SMOKY MOUNTAIN JET BOAT BUILDING LLC ANNOUNCES
Customized Jet Boats Now Available
AND purchasers have the
opportunity to operate a Jet Boat Rides business!
Imagine being one of the first in your region to offer the newest adventure water sport – Jet Boating. Established in New Zealand, for over 30 years, jet boating has proven to be a safe and profitable venture. Smoky Mountain Jet Boats is proud to have teamed up with one of the premier operators and designers to bring this exciting technology to the U.S.
These state-of-the-art aluminum boats equipped with three rails for passengers to hold onto, ride like a ski on the surface of the water. With only four inches of draft they have the unique ability to do a Hamilton spin - a flat spin within the boat’s own length. The maneuverability of these craft is a special feature.
The ride is a combination adrenaline buzz of white-water rafting with Nascar® racing. The New Zealand style of driving ensures passengers have a safe thrilling ride – and best of all – it’s suitable for all ages.
Purchase of our Coast Guard approved boats includes advice on logistics, customer service and merchandizing.
