The Experience
Piloting a solo hovercraft is genuinely like nothing else you’ve ever experienced! If you can imagine sliding on ice in a craft which is part jet ski, part boat and part air plane, (and with no brakes!) you’re close! Our Flying Fish F25 single-seater Hovercraft fly across land and water on a cushion of air created and powered by a large fan mounted behind the pilot! Our hovercrafting course takes full advantage of our stunningly beautiful lakeside location and comprises a grass section leading you out onto the water before turning back to land again – the unique sensation of transition from open water to grass at full speed is scarily good!
After instruction you will take the controls as pilot, flying solo for 5 practice laps, followed by a second session of a minimum 10 laps racing against the clock. Our experienced instructors will offer ongoing advice as you master the craft and gain speed. A final will round off the event with a bottle of bubbly for the winner. This is an extreme experience, and not for the faint hearted!
