David and Victoria Beckham cosy up on a charter boat as they join their brood in heading to new £16m superyacht in Miami… after upgrading their £5m vessel for new cruiser

David and Victoria Beckham have swapped their £5million yacht for an incredible £16million superyacht.

And on Thursday the famous family were seen taking advantage of the Easter holidays to spend time with their lavish new purchase.

David and Victoria, aged 48 and 49 respectively, were spotted zooming across the waters of Miami on a charter boat en route to their new ship.

The famous couple were joined by some of their beloved family members, including sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 19, and their youngest child, daughter Harper, 12.

The footballer, who also shares 21-year-old Romeo with the former Spice Girls star, opted for a trendy bucket hat and T-shirt, while Victoria pulled a baseball cap low on her face while their children all opted for summer clothes.

Victoria kept her signature pout in place as the couple walked on the water, shielding her eyes with sunglasses.

With David’s arm lovingly draped around the star, they chatted with their children, who chatted excitedly as they made their way to their parents’ latest lavish purchase.

The couple have been spending time on their impressive-looking vessel, which is said to be worth £16million and is a significant upgrade from the relatively modest £5million yacht, which was reportedly bought by Beckham in 2022.

Larger and more imposing than its predecessor – believed to be a ’90 Argo bought from yacht manufacturer Riva – the new boat boasts three expansive decks and loads of space to relax.

The vessel is believed to be another Riva design, the 130 Bellissima, complete with a private 20 square meter garage, a jacuzzi on the upper deck and a swim platform on the lower deck.

It is not known whether the ship is owned or chartered, but both are personalized with the single word Seven – a reference to Beckham’s Manchester United and England shirt number, and daughter Harper’s middle name – emblazoned on the hull.

Taking advantage of the extra space, Beckham and his fashion designer wife were seen sunbathing as spring temperatures continued to rise on the Gulf Coast.

The football legend is said to have treated himself to his original £5million ship in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish – who often holiday at sea.

A source said The sun at the time: ‘David looked at a number of yachts over the summer and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself and has been incredibly involved in everything.

‘It’s not an oligarch-style superyacht, but it’s still quite luxurious by anyone’s standards. He was inspired after a holiday with Elton and David on their boat – and loves life on the water.

‘There will be an area for the children to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan for a magical holiday abroad.’

Beckham recently admitted he didn’t realize how “strong” Victoria was until they exchanged vows in 1999.

Speaking on This Life of Mine with James Corden, David revealed that he “really liked” her at the time, even though he “didn’t know” who she really was until their relationship progressed.

He said: ‘I actually just liked her. I did. I just liked her.

‘I didn’t know what she was like as a person. I actually liked her as much as most people at that time, and I didn’t know who I would marry (or) who I would stay with for the rest of my life.

“I didn’t realize what a strong woman she was, and that’s what attracted me to her more than anything.”
