As Jack Dawson, Leonardo DiCaprio may have ditched the ship RMS Titanic, but the Hollywood A-lister seems to be having major trouble doing the same in real life. This infatuation of the climate champion with the floating emission machine makes even lesser sense than his not dating any woman over 25. Not only did the Revenant star charter the $190 million Vava II on his Italian vacation, the actor’s climate activism took a tremendous backset.
As per German daily Bild, adding insult to injury was another climate faux pas when Leonardo and his band of supermodel friends took helicopter rides for several visits to the port of Santorini for lunch, dinner, or dancing the night away in the company of model Neelam Kaur Gill and Bianca Balti.
Per Politico, Leo was voted America’s most trusted prominent authority on climate change and other environmental issues. Even ahead of Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, Joe Biden, and Bill Gates.
Interestingly, the fully-custom superyacht of billionaire entrepreneur Ernesto Bertarelli has become a regular venue for DiCaprio’s soirees. He was seen aboard the luxury boat for New Year’s Eve 2021 and was spotted on it again in the company of Tristan Thompson in the summer of 2022.
Earlier this year, the 48-year-old rang in the New Year with his rumored new love interest, model Victoria Lamas and in less than six months is back on the luxurious 318-footer. Read on to learn what makes the Vava II yacht such a great pull for him-
$190 million Vava II superyacht exudes va-va-voom-
Currently docked in Santorini, the 318-footer of Swiss-Italian billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli flaunts exterior design by Redman Whitely Dixon and interiors by Remi Tessier. With an interior volume of 3,930 GT, the ship sleeps 36 guests and offers plenty of amenities to enjoy on vacation. The six-decker features include a swimming pool, a beauty salon, an expansive beach club, and a well-equipped gym.
Vava II carries an Airbus H145 helicopter. The helicopter has a list price of $ 8.5 million. Four MTU engines power the motor yacht lending her a top speed of 19 knots.
Leonardo DiCaprio, the yacht-loving and jet setting eco-warrior-
Yes, he does his bit for the environment and then, in one holiday, vetoes his work. In less than a week, Luxurylauches reported Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos donated a whopping $200 million to protect the Amazon. In nearly ten days, Leo was back in the news for his uninhibited chopper use like there was no tomorrow to grab a bite on his Italian break. Netizens and prominent people haven’t shied away from calling out his duplicitous behavior. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro termed Di Caprio, an eco-hypocrite and asked him to stop partying on luxury yachts before lecturing the planet on environmental issues.
