Will Smith and Johnny Depp are enjoying some downtime together during their trip to Europe.

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.

The post also included an additional image of the trio posing with a larger group on board.

A source tells PEOPLE that Smith and Depp are "together en route to the Andrea Bocelli concert they’re both performing at."

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.

"It makes us proud to be able to host this pyrotechnic artist, acclaimed actor, producer, and musician," his statement added.

The announcement came days after Depp officially became part of the lineup on Wednesday, July 3.

“A disarmingly charming actor who has brought countless iconic characters to life on the big screen, this eclectic artist's musical talents are equally intense: a bona fide rockstar loved and applauded everywhere," Bocelli wrote in his announcement of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
