Just Try to Keep Leonardo DiCaprio Off a Yacht, I Dare You

Did you have a nice little New Year’s holiday? Did you watch the whole of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in one big gulp? Maybe you drove somewhere new since flying is so complicated these days. Off to a ski resort a few hours north as the interstate flies, hm? Spent a couple precious hours on this earth drying out cold, wet socks from the last run down the mountain, maybe? Well, that all sounds lovely, but unfortunately for mere mortals everywhere, it will never be as lovely as what Leonardo DiCaprio is up to. 

Leonardo DiCaprio! He of the movies fame. You know, Titanic. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Catch Me If You Can. The Revenant. Most recently, the Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up . This guy, would you believe it, was on a yacht. Of course you believe it. This guy loves yachts . The man simply cannot get enough of them. He is like an oenophile, traversing the lands, grabbing up whatever fermented grapes Dionysus has left us down here. Like, if there is a rare and elegant wine, he’s tried it or wants to try it—but with yachts. 

So this week he’s been chartering Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli ’s yacht, which is called Vava II, in St. Barts. The Vava II has its own Wikipedia page . It’s reported to cost $150 million and sleep about 50 guests and crew members, and frankly, that’s a lot for a boat! Those things are on water! 

Friend and capo of the fabled Pussy Posse Lukas Haas was there, as was DiCaprio’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Camila Morrone. Per the Daily Mail , they even went shopping with the editor in chief of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, which I imagine is something like shooting hoops with LeBron James.  

Before all the shopping and the lounging on deck chairs with Haas and the strolling around St. Barts, DiCaprio celebrated New Year’s on the island alongside Jeff Bezos and partner Lauren Sanchez, Drake, and yacht owner himself Bertarelli. It is where this historic photo was taken.

Middle Of The Ocean by Drake

vava yacht drake

Songfacts®:

  • "Middle of the Ocean" is one of four solo Drake songs on his collaborative studio album with 21 Savage, Her Loss . This track comprises an intro, one long verse, and an outro by Drizzy's former Cash Money boss, Birdman.
  • Drake introduces the song by boasting about his opulent lifestyle. The Toronto MC brags he's staying in a luxury suite at the Byblos hotel in Saint-Tropez, while partying on the Vava II yacht. He continues to flex about the high life on his verse, with bars about the expensive food he's enjoying on the French Riviera.
  • Drake's most buzz-worthy rhymes on the track are where he disses Serena Williams' husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. Drake was reportedly romantically involved with the tennis star before Ohanian came into the picture. Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie He claim we don't got a problem but No, boo, it is like you comin' for sushi We might pop up on 'em at will like Suzuki Drake is letting Ohanian know they still got beef. The entrepreneur responded by tweeting: "The reason I stay winning is because I'm relentless about being the best at whatever I do – including being the best groupie for my wife and daughter."
  • Birdman also relishes the rich life on the outro, where he talks about being in a "million dollar spot... in the middle of the ocean."
  • Ozan "Oz" Yildirim produced the track. It's one of four Her Loss songs he contributed towards, along with " On BS ," "Treacherous Twins" and "3AM on Glenwood."
  • Oz samples the string instrumentation for hip-hop collective The Diplomats' "Real Niggas," which kicks in halfway through Drake's verse. A sample of The O'Jays 1978 track "Cry Together" backs Birdman's outro.

Leonardo DiCaprio jet skiing.

Billionaires, A-listers and jet setters have decamped to St. Tropez with one source telling us the French hotspot is “on fire.”

In fact, there have been several ultra-exclusive bashes vying to be the hottest ticket in the world.

Nightlife mogul Richie Akiva threw a party for Swiss bio tech billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli where we hear Drake, Leonardo DiCaprio, long time “Pussy Posse,” member Tobey Maguire and Bulls star (and Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy) Tristan Thompson hung out with an army of models.

The St. Tropez rager, with a lavish dinner and dancing, was held at what one source described as an “epic estate” overlooking the water. Drake manned a DJ booth set up by the pool.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ CRUZ (@djcruz__)

“Drake was on the mic all night,” says the source.

We’re told model Suede Brooks, who Drake was photographed “yacht hopping,” with on the island, was also in attendance.

Forbes estimates that Bertarelli, who owns the $150 million super yacht VAVA II, is worth a $8.5 billion .

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Page Six hears that on Saturday night there’s an invitation-only bash dubbed the Aurora Gala thrown by artist Mouna Rebiez. She’s expecting Uma Thurman, Diplo, Gerard Butler, Queen Latifah, shipping heir Stavros Niarchos and his wife Dasha Zhukova, among others. It benefits the Aurora mental health organization, which was founded by Rebiez’s kids, Henry and Souraya Chalhoub.

Luxury yacht.

Meanwhile, JC Murray, the grandson of French billionaire Tony Murray, hosted a fete in one of the largest homes in the ultra luxe gated community, Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez. The neighborhood is also home to LVMH luxury group chairman Bernard Arnault and Ritz Paris owner Mohamed al-Fayed.

And we hear rum heiress Lady Monika Bacardi threw a birthday party for 300 people on the beach at Indie Beach with guests like publicist Anna Rothschild.

Tristan Thompson on a yacht

Sienna Miller and boyfriend Oli Green , Victoria and David Beckham,  Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman, and Sofia Richie have also been spotted out an about.

Next on the travel list for the chic set is Capri for the UNICEF gala on July 30. Jennifer Lopez, currently on her honeymoon in Paris with Ben Affleck, is slated to perform, and Akiva is expected to host an after party.

The party commenced with a dinner at Akiva's, then at around 1:30 a.m, it moved to Swiss billionaire Bertarelli's $150 million, 315-foot yacht, Vava II.

The ritzy island was a place to be on New Year’s Eve. A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeff Bezos, Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra, Dua Lipa, and Drake partied at the new year bash of club king Richie Akiva, Ernesto Bertarelli, and Darren Dzienciol. Around 500 guests made the cut and were invited to the lavish party. According to a Page Six report, the party commenced with a dinner at Akiva’s, then at around 1:30 a.m, it moved to Swiss billionaire Bertarelli’s $150 million 315-foot yacht, Vava II. It is said that the party went on till 9 or 10 in the morning.

The stars were treated with a performance by rapper Meek Mill and Lil Baby. During Mill’s performance, Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin and internet star Jake Paul turned DJs for the night. Meek Mill is reportedly staying on Rubin’s yacht while in town.

Bezos, who posted a pic of himself with partner Lauren Sanchez, came in late following another bash. In the viral pictures, the Amazon founder was seen wearing heart-shaped sunglasses and a colourful button-down.

Sharing some glimpses from the party on Instagram, he urged his followers to "celebrate and grow". “We had so much fun last night celebrating with a crazy disco party with family, but the new year is also a great time to take stock and focus on personal growth, renewal, rebirth, and paying careful attention to each moment of your life,” he said in the caption of the post.

Take a look at the pics:

Shortly after his divorce with Mackenzie Scott was finalised, Bezos made his relationship with Sanchez, a TV host-turned-helicopter pilot, public in 2019. Ever since, the couple has not shied away from showing PDA.

Vava II: What makes the UK’s largest yacht an all-time great

  • Superyachts

The largest yacht ever built at a British yard, Vava II features beautiful exterior styling that makes her look sleek and elegant despite her length...

Despite her status as the largest superyacht ever built at a British yard, Vava II’s owner-inspired exterior styling by Redman Whiteley Dixon is not only beautiful but makes the yacht look balanced and sleek.

She’s mainly a yacht of straight lines – the plumb bow, the angle of the superstructure and transom aft to the water, the vertical windows forward – but the sudden kinks of the top deck are a devilish touch.

The interior is by Rémi Tessier. The yacht, refitted at Amels in 2015, has been a regular in cruising hotspots around the world – and she spent the summer of 2016 cruising the Mediterranean.

“Conceived as a ‘world travelling yacht’, Vava II has exceeded expectations in her extended travels to remote locations and such geographically diverse places as the Indian Ocean islands, Indonesia, Alaska, Polynesia, Patagonia and Antarctica, travelling more than 100,000 nautical miles in a little over four years since delivery,” says Captain Richard Bridge.

“The helicopter deck has been used extensively for the embarked Eurocopter AS350B3 for a mix of transfers, sightseeing, heli-skiing and fishing trips, as well as numerous scientific missions. It will shortly be strengthened to be able to operate the larger twin-engined EC 145 T2.

“The main-deck salon with its glass sliding wall opening to become a part of the main-deck aft pool area has proved extremely popular and gives an option of opening the whole indoor/outdoor area for events and parties.

Inset-Vava-II-yacht-feat-630x404

“Another area that has been used extensively is the expansive beach club – adding a large additional deck space, as well as a platform from which to operate the selection of tenders on board.

“The tender garages themselves have doubled as logistics platforms when operating in remote areas such as the Antarctic peninsula and during scientific missions in the Indian Ocean.”

Where is she now? Cruising privately.

Yachts Charted By Celebrities

Every summer, it’s not uncommon to see A-list celebrities cruising the Mediterranean, in the South of France, Ibiza or the Amalfi Coast. And in winter, celebrities soak up the sun in the Caribbean, in hotspots like St. Barts and the Exumas.

But which yachts do celebrities charter? We’ve counted down nine superyachts that have hosted celebrities. Here’s one commonality: Each yacht is opulent and well-appointed. Celebrities have good taste! These are 7 super yachts chartered by celebrities during the last two charter seasons:

Michael Jordan, O’Pari

Opari

Retired NBA legend Michael Jordan isn’t a stranger to the good life. Since retiring from professional basketball, he’s traveled the world and enjoyed a quieter life.

In 2021, Jordan was spotted cruising the Croatian coast aboard O’Pari. The 311-foot superyacht, built by Golden Yachts in 2020, is well-appointed inside and out. Featuring a wide range of luxury amenities, including an aft deck plunge pool and helipad, O’Pari is an oasis, with a spacious interior layout that includes 14 suites.

Drake Reportedly Partied It Up On A Yacht For NYE With Jake Paul & So Many Other Celebs

The year-end bash reportedly had 500 people in attendance.

Drake Reportedly Partied It Up On A Yacht For NYE With Jake Paul & So Many Other Celebs

Well, it looks like one famous Torontonian had fun on New Year's Eve, as Drake was spotted partying on a massive yacht.

According to Page Six , Drake rang in the new year with several celebrities in St. Barts. Some of the star-studded attendees apparently included Leonardo DiCaprio , Jeff Bezos, Dua Lipa, Mike Tyson, and Jake Paul.

The soiree was reportedly hosted by "club king" Richie Akiva, Ernesto Bertarelli, and Darren Dzienciol, and started with dinner but moved to a sprawling 315-foot, $150 million yacht called Vava II around 1:30 a.m.

Other guests also included Scott Disick, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, and Dixie D'Amelio. Meek Mill and Lil Baby performed for the A-list guests, according to Page Six.

As for how many people were there, well, it was apparently way more than what Ontario currently allows for indoor gatherings (which is currently capped at five people. )

A reported 500 guests were in attendance, and the year-end party went on well into New Year's Day, until 9 or 10 a.m., according to a Page Six source.

See on Instagram

A few days into 2022, Drake posted pictures of himself diving right into cerulean blue ocean waters and enjoying a tropical paradise with some friends.

TMZ reports, however, that the Toronto-based rapper flew out of St. Barts the day after the swanky New Year's Eve party, as he was spotted at the Gustaf III Airport in St. Jean, a small airport on the island.
