A leopard’s coat has indelible markings. And neither do Simon Cowell and his personal yachts!

The television actor was photographed enjoying the sun in Ibiza on board his beloved superyacht, the sleek and silver Slipstream, with his lovely infant son Eric and baby mother Lauren Silverman.

He recently wrapped up filming in the UK for the upcoming season of The X-Factor, but it is clear that he took some time off to unwind in the pleasant weather off the coast of Spain.

While on vacation on the island of Formentera, the multimillionaire, who is 55 years old, displayed his skills on a jet ski.

The CMN Yachts superyacht Slipstream is a 197-foot (60-meter) custom-made vessel that was constructed in 2009. It was outfitted with a fabulous on-deck Jacuzzi and gym, and it has space for up to 12 guests in addition to 15 crew members.

The interior design is likewise incredibly sophisticated, with a master suite straight out of a five-star hotel and a sitting area straight out of a hotel lobby. There is also a fantastic dining area with a view of the water. Amazing, as Simon would say.

The whole thing will cost approximately €329,000 per week plus expenses, according to a leading yacht charter website.

In the interim, viewers have been growing more enthusiastic about the new format of the show ever since a teaser trailer for the redesigned X Factor became available online a week ago.

Following the decision to reintroduce Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as a judge last year, the show’s executive producer has completely revamped the panel of judges this year by bringing in pop star Rita Ora and DJ Nick Grimshaw from BBC Radio 1 to replace Louis Walsh, who stepped down from his position on the panel after 11 years.

Simon revealed his desire to “get back to the talent” in a recent interview with Hello! Magazine, saying he was “bored with all the fights” between the judges. That’s fantastic news!
