With Lawrence Stroll Showering Money, $260 Million Star Fernando Alonso Splashes the Cash in the Ocean

Being the ultimate speedsters, F1 drivers have a knack for picking the best and the fastest supercars. And given that most of them drive for teams who actually are automakers, they get to flaunt the best of the rides. However, there is another thing that the best of the best love to own. One that does not come for free like cars. That is the luxury of owning a high-end yacht. Fernando Alonso is the latest to join the club as a new journey with Lawrence Stroll and Aston Martin begin.

F1 personalities and their association with water vessels are coming to the fore a lot lately. We recently saw Lewis Hamilton having the time of his life while spending a long vacation with snowboarding Olympian Shaun White and actress Nina Dobrev on board a $243 million superyacht called Octopus. Then we learned about former F1 driver Nikita Mazepin’s father going missing with his two yachts. Now, $260 million worth Alonso (according to Celebrity Net Worth) has got a $5,599,000 worth (as listed on Yachtworld.com) 60 Sunreef Power Eco electric yacht.

While revealing the three must-haves on board his new possession, in an interview with Sunreef Yachts, Alonso told, “The first would be a barbecue, which is a must for me. I really enjoy long evening barbecue parties with friends and family, so this is essential to me. I would also like to have a good sound system as music will be an important part of the lifestyle on board. Lastly, I will certainly have some water toys on board so that we can enjoy both relaxation on the sunpads and sports.”

Turns out Fernando is not the only driver on the grid who is a fan of barbecuing while on board. His rival of yesteryear Lewis has that covered already in his 90 feet long water vessel.

Details of the yacht Lewis Hamilton owns

Having a Formula 1 fixture on a track situated right by a water body is a sure-shot recipe for the ultimate entertainment. Races in Monaco and Abu Dhabi carry that appeal. The crème de la crème of the world dock their boats along the track and get a splendid view of the race while partying. Among the yachts parked in Monaco, one of them has been none other than Lewis Hamilton’s.

The $4 million worth Sunseeker (according to GQ) has long built-in sundecks, BBQ, modular lounge seating, and a dining area for eight. The 90-footer is usually parked in Monaco, where Hamilton resides, or in Nice.

Being an Aston Martin driver, Alonso recently got a $3 million Valkyrie Spider. A brief detour from asphalt to blue waters never hurt anyone, though.
