Spanish term or phrase: active tourism at sea

Please, could you tell me if this reads well in English?

The original Spanish title is: Turismo Activo en el Mar.

It is the title that presents all the range of activities that a nautical sports resort offers.

Thank you.

Extensive watersports facilities

Explanation:
Full range of watersports and activities

Active watersports program

I definitely wouldn't 'at sea'.
All at sea can have very negative connotations (being totally clueless, lost...)

Nautical Tourist Activities

Explanation:
an alternative. I would actually skip the Tourist and just say: Maritime Activities, or Nautical Activities. It sounds better to me. Or perhaps Activities by the sea? Or simply Water Sports. Good luck! Reference below is about a nautical resort in Murcia with both Spanish and English text, maybe it could be useful for you.

water sports

Explanation:
this would include: sailing, windsurfing, waterskiing, boating, diving, para-sailing, snorkelling, water-polo etc.

You could also say: "marine activities", "marine recreation" or "on-the-water recreation".

I would definitely omit the 'tourism' and "at sea" means away from land, as a ship on a long passage, so it is not appropriate here. (Prepositions are difficult in any language)
