum speed of 22 knots and can accommodate up to ten people, as well as three crew members.

In 2018, the two found themselves even “sharing” the same charter yacht, a few weeks apart from each other, while spending their summer holidays in the Balearic archipelago. 

It was the turn of the Tecnomar’s ultra-luxury yacht called Blue Jay to steal the show, a 36-meter super-equipped yacht with everything needed for the enjoyment of its 12 guests, which is available for charter right now in the Balearic Sea .

Inside football’s most outrageous superyachts – Ronaldo’s £5.5m 6-bathroom boat to £1m-a-WEEK beast rented by A-listers

SUPERYACHTS are the ultimate status symbol for the mega-rich with many splashing over £100million on their luxury vessels.

This week Manchester City owner Sheikh Monsour unveiled his 525ft floating behemoth , the fourth largest in the world, which would barely fit in the team’s Etihad Stadium.

The £500m yacht has 40 cabins for 48 guests and four entertaining decks including a large alfresco area connected with a swimming platform and club, as well as two helipads.

But the billionaire has some stiff competition from those who work in the beautiful game, with fellow club owners and players owning their slice of seafaring luxury. 

From Ronaldo’s £5.5million boat to David Beckham's aptly named Seven vessel, these are the most lavish cruisers on the waves.

Cristiano Ronaldo splashed out on the £5.5million, 88-feet long Azimut Grande in 2020 and christened his new toy with a family holiday around the Italian coast.

With five bedrooms and six bathrooms, there’s plenty of space for fiancee Georgina Rodriquez and their five kids to enjoy.

There's also a modern kitchen onboard, as well as two relaxation areas, a huge lounge and a lavish dining room.

In terms of its specifications, it's capable of reaching 28 knots, thanks to two 1,900 horsepower engines, and is made of carbon fibre weighing a whopping 93 tonnes.

£5m super seven.

SEVEN - named after the football legend’s number and daughter Harper’s middle name - is a 100ft motor yacht with a top speed of 30 knots .

Five bedrooms accommodate 10 guests (plus four crew members) and one insider told The Sun: “It’s pretty plush by anyone’s standards.

"He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything.” 

David and Victoria bought the Italian-built boat in 2021, for £5m, and took their first voyage round the Florida Keys in January. 

533ft Eclipse with 50ft pool

At 533ft, the Russian oligarch’s superyacht is the second biggest in the world, and is estimated to be worth £600million.

It boasts a 50ft swimming pool that can be converted into a dance floor and the owner’s deck is a whopping 184ft.

Eclipse can accommodate 36 guests across 18 suites, as well as 70 crew members, and the master suite is protected by bulletproof glass and armour plating.

It boasts two helipads and even has a mini-submarine so the former Chelsea boss can take a deep dive to 150ft below sea level.

Earlier this year Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government over his links to despot Vladimir Putin .

It was reported that he moved his yachts to a "safe harbour" in Tivat, Macedonia to avoid being seized. 

£700m 'floating palace' with snow room

Saudi royal Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman , who took over Newcastle United last year, is used to making waves with his extravagant purchases - but since 2015, he's literally been making them too.

He bought Serene , which is one of the world's largest boats, from Russian vodka tycoon Yuri Shefler for more than £400million.

The vast vessel, which is 439ft in length and 60ft wide, boasts seven decks that can hold 24 guests, two helipads, a hangar and both a sauna and even a 'snow room'.

Reports also claim there's a 100m submarine aboard and that Leonardo da Vinci's painting the Salvator Mundi hangs inside, too.

In 2017, the artwork became the most expensive ever sold when it was purchased for £340million by a mystery buyer - allegedly acting on behalf of MBS.

If it's true that could make his floating palace worth more than £700million.

£113m 'mobile office' with tennis court

Spurs' billionaire owner Joe Lewis certainly didn't skimp on his 'boy toys' when he purchased this lavish superyacht .

The Aviva, which sold for £113m, is referred to as his 'mobile office' and had the first full-size indoor tennis court installed on a yacht.

Not only that, when Joe's not playing there it can be turned into a gym and football pitch that's also used by the vessel's staff.

Aviva, which is 321-feet long, can house 16 guests and has a swimming pool, lounge area, a speedboat and multiple jetskis onboard.

£166m 'ultimate entertainment vessel'

Fulham FC owner Shahid Khan is worth more than £6billion and as one of the world's richest men, naturally he needed a superyacht to match.

His 312ft vessel, Kismet, can host 18 guests in staterooms that have been compared to a 'five-star hotel'.

It was branded "the ultimate entertainment vessel" and it seems for good reason as it boasts two spacious sun decks perfect for parties.

That's not all; one of those entertainment areas can be turned into either a nightclub or an outdoor cinema and the other a basketball court.

Notably, the superyacht was chartered by Jay-Z and Beyonce for £835,000 a week back in 2018.

John Henry's £68m yacht

Lavish superyacht Elysian cost £68million and isn't short on luxury features.

The vessel, which was bought by Liverpool FC and Boston Red Sox owner John Henry, boasts an infinity pool, fireplace, gym and spa.

Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s amazing £15m holiday yacht with jacuzzi and jet skis which you can rent for £180,000 a week

• Published : 17:29, 25 Jun 2019
• Updated : 17:29, 25 Jun 2019

CRISTIANO RONALDO knows how to do holidays.

The Juventus legend has been lapping up the sun in the French Riviera with his gorgeous missus Georgina Rodriguez as he recuperates from a debut season in Serie A.

And the pair have been enjoying the luxuries on board a stunning yacht called the Africa I that's worth an incredible £15m, and could be yours to rent for a staggering £180,000-per-week.

The motor yacht was launched by Italian shipyard Benetti in 2010, recently undergoing a refurb last year, and is a paradise on sea.

SIZE MATTERS

It's 154.20 feet long, has a beam of 8.8 metres and can accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins, including a master suite, four double cabins and a twin cabin that all sit within its three air-conditioned decks.

The Africa I also has the space to house nine crew members too. But it's her amenities that really mean she stands out from the crowd.

Ronaldo, 34, and Georgina, 25, (and whoever else could cough up that sort of dough to rent this beast) can relax in a spacious jacuzzi on the sun deck.

There's a fully-equipped gym on board, should the two wish to maintain their sculpted physiques, as well as Wi-Fi if you don't want to switch off from your electronics.

And those into watersports won't be disappointed either.

The Africa I boasts a number of recreation facilities that'll never have you bored or lost at sea.

There are two Seadoo RXP-X RS 300 Waverunners jet skis, one Seadoo 260 HP Waverunner jet ski,  two F5S Seabobs that are used for diving, as well as a fun waterslide.

Guests also have the option of using a paddle board, wake board, and snorkeling equipment to enhance their yachting experience further.

And that's not the end of the entertainment...

Ron and Georgina also have a outdoor cinema on board that uses a Sony Ultra HD 4K Laser projector - which is perfect for watching a movie underneath the stars after a day of topping up your tan.

For the romantic at heart, and should Ronaldo wish to wine and dine Rodriguez, he can take advantage of an al-fresco dining table on the upper skylounge too.

Those concerned with performance, the Africa I was built with aluminium hull and aluminium superstructure.

It features anchor stabilisers that limit the awful feeling of sea sickness in the roughest of seas when docked.

And with a cruising speed of 12 knots, a maximum speed of 23 knots and a range of 3,915nm from her 65,000 litre fuel tanks, she'll get you anywhere you need at some pace.

DREAM HOLIDAY

Over the weekend a bikini-clad Rodriguez was snapped enjoying a snack on board the Africa I, while Ronaldo was seen diving into the sea and larking about with son Cristiano Jr on the yacht's waterslide.

The trio have been enjoying time off from the football season, cruising around the Mediterranean Sea.

They spent time in Greece before heading to the French Riviera, where they have been anchored for a few days.

And they even had a visitor - in the shape of new Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri who came onboard the boat.

Hopefully, the Africa I didn't provide too much of a distraction for the former Chelsea boss as he tried to get his message across!

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' son accused of sex assault in lawsuit that also names music mogul as defendant

LOS ANGELES — Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is a subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation , has been named as a defendant in a new lawsuit that alleges his son sexually assaulted a woman while she was working on a yacht the music mogul had chartered for a trip at the end of 2022. 

The allegation is the latest in a wave of lawsuits accusing Combs , 54, of sexual assault, sexual trafficking and engaging in other criminal activity. He has denied all the allegations, calling them sickening.

In the suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Grace O’Marcaigh alleges that Christian Combs, 26, sexually assaulted her in late December 2022 while she was working on a boat charter that had been “sold as a wholesome family excursion” but turned into a “hedonistic environment.” 

The alleged assault happened just days before Sean Combs hosted a New Year’s Eve yacht party with a long list of celebrity guests . 

Christian Combs is accused of sexual assault, sexual harassment and infliction of emotional distress in the lawsuit. Sean Combs is being sued for premises liability as the person who chartered the yacht and for aiding and abetting his son in the alleged assault. 

A lawyer for the father and son called Thursday's suit "lewd and meritless" and said it was "filled with the same kind of manufactured lies and irrelevant facts we’ve come to expect" from O’Marcaigh's lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn.

The lawyer, Aaron Dyer, said his legal team plans on filing a motion to dismiss the suit.

 “Like father, like son," Blackburn said Thursday night after the suit was filed. "It gives us no joy or pleasure in filing this suit against Christian Combs who has clearly adopted his father’s pattern and practice of depravity."

In the yacht studio

In her suit, O’Marcaigh alleges that Christian Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her. She included transcriptions of audio clips that she states are evidence of her denying his advances as he gropes her. The suit states that the clips were recorded by a producer in the studio. 

O’Marcaigh, who was 25 at the time of the alleged assault, worked as a steward providing dinner and drink service on the yacht from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and witnessed partying and drug use between a “constant rotation of suspected sex workers” and celebrities, the suit states. She also alleges in the complaint that she suspected bottles of alcohol were laced with drugs because women began to fall over themselves, panic or pass out after just one drink. 

Around Dec. 28, 2022, O’Marcaigh was informed that Christian Combs would be joining the party to record with music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in the yacht’s makeshift studio, the suit states. 

Christian Combs had been staying on shore at a villa, but often joined his father in the evenings, according to the suit. The woman’s suit alleges that he arrived “heavily intoxicated” and that he paid an inappropriate amount of attention to her. 

Christian then pressured O’Marcaigh to take shots of tequila that she believes he brought onboard, according to the suit.

After she took the shot, O’Marcaigh states in the lawsuit, Christian Combs became aggressive and insisted she drink more. 

O’Marcaigh became fearful and began to feel the effect of the tequila, which she “quickly suspected” had been spiked, the suit states. 

The situation “escalated” as Christian Combs groped O’Marcaigh’s legs, breast, anus and vagina, the suit states. The suit details audio recordings in which it states O’Marcaigh can be heard declining alcohol, saying she had to leave, and telling Christian Combs to stop touching her with what sounds like kissing noises in the background.

The audio was recorded by Jones, the producer who was in the studio during the alleged assault and who has alleged in his own lawsuit that he was required to record Sean Combs “constantly” and had hours of footage in which the music mogul and his staff allegedly engaged in criminal conduct. 

NBC News has heard two clips of audio transcribed in the suit purportedly from the night of Dec. 28, 2022, but has not verified who was recorded. 

“Excuse me, you don’t touch my legs like that. I’ll move my legs where I want to,” O’Marcaigh is heard saying in the recording detailed in the suit. “If I want to do this, then I will. You don’t touch my legs like that.” 

“Listen, you and everybody in the crew,” Christian Combs allegedly replies. 

“I can’t, I have to go down,” O’Marcaigh says. “I have to go down.”

Christian Combs then insists that O’Marcaigh stay with him, but she responds that she cannot unless he makes that request to a crew leader, the suit states, citing the audio recording. 

O’Marcaigh answered this way because she knew “anyone of authority” who could approve the request would be asleep and Christian Combs would not be able to contact them, the suit states. 

“Who can I talk to? I’m going to say I requested you right now,” Christian Combs said, according to the suit.  

“Well, you can take your hand off my ass for the first thing,” O’Marcaigh responded. 

O’Marcaigh then attempted to resume her duties and finish her shift once she was able to leave the studio, the suit states. Christian Combs allegedly found her a short time later and insisted she find him a place to sleep.

She directed him to the yacht cinema, which was used as an extra sleeping area, where he blocked her in, the suit states. 

Christian Combs allegedly began to grope her and took off his clothes. 

“His penis was erect, and he grabbed her arms and was trying to force PLAINTIFF to perform oral sex on him,” the suit states. 

The suit includes photos of bruising on O’Marcaigh’s forearm and alleges it was caused when Christian Combs grabbed her. 

O’Marcaigh fought him off until someone else walked in, according to the suit. 

Since the alleged attack

The alleged assault had a deep impact on O’Marcaigh’s mental health as well as her professional and personal lives, the suit said. When O’Marcaigh complained to the yacht captain the next day, the suit alleges, the captain did not believe her and failed to investigate.

She alleges that the captain retaliated against her until she was terminated in May 2023. 

Her mental health deteriorated, and the woman had anxiety and panic attacks as well as severe suicidal ideations, the suit said. O’Marcaigh alleges that the emotional strain affected her physical health and that she developed an eating disorder and seizures following the assault. 

She is seeking unspecified damages. 

"I am here to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves and I applaud Grace for being so brave to come forward with her truth," attorney Rodney S. Diggs said of his client. "Hopefully her story will inspire others to come forward."

Allegations and investigation 

O’Marcaigh’s suit is the first to accuse Christian Combs of sexual assault. Since November, his father, Sean Combs, has been accused in lawsuits of sexual assault by four women, which he has repeatedly denied. 

One of those suits has been settled , and the others have not been resolved.  

Jones, a producer who worked for Sean Combs from September 2022 to November 2023, alleged the rapper sexually harassed him, pressured him to engage in sexual acts and forced him to procure sex workers. He said he witnessed Sean Combs giving drinks laced with drugs to people at parties. 

An attorney for Combs said Jones’ “reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”

On March 25, agents with Homeland Security Investigations searched Sean Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami. A source familiar with the investigation told NBC News that a federal investigation began before this year and that authorities were aware of the layout of Combs’ properties before the raids. 

During the searches last month, federal agents discovered guns and seized his phones as part of a warrant issued from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, law enforcement sources have said. Christian Combs was detained at his father’s Los Angeles home last month when Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant, but he was not arrested. 

Investigators are also looking into allegations of statutory rape against Sean Combs, the source said. 

NBC News previously reported that at least three women and one man have been interviewed by federal investigators in relation to allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms. 

Aaron Dyer, one of Combs’ attorneys, issued a statement following last month’s property searches and said that Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.” He described the search as an ambush, saying there’s been a rush to judgment based on “meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,” Dyer said. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A lawsuit that names Sean “Diddy” Combs as a co-defendant alleges that his son Christian “King” Combs sexually assaulted a woman working on a yacht chartered by his father.

The suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court says Sean Combs created the circumstances that led to the assault and paid to cover it up afterward. It’s the latest in a series of lawsuits accusing the producer and music mogul of sexual misconduct, and it comes amid a federal sex trafficking investigation that led Homeland Security agents to raid his homes in Los Angeles and Miami last week.

Grace O’Marcaigh, who worked as a crew member and a bartender on the boat, says that in late December 2022, Christian Combs pressured her to drink tequila that she believes was spiked with other drugs. He groped her breasts and genitals and attempted to force her to perform oral sex, the suit alleges.

The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as O’Marcaigh has done. She also consented to being named through her attorneys.

Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Sean and Christian Combs, called the lawsuit “lewd and meritless.”

“We will be filing a motion to dismiss this outrageous claim,” Dyer said in a statement.

Dyer called the investigation that brought last week’s raids “nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

Sean Combs, who chartered the yacht throughout the holidays in 2022, “had full control of the staff and premises” and created circumstances where her assault was not only tolerated but encouraged.

O’Marcaigh, who was 25 at the time, said when Christian Combs, then 24, came aboard late one night, he appeared heavily intoxicated and began giving her inappropriate attention.

She said the two were in a music studio on board the ship, where producer Rodney Jones, who filed his own lawsuit in February, was told to be available around the clock for Sean Combs to work on his next album.

O’Marcaigh said in the suit that Christian Combs was insistent that she take shots of tequila, and she drank out of obligation.

The suit alleges he became increasingly aggressive with her, violently grabbing her arm as she tried to get out of the situation then groping her. The drinks made everything blurry, unusually quickly, the suit says.

Microphones in the studio, where Jones was told to capture everything, recorded their exchange, and the lawsuit includes a transcript where O’Marcaigh demands that Christian Combs stop touching her.

The suit alleges that he later continued the assault in the ship’s movie theater, which was used as a spare sleeping area and where she was attempting to find a place to spend the night because the rooms were all taken, before another crew member appeared and he stopped.

O’Marcaigh told the yacht’s captain about the assault the following morning, but she alleges that after Combs gave him a large amount of cash the same day, the captain failed to meaningfully investigate or take any action.

The suit says O’Marcaigh was eventually fired in retaliation and has since been unable to find work in the music industry where she had planned to build a career. It says since 2022, she has suffered severe emotional trauma.

The lawsuit seeks damages to be determined at trial.

Christian Combs is also a musical artist whose song “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” with Kodak Black topped Billboard’s Mainstream R&B Hip-Hop charts in 2022. He was at his father’s Los Angeles home during last week’s searches, during which he and his brother were handcuffed but not arrested.

The producer Jones’ federal lawsuit, filed in February by Tyrone Blackburn, the same attorney as O’Marcaigh’s suit, includes allegations that Sean Combs coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.

Dyer’s statement said the newest lawsuit is “filled with the same kind of manufactured lies and irrelevant facts we’ve come to expect from Blackburn.”

He pointed out that U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote criticized Blackburn in a separate lawsuit on Wednesday and referred him to a disciplinary committee for a “pattern of behavior” where he “improperly files cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly.”

Blackburn responded in an email that “a referral is not a sanction” and the statement from Combs’ lawyer was an attempt to “deflect and distract.”

“Christian Combs sexually assaulted Ms. O’Marcaigh, and we have it on tape,” Blackburn said.

Several lawsuits have brought public scrutiny to the music and business mogul, beginning with a November suit from his former protege and girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie , which alleged years of sexual abuse, including rape. It was settled the following day .

Combs and his attorneys have denied all of the lawsuits’ allegations.

Combs, a three-time Grammy winner and the founder of Bad Boy Records, is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades. He turned his hip-hop empire into a broader business empire that includes private-label spirits , fashion, and a TV network .
