Powerboat Courses Taster
Course Content
The Powerboat taster is an adrenaline fuelled blast around St Brides 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. Driving experience will depend on prevailing conditions.
