About

Both of you get ready for the wet and windy while speeding round the south coast in a powerboat that will completely blow you away. These boats are exhilarating and so fast that they can fly over the surface. After a safety briefing and quick change into your cool racing gear, it's straight out onto the water with an expert racer to put the boat through its paces while you hang on tight. After a demonstration of wave jumping, high speed cornering and racing lines, it's time for you to fly solo and take the wheel. The boat operates within Southampton Water and, weather permitting, out onto the Solent.

Key Info

Availability: All bookings must be taken between Mondays and Fridays during May and June 2010. If a booking has not been made by this date, valid vouchers can be exchanged for alternative experiences or the value can be banked to your Red Letter Days account as credit.
Participant Guidelines: Minimum age is 12 but under 18's must be accompanied by an adult. Min height is 5'. Maximum weight is 17 stone. This experience isn't suitable for anyone with a serious back or heart complaint or for pregnant women.
Weather: Powerboating is a weather-dependent activity. It's essential that you call the venue for a weather check between 5pm and 7pm on the day before your experience to check weather conditions.
Duration: This experience lasts for two hours including a safety briefing, one and a half hours on the water with 15 minutes driving time, and a debrief. Please arrive 30 minutes early to get ready, as the boat can't wait for latecomers.
Numbers On Day: The two of you will share your experience with others as there will be up to four people on board.
Spectators: Spectators are welcome to wave you off from the shore. Tell them to bring a camera and a pair of binoculars.
Dress Code: Dress warmly and bring waterproofs and a change of clothes. Bear in mind that there is a high wind-chill factor aboard the boat. Wear non-slip shoes (e.g. trainers or deck shoes). An old pair of sunglasses/ski goggles will be useful if it is windy.
Other Info: If you're planning to stay overnight the venue will be happy to provide information about local accommodation, and they can often secure preferred rates.
