While James stayed dressed, Kylie showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy black bikini.  

The couple were joined by a host of friends on the showstopping boat, which is owned by ‘Australia’s Richest Garbo’, Ian Malouf, who also hails from Sydney.

James covered up his frame while in the scorching sun, wearing a blue polo T-shirt and black shorts.

Shielding his eyes from the sun rays, the former media tycoon sported a pair of dark-lens sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Kylie chose to stay sun smart in designer shades and a white cap.

At one point, James took a dip in the ocean fully clothed.

When he boarded the boat again, Kylie dutifully greeted him with a fresh white towel.

The statuesque stunner appeared to keep dry on board, returning to upper decks via the stairs as James dried off.

The couple recently fuelled rumours of an engagement when Kylie  was spotted wearing a giant sparkler on her wedding finger during their loved-up sailing holiday.

Last week a spokesman denied the pair they were engaged, telling The Daily Telegraph: ‘Alas, not this time, at least for now.’

James also recently told the Private Sydney gossip column: ‘There’s nothing to announce… I give you my word I will tell you if there is something.’ 

If James does propose to Kylie, it will be his fourth engagement.

He has previously been engaged to Kate Fischer (now known as Tziporah Malkah), Jodhi Meares, Erica Baxter and Mariah Carey.
