Looking for something different for the family? If the cobwebs have been gathering while you've been getting on with the nine-to-five, we guarantee that speeding round the south coast in a powerboat will blow them all away! It's wet, it's windy, and much more fun than the gym. The Honda Formula 4-Stroke championship is the most exciting offshore powerboat series in the world - these boats are responsive, manoeuvrable and so fast that they fly over the surface. You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to the boat, then it's time to get changed into your safety gear and racing team kit. You and your family will head out onto Southampton water with an expert driver, usually a current or veteran racer, who'll put the boat through her paces while you hang on tight. You'll get tuition in how to handle the boat, and then about 15 minutes hands-on driving (at the skipper's discretion). The boat operates within Southampton Water and, weather permitting, out onto the Solent.

Ever wondered what it feels like to be a millionaire? As you climb aboard this magnificent Sunseeker powerboat cruiser, you'll get a taster (albeit a small one) of what the high life is really like. Forty foot long with luxurious interiors, this powerful beauty is able to go at speeds that will impress even the most experienced sea farer. Make no mistake, this boat was designed for fun - so enjoy! Once on board you will receive a full safety briefing before heading out towards the Isle of Wight. If weather conditions permit on the day, you'll be able to take the helm yourself and learn all about the rules of the 'road'. To top your day off, the skipper will take this amazing vehicle to the limit of up to 36 knots so you can see for yourself how powerful and capable the boat is. If time allows, experience the popular 'man overboard' procedures (with a prop, not a guest!). Arrive back at Ocean Village Marina fully exhilarated and some very happy memories of the day.
Blow away the cobwebs with avengeance with a full-on day powerboating around the English South coast. You start with a safety briefing and introduction to both Honda and Hypercat boats. After you have changed into your safety gear and racing team kit, head out onto the water with an expert driver in a Honda Formula 4-Stroke (HF4S) championship boat - surely one of the most exciting offshore powerboat series in the world. Your expert driver (usually a current or veteran racer) will put the boat through her paces while you hang on tight. You'll get tuition in how to handle the boat and about 15 minutes of hands-on driving (at the skipper's discretion). Break for lunch (not included) and prepare to go back on the water to whizz round in a Suzuki Hypercat, one of the fastest production powerboats going. Learn how to control the boat at speeds up to 60mph, then as you head out into open water there's an opportunity to have a go at driving. The perfect combination for a thrilling day!
Wakeboarding: a sport so cool, lots of people have yet to learn about it. In fact it's the fastest growing watersport in the country. It's like a cross between water-skiing, snowboarding and surfing (it used to be called skurfing, but that sounded silly). You're pulled across the water by hanging onto a cable, but unlike water-skiing you're attached to a single wide board and it's also a bit slower. So it's perfect for anyone who wants to try a new sport and doesn't mind getting very wet indeed. After a full safety briefing, you'll be on the water and round the cable. You'll start off knee-boarding, which will help you get to grips with the basics and put the theory into practice. The tricky bit is taking corners, but once you've got the hang of that you'll be up on your feet and whizzing around on your wakeboard in no time, experiencing the adrenaline rush of flying across the water. Not even the occasional dunking will wipe the smile off your face.
