Taking the kids on a thrilling boat ride to start off the new year, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber were spotted in St. Barts on Tuesday (January 1).

The "Impossible" star held tight to Sammy and Sasha in a lavender top and light fedora while her 45-year-old partner stood nearby in dark swim trunks as they whizzed along the water.

Recently, the 44-year-old actress was announced to be participating in the Palm Springs Film Festival's Talking Picture Series.

"The Impossible" will be shown on January 5th at the fest, with Naomi receiving the Desert Palm Achievement Award and participating in a discussion after the screening.
