COME WITH US TO DELIVER AN IGUANA IN HERM ISLAND

February 28, 2024

The delivery of an Iguana is always an exceptional moment, whether it is for us who see one of our new vessels leaving, but also for the customer who finally sees their unique new boat with a mix of performance and technology.

For each delivery, regardless of its location, an Iguana representative is present on-site to ensure the boat’s condition and complete final procedures. Delivering a boat is a delicate step because preserving its condition is our priority for us. This time, the delivery was made to Herm Island, which is connected to UK territory in the Channel Islands to deliver an Iguana Commuter.

AN EPIC JOURNEY TO HERM ISLAND

The boat was trucked to the French port of Dielette to have the best geographical conditions to head towards the Channel Islands despite the winter weather condition.

It normally takes 1h15 to reach the first stop: Guernsey. However, it was longer this time with fairly complex navigation conditions. During winter, navigating in the Northern Hemisphere becomes challenging due to adverse weather conditions. As our priority was the safety of the boat, we took all necessary precautions to ensure a smooth crossing. Although we encountered severe weather while leaving the French coast, we were fortunate enough to have favorable weather conditions when we arrived at the Channel Islands, which allowed us to complete the journey without any further difficulties. You can see some photos of the trip below.

We had to pass through customs on the island of Guernsey due to our French nationality and the required boat papers. The time between this mandatory process and arriving at the stunning Isle of Herm is only 15 minutes. This beautiful island is an ideal destination for the amphibious capabilities of the Iguana boats, making it a perfect playground for adventure-seekers.

THE SPECIAL USE CASE OF THE PRIVATE ISLAND OF HERM

Herm Island is a unique and special place. It covers an area of 200 ha and nearly 60 residents live there year-round. Although it is a magnificent place, the terrain can be challenging for outsiders to navigate. It is one of the most difficult islands to access due to the numerous rocks and strips of sand, which is handicapping for all other boats. The client was unable to construct infrastructure to mooring his boat near his home. The Iguana was the solution that satisfied our customer’s needs for daily use throughout the year.

THE BESPOKE IGUANA COMMUTER FOR HERM ISLAND

The Iguana Commuter is the most technologically advanced Iguana of the range. For this client in particular, there are several features such as 6 seats which are more comparable to car seats than to a boat bench seat. You should also know that the usefulness of this boat is daily, it can be compared to a car with the objective of responding to everyday tasks. With an Iguana, it is possible to easily travel to Guernsey to go shopping or to explore the French coasts which are only about 1 hour away.
