The Hov Pod Hovercraft is weight dependent and the craft has been tested to take up to 225 Kg (495 pounds) or 325 Kg (716 pounds) on water, or up to 30% more weight from a land start. We recommend the Hov Pod Hovercraft as a 2+ model where each owners individual circumstances will dictate exactly how many people can be carried (it could vary from 2 large to 4 small people). Many small hovercraft have difficulties starting on water, so please refer to our Buyers Guide to understand “Getting over Hump” a hovercraft term used to describe starting on water. Be sure to check manufacturers payload specification for starting on water – many can’t, some even sink!
