Hovercraft Grand Prix Experience

Ireland’s First and Best Solo Hovercraft Grand Prix Experience

Hovercraft Experience: Piloting a solo hovercraft  is genuinely like nothing else you’ve ever experienced! If you can imagine sliding on ice in a craft which is part jet ski, part air plane, (and with no brakes!) you’re close!  Hovercraft fly across land and water on a cushion of air created and powered by a large fan mounted behind the pilot. Our Flying Fish F25 single seater craft are capable of over 40mph! Our hovercrafting course takes full advantage of our stunningly beautiful lakeside location and comprises a grass section leading you out onto the water before turning back to land again – the unique sensation of transition from open water to grass at full speed is scarily good!

You will be taught how to operate the craft, then you take the controls as pilot, flying solo for 5 practise laps, followed by  a  second session of a minimum 10 laps racing against the clock.  Our experienced instructors will offer ongoing advice as you master the craft and gain speed. A final will round off the event with a bottle of bubbly for the winner.

• Maximum ratio of pilots to craft is four.
• For safety reasons the course layout may occasionally vary.
• Allow approximately two hours  for this package, based on eight participants.
• All safety equipment, race overalls or wet weather gear is included.
• Free tea and coffee on tap all day! Spectators are welcome.
• This is an extreme experience, strictly for aged 16+ and not for the faint hearted!
