A large boat full of naked people will set sail around the British coast this summer.
The Torbay Sun Club's annual clothes-free cruise is returning for an eleventh year on August 4.
One hundred marine enthusiasts and trouser-opponents will set sail from Exmouth Docks on a large party-boat from Stuart Lines Cruises, Devon Live reported.
For the low price of £22 you can bag yourself a place among their number, as well as a welcome drink and pasty.
The garments-off jamboree will see around 100 like minded people dancing, relaxing and socialising as the ship makes it way around the coast.
It is one of several events planned this summer by naturists in the area, with a skinny dip at Topsham Pool near Exeter scheduled for July 29.
The nude cruise will leave Exmouth at around 7pm before heading up the River Exe to Topsham and back again.
"The river provides spectacular views of the Exe Estuary and surrounding countryside," a message on the cruise website reads.
"The Boat has an undercover area with a fully licensed bar (cash only) and a viewing deck upstairs. Boarding from 6.45 pm sharp at Exmouth Docks and setting sail at 7pm.
"This is a hugely popular evening with a welcome drink and a pasty included in the ticket price.
"Live entertainment from the ever popular Crystal now back with us due to public demand.
"There's even a raffle! The trip offers terrific company with every chance of blazing sunshine.
"Enjoy the evening clothes-free amongst a group of approximately 100 like minded people some of whom will have been enjoying this lifestyle for years and others who are trying it for the first time.
"If you are new to naturism, this is a terrific enclosed supportive environment, so please give it a go."
Back in 2021, one diner at a restaurant in Exmouth shared their surprise upon seeing the nude cruise as it passed him during an evening meal.
John Wood, of Seawood Yachts, was tucking into a dish with his wife at the River Exe Cafe, a boat restaurant moored on the Exe Estuary.
Suddenly the nude cruise ship passed by, showing its passengers in all their glory.
He said at the time: “My wife and I were having a lovely anniversary dinner at the River Exe cafe when we caught sight of a boat full of naked people travelling slowly.
"(The) reaction in the restaurant was mostly of amusement, and concern for their health as the wind was getting up. Luckily that was the only thing that was."
Tickets to the cruise are available on Torbay Sun Club's website.
In the past few years naturism has enjoyed a renaissance in the UK, with many people converting to the cause in their gardens during the lockdown.
In Germany the pastime of whipping off your clothes and embracing the day has been an integral part of the culture for decades, and is known as Freikoerperkultur, or 'free body culture'.
It is therefore not overly surprising that what is arguably the pinnacle of European naturism is to be found in Germany's capital.
Vabali Spa in Berlin promises to offer "a peaceful space to reunite body, soul and spirit"; one that will "leave a lasting impression".
It was opened in 2014 by Markus and Stephan Theune, who have been running wellness and spa facilities for more than 30 years, and boasts spectacular grounds, breathtaking architecture and "countless authentic Balinese touches inside and out", all of which contribute to the overall charm.
Sarah Rast, Head of Marketing at Vabali, told The Mirror that the spa's main mission is to ensure there's a welcoming atmosphere.
She told the Mirror that this is the staff's 'main task', with around 200 employees working to that end.
"The special experience of our guests is the focus of our daily activities," Sarah said.
It seems to be working too, as the spa has become popular with the city's young population on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when crowds flock out of Berlin's clubs looking for a place to relax and sweat the previous night's excesses away.
In fact, the brand's core mission is "creating a trusting and appreciative environment for guests and employees alike".
The spa uses all-natural materials for treatments and rituals, with sustainability playing a key role in its ethos too.
