Speed Boat

Speed Boats

A speed boat is a fast motorboat, a kind of power boat that is propelled by an internal combustion engine. They can be hydrofoil or hydroplane which means they are equipped with hydrofoils that lift in order to skim the water when reaching high speeds. Speed boats are built to move quickly across the surface of the water. They are mainly used in speed races or for pulling water skiers.

Some choose to travel relatively small distances by speed boats because they reach their destinations more quickly. The disadvantage of actually traveling distances of hours or even days is that they become uncomfortable and they can only fit 3 or 4 people. What’s more, at the end of a long trip in a speed boat you will be drenched, so you should prepare accordingly. For some the noise is difficult to take, especially after a few hours. But then there are those who enjoy traveling in a speed boat for the special scenery and because you can take great photos, unlike in a slow boat where it can become utterly boring. In some regions with dense water traffic, speed boats are used as patrol boats.
