At a time when so many of us are considering a staycation this summer, there is no better time to get kitted out and responsibly take to our UK waters.

Whether living by the coast or near inland waterways, a first timer or seasoned expert, the water offers something for everyone and all budgets to enjoy this summer, including paddleboarding, motor cruising, sailing, surfing, narrowboat cruising, and dinghy racing.
