On this site you will find a basic guide to the sport of hovercraft cruising. I hope you find it useful!

The main purpose of this site is to show some of the exciting things you can do and the places you can go with a hovercraft. I've tried to be as honest as possible - all of the good and bad stuff is here. I hope it will encourage and inspire you to look at hovercraft in a new light - they are a truly unique and capable machine that open up new possibilities for water users. All of the information found here is my own opinion based directly on my personal experience.

Take a look around the top menu and I'm sure you will find something of interest!

The videos and picture libraries contain a selections of images of my craft in action together with some other interesting clips (I don't post many new clips to this site - they are all now available on YouTube at  http://uk.youtube.com/user/jarobhov)

If you have any comments please contact me . If you have found this site useful please sign my Guestbook - thanks!

This site is not updated as regularly as I would like- I am currently the Chairman of a new UK hovercraft cruising club (www.hoverclub.org.uk) and most of my efforts (and posts) appear on there!
