Leonardo DiCaprio and his 28-year-old girlfriend, Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, are baring it all during their Saint-Tropez yacht vacation.

Earlier this week, DiCaprio and Ceretti were seen with friends, Tommaso Buti and Laura Harrier, while enjoying a dip in the Mediterranean Sea. DiCaprio, 51, was seen shirtless on the back of the boat.
