Your experience begins with a safety briefing and an introduction to the boats. You then get changed into the Saber Powersports racing team kit and safety gear. Then it´s onto the water. The boats have comfortable secure seating and the experience is suitable for all adventure seekers.

You will start off learning to drive a Honda Race Boat. The Honda Formula 4-Stroke championship (HF4S) is the largest, most exciting offshore powerboat series in the world. Feel the speed and grace of this highly responsive racing machine. During this experience the Driver (usually a current or past racer) heads into the Solent to show what the boat can do. Your one and half hours on board includes approximately 15 minutes of hands-on driving and tuition. You will also have the opportunity to test your skills on our offshore racing circuit. The boat operates within Southampton Water and extends into the Solent so bring a disposable camera. The boat is soft riding and the seating comfortable. Be prepared for the ride of your life! You will then have a lunch break back at base and get ready to take on the Suzuki Hypercat.

The 300Hp Suzuki powered Hypercat we have at Saber is similar to the craft used in the class one powerboat series. Feel the speed and grace of this highly responsive racing machine. She can power through almost any water at high speed sending the boat flying high above the surface. This High performance wild cat demands respect, would you like to put her through her paces? The Driver (usually a current or past racer) heads into the Solent to show what the boat can do. Your two hours on board includes approximately 20 minutes of hands-on driving and tuition. The boat operates within Southampton Water and extends into the Solent so bring a disposable camera. The boat is soft riding and the seating comfortable. With over twice the power of the Honda Powerboats and an `air entrapment hull´ you will soon be flying into the Solent.
