If you have ever seen a hovercraft flying, you will have wished that you could have a go - now you can!
Flying a foot off the ground, our Flying Fish Snapper hovercraft are easy to drive, and exhilarating enough for hardened thrill seekers!
During the event each participant will receive full tuition on how to fly our hovercraft before progressing to a large course to put the machine through its paces, experiencing the excitement of power sliding around the corners at high speed!
Adventure Sports offer hour-long experience sessions that are suitable for groups of between two and six people.
Hovercraft use a cushion of air to float above the ground.
Our single seater Snapper craft use a large fan, powered by a 28 hp four-stroke Briggs and Stratton Vanguard petrol engine, to draw in air and force it underneath the body of the machine. This air is retained by a 'skirt' made from a tough nylon material that allows the whole craft to fly one foot above the ground. The fan also propels the hovercraft forward at speeds of up to 25 mph.
