Ferrari F430 Driving Experience for Two
The Ferrari F430 is one of the finest sports cars in the world, and driving it is an intense pleasure. It has a 4.3 litre V8 engine producing 483bhp, combined with astonishing road-holding and manoeuvrability. You'll kick off with a briefing, then your instructor will drive you for three laps in a Mazda 3 MPS to familiarise you with the driving lines of the circuit. Next you'll swap over to the driving seat for four laps in a Porsche Cayman. Then at last you'll slip behind the wheel of the all-aluminium F430 for four mind-blowing laps. Be warned, this car is capable of 0-60 mph in under four seconds and has a top speed of almost 200mph; it's not for the faint-hearted. You'll finish driving five laps in a Formula Renault single-seater - sitting two inches off the ground, with lightning-quick steering and braking, this little dynamo of a car gives a totally different ride to the Ferrari.

Wakeboarding for Three
Wakeboarding: a sport so cool, lots of people have yet to learn about it. In fact it's the fastest growing watersport in the country. It's like a cross between water-skiing, snowboarding and surfing (it used to be called skurfing, but that sounded silly). You're pulled across the water by hanging onto a cable, but unlike water-skiing you're attached to a single wide board and it's also a bit slower. So it's perfect for anyone who wants to try a new sport and doesn't mind getting very wet indeed. After a full safety briefing, you'll be on the water and round the cable. You'll start off knee-boarding, which will help you get to grips with the basics and put the theory into practice. The tricky bit is taking corners, but once you've got the hang of that you'll be up on your feet and whizzing around on your wakeboard in no time, experiencing the adrenaline rush of flying across the water. Not even the occasional dunking will wipe the smile off your face.

Luxury Sunseeker Powerboat Cruise Experience
Ever wondered what it feels like to be a millionaire? As you climb aboard this magnificent Sunseeker powerboat cruiser, you'll get a taster (albeit a small one) of what the high life is really like. Forty foot long with luxurious interiors, this powerful beauty is able to go at speeds that will impress even the most experienced sea farer. Make no mistake, this boat was designed for fun - so enjoy! Once on board you will receive a full safety briefing and some refreshments before heading out towards the Isle of Wight. If weather conditions permit on the day, you'll be able to take the helm yourself and learn all about the rules of the 'road'. On arrival there is a break for lunch (choose to either stay on board and relax or go off for a pub lunch if you prefer) and once sated, you will head back in style. To top your day off, the skipper will take this amazing vehicle to the limit so you can see for yourself just how powerful and capable the boat is. Exhausting but totally addictive.

Half Day Yacht Racing
Get your competitive spirit going with close yacht racing - combining the freedom of the open water with the thrill of racing and the satisfaction of hands-on involvement. You'll be on board a modern Sigma 8 metre high-performance manoeuverable keelboat. First you'll meet your instructor and the crew, before heading to the yachts for a safety briefing. Training includes hoisting sails, helming, practising the most efficient methods of manoeuvring the yacht and learning how to keelhaul landlubbers (or maybe not). Then you'll be briefed on the rules of the race, which takes place on a floating 'race track'. And it's all hands on deck - you'll participate fully in crewing the yacht during the race, putting into action everything that you've learned and pitting you against the competition and the elements. Afterwards you'll retire to the clubhouse for results, and you're welcome to go for a well earned drink with the instructor and crew in one of the local bars afterwards.
