(NEVER SEEN BEFORE) The Beatles live the high life on Miami speedboat in previously unseen photos from their 1964 tour

The Beatles live the high life on Miami speedboat in previously unseen photos from their 1964 tour

The Beatles have been pictured living the high life in Miami on a 23-foot speedboat during their whirlwind February 1964 tour in rare, previously unseen images.
The ‘Fab Four’ – Paul, Ringo, John, and George – were seen taking a joyride on a Formula 233 speedboat driven by Dan Aronow in Miami, Florida, six decades ago.
Iconic drummer Ringo is pictured riding the boat with ease – dressed in his swimsuit, dark spandex, and a white Cuban shirt. In another, he is holding a fishing reel.
In another picture, legendary guitarist John Lennon is seen enjoying his leisure time while dressed in black shades, a white shirt with loafers seated near the boat’s bow.
A photo of the group shows Paul McCartney, the band’s bass guitarist, with a towel wrapped around his shoulders, standing nearby George Harrison.

Dan Aronow’s son Michael, who was a young boy at the time, is pictured with the band members on ‘The Cigarette.’
Tampa’s Bob DiNesco, who now owns the refurbished 233 Formula along with his brother and father, previously told the Tampa Bay News: ‘I don’t think the Beatles knew what they were in for.’
He added: ‘John, Paul and George got a little seasick. But Ringo, he had the time of his life.’
Aronow was a millionaire sportsman, and speedboat designer who designed and built, raced, and sold fast boats.
But his life ended tragically when he was murdered in 1987 in the parking lot of his factory that sent shockwaves through the Miami community.

Those who knew him described him as someone with an ‘outsized personality’ who could have been a recurring character on the popular show, ‘Miami Vice.’
Just last week, never-before-seen candid photos of The Beatles on their first flight to the US, the official beginning of what the world would soon know as ‘Beatlemania,’ were revealed.
John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr had no idea that their lives would change forever once they stepped off that very plane in New York and went on to crack America.
Alongside the 10 black and white snaps is a Pan Am flight menu, signed by the band.
The images were taken at a monumental time in their career, just before Beatlemania exploded in the US following their performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Flying first class from London to New York on February 7, 1964, they were set to perform on the hugely popular US show two days later – a pivotal moment that catapulted them into international stardom.

These previously hidden images were taken by American businessman Robert Kinderman, who was also in first class, and whose teenager daughter Carol was a huge Beatles fan.
He approached the band, who signed the flight menu for him while also posing for pictures.
While most of the 10 images are blurry, there is a clear snap showing John Lennon say with his first wife Cynthia.
