Experience what it’s like to be part of an iconic James Bond scene with this action-packed powerboating experience in Southampton. During the session, take part in two 007 style missions which involve experiencing the might of two of the UK’s fastest and most impressive powerboats. Begin with a safety briefing then get kitted out in specialist race kit to prepare for the ride ahead. First, take control of a colossal Honda powerboat and push it to its limit using The Solent as your aquatic playground, before racing against the clock on a challenging offshore racing circuit. Next, hop into the passenger seat of the mighty Jet Viper and hold on tight while the skippers pulls off donuts, spins and side slides on the open water!
