Then it’s onto the water. Our boats have comfortable secure seating and the experience is suitable for all adventure seekers.
The Honda Formula 4-Stroke championship (HF4S) is the largest, most exciting offshore powerboat series in the world. Feel the speed and grace of this highly responsive racing machine.
During this experience the Driver (usually a current or past racer) heads into the Solent to show what the boat can do. Your one and half hours on board includes approximately 15 minutes of hands-on driving and tuition. You will also have the opportunity to test your skills on our offshore racing circuit. The boat operates within Southampton Water and extends into the Solent so bring a disposable camera. The boat is soft riding and the seating comfortable. Be prepared for the ride of your life!
