David Beckham is currently holidaying on Italy's Amalfi Coast with his family, with the Beckhams hiring out a luxury yacht to soak up the sunshine overseas. 

The former footballer, 46, was seen hitting the water with his daughter Harper, nine, on a jet ski on Thursday, letting the youngster take control as he sat behind her with his arms in the air.  

Their jet ski ride came days prior to David being quizzed by a police officer over his children using jet skis, as in Italy you must be over 18 to drive one and hold a license.

During their boat day, David was seen taking Harper out for a wild ride on the water, with the former England captain keeping a watchful eye on his daughter, as he let her take the reins at one point. 

Both David, who was rocking his newly bleached blond hair, and Harper were seen sporting life jackets while whizzing across the waves, with Harper holding onto her famous dad throughout the ride. 

As she gave steering the jet ski a go, David kept a protective arm around his daughter's waist - momentarily raising his arms out to the side while Harper drove.  

Harper was loving being out on the water and had a huge smile on her face and at one point was seen fist-pumping with one arm, as her dad gave them both a soaking while speeding along the open water.

David sported a stylish pair of shades for his day on the water and paraded around the yacht shirtless while donning red swim shorts. 

Showcasing his athletic frame as he sunbathed on board, David gave onlookers a look at his impressive tattoo collection. 

His body art covers his arms and torso, with David showcasing the huge 'Brooklyn' tattoo - in tribute to his eldest son - at the bottom of his back while kicking back on board.

The dad-of-four also has a number of inkings on his legs and is known for his meaningful designs that he's had etched onto his skin over the years to honour his loved ones, including the names of his wife Victoria and their children.

David and Victoria are parents to Brooklyn, 22, Romeo, 18, Cruz, 16, and Harper. 

He was joined onboard by Harper and his youngest son Cruz, who was seen jumping off the yacht with his little sister. 

While holidaying in Positano, David was reportedly quizzed by an Italian police officer over his children using jet skis. 

Cruz and Harper had both indulged in the water sport while out on the yacht, with an officer later approaching David and speaking with the sports star for around 45 minutes. 

In Italy, you must be over 18 to drive a jet ski and hold a license.
