In January the four-time world champion was seen inspecting a luxury yacht alongside partner Kelly Piquet.
And those visiting Monte Carlo for the F1 Grand Prix weekend were treated to a sight of Verstappen's spectacular 33-metre Mangusta GranSport 33.
The vessel, built by Overmarine and launched in the winter break, can accommodate 12 guests with five staterooms and a further three cabins for crew members.
On top, there are multiple lounging areas and a spacious sundeck while also having a BEACH CLUB at its stern for easy access to water.

All of this leans into the £739,000-a-year upkeep of it.
Monaco harbour is the perfect home for the yacht given its proximity to Verstappen's home and the stunning weather there.
And it is some feat to stand out when F1 comes to town, with the race attracting the super rich and celebs from the world over who are all vying to show off their dizzying wealth.
However, behind the wheel Verstappen has been a bit less impressive.

He earned second in FP1 which was topped by Charles Leclerc - but not without both the Monegasque and Lewis Hamilton being involved in scary incidents.
FP2 was far less productive for the Dutchman as he clocked in only the tenth quickest lap of the session, which was once again topped by Ferrari's Leclerc.

Spooky Jenna Ortega ruffles feathers in frilly dress at Paris premiere of Wednesday season 2
Wednesday has been viewed 252 million times and counting WOOHOO LA-LA, JEN Spooky Jenna Ortega ruffles feathers in frilly dress at Paris premiere of Wednesday season 2 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OO-La-la! Spooky Jenna Ortega ruffles more than some feathers in a frilly dress in Paris. The US star wore the brown frock for the French premiere of the second series of Netflix hit Wednesday, directed by Tim Burton. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Jenna Ortega at the Paris premiere of the second series of Netflix hit Wednesday Credit: Getty 3 With Tim Burton, who directs the Netflix smash Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The show, based on the daughter from The Addams Family, will return next week after the original run became a ratings hit following its release in 2022. On the reception to the first series, Jenna, 22, said: 'I'm still very appreciative and grateful. "We didn't know that anyone was going to watch the show. 'You do these things and you don't know what's to come, so it was very overwhelming.' A former child star, Jenna was catapulted into the A list when Wednesday – viewed 252 million times and counting – launched in 2022. And by her own refreshingly candid admission, that rapid rise to the top was overwhelming. 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person,' she told Harper's Bazaar in May. 'After the pressure, the attention – as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.' The eight-month shoot in Romania had been challenging, with Jenna revealing: 'I was alone. Never had any hot water. The boilers in two of my apartments were broken, so I always took cold showers.' At least she'll be getting a warm welcome from Wednesday fans as the show returns to their screens.

The pair have been joined by Kate's 22-year-old model daughter Lila. It came after Kate posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently Kate's wellness brand Cosmoss went bust with debts topping £2.9million. Later in July she was seen partying among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival. Meanwhile Kate's daughter Lila has been promoting the new Diabetes Type 1 Barbie doll. Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks. Lila, 22, said: 'Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me. 'To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.'

Inside Man Utd's pre-season tour routine as Ruben Amorim CANCELS double training sessions and stars go undetected in US
The players have been granted extra free time each day DEVIL IN THE DETAIL Inside Man Utd's pre-season tour routine as Ruben Amorim CANCELS double training sessions and stars go undetected in US Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RUBEN AMORIM has been so impressed by the dedication of his Manchester United squad that he has CANCELLED the planned double training sessions. In a stark change from the dictatorial regime the United squad endured under former boss Erik tan Hag on their Asian tour last summer, Old Trafford chief Amorim and his fitness team have seen enough to ensure a relaxed environment at their Chicago base. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Ruben Amorim has been impressed with his Man Utd players on their pre-season tour so far Credit: Getty 4 Players have been hitting the gym at 10:30am every day Credit: Getty And the buy-in from the players has been clear, with a growing feeling that United might, at last, be back on the right track. SunSport has been given an insight into how Amorim and his players have spent their time since arriving in the USA last week. That includes the gym and fitness demands, how he has managed the sauna-like conditions to develop tactical plans and down-time for the players to ensure they are ready to take more on board. Amorim and his staff, aware of how far behind the Prem elite they were last season, were determined to make a flying start when the players returned to Carrington at the start of July. READ MORE ON MAN UTD SAK IT OFF Man Utd 'make shock bid to sign Isak as Liverpool bid rejected by Newcastle' All the first team squad were given pretty detailed and intensive fitness programmes to do during their holidays, including reporting their performance in specific physical tasks. From day one, it was clear to the club's sports science staff, when the numbers clocked matched their reports, that the players had been treating the demands seriously. A bleep test-style sprint exercise, ramping up the requirements, brought extra intensity to the initial sessions, as Amorim and his staff wanted confirmation that the players recognised how much was needed. But the positive statistical feedback was proof that the squad wanted to be part of a new approach, with that push for fitness continuing over the past four weeks. Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford 4 Players have left for training at 9:15am every day Credit: Getty The gym work has started at 10:30 each day, with the players gathering for breakfast from 7.30am onwards - although without a rigid timeline, except for Amorim, who has done his own hour's gym work before the players have finished their morning meal. But the coach to training - at Chicago Fire's impressive Endeavour complex - has left on the dot at 9.15am. Sesko wants Man Utd move as Villa block Watkins exit | Transfers Exposed Sessions have seen a lot of running on the Endeavour pitches, with one nominal 'shooting' drill including stamina work on sprints between the stations. And with the heat in mind, Amorim - with not even the club cameras rolling - has started his tactical work with the squad. That is about making players feel emboldened to make decisions under pressure, with just two or three bullet-point style instructions. Set-piece work is overseen by assistant manager Carlos Fernandes, viewed by Amorim as his trusted confident and second set of eyes - not dissimilar to the role Jose Mourinho had under Bobby Robson at Porto. However, Amorim's initial plans for his side to do two training sessions each day have not been required because of the high fitness levels. That has allowed Amorim to give his players their afternoons largely off, with the extra free time providing an opportunity for them to strengthen their internal relationships. Players have relaxed in cafes and gone shopping - with Chicago offering a relative anonymity they would not get at home. Unlike on previous tours, though, few of Amorim's side have utilsed the games room install at their Waldorf Astoria hotel, mainly as it is sited on the third floor, two stories below the main rooms level. Amorim is understood to believe he needs to treat the players as adults rather than petulant or truculent children, as happened under Ten Hag. Skipper Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire have been influential figures, speaking to the various player groups and staff to help foster the collective environment the manager has been determined to achieve. That has all helped, especially for the players who remember the Ten Hag pre-season tours with a shudder. It is about discipline within an agreed system, rather than a draconian crackdown. That was shown when Ten Hag and his players were in the Thai capital Bangkok. The lifts in their hotel were very slow and with Ten Hag imposing punishments for anybody who was late to attend a meeting or a meal, many of the players ended up using the stairs to ensure they were on time. It meant stairwells packed with players hauling themselves up 40 flights of stairs to get to the dining room. 4 Amorim is understood to believe he needs to treat the players as adults rather than petulant or truculent children Credit: Getty MAN UTD TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: All the latest deals and rumours from Old Trafford
