“Against the backdrop of the setting sun, amidst chirpy excitement, the rebellious lovers sped away across the ocean, leaving distraught paparazzi and forlorn family to look on defeated and red-faced…” Thus would end many a Hollywood romantic story where the humble speedboat played a small yet significant role in all adventure getaways.

Powerboat trips

What was once reserved for the movie screens and a few celebrity photo-ops is today a popular adventure sport for all enthusiasts. Power boating as an activity describes activities performed in a motorized speed-boat often used recreationally including waterskiing, wakeboarding and other similar activities. A speedboat is a small motorboat designed to move quickly, used in races, for pulling water skiers, as patrol boats, and as fast-moving armed attack vessels by the military. Motorboats vary greatly in size and configuration, from the 4-meter, open Boston Whaler type to the luxury mega-yachts capable of crossing an ocean.
