  • This Ultimate Powerboat day at a specially reduced rate
  • Step aboard both Honda and Hypercat powerboats
  • They're some of the fastest production and most exciting craft in the world today
  • If you're good enough, take the controls yourself under supervision

Blow away the cobwebs with avengeance with a full-on day powerboating around the English South coast. You start with a safety briefing and introduction to both Honda and Hypercat boats. After you have changed into your safety gear and racing team kit, head out onto the water with an expert driver in a Honda Formula 4-Stroke (HF4S) championship boat - surely one of the most exciting offshore powerboat series in the world. Your expert driver (usually a current or veteran racer) will put the boat through her paces while you hang on tight. You'll get tuition in how to handle the boat and about 15 minutes of hands-on driving (at the skipper's discretion). Break for lunch (not included) and prepare to go back on the water to whizz round in a Suzuki Hypercat, one of the fastest production powerboats going. Learn how to control the boat at speeds up to 60mph, then as you head out into open water there's an opportunity to have a go at driving. The perfect combination for a thrilling day!

Location:

Southampton, Hampshire
