They recently fled London and LA in favour of a getaway to their mother Slavica’s native country Croatia amid the coronavirus pandemic.
And Tamara and Petra Ecclestone continued to soak up the sun during their time abroad as they enjoyed a boat trip on their father Bernie’s yacht with their families on Sunday.
Tamara, 35, was joined by her husband Jay Rutland and their daughter Sophia, six, while Petra, 31, was accompanied by her fiancé Sam Palmer and her four children Lavinia, seven, James and Andrew, both five, and her baby daughter born this year.

The family looked in good spirits as they enjoyed a day on the 176ft yacht, named Petara, an amalgamation of Petra and Tamara’s names.
Tamara cut a casual figure for the day, donning a tie-dye T-shirt with light denim shorts and flip flops.
Styling her brunette locks into a ponytail, the heiress completed her look for the day with a pair of sunglasses.
Petra opted for an orange printed top with blue shorts while she let her blonde tresses fall loose down her shoulders.

Croatia has implemented a ‘no bans, just precautions’ policy amid the global crisis, which has claimed nearly 400,000 lives worldwide.
As the coronavirus crisis continues to throw travel plans into chaos, the sisters proved to be unaffected by the woes.
The sisters, who are famously close, opted to flee their native countries to head to the safer location which has seen low death tolls compared to other countries.

Last month, Krunoslav Capak, the director of Croatia’s Institute of Public Health, said there would be ‘no bans, just precautions’ on the country’s beaches, after Croatia reported 103 deaths overall as of Monday.
He said: ‘I will certainly go to the beach. I can’t wait. Lifeguards, local authorities and hoteliers will have to make sure that sun beds and towels are not too close together because the virus will still be present.’
The girls often discuss missing each other due to their transatlantic distance, so were no doubt happy to be united on the holiday.

Petra shares daughter Lavinia and twin boys Andrew and James with her ex-husband James Stunt, with whom she suffered an extremely acrimonious split, with their war of words raging on to this day.
Their divorce was finalised in October 2017, after six years of marriage. She has now found love with Sam, who is a friend of Jay’s, and who popped the question last January.
Sam has since revealed Petra’s kids call him dad, while the couple welcomed their own child – a baby girl – earlier this year.
Recruitment consultant Sam’s message read: ‘I have received lots of messages asking when the baby is due. We had a beautiful daughter a few weeks ago.

‘Thanks for all the messages. Mother and daughter are both very well. She is yet to see the world, but I’ve told her she will one day if she behaves.’
It appears that the announcement was spurred on by a selfie of the new parents, which was shared on Sam’s Instagram account hours earlier.
The couple were seen basking in the sunshine together in the garden as they observed the government guidelines on isolation amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The family have further happy news, as it was revealed that their father Bernie, 89, was expecting to be a father for a fourth time, as his wife Fabiana Flosi, 44, is expecting.
Their outing comes just days after it was revealed that virus passports and travel corridors could allow families to travel abroad this summer.

A quarantine regime will be introduced on June 8 requiring arrivals to the UK to self-isolate for 14 days.
But ministers hope to strike quarantine-free pacts or ‘air bridges with summer destinations – such as France, Spain and Greece – by August and possibly July.
They are also examining the idea of ‘Covid passports’ to let those who have had the disease travel more widely and without having to go into quarantine on their return.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said she is ‘absolutely open’ to the idea of air bridges between nations sparking fresh hope for Britons wanting to travel abroad in the summer months.

The new border regime will apply to almost all arrivals, including incoming Britons.
Rule breakers face an initial fine of £1,000. Further non-compliance could result in unlimited fines.
Limited quarantine exemptions will be allowed for truck drivers, seasonal fruit pickers and a small number of essential workers.
The ban is understood to have been opposed by multiple cabinet ministers, including transport Secretary Grant Shapps and business secretary Alok Sharma.

Ms Patel said: ‘When it comes to air bridges, look, I think we should be absolutely open to all ideas…
‘This is not for today, but this doesn’t mean we should rule this out in the future.’
Ms Patel said quarantine was vital to prevent new cases of coronavirus being brought in from abroad.
But the policy was criticised by the aviation and tourism sectors, the wider business community and even some Tory MPs.
