Hovercraft (Air Cushion Vehicles)
Safety: The act of being safe means reducing exposure to unnecessary risks and being able to efficiently deal with emergency situations should they arise. Hovercraft operation may include passage to remote areas that are not readily accessible by conventional emergency service resources. Also, this may include operations into uncharted and/or fast moving water which adds greatly to the potential for an unplanned situation.
Generally, all law which applies to small boats will apply to the operation of hovercrafts. This include such issues as registration, personal flotation devices and fire extinguishers. It should also be noted that some states also now require that operator identification be carried on board. Remember, safty rules were developed to save lives.
Become familiar with marine right of way, most states offer manuals and/or courses in safe boat operation for little to no charge. See what the Georgia Department of Natural Resources offers its residents Click Here!.
About Hovercrafts
Hovercrafts fly on a cushion of air; gliding across the sea, lakes,
rivers, grassland, marsh, sand, snow and ice! Hovercrafting is, in my opinion, kind of like a cross between boating
and flying. You actually fly on a cushion of air above the water when hovercrafting.
Imagine owning a hovercraft for leisure,
hovercraft technology makes leisure fun. A Hovercraft is an incredibly versatile, highly exciting and thrillingly
different craft.
Hovercrafting in Georgia
Georgia contains an estimated 20,000 miles of rivers and streams.
Boating Education - You can take a boating education course in a classroom setting with the Department of Natural Resources, the United States Coast Guard, or the United States Power Squadrons.

Chattooga River
"The Chattooga is a tributary of Weiss Reservoir. It originates near Lafayette and meanders about 51 miles southwest. A narrow river
channel with numerous hazards makes most of the river floatable only by canoe or small boat. Large prop and jet boats can navigate
the river below Ga. Hwy. 27 with caution."

Hovercraft Regulations
Hovercrafting is a relatively new recreational activity so there is no legislative body governing hovercraft. "For the most part, hovercraft are self-regulated by the Hoverclub of America." - Hoverclub of America
