Southampton








Zap Cats are amazingly light and powerful inflatable catamarans. For a limited period, Into the Blue is offering a HALF PRICE deal on zap cat experiences in Southampton. This is a short term offer valid only for vouchers bought on this page. To take advantage of this superb offer, your experience must be taken before 30th June 2011.

We're sure you'll love these Zapcats. They're fast enough to be able to pull 3g round corners and with a power to weight ratio of 340bhp per tonne, you have to have your wits about you as you're not just a passenger on this thing. You'll be responsible for balancing the boat for the turns on the sea, just like any catamaran, but at high speed. The expert driver pulls 90 and 180 degree turns at speeds of around 40mph. Not one for the faint-hearted! Seeing as you'll be ripping it up over the high seas, you'll be wearing drysuits, lifejackets and helmets as safety is paramount for this high speed time trial zapcat adventure.

They are only £50, but sold as £99 to make you think your getting a deal! What spoils this event is your the passenger and you just hold on... Great thrill ride, but worth £20.....
