Zap Cat Experience for 2

The ZapCat is a very light weight, twin hulled inflatable boat with a large outboard engine fitted to it. This little recipe adds up to a create a machine that reaches a top speed of approaching 50 mph in 3 seconds (give or take a couple of fractions) and is exposed to 2-3 G in the turns.....Extreme Fun!!

Originally designed as a surf rescue boat which has morphed into the worlds most popular one design powerboat championship and is now available to give speed freaks like you the ride of your life! Oh yeah, to top it all off, if the weather permits you will even get a go at driving the thing, how good is that?

Itinerary / Highlights

* Drive with the 08 National ZapCat Champions
* Experience a 3G force in the turns
* Power around on a 225HP RIB as well

Upon arrival at the centre you will be given a full safety briefing, it's then to time hit the water. Your instructor will demonstrate to you exactly what these crazy machines are capable of...expect to spend as much time in the air as on the water! Then, weather permitting and at the instructors discretion, it's your turn...open the engine and feel the power of The ZapCat.

The support boat is 225hp Rigid Inflatable Boat so when someone else is taking their turn on the main attraction you still get to power around on this little beauty.
