Overview
Experience the unique thrill of a high-speed tour of the Solent in a genuine offshore powerboat. Hold on tight as a seasoned instructor takes the boat to the limit, completing a challenging offshore circuit. After a short cruise down Southampton water, the driver opens up the throttle to fly out into Solent waters. This unique gift experience includes a demonstration of wave jumping, high-speed cornering, racing lines and starts. Get two laps behind the wheel out on the circuit (at the instructor's discretion) and push those newfound powerboating skills to the limit. The boat operates within Southampton water and, weather permitting, out in the Solent on this truly unforgettable day out.
