- Watch the Hovercraft - Solent Express - being refueled,the craft starting up and Portsmouth spinnaker tower in the background!
My Grandmother lives in Southsea, Portsmouth & a few years ago when I was staying with her I treated myself to a ride on the hovercraft to Ryde, Isle of Wight, my Grandmother had planned something else with my Aunt at the time or she would have come with me.
It was a fantastic experience & I fully recommend it to anybody planning a trip from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight without the bother of a car.

Beautiful
Love watching the hovercraft tried it once and absolutely loved it so everytime we had a holiday in the Isle of wight we went on the hovercraft from Ryde to Southsea
Man, I can remember going on that same hovercraft from Ryde to Southsea on my own for a day of skateboarding at Southsea Skatepark back in 1988, then it was back home to Grans house in Ryde for tea. I was 14 at the time and I never forgot how magical the journey was, skipping across the Solent on a carpet of air. Great to see the service is still in use.
Happy days....
childhood memory 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
0:24 Careful there.
Flying on a coshin of air
In 2010 Hover travel's other AP1 88 hovercraft Island Express went out of service to be refurbished leaving the other 2 AP1 88 Freedom 90 and BHT 130 Solent Express.
CREW MEMBER: captain , iceberg right ahead.
CAPTAIN: it's ok ladies and gentlemen don't worry I'll run right over it this is unsinkable because it's not a boat or ship. LOL 😂🤣 🤣
Solent express was in service and Freedom 90 was just parked at Ryde.

Rosana Vacaro true that. This man is a wanna be. @smarty-party-gamer. On the UA-cam channel trying to tell people he knows who invented it...
Check my video out. I had a chance to film on deck with the captain
I want to see two hovercraft play bumper boats.

I always feel let down at the end of the ride
Damn man I got soap in my eye in the shower just now and shit still stings.

I've often stood on the rail bridge and watched this. I never get tired of it. I've even been on it myself.

Don’t show your jealousy!!!!
I went on this yesterday what a coo incident like a plane inside
If I need one how much
£7,000,000 in 2007 when built.
Única vez que eu vi isso na minha vida foi jogando GTA.
Why not just get a boat
Because they're akward like that
I think it's a bit quicker too
The tide is a big problem - the Hovercraft can fly over the sand at low tide.....
Because at Ryde, the sea is almost a mile from the shore in some parts at low tide. That's why the pier has to be 665 metres long, whereas a hovercraft can run right up to the edge of the promenade, cutting out a sizeable chunk of the shore-to-shore journey time.
Hovercrafts need a redesign. They're loud and look more like industrial equipment. They should be more powerful and luxurious, like a yacht.
It looks bagasse. Nothing wrong with how it looks.
