Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys romantic yacht holiday in Spain with his partner Georgina Rodriguez

CRISTIANO Ronaldo has once again chosen Spain to take a romantic break with his partner Georgina Rodriguez.

The football star, 39, spent a few days sailing around the coves of Mallorca in a luxury yacht.

The trip was revealed by Rodriguez, 36, who shared a few pictures on her Instagram page, alongside the caption: “A few days for mum and dad.”

The snaps show the couple, who have two children together, sailing at sea, working out in the gym and eating meals inside their boat.

Ronaldo was also seen working out at a gym in Palma de Mallorca.

Ronaldo has two children with Rodriguez and another three who born via two different surrogates.

The Portuguese and his family have been spending parts of the summer in the Balearics for the past few years.

In 2021, Ronaldo hosted many family members at the Castell de Manresa in Alcudia, Mallorca.

The exclusive villa offers total privacy and sea views. The next year they stayed at an equally exclusive mansion near Bunyola.

They also visited Mallorca last summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo holidays with his girlfriend and five kids at luxury Majorca country villa

Cristiano Ronaldo is holidaying with his girlfriend and five children at a luxury country villa in Majorca , it emerged on Thursday.

The Man United footballer and his 28-year-old partner Georgina Rodriguez teased fans on Wednesday with photos of them on board Cristiano’s private jet and eating at a large wooden table.

But their secret sunshine destination has now been outed as a huge rural retreat at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains.

The villa has its own gym, pool surrounded by palm trees, several jacuzzis, a beach volleyball court and a mini-football pitch, according to island newspaper Ultima Hora which has published aerial shots of the magnificent property.

The newspaper also says the villa has its own chapel and a rumoured “erotic room” underneath - and is the same property the Man U frontman’s former teammate Sergio Ramos picked for a previous holiday with wife Pilar Rubio and their children.

Cristiano, who has taken his two-month-old daughter Esmeralda with Georgina away on her first holiday, is expected to stay at the house for the next ten days and enjoy regular outings on his yacht, thought to be the £5.5 million Azimut Grande which is moored in Port Adriano in the south-west of the island.

It is not known how much he is renting his holiday home for.

Local reports say he has had two of his fleet of sports cars - his £8.5 million limited edition Bugatti Centodieci and a Mercedes 4x4, brought over by ferry from the Spanish mainland.

The footballer and his family picked Majorca for their summer holiday last year before the striker announced he was returning to Old Trafford.

They stayed at a £10,000-a-night historic seafront mansion on the island built to defend the coast from attacks by the British.

The property was identified as Manresa Castle - Castell de Manresa in Catalan Spanish - after Cristiano posted pictures of him relaxing with Georgina at the start of July last year.

The sensational seven-bed property where he stayed dates from 1715 and was built to ward off the British who at the time controlled the island of Menorca. This new break is the couple’s first since they announced the tragic death of Esmeralda’s twin brother on April 18.

They had announced last October they were expecting twins and Argentinian-born Georgina revealed she was carrying a boy and girl in a touching video featuring their daughter Alana Martina, four, and Cristiano’s three children, five-years-old twins Eva and Mateo and Cristiano Jr who is 11.

Cristiano said in a heart-wrenching statement after the death of their child: “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.

“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support.

“We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”

The family are  staying in a luxury villa , secluded from prying eyes, that sits at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains.

Of course, they arrived by style - using  his £20million G200 private jet  to fly there.

There's also a modern kitchen onboard, as well as two relaxation areas, a huge lounge, and a lavish dining room.

In terms of its specifications, it's capable of reaching 28 knots, thanks to two 1,900 horsepower engines, and is made of carbon fibre weighing a whopping 93 tonnes.

Ronaldo and family boarded a plane on Tuesday - travelling in style in their Gulfstream G200 twin-engine jet.

Up to ten passengers can fly at one time, so there would have been plenty of leg room on board.

As well as being roomy, Ronaldo has a wardrobe where he can store his designer clothes.

There's Wi-Fi, a telephone, fax machine, electric oven, microwave, refrigerator, and an entertainment system so the kids won't get bored.

Last year,  the famous family  stayed at a £10,000-per-night historic mansion on the seafront.

This time round, they have gone for something more private. On the recommendation of Cristiano's former team mate Sergio Ramos, they have chosen a luxurious rural retreat surrounded by the Tramuntana mountains in complete seclusion.

But it seems travelling to the Spanish island in the family £20million G200 private jet was not enough - Ronaldo saw fit to make sure his Bugatti Centodieci, worth around £8.5m, also came for the trip, as well as the family Mercedes SUV.

Ronaldo bought the limited-edition Bugatti back in 2020. It has a top speed of 236mph and goes from 0-62mph in just 2.4 seconds. The footballer is said to be one of just 10 people in the world to own a Centodieci.  

Since meeting in 2016 at a in a Gucci store where girlfriend Georgina was a retail assistant, she has followed five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo from Madrid to Turin and then Manchester, as he left Real Madrid for Juventus and United.

Splashing the cash: Ronaldo had his £8.5m Bugatti Centodieci as well as his Mercedes shipped to Majorca as part of the family holiday 

Ronaldo's oldest son Cristiano Jr. was born in the United States in 2010 but immediately taken back to Madrid to be raised in Spain. The identity of his mother is unknown.

In June 2017, the then-Real Madrid star surprised fans with the news he'd welcomed twins Eva and Mateo through a surrogate, and just one month later he and Georgina announced they were expecting their first child together.  

Georgina then gave birth to their daughter Alana on November 12, 2017, with the sportsman announcing the news on Instagram, writing: 'Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!' 

Sweet: Georgina looked every inch the doting mother as she jetted off on a family holiday with Cristiano and their five children

Family fun: She also offered a look at her seven-week-old daughter Bella as she cradled the newborn while sat alongside Cristiano Jr, 11, Eva and Matteo, five and Alana Martina, four

In October 2021 the couple revealed they were expecting twins but tragically their son died at birth on April 18, but their daughter survived.

Following the devastating stillbirth, the couple and their other children returned home with their newborn daughter, days after the footballer confirmed his partner had lost the child's twin brother.  

The striker shared a social media update shortly after their baby girl made the journey back from hospital following her birth.

Posting a photo for his 430million followers, Ronaldo cradled his daughter while accompanied by Spanish partner Georgina and their four children - three of which the footballer fathered through surrogates.

Captioning the post, he wrote: 'Home sweet home. Gio and our baby girl are finally together with us. We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and gestures.

'Your support is very important and we all felt the love and respect that you have for our family. Now it’s time to be grateful for the life that we’ve just welcomed into this world.'  

Last month, Georgina and Cristiano revealed they had named their baby daughter Bella Esmeralda in a heartwarming Instagram post.

The footballer's girlfriend announced the name they had picked alongside three adorable photos which saw the little one sleeping in her cot... after confirming the child's twin brother tragically died at birth.

Tagging her location as Manchester, the photos saw their tot appearing to crack a smile while wear a pink top as well as a white Moschino number and a knitted hat.

She wrote in her caption: 'Bella Esmeralda [green heart] 180422.'

Angus cloud’s mom reveals his estate is worth way less than expected, fast x cast, ranked by net worth, quick links, a superyacht for the family, the numerous amenities inside the yacht, a luxurious getaway.

Cristiano Ronaldo's unmatched talent and hard work have made him one of the greatest players in soccer. The player's football club deals, endorsements, and business investments have earned him a $500 million net worth, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. Known for his style and charisma, the soccer star splashes millions on buying luxuries few can afford. A collector of the best, he has a stunning watch collection , a long fleet of sleek cars, and more recently, he purchased a mega yacht for his family.

The superyacht costs a whopping $7 million and boasts luxurious amenities that the family enjoys. Fans regularly catch a glimpse of the yacht through his social media accounts, where he shares snippets from his luxurious life. Let's take a look inside Cristiano Ronaldo's $7 million superyachts.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a growing family with his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez, and he likes to be a hands-on father while providing them with luxuries he couldn't afford growing up in Portugal. Superyachts have been considered a status symbol today, and many top athletes own a motorboat that shows off their expensive tastes. Before Cristiano Ronaldo purchased his $7 million yachts in 2020, he would rent a yacht charter called Africa I that featured six cabins for twelve guests. According to Insider , the rent of the yacht was $239,500 per week, so the soccer star decided to purchase a yacht for himself.

In 2020, Ronaldo spotted the yacht in Viareggio, Italy, at the Azimut-Benetti Shipyards before buying it for himself. Called the Azimut-Grande 27, the yacht offers dynamic stability with its carbon-fiber structure that reduces weight and increases the surface area. Azimut-Grande 27 was designed by Achille Salvagni Architects, while the prolific superyacht designer Stefano Righini completed the exterior styling. The yacht's overall length is 26.78 meters, width is 6.59 meters with a maximum speed of 28 knots, as reported by Azimut Yachts .

The yacht's interior is equipped with space and comfort that the family can enjoy. It features five expansive bedrooms and six equally stunning bathrooms. Additionally, it has two lounge rooms with a dining table in the adjoining open area for a romantic dinner. The kitchen is stocked with modern appliances for the crew to make meals, as stated by Daily Star . The deck has an open bar with two lounge areas to bask in the sunlight next to it. The Owner's Cabin is located on the yacht's Main Deck and has full-height windows on all sides to offer a scenic view of the ocean.

The Azimut-Grande 27 was built considering the highest nautical standards and has received the CE Category A and NMMA certifications that ensure that the boat follows two important safety codes. At the Wheelhouse, the yacht is equipped with an Optimus Electronic Power Steering system created by Seastar Solutions and helps the owner configure responses to eliminate hydraulic lines from the helm station. With its Active Trim Control, the superyacht offers an increase in speed and lower fuel consumption.

As mentioned by The Sun , after purchasing the Azimut-Grande 27, Cristiano Ronaldo first set sail on the superyacht in 2020 and took it on a debut voyage to the Tyrrhenian coast, which is a part of the Mediterranean Sea with his girlfriend and children. The soccer star showed off the new purchase on Instagram to his more than 400 million followers. He has continued to set sail on the yacht during summers and taking time off from playing on the soccer field.

Ronaldo has been spotted on the yacht multiple times, including when his team was eliminated from the Round of 16 at Euro 2020, and he decided to take a break with his family. As a part of the Italian football club Juventus, he spends most of his time in Italy and sets sail along the beautiful coasts. He has also traveled to a small commune in Italy called Celle Ligure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the soccer star spent uninterrupted time on the yacht away from the public with his family, enjoying the sea and staying aboard the luxury vessel.

Cristiano Ronaldo loves to live his life in luxury and has always maintained his status symbol as having one of the most lavish lifestyles of any athlete. The soccer player also continues to work hard to earn his big paychecks as he practices for his games while continuing his deal with the soccer club Juventus, which will end in 2022.

Once the reserve of celebrities and the super-rich, yachts and luxury charters are fast becoming the preferred choice for elite athletes , looking for rest, relaxation, and most importantly , privacy with the water around Mallorca being a top spot. But which sports stars boast the most impressive vessels? Here, Mike Green, CEO of Boats For Sale has ranked the most expensive yachts owned by celebrity athletes today.

Appearing first on the list is boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather Jr . and his behemoth superyacht, reported to have set the 15-time world champion back a knockout $200m.

Although little is known about the vessel itself, it is thought to be complete with several bedrooms, a cinema room, and a sizeable swimming pool.

In 2023, Mayweather provided insight into his life on the superyacht while visiting Miami by sharing a series of snaps on Instagram.

The photos show the boxing champ basking in the sunshine on the deck of his luxurious craft along with a box of cigars, personalised with “TM”, the initials of the fighter’s nickname “The Money”.

The caption read, “I’m the Yacht Master and I ain’t talking about a Rolex” [sic].

Featuring second on the list is basketball icon Michael Jordan who owns, not one, not two, but three luxurious boats. His Airness’s most expensive vessel is a 230ft custom superyacht named Joy , which set the former Chicago Bulls player back a cool $80 million in 2016.

With eight luxurious bedrooms connected by a glass elevator, Jordan’s yacht can host up to 12 guests with multiple entertainment options, including a full bar, state-of-the-art gym, on-deck jacuzzi, and even a basketball court, so the former champion can stay on top of his game.

No wonder monthly maintenance costs can reach up to $800,000 per week when being chartered!

The second ship in MJ’s fleet is the creatively named Mr Terrible, which reportedly cost $21 million in 2022. Despite being much smaller than Joy, the vessel comfortably hosts six guests in three luxury suites and boasts plenty of space with split-level living spaces and decadent interiors.

Jordan’s third boat is a Viking sportfish named Catch 32 , priced at $7 million .

The 80ft sportfishing boat can reach speeds up to 40 knots (46 mph) and has been entered into several professional fishing competitions, most recently the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina.

Athletes with the most expensive boats

Golfing superstar Tiger Woods appears next in the ranking with his custom yacht Privacy , purchased at the height of his fame in 2004.

At 155ft, Privacy is classed as a superyacht, boasting a host of luxury features from an on-deck jacuzzi, a gym and even an inflatable decompression chamber for diving.

Woods is a keen diver and reportedly spent a week in 2009 at Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina where he went through Special Forces training with the Marines to become a master scuba diver.

Seven bodies have been found after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily.

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel named Bayesian when it got into difficulty in the early hours of Monday, with 15 people rescued.

Here's what we know about the sinking of the luxury vessel so far.

What might have caused the sinking?

The British-flagged luxury vessel, named Bayesian, capsized at around 4.30am local time on Monday morning off Palermo, according to ship-tracking site Marine Traffic.

It sank in as little as 60 seconds with 22 people on board, 12 passengers and a crew of 10, according to the Italian coastguard.

Waterspouts, essentially tornados that form over water, were seen as powerful winds battered the area overnight, local media said.

The yacht may have sunk faster with all the doors open due to the hot weather, Sailing Today magazine editor Sam Jefferson has said.

"I imagine all the doors were open because it was hot, so there were enough hatches and doors open that it filled with water very quickly and sank like that," he said.

Official pictures show air conditioning units in several of the rooms, however, which could counter the suggestion open windows caused the vessel to sink faster.

The huge mast is also likely to have played a role, he added.

What are waterspouts?

Waterspouts typically occur during thunderstorms and can develop very rapidly, within minutes.

Their spin generally reaches wind speeds between 75-200mph, but can reach as high as 300mph.

They can travel at about 10-20mph typically but can reach greater speeds, making them difficult to avoid - especially in something as slow-moving as a yacht.

Matthew Schanck, chair of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, called the reports of a tornado or waterspout "rare" and "quite alarming".

"The vessel was at anchor in a recognised anchorage," Mr Schanck said.

"Depending on wind direction and the state of the sea, this informs the captain whether it is a safe area to anchor or not. There was nothing that was too concerning, for my eye. All in all, the captain used the information they had to make a safe call."

Who owns the yacht?

The yacht belonged to the family of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch. He was confirmed to have died after rescuers found his body on Thursday. Mr Lynch was on holiday with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, who is still missing, and his wife Angela Bacares, who was rescued.

Mr Lynch, 59, was known as the " British Bill Gates " and has been in the headlines in recent months over a high-profile fraud case.

In June, a US jury cleared him of all charges, which were related to the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard (HP). The yacht trip is believed to have been a celebration of the end of Mr Lynch's legal troubles.

HP accused him of deliberately overstating the value of the company before it was acquired by the American tech giant.

Mr Lynch was extradited to the US to face trial in May last year and spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco as he awaited trial on 17 charges of conspiracy and wire fraud brought by the US Department of Justice - which were later reduced to 15 charges. He always denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted.

Who was on board when the boat sank?

The passengers were largely British and American, with crew members were from New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada.

Charlotte Golunski was among the Britons rescued. Her LinkedIn profile says she is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm Invoke Capital and has worked there since 2012.

Speaking after the ordeal, Ms Golunski told Italian media that she lost her daughter Sofia for "two seconds" amid the "fury" of the sea but was able to retrieve her. She said she held the infant above the waves until the lifeboat was ready.

"Many people screamed. Luckily the lifeboat inflated and 11 of us were able to get on board," she told ANSA.

The girl's father James Emsley also survived, according to Sicily's civil protection agency.

Also on board were Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of investment bank Morgan Stanley, his wife Judy Bloomer, a top US lawyer Chris Morvillo, who worked on Mr Lynch's criminal case, and his wife Neda Morvillo. Divers confirmed on Thursday that their bodies had been recovered.

The yacht's captain James Cutfield survived, along with South African crew members Leah Randall and Katja Chicken.

Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian-Antiguan chef who was working on the boat, was the first to be found dead, the Italian Coastguard confirmed to Sky News.

During rescue efforts, divers saw "corpses through the portholes" of the wreck as they recovered the body of a man at a depth of 50m (164ft), according to Salvo Cocina, the head of the Civil Protection of Sicily.

What do we know about the vessel?

The Bayesian is owned by a company controlled by Mr Lynch's wife.

It was known for its unusual 72.3m (246ft) single mast - one of the world's tallest made of aluminium - and shared its name with the statistical method Mr Lynch's Autonomy software was based on.

It was built by Italian company Perini Navi in 2008 and last refitted in 2020.

It was listed for rent for up to €195,000 (£166,000) a week, according to online charter sites.

The luxury vessel , which was managed by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, could accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites.

It won a string of awards for its design, according to online specialist yacht sites.

Mr Schanck, of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, said the vessel would have been equipped with "high standard" life-saving appliances and radio communications.

He added the yacht would have met all international standards and UK Maritime Coastguard Agency regulations before its voyage.

It was previously named Salute, or "health" in Italian, when it flew under a Dutch flag. Its minimalist interior featured light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions on charter sites.

What were its last movements?

The boat left the Sicilian port of Milazzo on 14 August and was last tracked east of Palermo on Sunday evening, with a navigation status of "at anchor", according to vessel tracking site VesselFinder.

The Bayesian previously travelled to other parts of Sicily before its last sighting off the coast of the port of Porticello.

On Sunday, the boat was seen off the coast of Cefalu before it travelled towards Porticello, MarineTraffic data shows.

In the days before, the yacht travelled around four of the Aeolian islands, just north of Sicily.

After yacht sinks, experts say Mediterranean growing more dangerous

By Antonella Cinelli and Gavin Jones

ROME (Reuters) - The shipwreck of a luxury yacht moored off the coast of Sicily is the latest sign that the Mediterranean is becoming a more dangerous sea to sail in, climate experts and skippers say.

One man died and six people are still missing, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, after the Bayesian, a 56-metre-long (184-ft) sailboat, was hit by a ferocious storm on Monday, sinking in a matter of minutes.

Climatologists say global warming is making such violent and unexpected tempests more frequent in a sea used as a summer playground for millions of tourists, including a wealthy few sailing its waters on superyachts.

Luca Mercalli, president of Italy's meteorological society, said the sea surface temperature around Sicily in the days leading up to the shipwreck was about 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), almost three degrees more than normal.

"This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms," he told Reuters.

The changes in "Mare Nostrum" (Our Sea), as the ancient Romans called the Mediterranean, are also being noticed by experienced skippers such as Massimo Aramu, who runs the Akua sailing school on the coast near the Italian capital.

Currently sailing around Greece, Aramu said he did not like navigating Italy's Tyrrhenian coast around Sicily or the Spanish Balearic islands because there are "often critical situations with little warning".

Last week, a storm similar to the one that sank the Bayesian hit the Balearic archipelago, which includes the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca, leaving several yachts washed up ashore.

Giuliano Gallo, a former skipper who crossed the Atlantic and has written several books on sailing, said the Mediterranean was becoming more like the Caribbean, which has areas that many boats steer clear of at certain times of the year.

"But things are less predictable in the Mediterranean," he said.

Another sign of the more erratic weather in the Mediterranean was seen a year ago when thousands of people were killed in Libya by flash floods triggered by a so-called medicane - a supercharged Mediterranean storm fuelled by warmer seas.

Karsten Borner, the captain of a boat that was moored alongside the Bayesian but escaped harm, said Monday's storm had been "very violent, very intense, a lot of water and I think a turning system like a tornado".

He also blamed more frequent episodes of intense heat during the summer months for playing a role in causing such storms.

"The water is ... way too hot for the Mediterranean and this causes for sure heavy storms, like we had one week ago on the Balearics, like we had two years ago in Corsica and so on," he said.

Sanlorenzo Yachts

San Lorenzo Yachts

Italian yachts from the brand San Lorenzo are like floating Rolls-Royce or Bentley. From its very beginning, founded in 1958 by Giovanni Janetti, the company has focused not on the number of yachts produced but on their reputation, trying to win the favor of the clients with so called "old money of Europe."

With its three shipyards in Viareggio, Massa and Ameglia the company has firmly established itself as the world's leading manufacturer of luxury comfortable yachts.

In December 2013 San Lorenzo has taken the second place in the global ranking of companies producing yachts over 24 meters. Thus again the company confirmed its status as one of the leaders of the yacht building and the upward trend in its development, which contrasts sharply with the current state of the global yachting market.

San Lorenzo specialization – flybridge planing motor yachts from 62 to 108 feet, half-planning yachts of composite materials, steel and aluminum up to 38 meters and mega yachts with ultrafast displacement aluminum hull from 38 meters and above.

The owner of a new San Lorenzo yacht can choose the appropriate design and equipment from a range of options, so each yacht corresponds to a specific customer's taste. The main features of the yacht San Lorenzo can be called elegance and sharpness of lines

The most famous models San Lorenzo for today – 40 m Alloy yacht named 4H, 100, 57 and 108 ft yachts.
