The Beckham clan seemed in high spirits as they enjoyed a day at sea on Wednesday during a family holiday in Sardinia.
David Beckham gathered his family on a mega yacht in Sardinia for daughter Harper's 13th birthday, with his brood making the most of the warm weather and trying out watersports.
The former footballer, 49, put his ripped figure on display as he went shirtless in a pair of lemon yellow swimming trunks before slipping on a life jacket to hop on a jet ski.
Jumping on behind him was Victoria, 50, who held on tightly to her husband as he rode the waves.
The Beckham matriarch sported a black swim skirt with her life jacket and accessorised with a baseball cap as she enjoyed the ride.

The Sardinian trip could possibly have been a double celebration, because Victoria and David had also just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
Going all out for the milestone, the loved-up pair slipped back into their now iconic wedding outfits for a fun Instagram snap.
The pair married at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 1999 in lavish ceremony which cost almost £1M.
Not only did the couple once again don their matching purple ensembles from the reception but also sat on their infamous gold thrones.
Ageless Victoria put on a very leggy display in the Antonio Berardi gown which boasted a floral ruffled neckline and daring split that she teamed with quirky heels.
Meanwhile David looked dapper in his suit complete with matching suede shoes and flashed a huge grin as he held his wife's hand.
The couple, who share four kids captioned the joint post: 'Look what we found'.
David previously joked about the look during a 2017 appearance on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs: 'I even had a top hat in purple, what was I thinking? I looked like the guys out of Dumb and Dumber.'

In the comments section David's mother Sandra gushed: '25yrs and you both still look amazing, special memories'.
While is younger sister Joanne wrote: 'Look as good now as you did back then, iconic'.
The Mail later revealed how the couple came up with the idea over drinks one night and asked their team to dig it out of storage as a 'gift to their loyal fans.'
One friend said: 'Victoria is laughing her head off, she keeps saying it’s a good job that the emoji wasn’t around back in 1999.
'She is finding the whole thing absolutely hilarious.'
Meanwhile, David was said to be 'aghast' at his purple suede shoes.
They were the last part of the outfit which the Beckhams found, and the footballer was said to be 'mortified' when he saw them.
'David was like "oh my God" when he saw them,' said the pal. 'Victoria’s shoes are so gorgeous but his are definitely one his fashion mistakes.
'He was mortified when he saw them all of these years later.'

Victoria showed a video of David breathing in to squeeze into his trousers morning, he excitedly said: ‘I’m in, I’m in!’
Then later in the video, the sound of material ripping could be heard as he continued to put on the rest of the suit.
Yet the former Spice Girl had no problems as she claimed the dress needed 'no alterations'.
Victoria wore a more reserved champagne Vera Wang gown for the ceremony, while the groom opted for a white suit.
During a 2021 appearance on Jimmy Fallon she said of the outfit change: 'It just seemed like a really good idea at the time, you know?
'It really did. I think it was a naiveté then, we didn't know about fashion.
She added: 'We were just having fun with it, which, to be honest with you, is kind of the way it should be.'
Sparing no expense for the big day back, the power couple hired Bentley's Entertainments, organisers of Elton John's birthday as well as Princess Anne's 40th, to mastermind the highly-publicized showbiz event.
Sadly, her eldest brother Brooklyn, 25, was seemingly unable to make the trip. He did, however, acknowledge his little sister with a sweet Instagram post
The Sardinian trip could possibly have been a double celebration, because Victoria and David had also just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary - slipping back into their wedding outfits to mark the occasion
Their picturesque Irish venue sat on 560 acres and dated back to the 18th century, with organizer Peregrine Armstrong-Jones telling OK! how 'Victoria wanted somewhere really private and unique, somewhere leafy and green'.
She had hired Simon Lycett, who worked on the 90s rom-com Four Weddings And A Funeral, to set up the floral arrangements - complete with fresh apples which had been pierced and dotted around the castle in order to discharge the scent of fruit.
David rocked up in a £230,000 Bentley Azure wearing a cream suit designed by Timothy Everett, Victoria sported a Vera Wang dress as she rode in style in a Bentley Arnage.
She commanded attention in a diamond-and-gold crown, which was custom-built by Slim Barrett who had previously crafted accessories for Princess Diana.
