Hovercraft take you places unreachable by other means
There is no vehicle comparable to a hovercraft. Imagine taking off for a day on the water with family and friends without the need for a boat ramp. Confidently, you fly just inches above the surface, gliding over the water to explore shallows, marshes, sand bars and mud flats, without leaving a footprint. Consider having the potential to rescue a victim who has fallen through the ice, without becoming a victim yourself. Your perception of work and play will be forever changed. These are but a small sample of the versatility and usefulness of these amazing vehicles. Other uses include:
- Safe flood and swift water rescue
- Environmental sampling in hard-to-reach areas
- Spraying shallows for mosquito and weed control
- Delivering military personnel at low tide for surveillance operations
- Transport in environmentally sensitive areas where habitat, erosion and soil compaction are a concern
- Wildlife conservation and research
- Fishing anywhere - including ice fishing
- Dive recovery operations
- Retrieving birds from tailings ponds at mining sites
- Water management
- Port authority, drug enforcement
Hovercraft are crowd pleasers at entertainment venues.
Shallow water conditions are no challenge for hovercraft.
