Rod Stewart bids farewell to his yacht’s crew in Croatia with wife Penny Lancaster

He’s been soaking up the sun on a luxury yacht with his family.

But Rod Stewart bid farewell to the crew who had been so attentive during his sunny break on Saturday, as he and wife Penny Lancaster docked in Croatia.

The music legend, 75, was in high spirits as he kissed the hand of a female crew member before exiting the boat, while Penny, 49, looked effortlessly stylish in a snakeskin shirt dress.

Rod displayed his distinct sense of style in a blue shirt and jeans as he said goodbye to the crew on his way off the lavish boat.

The Maggie May hitmaker kissed one of the staff’s hands before heading onto the land with his glamorous wife.

As ever Penny looked effortlessly stylish in a chic shirt dress and aviator sunglasses as they prepared to travel home following their lavish getaway. 

Rod and Penny’s yacht break may have been a delayed anniversary trip for the loved-up couple, who celebrated 13 years married last month. 

They celebrated their wedding anniversary and marked the occasion with a takeaway meal and a glass of wine in the back of their car. 

Earlier this year, Rod gushed that his wife Penny is ‘everything’ to him, as he reflected on their relationship. 

Rod explained that being with Penny made him learn ‘good manners’ which he also tries to instil on his children, while he feels he helped her gain ‘a lot of confidence’ during the course of their relationship.

Penny and Rod began dating in 1999 before marrying eight years later in the medieval monastery La Cervara in Portofino.

After their wedding on 16 June 2007, the couple enjoyed their honeymoon on the Lady Ann Magee yacht, which was moored in Portofino, and they share sons Alastair, 14, and Aiden, nine, together.
