Those who know that there's no greater thrill than scudding across the surface of a lake at full pelt will relish the jet RIB. This rigid-inflatable boat is stable, speedy and super steerable, making manoeuvres a piece of cake. On arrival, get kitted out in safety gear and receive a welcome and safety briefing from the RYA-qualified instructor, who will then launch into the machine introduction session and instruction. Then comes the moment of truth: take the wheel and put the training into practice around the designated anti-clockwise, mile-long course. Rack up some serious speed and conquer those twists and turns. These machines happen to be the only ones of their kind on hire in the UK, so water sport fanatics are guaranteed a unique thrill
