The Australian Offshore Superboat Championship (AOSC) will make waves when it reaches Wyndham on February 22-23.

Five classes of boats will break speeds of more than 220km/h in action-packed aquatic excellence.

Two different performance groups compete across three 30 minutes races across two days of competition (six 30-minute races in total).

A free way to get the adrenaline pumping, visitors will see multiple Australian champions duke it out against teams with World Championship credentials on the sea.

The likes of the ‘Boost Mobile’ ‘222 Offshore’ machine driven by Darren Nicholson who competes in the USA and the Middle East will showcase the nautical mastery.

More than 20 teams from across the country will race these sleek machines, which are some of the most powerful offshore racing boats to ever grace the seven seas.

AOSC Club Commodore and reigning Supercat Outboard AUS#1 Antony De Fina said the event was a spectacle in and of itself.

“For the fans, an event like this allows them to get up close to the boats and the teams, and with static displays of cars and boats at the event,” he said.

“It brings the eyes of the world to Wyndham Harbour, the event itself will be televised in a post-produced 60-minute television program that is released around the world to 600M homes.”

There are a number of great viewing options available and some areas of seating around Wyndham Harbour, but ideally for the best locations, people should take their own seating.
