The world’s largest yacht, named Icon of the Seas, was launched by Messi himself.
This is a cooperation project between Inter Miami and cruise operator Royal Caribbean International, the shirt sponsor for Messi’s team. This company’s logo will appear on the front of Inter Miami’s away jersey for the 2024 season.
Messi and his teammates were all present at the launching ceremony taking place at Miami port. The Argentinian star was the main character of the ceremony when he placed a ball on the podium, starting the ceremony of breaking a champagne bottle at the tip of the ship’s bow.
