Briatore is a beneficiary of Autumn Sailing Ltd, which purchased the super yacht "Force Blue" from Home Shopping Network investor Roy Speer for £68.2m. She was given a refitted interior designed by Celeste dell'Anna and a blue exterior. The yacht was then chartered by a number of individuals including Briatore, who named it as the most extravagant present he had ever bought himself.

The Italian Supreme Court ruled that there were no issues with the seizure, though the yacht itself was released
