Welcome to Hovercraft Services Ltd
NEW FOR 2009 11m HUMBER RIB
Hovercraft Services Ltd are a small professional company based in Lancashire. Since its initiation 3 years ago, it has grown from one mans dream to a highly professional, forward thinking company with a large and diverse client base. The company recently made national headlines following its rescue of a porpoise that had become stranded by the tides at Morecambe Bay.
Our??hovercrafts seat up to five people, service recreational and commercial clients nationally, with the expertise of our highly qualified 7-strong team.
The unique capabilities of the hovercraft are recognised and appreciated by a diverse group of end users. Hovercraft are in use worldwide with search?& rescue groups and?scientific researchers. They have proved their worth during surveys and environmental monitoring, they can also?provide a stable film & television platform in otherwise inaccessible areas. Hovercraft?are equally at home on sand, mud, grass, snow, ice, water or land, which makes them an ideal search and rescue vehicle.
Hovercraft travel over the surface of the water without concern for depth or hidden obstacles, and will travel against the current with no reduction in speed. Hovercraft are unaffected by small waves and offer a comfortable smooth ride.
As there are no propellers, hovercraft can operate over environmentally sensitive areas such as shallow rivers or mudflats without disturbing the surface. The lack of a wake on water minimises the potential for bank erosion, and causes little disturbance for others working or taking part in leisure activities. Unlike many boats, engine exhaust fumes are not directed into the water and poisonous anti-fouling compounds are not required, making the hovercraft an environmentally friendly option.
