WHY CHOOSE AN IGUANA FOR MY ISLAND?

March 23, 2021

What are the main advantages of having an Iguana on my island?

On your island, use your Iguana as your main means of transportation.

Having an Iguana on your island gives you the opportunity to commute to the mainland for supply provision. You can bring shopping from the mainland directly to your door avoiding multiple trips to and from your pontoon. The Iguana is definitely easier to use than a traditional boat, you can even collect visitors at the nearest airport and drop them directly on your island.

Take care of your island with an eco-friendly boat.

We know islands’ owners are attached to the beauty of their island. The Iguana is the perfect boat to enjoy the island while caring about it. Contrary to what people may think, the environmental impact of an Iguana is lower than a normal boat, requiring less in terms of logistics, material and unsightly infrastructure. There is no need for heavy infrastructure, no pontoon, no long stay in the water, no antifouling, no degradation of paint, no anchor ripping the underwater ground. Moreover, the pressure of the tracks on the ground equals the pressure of a man standing on one foot.

“With the Commuter I can leave right now, dressed as I am, it’s totally weather protected. The hard top coming up and down to make an enclosed cockpit is something the design team manhandled perfectly. No rain or sea water comes in.”

Is an Iguana as performant as a traditional boat?

Enjoy uncompromised performance at sea and mobility in all conditions.

The Iguana is designed to operate in challenging conditions year after year. With Iguana’s building techniques and cleverly integrated mobility system, the strength of the boat is actually increased and provides the operator with a secure driving feel and peace of mind. All this is achieved with no loss of performance. Once the tracks fold into the hull, the Iguana becomes a powerful boat equipped to navigate in all conditions. Feel free to navigate in all weather conditions (up to 4ft. waves) and land on any type of terrain.

Your Iguana becomes a part of your instant evacuation plan.

The Iguana Mobility System is also used on security and rescue boats. The Iguana glides over waves allowing you to vacate your island or complete supply runs when storms hit. It becomes part of your instant intervention plan for hurricane evacuation.

To which profiles is the Iguana adapted?

Personal use on my island

The Iguana is perfectly adapted to private islands because it offers the best way to commute to the mainland. It is also used by the owners to enjoy all parts of their island, to access secluded beaches and coves, and to transport guests whenever they want. The Iguana increases the sensation of freedom felt when leaving on a private island.

Guests experience on my island

The Iguana is the ideal boat for full guest experience islands. It can be offered as an activity in itself and also facilitates many other activities on the island.

For example, Eustatia is a full guest experience island offering ultimate privacy and guest experience, the stay includes watersport activities and the unique Iguana. The Iguana is operated for guest transfers, watersports and was used a few times as a first response boat to get injured guests to the medical facility.
