Hov Pod Hovercrafts - Incredibly Versatile, Highly Exciting and Thrillingly Different

Hov Pod Recreational Hovercraft This Personal Hovercraft is manufactured in Southampton, England, by Reaction International Ltd. Company founder and Managing Director Peter Ward, established the company in the year 2000.

As a marine engineer Peter traveled to many exotic destinations and pondered on the question, "Why has no one exploited hovercraft technology for the marine recreation industry?" After a number of years market research, he concluded that although there were many kit built and racing craft available, no one had designed a personal hovercraft to meet the exacting standards demanded by the marine leisure market.

Marine leisure buyers demand safety, ease of use, durability, reliability, and expect a dealer network capable of providing on-going sales and technical support for the personal or commercial hovercraft owner.

The personal watercraft market is huge by comparison to personal hovercraft. Peter set out to design a craft capable of addressing all of the known problems associated with hovercraft, for example, the perception that all hovercrafts are noisy, difficult to control, are known to stop suddenly on water, (known as ploughing in), and when they do stop on water, occasionally sink!

Not only would his design need to overcome these problems to meet commercial and Hov Pod Hovercraft recreational safety standards, he also wanted the recreational hovercraft to look as good as personal watercraft. To reach this aim, he contracted out commercial manufacture of specialist GRP (Glass Fiber) construction to specialist top quality boat manufacturers. By September 2002, the first craft were ready for launch at the Southampton International Boat Show, and took the world by storm. Television companies lined up to conduct interviews and test drive the Hov Pod, and queues formed as hundreds of people wished to experience the ride. Leading magazines and National newspapers began to feature Hov Pods. Film companies featured the hovercraft in science fiction and adventure movies. TV footage was syndicated around the world.

Reaction International Ltd are now busy building an international network of dealers to provide sales and technical support, and have received commercial and personal orders from as far away as Australia, South Africa and the Middle East. The Hov Pod Hovercraft is testimony to the fact that if you can invent or develop a new product that fits a niche market, the world will beat a path to your door, evident by the growing demand of export orders received by the company.
