All of these power boating activities take place on a vast purpose built fresh water lake at Milton Keynes in Bucks, so you won't have to worry about the tide going out or getting seaweed in your hair!

The centre is the perfect venue for a day out for all the family as there are lots of facilities on site including sailing, cable tow water skiing, mini golf, tennis, cycle hire and jogging circuits.

You can choose from two different powerboating experiences at this venue:

Two Hour Taster:  This is an introduction to power boating and entirely water-based. Enjoy the skill of the slower manoeuvres and the buzz of the high speed moves too, all the activities are under the close supervision of a fully qualified RYA instructor.

Two Day RYA Level 1 and 2:  This is a comprehensive course, covering low and high speed manoeuvring, boat safety and maintenance. This course combines the learning aspect with the thrill and excitement of driving powerboats and you should be driving confidently in no time. This course is normally held over two days, with the International Certificate of Competence included, which is a must if you own a boat abroad or want to hire a powerboat. Check our main Zapcat racing page for information on other Zapcat and Powerboat experiences. 

All the activities are under the close supervision of a fully qualified RYA instructor who teach in groups of no larger than three students to one instructor. Allow around 2.5hrs on site for the two hour taster session. For the full day session, day one is 0930am - 1730 and 0930 - 1630 on day two.
