A NEW IGUANA DELIVERY IN THE BAHAMAS

Trying an Iguana Yacht is adopting it! One of our clients in the Bahamas succumbed to it. After 3 months of hard work at the shipyard, the customer received it. An Iguana delivery is always an exciting moment! The whole work of our passionate workers is delivered by one or two of our representatives to the final owner. And you may also know this boat. You liked it a lot in the previous newsletter, it is the Blue Iguana Knight!

We take you with us for the stages of an Iguana delivery!

ARRIVAL OF THE BOAT IN MIAMI FROM THE SHIPYARD

Once the yacht was finished, it left the shipyard on a flattruck. Because we are selling our yachts on the international market, we are used to sending them abroad. To do so, we sent the boat to Le Havre International Harbor. 

From there the amphibious yacht did a 3-weeks trip to Miami. Then, an Iguana team on site was supervising the unloading with the customer. For the transportation, the Iguana Knight was on a 40 ft flat rack. At the marina, we launched the boat with a travel lift. 

INSPECTION OF THE BOAT WITH THE IGUANA TEAM

When the boat arrived, our team did a complete inspection of it. Plus, as it is a RIB boat, we needed to blow up the tubes and fill it up with fuel. 

Afterward, we did a briefing to explain the boat operation. We explained not only the tracks and the Iguana Mobility System but also the added equipment. That was quite quick, as our customer’s captain had come to our shipyard in Caen.

The next phase was the sea trials. We did speed, mechanic, and landing tests.

LAST STEP, CROSSING FROM MIAMI TO NASSAU

Once the papers are signed, the guarantee begins! Then, the captain sailed back to Nassau in the Bahamas, the final destination, from Florida. Everything went smoothly during the 1-day travel of the Iguana, it is reliable. That is why we are proud of our team’s meticulous work! 

We were able to shoot the Iguana in Miami & in the Bahamas. Here are some pictures.
