If You Love Speed And Water Then This Is For You
The sheer speed and ability of these boats is awesome. I have never turned direction on water so fast. I've been on experiences before but this was brilliant - I must do this again or even buy my own boat!! It was that good... if you get the opportunity then you must do it. The chance to drive and feel the power and agility was out of this world. If you can't get it as a present then buy it for yourself!!
Good weather, reasonably high seas and the real adrenalin rush of wedging yourself in a ZapCat and then hanging on as the driver performs numerous twists and turns across, over, under and often above the waves! Loved the 'air time' as it was termed, and loved the 'long and flat' too. Even being in the accompanying safety boat was a buzz, that could really come down the other side of a big wave with a thud! Thoroughly enjoyable, if you are thinking of doing this, and are in good shape, DO IT!
Exhilarating - Hold On For Dear Life - Amazing
The zapcat drivers were calm and professional and in the briefing they made it clear we could get a dunking if we did not hold on - and they were right. The G forces were huge and the bumps were - well - quite frightening! However we were encouraged to pilot the zapcat at full throttle round the tightest bends round the timed course and it worked. A great confidence builder and although I say so myself a pretty fast time for a 65 year old!
Awesome, Theme Parks Don't Even Come Close To This
WOW, this was breath taking, screaming, thrill seeking, speed demon fantastic.
One For The True Speed Junkie
The instructors were great, explaining everything from how not to fall out to how to drive and race to get the fastest speeds. It was a lot more physical than I expected - the guys really show you what the boats can do before you get the chance to drive (if the water's calm enough) so you really need to hold on :) - and if (or more likely... when) I go again, I'd definitely be taking goggles to stop getting so much salt water in my eyes! Overall it was an amazing experience, I felt safe with the team throughout and really felt they knew exactly what they were doing, so I was free to just have fun and enjoy the speed, jumps through the wake of the support boat, the driving experience and even the soaking from the seaspray!
Brings New Meaning To The Word Extreme!
I had never heard of Zap or Thunder Cats before this experience and I have to say it is something I will not be forgetting any time soon. The speed, power and sheer insanity of the Cats made it one of the most memorable times I have had on the high seas.
Zapping Adventure On The Seas!
Highly exciting, adrenaline filled activity. The zapcat is a must for speed fans. Rushing across the waves and becoming airborne is a fantastic feeling. I was looked after every step of the way by the professional staff. Wonderful present, fantastic and memorable experience.
What An Awesome Experience!!!!!
The staff were fantastic, helpful and informative. After changing into the full wet suits (which made me look slimmer than usual) we had a good safety briefing and then it was on to the support boat and out of the marina ... wow what a piece of kit the support boat was - top speed of 50 knots and it was jaw dropping ... then two by two we transfered to the Zapcats and I have never experienced such acceleration and G forces on such a small craft - the turns, the jumps and the pure speed (topping out at 35 knots and 3 inches from the sea surface). I can only recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves the sense of speed and the thrill of a real adrenaline rush. My best day out for ages and I will, without a doubt, be back!
Right from the start, all the necessary info was included in the confirmation letter. The reception was warm, friendly and relaxed. Staff were courteous, which also made me feel more than welcome.The training was short, yet precise and thorough. The rides themselves were exhilarating, fun, and gave me a good indication of how unfit I really was (will have to do something about this!) The zapcat skippers were very professional and always concerned for the crew's wellbeing, which was comforting. I will certainly recommend a day out on the zapcat to my friends and colleagues. Thank you ever so much for a superb day!
Don't know if my sides are aching so much due to none stop laughing or trying desperately to hold on! Wasn't sure what to expect but had a fantastic time from start to finish. Would recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure.
60 Miles An Hour In The English Channel!
Wow. What a great 2 hours. No wimps allowed. A brilliant high for you adrenaline junkies. Your arms, neck and abs take a pounding. Didn't expect to go on the Zapcat and spend some of the time actually airborne!! 60 miles an hour in the English Channel. Yes!
Great Teachers, Great Adventure, Great Day
The highlight of the day for me wasn't the boats, I always expected that to be exhilarating; it was the way that the 3 lads ran the day. Their enthusiasm sparked the rest of us, they made sure everyone felt confident ... 10 smiling faces, no-one could have been disappointed ... such a great day!
Great Day That I'll Never Forget
Very friendly and helpful staff and the ride of my life made it a day never to forget!
What fun!! I want one!! The instructors were great, showing what these incredible little craft can do, and then after a couple of rides clinging on for dear life as passengers, we were allowed to have a go at driving - or rather, turning the throttle and hoping for the best! There were eleven of us, which was just right as we all had 4 or 5 goes within the couple of hours we were out on the water. All in all a very exciting and thrilling waste of an afternoon!!!
Brilliant And Exhilarating Experience
Brilliant and exhilarating experience, perfect and very choppy sea condtions, making it even more fun if that were possible. Very well run event by very competent and friendly instructors, loved every minute.
One Of My Best Days Ever!
I had an excellent day, the organisation, set-up and above all the instructors were excellent. The instructors - and the experience itself - made for what was a truly remarkable day that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Wow! The Best Way To Spend A Few Hours!!
Not so much as 'took my breath away', but sucked the life out of me and 5 seconds later, did it again and again. What an adrenaline rush. Great surroundings, great people and straight into the action. Highly recommended.
Great Fun With Huge Waves!!!!
Really great day, waves were at least 10 ft high and going over them was great fun. Speed was brilliant and an all round great day.
Seriously Good Fun. What A Great Present!
Well organised and no waiting around, just loads of excellent fun. Obviously great weather helped!
Had a really good day. The adrenaline rush is palpable. I would have preferred the availablility of goggles though - I might have been able to see a bit more rather than having to look away all the time! On the whole, excellent fun!
Great experience, good team running the day, easy to find, and very helpful. For something more bouncy than a bouncy castle, Zap Cat powerboating has to be the thing, enjoy.
This is the best extreme activity I have done and I have done quite a few, the people at lagoon in Brighton were great and made it a great day.
We had a great time thank you.
Excellent day. The instructors were fantastic, friendly and helpful.
The whole experience was very good from the receipt of the gift to the online booking and the organisation of the day.
A totally brilliant experience supported by knowledgeable and friendly staff. I would like to thank you and your team for one of the most exhilarating days that I've had in a long time. Cheers.
