If you are one for action on the water, then you had better not miss out on the second F1 Powerboat Water Festival.
Taking place at St Helena Bay Harbour over Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March, Dino Nunes, one of the organisers said following last year’s electrifying debut, the festival returns with even bigger ambitions “to boost tourism, promote the high-speed sport of F1 powerboat racing and to offer an unforgettable weekend of action-packed entertainment.”
The idea behind the Water Festival came from Veldriwwer Morne Herholdt, who himself is a powerboat champion. Last year’s event saw 2 350 spectators making their way to the harbour to witness the action.
Nunes said this year the festival promises live F1 powerboat races and supporting class inflatable boats, featuring world-class drivers navigating the challenging waters at breathtaking speeds.
“Spectators can expect tight turns, roaring engines and heart-stopping finishes, as competitors battle for supremacy on the water.”
Guests can also look forward to many food stalls, live entertainment, family-friendly activities and interactive exhibits.
“Not only is it an opportunity to showcase this exhilarating sport, but it also creates a platform for local businesses, musicians and food vendors to thrive.
Gates open at 08:00 and tickets cost R120 for adults and R55 for children. Tickets from www.weskustickets.co.za or at the gate.
