Description
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 powerboat. 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.

FAQ
Q: How long do I have to use the voucher?
A: The voucher is valid for 9 months and you must take your experience before it expires. (Please note that this is not applicable to Options Vouchers: for these, you simply have to select your chosen experience within the nine months of voucher validity, you will then receive an experience-specific voucher with nine months validity).
Q: Can I exchange my voucher?
A: You can exchange your voucher for another experience, but only if you haven’t previously extended or exchanged it. We are also not able to exchange your voucher once you have made a booking with one of our suppliers or if your voucher has expired. Please note that vouchers may only be exchanged once.
Q: Can I extend my voucher?
A: Yes, you can extend the voucher for another nine months for an administration charge of £20.00.
Q: How do I book my experience?
A: We will provide you with the exact locations and contact information of our centres once you have purchased the experience voucher(s). For most of our experiences you will book directly with the centres.
Q: Are there any restrictions on taking part in the experiences?
A: Some of our experiences (typically driving or flying experiences) have weight or height restrictions, which are usually dictated by the vehicle or aircraft in which the experience will take place. Others may have an age restriction for insurance or legal reasons (but don't worry, we have lots of ‘Junior Friendly’ products so small people needn’t miss out). Some of our driving experiences may also require a full UK or EU driving license. The majority of our experiences require you to be in a reasonable state of health and fitness, some (such as Tandem Skydive, Parachute Jump and Scuba Diving) require more detailed medical information. If you are in any doubt about your ability to take part in any of our experiences, please contact the centre directly and check before making your booking. Alternatively, our Customer Services team will be happy to advise you on the suitability of experiences.
Q: How can I find out more about the experiences?
A: Contact our Customer Services team on 0845 643 1082. They will be happy to advise you about availability, restrictions etc, or simply to provide more details about the experiences.
Q: What if I am not happy with my experience?
A: If for any reason you are unhappy with any aspect of your experience, you should bring it to the attention of the supplier on the day so that they have the opportunity to resolve it immediately. If you are still unhappy, however, please write to us explaining the circumstances, and we will undertake to investigate it further for you.
