Powerboats etc - looking for red letter day type experiance

[Pappa Lurve]

Evening all,

Looking to go playing in a powerboat type thing. Red letter day offer various experiances. I have gone before years ago but the person I am taking has not. Want to find something where we can have a little play, she can have a chance to pilot one (hopefully both of us can!). Basic criteria is I want something fast and water-based!

Anyone have any idea which are the most fun of these kind of things and where to pick up the best deals?

Cheers

PL

If you don't want the full blown race training he will at least point you in the right direction. There are some muppets out there to avoid.

Once you've done a bit why not give this a go?

Thanks for those. I will pass on the Sunseeker, been on them so many times. Lovely boats but looking for something more extreme.

The powerboat one I shall follow up on. Really appreciate the links.

PH - cos everything matters!

Spoke to the Powerboat Centre yesterday and had a chat with a lovely lady who works there. They only offer a full day experiance, they can do a half day one but dont recommend it. It's not cheap compared to others but they seem to offer a lot more time in the boat and actually on the wheel. Also seem to be a really nice company to deal with, very helpful indeed. Still looking about but so far this one does seem like a really good option. Thanks for the link.

When you look at Neils experience levels and who uses him, at least you can guarantee value for money. As I said before there are lots of people out there offering dubious days. Let us know how you get on

If you want something a little more extreme then Zapcats are fairly breathtaking

Speak to Martin or Mike, tell them Carl sent you.
