Posh and decks! David Beckham trades £5million yacht for a £16MILLION upgrade ... trends now
He's perhaps better known for his achievements on the pitch, but former footballer David Beckham was making waves of a different kind on Monday.
The retired Manchester United and England midfielder was joined by wife Victoria as they relaxed aboard an enormous yacht off the coast of Miami on America's east coast.
The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, is a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest £5million yacht previously favoured by Beckham, 48, and his family.
Larger and more imposing than its predecessor, the new boat boasts three sprawling decks and masses of space to unwind.
It is unknown if the vessel is owned or chartered, however both have the single word Seven - a reference to Beckham's Manchester United and England squad number, and daughter Harper's middle name - emblazoned across the hull.

Taking advantage of its extra space, Beckham and his fashion designer wife, 49, were seen sunbathing as spring temperatures across the Gulf Coast continued to soar.
The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original £5million vessel 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 told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything.
'It’s not an oligarch-style super-yacht, but it’s still pretty plush by anyone’s standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water.
'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays
