Seakart is a high-speed, inflatable watercraft adventure, combining the excitement of jet skiing and speed boating, where you self-drive under the guidance of a licensed instructor. Introduced in India in 2020, it’s exclusive to Port Blair and one of only three global destinations offering this activity (after Mauritius and Dubai). Here’s a detailed overview based on the latest information:

What is Seakart?
