experience | the full potential of a hovercraft, when you fly across land and water

glide3 hovercraft flying experiences

What makes this experience so sensational is that you get to fly the hovercraft on land and water (not all hovercraft experiences have water included on the course).

I have developed a challenging land and water course for you that is almost a 50:50 split between land and water, to guarantee you get that midn blowing boost of adrenaline on your experience.

You will discover the hovercraft's unique ability to glide from land to water and back again. And master this course in surprisingly quick time.

 In some ways its like a car, in some ways like a motorbike, and if I'm not mistaken there's definitely a bit of camel in there too. I personally recommend the 40mph 180 degree emergency stop with massive over steering, rounded off by that 'ooh, look I'm aqua planing' sensation. Mmmm nice..

The tuition you receive is designed so that you master the incredible features of flying a hovercraft, quick. The HoverProTM tuition, is the UK's most comprehensive one-on-one tuition.

Why is this important?

Well have you ever tried doing something without the right help and tuition? If you drive then you might well remember your first time in a car, you probably found it easier with an instructor. That's what you get with Glide3.

Meet the challenge head on and with confidence because you have the winning combination of a professional teaching you throughout the experience.

Your confidence will soar and you'll have tremendous fun wrestling with the hovercraft across hills and turns as you fly in and out of the lake. With this experience you're straight into the driving seat and off!

 "His laid-back, calm attitude gave me the confidence to increase the speed higher than I would normally dare and the confidence to laugh at my mistakes."

adrenaline | rush as you execute 360o spins on water

hovercraft flying 360 spin


You are floating on a cushion of air 9 inches above the ground, you have no wheels, you have no brakes, you're at the mercy of gravity, and the wind often tries to muscle in and push you around.

This makes even learning the basics incredibly challenging. You'll develop new skills of co-ordination and control that will have you throwing the hovercraft into 180o and a 360o spins on land and water.

 Breathtaking (and noisey!) experience that wets your appetite, leaves you satisfied for the time being but gagging to do it again soon! A must do experience ... bring on the racing!

exclusive | access to this luxury hovercraft

Not all hovercraft are the same, the hovercraft you will be flying is very special. These hovercraft are made in the UK and designed to incredibly high specifications. Boasting impressive styling and handling, allowing you to experience a whole new off road adventure.

Designed to be at home in marine conditions, complete with plenty of inbuilt buoyancy so you float like a cork if you stop on water. You can reach speeds of up to 40mph.. Trust me when your going that fast, flying downhill, about to fly onto the water with a wind blowing that's determined to fling you the other way - it'll feel more like 80!

You don't need boating or driving qualifications to pilot this hovercraft, just a daring nature that loves to experience thrilling adventures.

If you like to get into all the technical details then take a closer look and check the Hovercraft Specification on this page.

 I've been lucky enough to fly a Tiger-Moth, drive a tank, race pilot cars.....but this was better than all of those. These hovercraft are an absolute blast!!!!
