Neoteric Rescue Hovercraft – The Industry Standard
First responders worldwide have recognized that the hovercraft is the only rescue vehicle able to perform fast, safe rescue operations on swift water, thin or broken ice, flood waters and snow. Because it safely hovers 9 inches above the terrain, a hovercraft keeps the rescue team above the danger – not in it – and gives rescuers access to areas a boat or helicopter cannot reach.

But the Neoteric Hovertrek-Rescue is not just another rescue hovercraft. Its unique capabilities have made it the industry standard. Neoteric's clientele now spans 50 nations and includes the U.S. Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security; National Parks Services; airport Police/Fire/EMS services; and Sheriff, Police and Fire Departments throughout the world.

The Only Rescue Hovercraft with Effective Brakes
In rescue operations, sometimes backing up is the only way out. Neoteric's patented reverse thrust system gives the Hovertrek-Rescue the unique ability to brake, hover in place, and back up at more than 25 mph. Neoteric is the only hovercraft manufacturer to offer this crucial feature. Our rescue hovercraft are also the lightest and quietest production hovercraft in the industry.

Hovercraft Rescue Equipment Options
The Hovertrek-Rescue is available with a wide array of features and rescue equipment options including stretcher mounts, light bars, searchlights, GPS systems, VHF marine radios, cold water immersion suits and life vests, throw bags and wireless communication headsets. Each Hovertrek-Rescue is built to customer specifications, and is guaranteed for its lifetime.

Free Pilot Training
Neoteric provides pilot training/certification and preventative maintenance instruction with each hovercraft. On-site flight training at our Terre Haute, IN location is free.





"Having the ability to traverse all types of terrain both safely and expediently truly makes this hovercraft a must-have piece of water rescue equipment."

Counterfeit Hovercraft Warning!

Matteo Passoni, Carlo Guido Passoni, and their start-up company Hi Tech International S.r.l. (HTI) of Italy, have counterfeited the patented Neoteric Hovertrek™ recreational, rescue and commercial hovercraft by stealing Neoteric’s patented designs and illegally splash molding the Hovertrek™ to produce inexpensive tooling. HTI is aggressively marketing these unreliable forgeries under names such as Hoverescue Model 425 and Hoverescue Model 525.

There is widespread concern in the hovercraft industry that HTI is threatening consumer safety by selling hovercraft with no track record, while plagiarizing Neoteric’s logo and web site text to fraudulently claim Neoteric’s 40-year history in hovercraft design and technology. HTI’s rescue hovercraft forgeries have serious problems such as exploding fans, and pose a danger to first responders and to those they are tasked to save.

To read how Hi Tech International perpetrated this theft - in their own words - and to understand the risks of utilizing HTI’s counterfeit hovercraft, we urge you to see the World Hovercraft Organization’s Hovercraft Ripoff Report
