ZapCat - Have A Go Experience

  • One on one instructor to pupil session
  • Drive with the 08 National ZapCat Champions
  • Experience 3G of wind reaching speeds of 50 mph
Do you fancy taking the reins of the fantastically powerful ZapCat and reaching speeds of 50mph in just three seconds? This is your chance to control the boat through 3G force turns over and through monstrous waves. The lightweight powerboat was originally designed as a surf rescue boat and due to its speed and agility it rapidly created the worlds most popular one design powerboat race. These tremendously powerful boats are most commonly seen at the Bournemouth Grand Prix and the National ZapCat Championships where the top pilots compete against each other for the prestigious Grand Prix Trophy.

Experience Content

Upon arrival you will take part in a 30 minute safety briefing before entering the water in the powerful ZapCat race boat. You will then move onto your one on one session with one of the UK's top inflatable power boat pilots. You will experience a race and driving session which will last up to two hours allowing you to get to grips with the sheer power of the ZapCat itself, whilst reaching the thrilling and outrageous heights of 6ft created from the waves. A Safety boat is present so when you are not controlling the boat you can still be included in the chase around the water.
