sights and whoop with
delight on this Padstow
boat trip! Needless to
say this isn't your usual
sedate sightseeing boat
ride you will be bumping
and bouncing your way
around this delightful
corner of the country on
a high speed boat!Before
you can set sail for the
high seas you'll meet
your skipper for the
voyage - Ian Kitto. Ian
has grown up in and lived
around the Padstow area
all of his life and has
set up this boat touring
company as a friendly
family concern. His jolly
disposition wealth of
local knowledge and sheer
boat driving skills are
what make these trips
unique.Following an
on-shore safety briefing
you'll be kitted out in a
buoyancy aid and if needs
be waterproofs. Heading
down to the Padstow
quayside you'll see the
bright orange vessel
that'll be taking you on
your boat tour. It's a
very impressive RIB
(Rigid Inflatable Boat)
that is sturdy yet light
and very very powerful
with not one but two
outboard motors. Climb
aboard and get ready for
the ride...Things start
nice and gently with a
cruise out of the Camel
Estuary on which Padstow
sits then your tour in
this powerful boat
literally steps up a gear
as you are on the open
seas and Ian hits the
throttle. Skimming across
the waters it's a case of
spray in your face
screeches of delight and
a proper bouncy ride - no
wonder there are large
bars in front of you to
hold on to! You'll whizz
around this astonishingly
beautiful coastline with
a heading towards Port
Isaac.Port Isaac is
instantly recognisable as
the location where hit TV
show Dr Martin is filmed
and is also where scenes
for the classic Poldark
series were shot. It's
picture postcard pretty
and rather lovely to look
at from the sea for a
very different
perspective of this
quintessential little
village that is much like
Padstow a mix of tourism
and fishing. Slowing the
boat down your tour guide
and driver Ian will tell
you all about the history
along with some
fascinating facts
too.Then it's about turn
to set off on the return
leg of your boat trip
back to Padstow. Once
again it's a brilliant
mix of speedy boat riding
and seaside views as you
head back into port. And
if you and your fellow
passengers are up for it
(and there isn't too much
sea swell) Ian is always
obliging when it comes to
pulling off a few sharp
turns that are way more
of an adrenaline rush
than your average theme
park ride!If you want to
make it a personal party
on the waves go for the
charter option that gives
you the boat skippered by
Ian for an hour exclusive
to you. This means that
once beyond Padstow
harbour you can decide
where to send the boat on
your very own private
tour.We think this
Padstow boat tour is the
perfect way to spend an
hour discovering the
coastline hearing about
the history of the area

'having it' zipping

Powerboat Adventure day
in Southampton! During
your first mission it'll
be you at the wheel of a
thrilling powerboat. A
fully qualified skipper
will be on hand to give
you all the training you
need to take a powerful
Honda racing speedboat
around the offshore race
circuit. We're talking
amazing cornering speeds
getting the boat's hull
out of the water flying
above the waves and
generally having it large
on the water. And yes
you'll be allowed to
drive this boat like you
stole it! After all that
adrenaline it's time for
a break in the marina
cafe before you meet your
next vessel - a 450bhp
Jet Viper. This is a
proper racing boat that's
easily the fastest craft
out on the waves. It's
all about harnessing that
power to literally skim
across the water at a
rate of knots that feels
pretty much close to
vertical take off speed.
It's so gnarly that
you'll be dressed in
proper jet boat racing
gear for your passenger
ride. You can pretty much
guarantee there will be
plenty of that 'wind in
your hair' stuff going on
along with lots of
splashing from the wake
the boat creates as your
expert driver pulls
doughnuts crash stops
side slides and even
spins. Of course the
waterways have speed
limits in the harbour
areas so as you leave
Southampton's Shamrock
Quay marina (past the
admiring glances) you'll
be at a leisurely pace
until you reach the open
waters of the Solent. Now
here's the moment your
skipper will open up the
throttle and give his
boating beauty a real
blast. Just to recap on
this Wet and Wild

will first get to have a
go skippering a full-spec

round the buoys on the

Gear yourself for some
jet-propelled fun on a
jet boat ride! Scarab jet
boats are fast agile and
fun making them the
perfect choice for your
jet boat passenger
experience at Wyboston
Lakes near St Neots. If
you're not familiar with
Scarab they make jet
boats for having fun out
on the water whether it's
a gentle cruise a quick
blast around or for
towing sports. Based in
America the UK dealer for
Scarab actually uses
these lakes for demos and
testing so you're in the
heart of the Scarab jet
boat action with these
experiences! You'll be a
passenger on these funky
vessels with an RYA
qualified skipper at the
helm. The boats are
'compact but potent' as
the manufacturers
themselves put it. It
seats the driver (or
should that be pilot?)
and up to four passengers
comfortably. In the
luxury models there are
swivel seats so you can
face forwards when you're
wave jumping and turn
round to relax and take
in the sunset when you
throttle back and drift
for a while. On these jet
boat rides it's all about
adrenaline so there's no
kicking back and relaxing
on the Scarab's stern
deck. You're here to
witness the sheer power
and handling of this
waterborne pocket rocket.
And it's pretty
phenomenal for such a
modestly-sized boat. And
corners? Well you'll be
wondering if you should
scream and wave your
hands in the air like you
just don't care or hang
on for dear life in that
white-knuckle kind of
way. It all depends how
brave a sailor you are!
When you're going at
speeds of up to 50mph you
can get a long way in 10
minutes. Luckily these
lakes cover around 33
acres so there's room to
cruise room to pull off
those sharp cornering
moves and room to max out
on the acceleration on
the straights too with
these Scarab jet boats.
It's going to be a
thrilling jet boat ride
out there so get yourself
ready for the day you
meet the bold and brash
Scarab. It's pretty life
affirming stuff
undertaking a passenger
ride on these jet-powered
boats - we think even
hardy landlubbers should
do it at least once!
