Is It a Rocket or a Boat? World Speed Record from US to Cuba In 90Minutes

In initial test drives, The APACHE STAR has achieved speeds in excess of 115 knots, and even faster speeds may be seen when it attempts to set the world record for the fastest crossing between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba on August 1, 2015.

The APACHE STAR is the most famous Deep-V offshore Kevlar and carbon fiber race boat in history. Originally named APACHE HERITAGE, the boat broke multiple records and won world championships in 1992 and 1993 while writing powerboat history as the first sit-down Deep-V in the world.

Following more than 7,000 hours of painstaking work to refurbish the boat to as-new condition, The APACHE STAR once again wears it’s famed Number 50 in anticipation of it’s new world record attempt. Modern upgrades to the boat include new custom-made helmets and Recaro racing bucket seats that utilize technologies developed for next-generation fighter jets, plus twin Mercury Racing bi-turbo engines that generate a combined total of 2,700 horsepower.
