The Ultimate Powerboat Day - drive three of the world's most impressive powerboats in one day in Hampshire. The full day experience takes place along the Southampton Water and the open seas setting off from the marina in Southampton.

Fancy skating over the water at high speed in an inflatable boat? There's nothing dingy-like about this vessel. It's a finely tuned, high performance inflatable catamaran that's easy to drive and takes corners at a pace that'll have your eyes widening at the awe of it all. Then there's the Hypercat. This is a graceful, twin-hulled powerboat that is always a favourite with speed demons. Unleash the 300hp supercharged engine and you'll know what we mean.

Last but not least, the Honda racing powerboat. A proper offshore powerboat that you might have seen racing on the TV, this is seriously rapid and you'll find as you go bouncing over the waves that you won't be able to see over the bow as it lifts up. Hold on tight on this one!

The best thing about this ultimate powerboat day in Hampshire is that not only do you get to enjoy a high thrills demo ride in the boats, you also get plenty of time to actually drive them yourself too. By the end of your day at sea you'll be addicted to powerboating!
