About Us
Rebel Hovercraft LLC are a new revolution in the hovercraft industry. While other companies are more than happy to sell you their own craft or parts, we would much prefer to help you find the best items and best value, even if that means recommending you buy from one of our competitors.
Central to our policies and practices is our focus on quality and value not available anywhere else in the hovercraft industry. We would never sell any craft or parts that we would not be happy to use ourselves.
The owners and operators of Rebel, Ian & LouAnn, have over 60 years of invaluable aircraft engineering experience between them – after all, a hovercraft has much more in common with aircraft than any other form of vehicle. Although a young company, formed in 2012, we have been involved with hovercraft since the 1970s and successfully built and flew our first craft in 1978.
Currently our main business is restoration – we take old and unloved hovercraft of all makes and models and restore them to their former beauty, often improving on the original designs with increased performance and safety.
Recently we introduced the first of our new line of communication systems for hovercraft, the Rebel HoverTalk: a top quality system that outperforms any other similar system but at a fraction of the cost.
Very soon, we will move to the next stage and be in the enviable position of being the USA distributor for the coming Skima range of hovercraft. These craft are a monumental step forward in design and construction for a recreational or light commercial craft due their revolutionary design, use of the latest aerospace-inspired construction techniques and materials and modern four stroke engines. Although we would dearly love to talk about these craft, we have been sworn to secrecy until the final tests and trials have been completed . . . but they are coming and will be here very soon!
We could throw some clever phrases around. Perhaps, we could even position a few witty words here and there, but in the end, your decision to shop with anyone, including us, boils down to trust. You shop with whom you're confident and comfortable with. It's about a quality product and unmatched service.
We believe that nobody else can provide the quality and value of products, range of services, or specialist solutions that we can. We want the chance to prove that point to you, so when you're serious about hovercraft let us earn your trust.
Our dealer / manafacturer / distributor number is TX-4019-AA and our United States Coastguard Manafacturers Identification Code is "RHL".
