Will Smith and Johnny Depp are enjoying some downtime together during their trip to Italy.
The actors, who are both taking part in Andrea Bocelli's three-day, star-studded concert lineup at the Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, Italy, spent some time together on a yacht with Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad.
In a photo shared on Instagram on Tuesday, July 12, Saad, 42, smiles from ear to ear while standing between Smith, 55, and Depp, 61.
"Great feeling to gather with friends Thanks my friends for the lovely visit @johnnydepp @willsmith @ismailmansour1#AhmedSaad #jonnydepp #willsmith," wrote Saad in the caption.

A source tells PEOPLE that Smith and Depp are "together en route to the Andrea Bocelli concert they're both performing at 'Gettin' Bocelli wid' it.'"
While Bocelli first announced that he would be hosting the special event Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration in April, Smith and Depp were not announced as part of the lineup until earlier in July.
