Sylvester Stallone goes paddleboarding with gorgeously fit wife Jennifer Flavin during family cruise aboard luxury yacht in Cote D’Azur

He’s enjoying some well-deserved down time with his family before his latest blockbuster hits the big screen in November.

Sylvester Stallone is certainly treating the women in his life to a vacation of a lifetime, as they were pictured enjoying life aboard a very glamorous luxury yacht off the Cote d’Azur on Friday.

The Hollywood heavyweight is celebrating his 69th birthday with a lavish holiday with wife of 18 years, Jennifer Flavin, and their daughters Sophia, 18, Sistine, 17, and 13-year-old Scarlet Rose.

They were seen enjoying a water-sports session in the crystal Mediterranean waters off the French coast.

Earlier this week, Sly described his wife as his ‘amazing other half’ on Instagram and Jennifer, 46, reminded him why as she looked half her age showing off her toned figure in a teeny string bikini.

The beauty gave her movie star husband an eyeful as she climbed aboard a paddleboard, and enjoyed a gentle splash about before their daughters enjoyed a more exhilarating ride being towed behind a speed-boat.

The family have been exploring Europe aboard the lavish 114ft yacht which travels at around 12 knots, and sleeps ten guests in five staterooms.

The luxury vessel carries up to seven crew, as well as the guests, and comes with an on-deck jacuzzi and a wifi-connection on board.

Their day at sea in the South of France comes after an action packed week which has seen the family take in the delights of Venice and the upmarket harbour resort of Portofino in Italy.
