About Hov Pod Hovercraft
The Hov Pod was first introduced in 2002.
We designed the Hov Pod to be durable, safe, and suitable for the marine environment. Our product design has proven to be very successful, we now export over 85% of our products through our growing network of dealers. In 2008 we introduced the unique SPX model, manufactured from High Density Polyethylene. This material is lightweight yet very strong and exceptionally buoyant.
Hov Pods are used for leisure, rescue, patrol and commercial applications - we believe we sell more small leisure hovercraft than any other manufacturer, due to our unique design and capacity to manufacture hulls faster than any other supplier.
Hovercraft are extremely versatile and useful for many applications. Contact us for further information and dealer opportunities.
Personal leisure hovercraft are great fun - you can explore places that other vehicles never reach - it is difficult to really understand the sense of freedom you get doing 180 turns or 360's.
Small 3 passenger hovercraft are also useful for commercial applications, rescue, border patrol and homeland security.
