Driving any hovercraft is an exciting and unique experience.  You will notice there is a weird floating sensation while sitting or driving a hovercraft.

For the small hovercraft:

When you first sit on your hovercraft you must balance yourself so that your weight is evenly distributed.  Ask a friend to give you a push and you will soar down any smooth or flat surface.  A gym is an excellent surface.

For the large hovercraft:

Start up the lifting engine on your craft.  The skirt should inflate and the hovercraft is now floating.  Start the propulsion engine and let it idle.  Go ahead and sit on your craft and try to evenly distribute your weight; this will help control the craft.  Go ahead and grab a hold of the handles and gun the throttle.  You should feel the hovercraft picking up speed. 

Remember controlling your hovercraft can be tricky.  You may turn the craft but you still may be floating straight.  It takes a bit of practice to get this down so be sure to test it out in an open area.  Leaning side to side also helps turn the craft.

If you wish to ride on water simply ride onto the water as you would any other surface just use a bit more caution.

To stop the craft you can rotate the craft around 180 degrees and give it full thrust, or you can lean far to one side, which will make the skid plates contact with the ground, thus slowing you down.
