It is rented by his wife Nicola's parents Nelson and Claudia Peltz at a cost of £1.2million a week.
Two days later, Brooklyn's dad David, 50, and mum Victoria, 51, arrived in the same French dock in a £16million, 40-metre (130ft) yacht named Seven.
A source said: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex.
'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.'
Brooklyn's vessel, with a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms and two twin cabins, has a crew of 28.
It also boasts a 25ft by 9ft glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a 360-degree sundeck.
David's yacht is half the size, with five cabins that sleep ten people, and up to seven crew members on board.
The boat, which he bought in 2022, also features a spa bath on the upper deck as well as a 65ft garage, which is packed with water toys including a tender and a jet ski.
David and Victoria bought Seven — so-called because of their daughter Harper's middle name — in an upgrade from a smaller £5million vessel.
They are in Saint-Tropez with Harper, 14, and their other sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20.
David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into WW3 and pals say 'Brooklyn has totally cut them off'
Brooklyn, along with his wife Nicola, 30, no longer speak to his family following a much-publicised feud earlier this year, which The Sun understands was sparked by money.
We first revealed the rift in May.
But it worsened earlier this month after brothers Romeo and Cruz appeared to block Brooklyn and Nicola on social media.
Those close to Brooklyn said a reconciliation with his family was off the table, adding: 'There's too much water under the bridge.'
Brooklyn and Nicola have posted pictures from their break on social media — including one of her naked in one of the yacht's baths.
Aspiring cook, photographer and model Brooklyn also posted a snap of himself drinking a bottle of beer next to billionaire businessman Nelson.

Brooklyn and Nicola have also been seen out shopping in posh boutiques in and around Saint-Tropez.
He also met his godfather, singer Sir Elton John, last week in Cannes.
Sir Elton is said to have tried to be a peacemaker in Brooklyn's feud — but is not taking sides.
An insider said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row. He just wants everyone to be happy.
'He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather. It's a role he takes seriously.'

This 16-layer croissant was just awarded Australia's best at a major national baking competition
There's no better way to start your day than with a hot cup of coffee and a fresh-out-of-the-oven croissant. Golden, glossy and full of flaky, buttery layers, this pastry is a classic for good reason. While we have the French to thank for the invention, Aussies have very much adopted croissants as part of our weekly (or even daily) diet – and you'd be hard-pressed to find a bakery that doesn't serve them. That's why being able to claim you make Australia's best croissant is a major deal – and in 2025, that honour belongs to a hidden gem bakery in Kiama. In July, the Baking Association of Australia – best known for the coveted Best Pie and Pastie Competition – held its annual National Artisan Baking Awards, crowning the finest bread and pastries in the country. Taking out top honours in the croissant category was Parfait Patisserie, a small-town gem tucked away in Kiama on NSW's South Coast. Their winning creation? A meticulously crafted, 16-layer croissant that takes three full days to perfect. Troy Hindmarch, who opened the bakery with his wife Samantha back in 2018, explains, 'On the first day, we create a poolish. Day two involves making the dough and allowing it to rest for 12 hours before the lamination process begins. We carefully fold New Zealand butter into our dough, creating 16 layers of a truly flaky and buttery croissant.' Parfait Patisserie also claimed first place for the best white sourdough and third place for the best flavoured sourdough, with Parfait's head baker, Alex Miller, being crowned the Champion Viennoiserie. Hindmarch said, 'We are incredibly proud and excited to have won the award. It's a wonderful recognition of our team's hard work and dedication.' Parfait Patisserie's award-winning croissant recipe has been a staple since the bakery first opened seven years ago. But while the classic remains untouched, weekends are when things get creative with limited-time flavours like lemon meringue, caramel custard, pistachio crème and caramelised fig. The runners-up for Australia's best croissant at the 2025 National Viennoiserie Competition were Evoke Bakery in Canberra and Locantro Bakery in Sydney. If you're feeling hungry, here's our round-up of more of the best croissants in Australia.

Gwyneth Paltrow supports son Moses as he follows in Chris Martin's footsteps
The youngest child of a well-known musician and his acting ex-wife is following in the footsteps of his father by being in a band, who performed at a gig in the US this week The son of a well-known musician is now following in their footsteps by their pursuing a career in music. They took to the stage with their band at a concert earlier this week and their Oscar-winning mother was there for support. Moses Martin, 19, is the youngest child of Coldplay 's Chris Martin, 48, and actor Gwyneth Paltrow, 52. The exes, who split in 2014 before getting divorce, but who have remained on good terms, are also parents to Apple Martin, 21. Like his father, Moses is a member of a band, with him one third of trio Dancer. His group performed at a concert in Chicago recently whilst supporting another band. It comes after Chris issued a warning to his own fans during his first gig with Coldplay since a kiss cam scandal earlier this month. Moses' band Dancer took to the stage at the Thalia Hall in Chicago last night. Alongside his bandmates Orlando and Andy, he opened for duo Royel Otis - who are due to perform at Reading Festival and Leeds Festival soon - at the venue. Prior to the gig, Dancer posted about their appearance on platforms like Instagram. Alongside a video of the trio performing together whilst sat on the back of a truck, they shared details of the gig with their followers. "I love this band," one person reacted to the post. Another wrote in the comments section: "Amazing." Someone else responded to the band's post: "See ya there." Someone else asked: "How can I listen to your songs???" Dancer teased over potential music being released soon, with the band's account replying: "Soon." Gwyneth liked the post and shared her excitement over the upcoming gig in the comments section. Teasing that she would be there to support her son, she wrote: "Can't wait." She later revealed that she was at the show in a post on her own account on the platform. The actor uploaded a photo that was seemingly taken backstage at the venue last night. It showed three microphone kits, each with a band member's name on, and Gwyneth didn't provide any caption. More recently, in a post uploaded to her Instagram Story earlier today, she shared a photo of the band on stage. Gwyneth shared her pride over Moses being a musician in a tribute for his birthday on the platform back in April. She wrote at the time: "Happy birthday [Moses]. Honestly, you are a dream come true. You are deeply kind and brilliant." She continued by writing to him: "You have an incredible intellect and you are so gifted, so talented. I listen to your music on repeat and miss you so much at college. And today more than ever. I love you my boy."

Justin Trudeau takes major step in Katy Perry ‘romance' with concert date
In a pairing no one saw coming but everyone is now watching, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted attending Katy Perry's Montreal concert. The gig comes just days after the two were filmed dining together at a high-end local restaurant. The sighting has reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship, turning a political retirement into something far splashier. Social media erupted late Tuesday night as concertgoers at Perry's July 30 show shared footage of Trudeau, 53, in the audience at the Bell Centre. He wasn't alone, as his 16-year-old daughter Ella-Grace was at his side, beaming as the pop star powered through her chart-topping setlist. But it wasn't just a father-daughter night out that got people talking. Eyewitness videos appear to show Trudeau visibly enjoying Perry's performance, mouthing lyrics to Dark Horse and watching her acrobatic stage routine with wide-eyed admiration. One clip shows him momentarily frozen as Perry strikes a pose mid-song, a soft grin possibly betraying more than casual appreciation. The concert appearance follows closely on the heels of the much buzzed-about dinner between Trudeau and Perry at Le Violon, an upscale French restaurant in downtown Montreal. The two were filmed together on July 28 in a moment that has since gone viral, fueling wild speculation and a flurry of memes. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that both Trudeau and Perry are recently single. Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire in 2023, while Perry reportedly split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom earlier this summer. Though there has been no official comment from either camp, the timing and visibility of their outings have left fans and media alike leaning in with curiosity. More Trending While some observers are dismissing the events as coincidental or simply a high-profile friendship, others have been quick to project something more. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Critics, however, have pointed to the spectacle as a calculated rebranding effort for both parties – Perry, 40, shifting her public image post-Orlando, and Trudeau stepping further into post-political life with a dose of celebrity glamour. But if that's the case, it's working. The internet hasn't stopped talking since the sightings emerged. For now, it remains to be seen whether this is a flirtation, a friendship, or just a fascinating coincidence. Got a story?
