Sir Rod Stewart hits the beach in St Barts with his wife Penny Lancaster, 53, and huge blended family as he continues his 80th birthday celebrations on $150m super yacht

Sir Rod Stewart continued to celebrate his 80th birthday in style as he hit the beach with his huge family in St Barts on Wednesday. 

The singer is on a no-expense-spared holiday on a $150million super yacht travelling around the Caribbean with his wife Penny Lancaster, 53, and seven of his eight children. 

After enjoying the sunshine in Barbados, the troop headed to St Barts and disembarked the luxury yacht to enjoy a day at the beach.

Rod, who has reportedly hired the boat for $3million, made the most of the sunny climes as he rocked a fedora hat, bright-yellow shirt and topped up his tan on the speedboat ride to the shore. 

Penny arrived on the beach in a black lace sheer dress and white T-shirt but soon stripped it off to showcase her figure in a cheetah-print swimsuit. 

The Loose Women panellist enjoyed a leisurely walk with Rod's daughter Ruby, 37. 

Ruby, whom Rod welcomed in 1987 with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg, slipped into a khaki bikini and rocked a black hat and sunglasses.  She is on the holiday with her partner Jake Kalic. 

During the beach day, Penny headed for a swim alongside her son Alastair, 19, Adam Sumner, who is the partner of Rod's daughter Renee, 32. 

Rod has eight children over 47 years by five different mothers. 

The crooner and Penny married in 2007 and have sons Alastair and Aiden Patrick, 14. 

Kimberly, 45, whose mother is Alana, has been sharing snaps from the lavish trip, including a picture of her daughter Delilah, 13, posing with Rod.

Her brother Sean, 44, is part of the party along with his girlfriend Julia Stambler. 

Liam, 30, and his wife Nicole Artukovich, who is expecting their second child, are also onboard. 

Nicole showcased her blossoming baby bump in a white bikini top and black shorts as she relaxed on the sand. 

Rod is also father to daughter Sarah Streeter, 60, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Susannah Boffey. Sarah doesn't appeared to have joined them on the trip.  

It comes after Rod assured fans he's 'not finished yet' as he marked his 80th birthday on Instagram. 

The iconic singer took to his Instagram Stories with a sweet post thanking his 'loyal and rowdy' supporters for their devotion over his 50-year career. 

He wrote: 'May I take this opportunity on this my 80th birthday to personally express my gratitude and thanks to all my loyal and rowdy fans all over the world, for helping give me such a wonderful life!'.

'In return I hope I've given you some memorable songs and lively concerts... I've not finished yet. Sir Rod'. 

Meanwhile, Penny shared  a tribute to her 'darling' alongside a photo of the sun-soaked Maggie May hitmaker.

'Happy birthday my darling, so blessed to be sharing this day together with all our kids. Building more memories to carry with us into the future and to be held close to out hearts forever, I love you'.

The legendary musician is currently enjoying a 10-day holiday onboard a $150 million super yacht in the Caribbean as he spends quality time with his big blended family to celebrate his milestone birthday. 

The luxury vessel, which reached St Barts on Tuesday morning, has a hefty crew, complete with three chefs ‘to take care of everyone’s dietary needs and restrictions’ as the famous family ‘hop across several islands’ in the Caribbean.

‘The holiday is costing Rod millions,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘He’s known to be a cheapskate but not this time. He flew everyone to Florida first class and has told them they won’t need to put their hands in their pockets for a thing. He’s covering their every whim.

‘The reason behind the trip is Rod feels it’s time to bring his family together for his big birthday. There have been battles between many of them over the years. The singer wants everything from now on to be harmonious.’

The family kicked off the early celebrations by paying homage to Rod’s beloved Celtic FC on Sunday.

Sean, Adam, Renee, Jake, Alastair, Aiden, Julia, Ruby, Liam, Nicole, Penny and Rod donned the green and white pic for a group family photo. 

Rod is no stranger to holidaying with his brood, having spent days onboard a luxury 197ft, £274,000-a-week yacht in Italy in summer 2022.

But insiders claim he wanted to ‘do it up big’ for his current celebratory adventure.

The Grammy Award winner chose the 288ft vessel which features nine suites for guests, as well as a beauty salon, a gym, a Hammam, a swimming pool and a helipad.

‘This trip meant so much to Rod,’ added a second source. ‘The whole family has come together and put any drama aside to really have a bonding experience. 

‘Being surrounded by so much love is invaluable to Rod. He wanted to do it up big for this one. 

'He could not have gone bigger.’
