Hovercraft Experience Flights

Hovertravel operates the fastest service between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.

Your experience will include:

• Demonstration of the unique manoeuvrability of hovercraft*
• Expert commentary from our hovercraft pilot
• Guided tour by pilot around the outside of the hovercraft.
• Opportunity to take photos onboard and outside.
