As the Peltz family superyacht dwarfs the Beckahms vessel, a look at the best celebrity yachts (equipped with helipads and hot tubs) that give them a run for their money

Superyacht summer is in full swing, with celebrities soaking up the sun on their luxurious vessels across the world. Brooklyn Beckham has been flexing the Peltz's wealth during a St Tropez getaway with his in-laws - dwarfing his family's current getaway in the same location. The amateur chef, 26, who is embroiled in a rift with his family, spent the week on a £85million superyacht called Project X, which is chartered for £1.2million per week. The 260ft luxury vessel was rented by Nicola's billionaire parents, who holidayed with the couple and the rest of the Peltz clan. Just two days after the family jetted back to the U.S. after their European getaway, Brooklyn's parents arrived in the same dock on their £16million yacht. And they aren't the only ones who love a luxury break on a yacht, with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Conor McGregor and Ronaldo often pictured on them. From sleek sailing vessels to floating mega-mansions complete with helipads and onboard pools, a look at the most impressive celebrity yachts. Beckhams David, 50 and Victoria, 51, bought their 130ft boat Seven in 2022, after previously buying a smaller vessel by the same name the year before. Their boat features a spa bath on the upper deck, as well as 65ft garage, plenty of water toys and a jet ski to keep the family entertained. It has five cabins in comparison, sleeping ten people and seven crew members. Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name. They previously owned a £5million boat but upgraded it less than a year later. David and Victoria are currently away with their other three children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 14. They narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola in the celebrity hotspot. They arrived in the south of France for their annual summer break, where their eldest son had been spotted holidaying on his billionaire father-in-law's boat nearby. Seven is named after David's iconic football shirt number as well as their daughter Harper's middle name Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldo, 40, bought his lavish 88-feet long Azimut Grande for £5.5million in 2020. The legendary footballer, his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their children were recently spotted on the yacht in Mallorca as they enjoyed his summer break. Georgina has previously shared a variety of snaps of their family relaxing on the vessel, as well as sexy bikini snaps. Built in Azimut-Benett's shipyards in Versilia, Italy, it boasts five luxury cabins and six stunningly decorated bathrooms. 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. It can accommodate up to eight guests in five luxury cabins, and three crew members. Conor McGregor Conor McGregor regularly showcases his lavish lifestyle and the expensive toys he plays with. In 2019, he bought a Prestige 750 yacht, which has a price tag of around £3m. The 75-foot boat was inspired by Muhammad Ali and features a quote from him that reads: 'He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.' The boat is called 'The 188' which refers to the amount in social welfare Conor used to receive in Ireland before his fighting career took off. Two years later, he also purchased a £2.6m Lamborghini Tecnomar 63 motor yacht, one of only 63 in the world. The boat, dubbed the 'supercar of the sea' can reach a top speed of 69mph (60 knots) and boasts 4,000 horsepower. Inspired by the iconic Lamborghini car, the yacht features an angular and futuristic design. Jeff Bezos Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 61, bought Koru in 2018 for around $500million, and it is named after the Maori word for 'new beginnings.' The boat comes complete with three decks, a pool, a helipad, three Jacuzzis, and a sun terrace - perfect for the 18 guests it can accommodate. It is the world's tallest sailboat with masts measuring 230 feet. There is also a wooden figurehead that bears a striking resemblance to his wife Lauren Sanchez, though the former journalist insists it was modeled after the Norse Goddess Freyja. Koru was built by Oceanco, with exterior design by Dutch firm Dykstra Naval Architects, and naval architecture by Dykstra Naval Architects and Lateral Naval Architects, per Architectural Digest. Jeff - who is worth $226 billion - is reportedly charged an estimated $25 million a year to staff and operate Koru. Koru's dedicated support vessel Abeona, which cost $75 million, is similarly impressive. The accompanying boat has 246 feet of storage for the tycoon's helicopter, jet skis, and luxury cars. Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Jason and Rosie were seen soaking up the sun on board a superyacht this summer with their two children. The family were cruising in Italy, with the pair sharing a carousel of snaps from the luxurious trip to Instagram, including views of a teak-clad deck, al fresco dining and plenty of space for sunbathing. Jason, Rosie, and their two children have been enjoying the water toys onboard, including a jet ski and waterboard. Yachtspotters believe it is the 28-meter Sunseeker 95 Blue Infinity One, delivered in 2023. With the pair spending a lot of time onboard this yacht, fans were under the impression they own it, but it appears the couple rent it. Steven Spielberg Steven Spielberg, 78, and his wife Kate Capshaw are often seen enjoying their $250 million yacht Seven Seas. The 357-foot superyacht, which was built in the Netherlands by luxury firm Oceanco in 2022, can carry 14 guests in its seven cabins as well as 30 staff across another 15 cabins. The famous filmmaker - whose net worth is $5.3 billion - called the yacht Seven Seas after he sold his decade-old 282-foot yacht with the same name in 2021. He also chose the name in honor of his seven children, per SuperYacht Fan. Seven Seas, which was designed by Sinon Yacht Architecture & Design, boasts a large pool at the rear, a spa pool on the deck, and a crew of 30. There are some reports it also has a helicopter landing pad at the front. The megayacht is powered by twin MTU 20V 4000 M73L diesel engines that can produce 4,813 HP each and propel the vessel to 20 knots, according to Robb Report. Mark Zuckerberg In 2024, Mark Zuckerberg, 41 - who is worth $242 billion - bought himself a $300 million yacht as a 'birthday present' for himself. His 387-foot-long yacht is thought to have not only its own aircraft hangar but also a support boat, called the Wingman, costing an estimated $30 million. The main vessel, called Launchpad, was constructed at the Feadship shipyard in the Netherlands in 2022, and can accommodate 24 guests as well as 48 crew members. It features include a beach club area, beauty center, cinema and helicopter. The Meta CEO's luxury ship's sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times. It is reportedly the 45th largest yacht in the world, per Page Six. The interiors were reportedly designed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design. There are multiple levels for sunbathing and indoor spaces with glass paneling allowing for floods of natural light. Sir Elton John Sir Elton John's yacht, the Wabi Sabi, was built to the singer's very own specifications. The yacht is bright white in colour, and is often spotted by yachting enthusiasts and fans. Wabi Sabi can hold up to 18 guests inside its eight luxury cabins, and it is worth $29.1 (£23.48) million. Elton John has welcomed several celebrity pals on his yacht including Bill Gates It has been billed as 'the most extraordinary yacht ever built'. A 390ft (118.8m) vessel – rumoured to be owned by billionaire Bill Gates – boasts a basketball court, beach club–style infinity pool, 15 cabins, a landing area for helicopters and even a private hospital. The ship, named 'Breakthrough', also features multiple libraries, a cinema, several hot tubs and has been hailed as the first hydrogen–powered 'net zero' superyacht. The ultra–luxury boat is about to go up for sale for the first time, at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. But its extravagance demands a hefty price tag of $645million (£476million). The elusive vessel, which took five years to design and build, will be the largest yacht attending the show. It has the capacity to host 30 guests in 15 cabins, who will be looked after by up to 43 crew members. The owner's on–board accommodation, however, extends to a 'completely private' four–story townhouse tucked away inside the yacht. Yacht dealer Edmiston, which appears to be brokering the sale of the ship, said the owner's deck was 'designed for family use' and is essentially an apartment with two bedrooms, twin bathrooms and dressing rooms, a gym, a pantry, two offices each with a fireplace and a living room. It adds that the private living quarters 'includes both a spacious staircase lined with bookshelves and displays nooks and an owner's elevator'. 'At each deck level, there are inviting private lifestyle destinations to savour such as a coffee corner and games niche on the bridge deck, a library on the main deck, and a private dining room with a sea terrace and adjacent ensuite stateroom on the lower deck,' the dealer said. 'It creates, in essence, a secluded four–level townhouse–by–the sea within the much larger yacht.' In total there are five decks above the waterline and two below, with the owner's deck 121ft (37m) above water. There are also 14 balconies that are 'unnoticeable when closed but slide out at the touch of a button, carrying with them their side railings or walls'. Michael Jordan Basketball star Michael Jordan, who is worth an estimated $3.5 billion, owns a yacht called 'M'BRACE' which is valued at a staggering $115 million. The 244-foot long ship, purchased by Michael in 2022, is said to accommodate 12 guests with eight cabins and 24 crew, with an estimated annual running cost of $10 million. The boat, which was first owned by Britain's Sir Lloyd Marshall Dorfman, was built in 2018 by Abeking & Rasmussen. It has a distinctive Atlantic Bow and has its very own pool onboard. Michael, 62, also owns a smaller yacht called Joy which cost $80 million.

Love Island's Harry Cooksley's ex Emma reveals what he messaged her before he appeared on ITV2 show

LOVE Island bombshell Emma Munro has revealed just what her ex and former co-star Harry Cooksley messaged her before heading into the villa. The ITV2 star, 30, spoke candidly during a chat aired on Spill With Will's TikTok page - just days after she broke her silence about the pair plotting to win the show's £50K cash prize. 6 6 6 Love Island 2025 OG Harry, 30, was initially left stunned when his real-world ex Emma entered the Mallorca compound, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." Fans then previously insisted the late arrival should win the series after dishing out home truths to Harry before revealing the real reason for their split. Now Emma, who underwent an image revamp prior to her time in the dating programme, has let slip their last conversation before he entered the ITV2 series as a show OG. She denied knowing he was going on the matchmaking series and said: "No, he [Harry] sent me the weirdest text right before he went into holding. "And he basically said 'oh you won't be able to contact me for the summer, please get hold of my mum if you need anything.' "I thought oh he's going to rehab. "Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?" Emma, who was recently given the boot from the show, told how she first became aware of his telly gig when she saw his Instagram post. She added: "I wasn't shocked you know. Spot the blink and you'll miss it moment that proves Love Islanders Emma and Harry are still in love - did you see it? "I feel like this is a bit of him, he'd be the perfect candidate. "And he has been, he's carried the show on his back lets be honest." PLOT REVEAL During their time in the villa together, the pair's connection appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA. Fans were then quick to claim the brunette's "real mask had slipped." Love Island winners - where they are now EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more. Here we take you through all of the Love Island winners so far and what their relationship statuses are now: 2025 - The second series of All Stars saw Gabby Allen and Case O'Gorman scoop the crown. STATUS: Still together. 2024 - The summer Love Island saw Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan were crowned the winners. STATUS: Broken up. 2024 - The first ever All stars spin off show was won by Molly Smith and Tom Clare. STATUS: Still together. 2023 - Jess Harding and Sammy Root took home the 50k, and won the summer 2023 Love Island. STATUS: Broken up. 2023 - The first series of 2023 saw Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan crowned Love Island winners in South Africa. STATUS: Still together. 2022 - Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's time in the villa was anything but a smooth ride, but they managed to win the public's hearts - and the ITV2 reality show. STATUS: Broken up. 2021 - Liam Reardon and Millie Court were announced winners of Love Island 2021.

STATUS: Broken up. 2018 - It wasn't surprising fan favourites Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer won the show, as they were strong throughout. But sadly things didn't last. STATUS: Broken up. 2017 - Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies had lots of ups and downs in the villa but went on to win. STATUS: Broken up. 2016 - Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde were together from the start of the series, and since they won the show they've had two kids and are married. STATUS: Still together. 2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up. This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series. In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why. She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k." Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly. "None of it was serious." 6 6 6
