No regulations atall.
Simply buy/build one and go play with it like you would with a jetski/small boat.
There is the hovercraft club of great britain you can join if you wish.
I built a large 4 man craft about 5 years ago and played with it on various beaches

The accident happened in NZ, although that does not invalidate the question. I believe that tegwin is correct about amateur hovercraft. The commercial ones were run under requirements administered by the Marine Safety Agency, although there are few, if any, left.
