About

Experience the unique thrill of a high speed tour of the Solent in a genuine offshore powerboat. Hold on tight as your experienced instructor takes the boat to the limit, completing our offshore circuit. Your experience will begin with a safety briefing then put on the offshore racing jacket and life jacket you'll be given before joining the waiting Honda powerboat. After a short cruise down Southampton water, the driver will open up the throttle and you will fly across the waves into the Solent. This unique experience includes a demonstration of wave jumping, high speed cornering, racing lines and starts. Get two laps behind the wheel yourself out on the circuit to put what you've learnt from the instructor to the test (at the instructor's discretion) and see how good you are. The boat operates within Southampton Water and, weather permitting, out onto the Solent.
