F1's Charles Leclerc is having a pretty decent year. The Monegasque recently tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux, and Ferrari's 2026 F1 car has given us the most memorable wheel-to-wheel racing of the season so far.
A couple of days ago, he took delivery of a new Riva yacht, with the Italian brand celebrating the launch of the 20th Riva 102' Corsaro Super at its La Spezia shipyard. The Scuderia Ferrari driver is a loyal Riva customer, and his Riva 82’ Diva once featured in Netflix's Drive to Survive (Riva's Scuderia Ferrari sponsorship probably has something to do with the brand loyalty).

Riva described the launch as an intimate ceremony attended by Leclerc and the shipyard employees who worked on the project. Built at Riva’s La Spezia facility, the yacht is the 20th hull of the 102' Corsaro Super, a flybridge model presented as the evolution of the 100’ Corsaro.
The 102' Corsaro Super combines sporty character with the elegance of the Riva name. Large glazed surfaces are designed to strengthen the connection between the indoor and outdoor areas, giving the yacht a more open feel.
Officina Italiana Design developed the model, in collaboration with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
Naturally, Leclerc’s yacht features a number of personalized details. The exterior includes furniture by Minotti, paired with decorative cushions by Jim Thompson. On the flybridge, a custom bar unit is fitted with an oversized grill, an induction hob, two fridges, and an ice maker. That makes it an ideal space for open-air entertaining.
At the stern, the beach club spans more than 35 sq m, allowing owners to make the most of their time on the water. It includes an inflatable platform for water toys, a swim ladder, and a customized hauling ramp intended to increase the available space.
Inside, the yacht continues that bespoke approach. The interiors feature Poliform furniture and custom details selected by Leclerc, including the door handles.
The main lounge and master suite have Bang & Olufsen audio and video systems, while the master bathroom is finished in polished Calacatta Vagli Oro marble. Other bathrooms and surfaces use Corian Calacatta Greige, chosen to complement the yacht’s interior palette.
Other rooms also reflect the same attention to detail. The guest cabins on the lower deck are fitted with Frette bed linen, duvets, and mattress toppers, while the social and dining spaces are appointed with Christofle tableware.
Power comes from twin EPA Tier III-compliant MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each producing 2,638 horsepower. The yacht delivers a cruising speed of 24 knots and a top speed of 28 knots.
To enhance comfort underway and at anchor, the yacht has Hydrotab Interceptor trim tabs, Sleipner Vector Fins, and Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizers to reduce rolling. Lerclerc fans can perhaps look forward to seeing more of the yacht in future episodes of Drive to Survive.
