Break away with On the Water

Online, May 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Cool down this bank holiday or half term and keep the kids entertained with a little help from www.onthewater.co.uk. Launched this year, the online portal has everything you need to explore the water and make the most of leisure time while school's out, whether you have just one day or a longer holiday to fill - there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Or, if you are looking further ahead to summer hols, why not shake up the summer and book a holiday exploring the water. There's a mass of information available on the different types of blissful boating holidays to help get you and your crew on the water and make the most of the great British sunshine!

Sailing Holidays
For a fix of fresh sea air or to get over the stresses of everyday life, head to the coast for a sailing holiday with options to include full crews to help along the way. From Cornwall to Scotland, travelling by sail boat gives a fantastic chance to experience panoramic views of the UK, stopping to explore on dry land whenever suits, or simply continue the escape to the open seas for some quality time with friends and family.

Boating Holidays
When a more relaxed approach appeals, make the most of what's set to be a barbecue summer by looking into hotel boat holidays, or hire your own barge or narrow boat to explore the inland waterways. Britain's canal network is more than 2,000 miles long and provides the perfect opportunity to see the stunning scenery of cities, towns and the countryside from a new perspective, at your own pace.

Activity Holidays
For groups and families that want to try more than just sailing, or maybe if you're just starting to dip your feet in the water, choose an activity holiday. Experience a variety of different sports from dinghy sailing to kayaking, waterskiing or exploring a reef, all whilst staying dry in waterside accommodation.

Visit www.onthewater.co.uk for more information on the different types of boating holidays from coastal to inland holidays, bareboat to beach club, self drive or hotel boat.
