  • A day out in a variety of high-performance racing powerboats

  • Organised by a world speed record-holder
  • Includes full briefing and all specialist equipment

You know how most James Bond films include at least one great chase down a river? This experience is your chance to have a go at driving the sorts of boats Bond uses (just without the hail of bullets). You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to the boats, and then have a two-hour session in the OSY Hydroplanes. Driven either kneeling or lying down, these are the go-karts of the powerboat world - small, fast and terrific fun. After a hot buffet lunch you'll receive a short briefing on the boats that you'll be driving in the afternoon. Then you'll be back on the water, trying out Formula 4 and 5 catamarans and T850 and T750 monohulls - all of which are race-prepared, high-performance single-seater boats powered by outboard engines. Finish the day with tea, and collect your certificate and souvenir T-shirt. The day is organised by a world speed record holder, so you'll be in excellent hands, Mr Bond.

Kingsbury, Warwickshire
