These nippy little sports boats are native to New Zealand, but now you can have some serious fun without having to change hemisphere on a Zego ride in Wellingborough! The latest craze in personal water craft from down under, the Zego is a serious amount of fun.

The idea behind the Zego is that it is small, really fast over the water and incredibly stable and easy to drive at the same time. Being so rugged means you can fling them into turns and accelerate to properly ride the waves. A lot of fun and no previous sports boat driving experience necessary!

There's room for two people onboard, so you can choose to lap up the full half an hour of water time yourself, or you can share it with a friend. Either way, your time on the Zego is totally exclusive, so there's no waiting for your turn as part of a group.

We think a Zego experience is a superb present for anyone who is always up for trying something new, likes having a go at the latest extreme sport, or for someone who has already exhausted the list of personal watercraft experiences. These little Zegos may be petite, but they certainly pack a punch.

This is a 30 minute exclusive one to one session. After a welcome and safety briefing session your experienced instructor will give you a short tuition session on how to handle the controls of the Zego. You will then take to the water yourself for your 30 minute session. Participants will be presented with a personalised certificate of achievement. You can bring along a friend and share the driving time between you.


The experience is available on most weekend dates throughout the year excluding December, January and February when the site closes for winter.


Zego driving experiences take place at the Grendon Lakes family complex near Wellingborough in Northamptonshire.


A minimum age of 17 years is required to drive the Zego. The maximum weight limit is 22 stone. All safety equipment is provided by the venue. Participants must5 bring along their own towel and must arrive 30 minutes before the start time.
