Yamato racing was established in 1951 under the former name of the Kokusai Kyouti Kougyo Co.

As the motor boat racing law was introduced they developed the first Japanese made racing motor roughly based on a Mercury design and have been producing motor boats and race engines mainly for the pari-mutuel motor boat racing series ever since.

In Japan Yamato racing is a professional sport where top drivers can earn impressive amounts of prize money and attract hugh crowds. The world including Europe were quick to adopt this awesome class were numbers soon blossomed to see Yamato Hydroplanes embedded as the grass routes of inshore racing and now the largest class in the world. Unlike all other classes of race boat the Yamato series is unique as it sees the pilot laying face down with a hand trigger as the throttle. Powered by a 400cc 33HP fixed drive engine it is capable of achieving a top speed of 70MPH and takes corners by planing across the the surface of the water, just think of rallying on water and you have the basic principle.

Now everyone can experience the awesome sensation of laying face down inches from the water in a Yamato OSY400 Hydroplane Powerboat.

The Monohull or “V-Hull” Type Powerboat has basic characteristics to that of the domestic Ski Boat that most think of when the word “Powerboat” is mentioned.

However once adopted by the inshore powerboat racing scene back in the early 1970s those similarities soon started to fade. The class evolved into the Monohull T850 international race series were top drivers can hit speeds in excess of 90MPH.

These single seater torpedo shaped monsters are powered by 850cc 70HP race prepared engines which give amazing acceleration along with awesome cornering abilities. “If you have ever watched a James Bond Film you know what we mean”.

Now everyone can experience the speed and power at the wheel of the Monohull - As we offer you the chance to pilot one first hand either on your own or with a group of friends on a Stag, Hen Event, Team Building activity or as Corporate entertainment.

Gemini 10 Micro Cat Powerboats originate from South Africa where since the early 1980′s local crews have raced inflatable boats down treacherous rivers and along rugged coastlines.

The concept was developed from life saving surf rescue craft for racing and leisure purposes. Since those days, inflatable boat technology and design has come along way, finally evolving into the highly capable, versatile and robust Gemini 10 Micro Cat Powerboats we use in our experiences today.

Gemini micro powerboats are designed to cope with a huge variety of sea conditions from flat calm lakes to large breaking surf. The boats are inflatable catamarans with 700cc 50hp race spec engines that can reach a top of 50mph and capable of manoeuvring around tight hair pin corners at an eye watering 3G.

Now everyone can experience the thrill of zipping across the water in a Gemini Micro Cat Powerboat as we offer rides either on your own or with a group of friends on a Stag, Hen Event, Team Building activity or as Corporate entertainment.

The Micro cat also has an extreme turning force of 2G! The trick is to see if you can hang on!

Formula 4 Catamaran Powerboat racing has to be seen to be believed.

Spectators who are new to this most spectacular watersport are invariably left spellbound when they witness these lightweight catamarans defying the laws of gravity and virtually lifted in the air during high-speed manoeuvres with only a portion of the boat in contact with the water.

The Formula 4 Catamaran is an incredible machine and capable of accelerating from 0 to 60mph in approximately 3 seconds. The hull is 12 foot long and 6 foot wide, and driven by 850cc 70HP race tuned engines with stainless steel surface piercing propellers. Current race drivers can corner through 180 degrees in a distance of 40 feet at 80mph, subjecting the pilots to 3 “Gs” and capable if achieving speeds in excess of 90MPH.

Now everyone can experience this unrivalled adrenaline pumping powerboat first hand - As we offer you the chance to pilot one first hand either on your own or with a group of friends on a Stag, Hen Event, Team Building activity or as Corporate entertainment.

Instead of wasting yet another weekend slumped in front of the EastEnders omnibus, you could be doing, well, pretty much anything in the world. So FHM lay down the alternatives…

FHM enjoy a day out with Team Power Boating

Until recently, the only excitement to be found on Britain’s inland lakes was confined to grown men in canvas hides, apoplectic over the arrival of a flock of mangy geese. This may sound difficult to top when it comes to adrenalin pumping action, but the arrival of Team Power Boating to a lake in Tamworth has done just that.

They offer complete beginners the chance to tear around a circuit in boats manoeuvrable and fast enough to perform mini jumps from their own wake. After registration at 9am, you’ll hit the water almost immediately to try out three different powerboats: Hydroplanes, Monohulls and Formula Four Catamarans. All are capable of doing 65mph and in the afternoon you will get some one-to-one instruction in the boat of your choice, as you take it around a circuit with an instructor navigating the markers and avoiding rogue moorhens.
