The Mediterranean Sea is once again hosting one of the season's most talked-about vessels as David and Victoria Beckham's luxury yacht 'Seven' has been spotted cruising the crystal-clear waters off Mallorca's coast. The 18.5 million euro vessel, a Riva 130 Bellissima, is currently accommodating the celebrity couple and their younger children, Cruz and Harper, during their family getaway in the Balearic Islands.
The yacht's name, 'Seven', carries special significance for the Beckham family, referencing both David's iconic Manchester United and England shirt number, as well as their daughter Harper Seven's middle name. This Italian-crafted maritime masterpiece serves as more than just a means of transport - it's a floating luxury residence that perfectly suits the family's lifestyle.
Technical specifications of this high-end vessel include approximately 40 metres in length, making it one of the most exclusive models from the prestigious Riva shipyard, a company with over 180 years of heritage in luxury boat building. The layout encompasses several private suites with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for all passengers.
Premium features and amenities
The yacht's interior boasts expansive common areas adorned with premium materials, featuring both indoor and outdoor dining spaces that offer panoramic Mediterranean views. A notable addition is the water toys garage, housing jet skis and diving equipment, whilst the stern includes an extendable platform for easy sea access. The upper deck features a strategically placed jacuzzi for optimal sunset viewing.
Mediterranean cruising and tourism impact
The Beckhams' choice of Mallorca for their holiday continues the island's tradition as a premier Mediterranean destination. The Balearics have witnessed a 15% increase in luxury vessel arrivals compared to the previous year, with local ports such as Palma, Puerto Portals, and Port Adriano adapting their facilities to cater to this exclusive market segment.
Local businesses benefit significantly from this high-end nautical tourism, which generates an estimated £430 million annual economic impact in the Balearic Islands alone. The presence of vessels like 'Seven' has helped establish Spain as Europe's second most popular superyacht destination, trailing only France in terms of luxury maritime tourism.
