Alex Rodriguez is having a blast on his birthday tour.

Earlier this week, Rodriguez set sail on a European yacht trip to celebrate his upcoming 46th birthday. In new photos obtained by Page Six, the former MLB player was seen soaking up the sun and enjoying the water Friday off the coast of Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera alongside several bikini-clad women.

Rodriguez was photographed sliding down an inflatable waterslide off the yacht throughout the day and making a big splash each time he hit the water. The former Yankees player showed off his toned muscles by going shirtless.

At one point, he was seen chatting with one of the women aboard the luxury floater as she enjoyed a refreshing rinse in the outdoor shower.

This came just a day after he was spotted having lunch in Portofino, Italy, Thursday with friends and family at Splendido Mare hotel eatery DaV Mare, Page Six earlier reported, citing unnamed sources. The group then boarded a luxury yacht to head to Saint-Tropez.

Rodriguez's nephew Nick Silva, who works for his firm A-Rod Corp, shared a snap of their trip on his Instagram Stories. In the picture, Rodriguez can be seen sitting on a chair with another pal behind Silva.

"Euro trip 2k21!" Silva wrote in the caption.

According to Page Six's insiders, Rodriguez and his companions will be heading to Monte Carlo and Ibiza over the next few weeks. Aside from his birthday, which falls on Tuesday, he is also celebrating becoming one of the new owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

But one anonymous friend told the outlet that the trip isn't pure fun. Before meeting up with his friends and family for the yacht trip, Rodriguez "was in Europe for some business meetings," the source said.

Prior to his Europe getaway, Rodriguez rented a $5 million mansion in the Hamptons just a mile from ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez's $10 million estate, Page Six previously reported.

He was spotted dining with staffers from his company A-Rod Corp at Sag Harbor restaurant Le Bilboquet. The presence of a brunette woman during the dinner also sparked romance rumors.

"Alex had a long dinner on Friday with two women and his nephew Nick Silva. A very attractive brunette at his table turned some heads at the packed restaurant, with some wondering if she was Alex’s new girlfriend," an unnamed witness told the outlet.

However, other insiders told the outlet that the woman was Liz Cohen, a business development manager at A-Rod Corp and that they are not romantically involved.

Rodriguez is still single months after he and Lopez called off their two-year engagement in April. Meanwhile, Lopez rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck in May.
