Why buy
a hovercraft?
Neither shaken
nor stirred
Flying a hovercraft is a James Bond type experience but unlike the spy's favorite cocktail, a ride in a hovercraft will not leave you feeling shaken
Hovercraft provide a very smooth ride because they don't travel through water; they travel over it. This means anything under the water is not a concern to the versatile hovercraft.
Practical, Versatile, Safe
A hovercraft is an amphibious vehicle as home on land as it is on sea. This means that it is a type of all in one craft allowing you to do many more things with it. For instance:
-
No more searching for space at a crowded marina. Just zoom up onto land, kill the engine and hop out.
-
Go fishing, hunting and touring. All on the same trip with the same craft!
-
No need for a ramp, you can launch your craft from any safe and appropriate place
-
Travel effortlessly over mud, water, ice and snow making a truly all year round vehicle.
In terms of safety, a hovercraft is less damaging to the environment as there is no propellor and the hull does not make contact with the surface it is flying over.
Less is more
A hovercraft is a very efficient machine. It has far less drag than conventional marine vehicles and requires less horsepower to propel it across both land and sea.
Less horsepower also means less fuel is required which obviously mean less money spent on fuel and more time spent making use of the craft.
Upstream? Rapids?
No problem!
Your're flying downstream and you've overshot your campsite! No matter, spin your hovercraft round and just shoot back up stream as if it never happened.
What's that? Rapids ahead? Am I in a boat? No! I'm not and these rapids are no match for me and my mighty hovercraft!
We are not talking Niagra Falls here, but small to medium rapids present no problems to a well built hovercraft, especially one like the Skima. Check out our New craft page for more details!
