IT could be any extended family enjoying a day out on the high seas, but instead this motley crew of mates includes an Aussie billionaire, a top-rating morning TV show host and his new shoe-designer girlfriend.

Today host Karl Stefanovic, 42, and his younger love Jasmine Yarbrough, 33, have been enjoying the company and hospitality of his best mate James Packer aboard the Crown boss’s luxury super vessel, the Arctic P, during a romantic break in Tahiti.

Packer is hosting the loved-up pair for a few days in Bora Bora, where the 87m converted icebreaker has been moored for the past two months.

Packer has been a close friend to Stefanovic, supporting the breakfast TV superstar as his marriage to Cass Thorburn unravelled.

Now that support includes providing a playground where Stefanovic and his new love can be reunited after months of secret meetings in a bid to evade the paparazzi.

The pair looked like they were relishing their South Pacific break as they whizzed around the vessel on jetskis.

A relaxed Packer was spotted holding court on deck with a small group of friends and an unknown female.

The same girl — a stunning brunette in a black bikini — was also spotted straddling a jetski alongside Yarbrough.

Later, Yarbrough looked right at home in the company of the billionaire and his mates, chatting to them over drinks on the vessel, which is kitted out with all the mod cons for an extended break at sea.

It’s a rare recent sighting of Packer, who hasn’t been seen much publicly since the end of his engagement to US singer Mariah Carey.

Carey confirmed the couple’s engagement came to an end during a holiday to Greece in September.

This is the second romantic trip Stefanovic and Yarbrough have taken together, after taking time off in April to holiday with her parents and brother in Cabo, Mexico.

Stefanovic performed a carefully orchestrated disappearing act from the Today set on Thursday, leaving the show midway to make the trip happen, then flying to Tahiti via New Zealand.

Yarbrough had arrived in the Pacific Ocean paradise a few days earlier, posting a picture of herself poolside on social media with the words “Nope ... Not Coming Home”.

Someone who will be coming home, though, is Stefanovic, who is expected to return to his hosting duties on Thursday morning.

Packer has a habit of using the warmer months to entertain his closest friends on the icebreaker and it’s believed he has hosted Stefanovic on board before.
