Zap Cats are very fast and very wet boats originally designed for surf rescue organisations in South Africa they can handle all sea states. They are also raced around the world and are reputed to have the same power to weight ratio as a Ferrari.

The Zap Cat taster is an adrenaline fuelled blast around the bay taking in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park from the sea. Experiencing the speed and exhilaration of these boats is one thing but the manoeuvrability allows us to explore deep within caves and through narrow gullies.

Duration: 60 mins
Cost: £50pp

Maximum number on each trip is 3 plus the driver.

The river cruises are carried out on the Cleddau Estuary which is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. This ancient wooded estuary is spectacular and is a great place to unwind with a group of friends. The landing craft allows a maximum of 12 people to bumble up the river and due to its shallow draft, access the creeks which lead to two good country pubs.

Duration: 3-4 hours
Cost: £200
