A fun packed introduction to the exciting sport of Powerboating. The full day experience varies slightly at each centre but will start with a briefing on land before learning low speed handling skills in sheltered water. In the afternoon, you'll be picking up speed and taking on the thrill of handling these power machines in more open water.

What's included

• Training from an experienced instructor as part of a small group (numbers vary between centres)
• Issue of safety and buoyancy equipment
• Hands on experience in RIB, ZapCat or Honda off-shore power boat, depending on location
• Allow a day for your visit - 5-7 hours approximately (locations vary)
• Experience gift pack including smart wallet, personalised voucher and message card
• PA cover to a value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity

What happens on the day

You will be greeted by your instructors and given a brief introduction to the safety aspects. After being kitted out with buoyancy aids and waterproof outer clothing, you will be given a demonstration of the controls etc and then hands on experience of driving the boat. Then you're in for some high speed thrills and skills when you take the boat out into more open water, in some instances out to sea! Return at the end of a fun day with a great sense of achievement. Each centre offers a slightly different agenda, so check when booking.
