<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Hugs: Movie star Aaron shared a hug with Elton’s son\u00a0Zachary, 12<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Aaron showed off his buff physique in a white shirt which he wore unbuttoned and teamed with smart tan chinos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wife Sam shielded her eyes behind shades and put on a leggy display in black cut off denim shorts and layered a yellow top over her swimsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Comedian David also displayed his bare chest in the sunshine in an unbuttoned black shirt as he was seen\u00a0arriving alongside the fellow guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The vessel sleeps 18 guests in eight lavish bedrooms, each with its own en suite with a 12 strong crew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It also boasts a whopping 50-inch plasma screen TV, library, as well as a top of the range gym.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elton is clearly making the most of his retirement from touring following his final show of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour in July.<\/p>\n
The tour, which began in 2018, was a resounding success for Elton and grossed $816,840,988 worldwide.<\/p>\n
The star has chosen to hang up his boots, citing a desire to spend more time with David and their kids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Comedy gold: David Walliams (L) also joined in on the fun\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Close behind: He then followed a member of his entourage\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘Touring is exhausting for me now, and it takes me away from my family and my children.’<\/p>\n
However, Elton added that he hasn’t given up performing for good and will likely still play ‘the odd show’ every now and then.<\/p>\n
Family is important to Elton who previously called his sons ‘the greatest thing’ in he and husband David’s lives.<\/p>\n
Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016, he said: ‘If you’d had said to me ten years ago I’d be sitting on your show married to the man I love and have two beautiful children I would have said, “You put acid in my drink.”<\/p>\n
‘But life throws you challenges and life throws you curveballs \u2014 great curveballs \u2014 and these two children have come along at a time I never thought I’d have children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thanks! Aaron shook hands with the crew as he was welcomed on board\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There’s no words to describe how much we love these boys. They’re just amazing.’<\/p>\n
On his 75th birthday, Elton wrote a letter to his sons published in Time magazine where he called them his ‘proudest achievements’.<\/p>\n
He wrote: ‘Zachary and Elijah, you two are the greatest gifts I have ever been given<\/p>\n
‘You have filled my heart with love and my life with purpose and meaning in ways I didn’t think were possible.<\/p>\n
‘You are my proudest achievements, and I love you both so, so much … Whoever you grow up to be, just be you \u2014 fully and completely you.’<\/p>\n
