Hovercraft USA in Tampa Bay, Hillsborough County, United States | Charters

After much planning, building, moving and moving again, Hovercraft USA established a home on the South side of the Pelican parking lot at The Pier in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.

From our custom built Hoverport, we were able to transport passengers to Egmont Key and back in fully air-conditioned comfort aboard the most unique transportation vehicle in the Bay Area.

This marvel of technology provides a smooth as glass ride in seas up to 3 feet. Since the entire hovercraft rides on a cushion of air a mere 18 to 20 inches above the water, it glides over chop and boat wakes like they don't exist. This, combined with the use of Biodiesel fuel, makes the hovercraft one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transportation on the water today.

Piloted by highly trained, certified ACV captains, trips were pleasant and informative. With a knowledgeable guide on every trip to point out historic sites along the way, even commuter trips felt like a pleasure cruise.

Charter service was available to just about anywhere in the Tampa Bay!

Finally, a commercial hovercraft service in the United States.
