It's all about the hovercraft in Leicester with our one to one & shared sessions spent learning how to fly these mad machines! Once you've got the the hang of the basics you will be jettisoning around the purpose built course near Market Harborough whooping with delight! Cruising above the mud is great fun in a hovercraft. We definitely recommend bringing a pair of waterproofs to protect you from what the experts call 'splash back' caused by the air-cushion vehicle floating just a few inches above the ground & making mud dirt & water fly everywhere. To pilot these unusual craft you'll be perched in a kneeling position so that you can use your weight to shift & control where you're going. As well as needing a good sense of balance there's judgement & a good dose of forward thinking required. That's because there's just a throttle & rudder but no brakes so expect adventures abound when it comes to trying to slow down or stop. Of course you won't be just let loose on... ...

Watch out there'll be some serious flying fun on water with our hovercrafting in Bedfordshire! Situated on the Wyboston Lakes its enjoyment factor 10 as you cruise over the lake on these one to one sessions. Being at the helm of a racing hovercraft as you skim the water is guaranteed to give the wow factor & miles of smiles! What's more there's no hanging around waiting your turn at this Bedfordshire centre as the hovercrafting time is allotted just for you. First you will learn the basics including accelerating & stopping the craft (useful to know considering there are no brakes). Then there's how to pilot the vehicle with the handlebars & shifting your body weight to help manoeuvre. Once that's all been covered by this Bedfordshire team it's time to fire up the fan & go hovercrafting in style starting off by pulling some 360's on land to get used to the controls before you take full advantage of the craft's amphibious quality & hit the water. What makes this hovercraft venue near St Neots in Bedfordshire unique is the water. Far from being simply a watersplash obstacle this is a full-sized lake. That means you'll have serious room to glide & manoeuvre for that floating sensation as you literally skim the water. It's possible to accelerate to high speeds drifting sideway at up to 40mph & there's even room to bust out 180 360 & 720 degree turns. As you hit the waves you'll become airborne & the noise of the fan is so loud you need a headset to hear the instructions from your coach sitting behind you. Hovercrafting at Bedfordshire's lakeside setting is without doubt the best for those wanting to experience the sensation of waterborne lift off. What's more the hovercrafts this Bedfordshire team uses are the British designed & built Flying Fish regarded as the most reliable durable & safe personal hovercrafts on the market. Time to let rip on the tranquil waters of this lake & make some air-powered waves. Please visit our main hovercrafting section to see the full range of hovercraft experiences we have on offer now! ...

Your hovercraft experience in Cheshire is all about no brakes bags of thrust & an inflatable skirt! Hovercrafts offering passenger services might be a distant memory but the racing spirit lives on with these fantastic sports models. Here's your chance to get your hands on one & see what it feels like to hover just centimetres off the ground at speed.

We are offering a trio of hovercrafting sessions for you. The Taster is perfect for a first go as you’ll be learning on the training circuit away from the water. The Racing experience will see you hitting the main track (where the water splashes are) for a duel or a time trial. & the Ultimate hovercraft session here in Cheshire gives you double or everything!

The sensation when driving a hovercraft has been likened to the thrills of low level flying. & believe us there's nothing like that feeling of flying as you turn onto the water & start skimming. Oh & that bit about having no brakes? Well we'll let the team of highly experienced instructors here in Cheshire tell you just how to slow down & stop!

With not one but two purpose-built hover cross tracks & a fleet of 10 hovers at your disposition Frodsham's marshlands provide an excellent setting for testing that low-level flying theory. & being marshy the ground has a tendency to get waterlogged & very soggy as well making extra thrilling hovercraft racing.

This specialist hover centre uses the well-known Flying Fish hovercrafts that offer fun & thrills on a highly manoeuvrable sit down craft & there is also a BBV hovercraft waiting in the wings. Now these machines might not be as familiar but they certainly pack a serious punch as they are powerful ultra rugged & reliable
- we'll have to see who has the tenacity to handle these slippery sliders!

With three different hovercraft experiences in Cheshire we think there’s a session for abilities & ages. & remember if you want the thrills of the water splashes go for the Racing or Ultimate experiences otherwise the Taster is the one for a less soggy hovercraft initiation session!

Ever fancied ripping it up in a hovercraft in Sittingbourne? Well now's your chance when you tackle the tricky obstacle course on this farm estate in a nippy little Flying Fish Marlin II craft. So get the rotors turning some air into your skirt & go hovercrafting! This outdoor pursuits centre near Sittingbourne was established in 1988 & the hovercrafts are the latest addition to the fleet. The company motto of ' Adrenaline is our business' is totally apt for hovercrafting as these vehicles (or should that be vessels?) are completely madcap. Hovercrafts are unique. They are nothing like being in a boat as the ride is strangely smooth & flowing yet you can go over pretty much any surface & all because you are literally hovering above the ground. This Sittingbourne course makes the most of the agility these mega light Marlins boast thanks to that four stroke 1000cc engine. And if you don't know how hovercrafts work well they really are quite simplistic. Rotors force some air through the hull to the skirt which is how it lifts. The rest of this air is forced backwards giving your forward propulsion. That's why you feel you are rising before your then slowly slide off forwards & gain momentum. Oh & have a look inside the 'cockpit' & you'll see it couldn't be simpler
- a little seat a handlebar with a finger throttle on the right hand side & a starting button... Where the skill comes however is when you try & steer a hovercraft as you will find out straight away here at Sittingbourne. Turning the handlebar doesn't actually steer as you'd expect it just 'guides' the hovercraft in the general direction you want to go so you have to pre-empt your route & be pretty keen on the throttle too. As you get to grip with the basics in Sittingbourne you will start to test out the real skills of hovercrafting. Have a go at turning 180 degrees without coming to a stop & learn to turn at pace by shifting your weight around in the cockpit. Who knows you might even end up mastering a stylish 360 turn by the end of your 40 minutes personal driving time. Brilliant fun & a truly 'must do' activity!
