16 Boating New Zealand
A
world-first, adrenaline-rush experience that puts you in the
driving seat of a gutsy, 100hp SuperThriller JetSprint boat has
opened in Auckland.
“Think supercharged go-kart on water and you’re getting
the idea,” says SuperThriller JetSprint co-owner, Teresa Ciprian.
The facility is located at the recently-opened Colin Dale action-
sport venue in Manukau, and provides an experience that’s fun,
exciting, challenging and safe in a controlled environment.
“We’ve made jetsprinting available for thrill-seekers over the
age of 13,” says Teresa. “Driving these boats is a real circuit-breaker.
Taking charge of your own speed boat, wind in your face, the engine
roaring as you take on the clock is exhilarating. I love seeing people’s
reactions when they’ve completed their laps and checked their times- the laughter and fist pumps say it all.”
The JetSprint boats are designed and built in New Zealand.
Performance relies on the accuracy and speed of the driver and co-
driver, and the strategy, communication, advice and enthusiasm from
their supporting crew to boost technique and confidence to knock
the seconds off the clock with each successive lap and make it to the
top of the leader board.
Certified by Maritime NZ, all participants go through a safety
briefing, are kitted up and guided through a practice lap to familiarise
themselves with the boat, the course and the timing system before
the sprints begin. Event experience packages are available for groups
and corporates as well as family and social outings.
