Fresh from his final international appearance for the Argentina national team, football superstar Lionel Messi has ordered an ULTIMA 88 luxury yacht from Sunreef Yachts, adding another impressive vessel to his luxury collection.

Measuring 28.4 metres (93 feet) in length, the yacht is being built at Sunreef Yachts’ shipyard in Ras Al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. When completed, the luxury vessel will join Messi’s MIM Ocean fleet, which is based in the Balearic Islands.

“The yacht will join the MiM Ocean fleet, based in the Balearic Islands, offering guests an exclusive experience at sea. Welcome to the House of Sunreef, @leomessi,” the company added.

Although the purchase price and delivery date of Messi’s vessel have not been disclosed, the ULTIMA 88—a high-performance power catamaran—typically costs between $8.6 million and more than $10.7 million, depending on its custom specifications.

Depending on the configuration, the yacht can be equipped with two 1,000-horsepower engines or an advanced hybrid powertrain that allows for quiet electric cruising. It has a claimed cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of up to 26 knots.

One of its standout features is the Ocean Lounge, an expansive waterside relaxation area created by opening the yacht’s fold-out side platforms. The design brings guests closer to the water, creating additional space for swimming, sunbathing and enjoying the surrounding scenery.

The yacht also features a spacious flybridge with panoramic views, sunbathing areas and outdoor dining space. At the stern, a large bathing platform provides convenient access to the sea, while a garage can accommodate a jet ski and other water toys.

Inside, the ULTIMA 88 features contemporary furnishings, large windows and an open-plan saloon. Its accommodation layout provides private spaces for the owner and guests, with capacity depending on the final configuration.
