Indulge your Aquatic side As the weather hots up and Britain’s countryside starts to wilt, daydreaming about translucent waters and crashing waves is likely to become a national hobby. Beach holidays are fantastic for sunbathing and a quick dip, but for those with a real love of life on the ocean wave, a watersports break is a must. Flight Centre’s travel specialists have put together deals to float a variety of boats, with holidays for everyone from diving enthusiasts to wannabe surfers.

To book any of these holidays, visit flightcentre.co.uk.
