    I had a fabulous day on 8th August driving the Hydroplanes (so sorry it has taken me so long to sing your praises!!) I was a bit of a nervous driver to begin with but everyone was so supportive and encouraging I was up there with the best of them by lunchtime! I still can’t believe the guys just held back and made the girlies go first!!

    Although it was only me taking part, my whole family was made to feel really welcome and included in the day. So much so that Emily and Connor even got to have their own little tour around the lake on their own private boat – that made my day – I haven’t seen Emily laugh so much in ages!
    Charlotte and Peter thank you for making my day so special, you are a lovely family. x

    One word to describe our day with Charlotte and her team – FANTASTIC !!!!!!! From the moment we stepped from the car we were treated like family. Welcomed with a friendly hug and a cup of coffee – we just knew we were in for a brill day.

    Dolly, Minnie, ( they are our Shih Tzu’s and also made very welcome ) and i were not taking part in the water activities, but went along for the day and to cheer Philip on, but from the onset we were made to feel like part of the group.

    Philip took part in all of the ‘Water Experiences’ and loved them all, the instruction, supervision and ultimate thrill of the ride, surpassed all his expectations……… Although part of a group ( albeit small today, to our advantage though ) this felt like a personal experience to him instead of being herded around as part of package as we have experienced with other ‘experience days’ .

    We had a lovely lunch and were very surprised to be told that at the end of the day, a tea also had been laid on, during which a little presentation ceremony took place – again personal and with great humour, which ALL the team attended and stayed until we left for our journey home.

    I could go on and on, but less is more i think. Again thankyou Charlotte and we WILL be seeing you again for sure.

    We wish you all well.

    Thanks for a fantastic day last week. The organisation was superb. Here are a few of the compliments we received:-

    “The best hospitality day I have ever attended. The events were exciting and novel, but most of all the whole group were friendly and fun”
    “A fabulous day”
    “By far the most ambitious and enjoyable corporate event I have had the pleasure to attend”
    “A most excellent day – certainly a day to remember”
    “A great day out – immensely enjoyable”

    I would like to personally thank you and all your team for a fantastic day, the like of which I have never attended before. Everything ran so smoothly, not a single hiccup all day.

    If ever you would like a reference please feel free to contact us, we would be more than happy to oblige.
    All the best

    Just a quick note to thank you for a super day yesterday. I really enjoyed meeting you and all your team, and I was very impressed with what I saw.

    I thought all the instructors were extremely professional and committed, but at the same time very relaxed and “human”. In particular I was impressed by Pete’s briefing, which was clear and concise and full of enthusiasm, despite the fact he must have said it all hundreds of times before. I also enjoyed watching others try out the boats and was frustrated not to be able to join in!! …… perhaps next year…..?

    Again many thanks for your hospitality, and I look forward to seeing you again soon,
    Best wishes

    I am writing to thank you and your team for a fantastic day and certainly the best intrepid day we have had. I thought the organisation of the day was first class and found your team extremely friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Please pass my thanks onto them, they are a credit to the sport. Speaking for myself you have introduced a sport which I would love to continue and I believe I speak for at least one of our gusts as well.

    If any of your prospective corporate clients need a reference do not hesitate to give them my name. Thanks again for a memorable day,
    All the very best

    Just a note to thank you for a really great day. I did enjoy myself – as I imagine you noticed. As you saw I found the hydroplanes most fun personally, but in between having a ball myself on the water, I was happily able to get to talk to enough people to give us the material we needed to produce a good piece on the day with some side bars on the sport and how to get into it.
    Please pass on my thanks to all your helpers, Stu and Pete in particular. I could tell from the expression on Pete’s face that he was enjoying someone catching the bug!!
    Very kind regards,
    Malcolm McKeag

    Just a brief note to reiterate my thanks for organising such a splendid and exhilarating day out at Kingsbury on Wednesday. All of my guests have been in touch to tell me what a wonderful time they had. Both the smiles from everybody on the day itself were more than enough to demonstrate that.

    I hope that some future business comes your way as a result of the people we introduced to the sport and I am fairly certain that we will be repeating the exercise next year.

    On behalf of Debbie and myself I would just like to take this opportunity to say thanks for the excellent day on Wednesday. In addition to being an enjoyable, fun day it was also nice to “get away from the phones” and feel stress free for a change.

    Debbie hasn’t stopped talking about the “experience” yet, especially with her being “the Wise Old Owl”, as you can imagine, she’s full of it.

    Please convey our thanks to the team for their patience and encouragement. A good day had by all, once again many thanks!

    I thought I would just drop you a line to thank you again for a fantastic days power boating last week.

    Speaking from an insurance point of view I was thoroughly impressed with the organisation and training provided, but not only that, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will certainly be telling all my friends about it.
    Kind regards

    I had a thoroughly enjoyable day with Team Power Boating. I found the facilities, tuition and organisation of a very good standard and the many coaches / staff on hand to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful (and tolerant!).

    Perhaps the best measure of any event is whether or not it would be recommended to friends and colleagues and I would certainly be happy to refer them to Team Power Boating.

    Yours sincerely,

  11. Steve Burrage says:

    Many thanks for the wonderful experience day on Saturday. Allan and I certainly enjoyed it. Jonathon watched the video on Sunday and has vowed to have a go next year. (This means I must come again ……great!!!).
    Once again many thanks, especially to the hydroplane coach – I learnt a great deal from him.

    Yours,
    Steve Burrage

  12. Colin Hoad says:

    I am writing to thank you for a fantastic day out last Thursday,. Yourself and your staff, along with reliable equipment, made it a day to remember.

    It is with thanks to you and all your efforts I would like to consider renting one of your hydroplanes for a race meeting early next season with a view to purchasing my own boat, if the bug bites hard enough. With thanks & regards,

  13. Ray Mayes says:

    Both Austin & I would like to express our appreciation for a most excellent day out power boating, we have yet to meet anything that can pump up the adrenaline more than this sport, we found your team to be very helpful and the informal but intuitive atmosphere of the whole day would calm the fears of even the most nervous disposition, even when you are told to lay face down on a plywood plank be propelled into a lake with a rocket attached to your rear end.

    We will have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Team Power Boating to all our friends and colleagues and wish you all the very best for a well deserved future.
    Best regards,

    I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for such a wonderful day on Thursday. The experience was fantastic. As I live near Oulton Broad I have watched the power boating there and have wondered what it was like, thanks to Team Power Boating I will be getting off my ass and acting upon it and very soon will be racing. Probably F4 as I now have a few friends who race also at Oulton Broad with F4s.
    The effort and commitment from you and your team can only be expressed as a credit to the sport.

    Regards,
    Ian Smith

    My wife and daughter came along as spectators and although I thought they maybe a little bored just watching, they were also made welcome and were able to make use of some of the other facilities available .

    Thanks again,

    Hi all at Team Power Boating, having just got home to sunny Devon, I felt that I must write to congratulate you and your fantastic team for the best days fun that I have had for ages. Your team were great, the location was superb and the “WOW” factor was 10/10. Hope that we can make it back up to try it all again in the future, Best regards to all of you and thanks again for a “Stunning Day”!!!

  17. Jon Cooper says:

    Just to reiterate my thanks for the hard work everyone put in yesterday. You had a difficult time with unusual mechanical gremlins, but everyone worked hard to overcome them and stayed late to ensure we all had the chance to enjoy the complete programme.

    I must say I am glad we did, all of it was great but the “cat” was definitely my favourite and I would have hated to have missed out on that.
    The food was superb, boats were fantastic and instruction first class. I will certainly recommend the day to my colleagues.

    Well done to you all, and I hope you find your dream lake soon !

    Only two words to say – “Thank You”
    Apart from the aches & pains – what a great day ! Almost as good as last year!!

  19. Richard Soans says:

    I thoroughly enjoyed myself, learnt a lot, and felt the whole day was very worthwhile. Every one was friendly, helpful and seemed remarkably patient when being asked the same questions time and time again as we each gained in confidence with the various boats and wanted to know more and more about how to lap the course faster.

    I hope to visit you again in the near future but I have a awful suspicion that I’m already hooked – in spite of all the bruises I found the next morning !
    Many thanks for a most enjoyable day,
    Yours sincerely,
    Richard Soans

  20. I have been on a number of experience days and have to say by far this was the best one yet! Not just the activity itself (which was amazing!) but also each person was given a personal experience and not just treated as just another number in the pack! Definitely top marks and will be recommending and organising another day for next year!

  21. Geoff Major says:

    What makes a great experience day is the activity itself, but what made this a truly memorable experience day was the blend of an exhilirating activity and the fantastic team hosting the event.

    Without doubt the best, friendliest, expert team of people you’ll ever meet especially Big Pete, Little Pete and ex UK, European and World Champion Charlotte (but the rest of the team were JUST as amazing).

    If you’re looking for thrills, (hopefully no) spills, expert tuition, advice and the desire to feel raw power at your fingertips – go wet, go wild, go Team Powerboating !!
