Antigua Powerboating
Powerboating with Adventure Antigua
Whether it’s your first time to Antigua, or you’re a regular visitor to this jewel of the Caribbean you’ll want to see as much of this island as possible. Adventure Antigua’s Xtreme Circumnav is a breathtaking way to see the entire beautifully rugged coastline.
The Xtreme Cricumnav is one of four tours offered by Adventure Antigua. This is definitely the one to take if you like the thrill of speed. This tour like all the Adventure Antigua Tours was designed by Eli Fuller, a third generation Antiguan and former Olympian. Eli is the founder of Adventure Antigua and is passionate about the island he grew upon. Eli often is the skipper on the Xtreme and like all of the other skippers grew up spending more time on the water than on land. You cant find better guides on the island.
Starting from the north shore of Antigua you’ll board the 45 foot offshore racing boat. This boat is designed for speed and has a top speed of 40mph. As you tour the 365 beach coastline of Antigua you’ll feel the wind in your hair for sure. The family run company warns that the five mile stretch from Stingray City to the lunch time stop on Green Island can be a little bumpy. This is the tour for the “young at heart” not the “faint of heart”.
Don’t let the speed fool you, you are still going to see many of the great sights Antigua has to offer. From the guided history tour of Nelson’s Dockyard to the snorkel trip at the awe inspiring Pillars of Hercules and beach combing along the fabulous Rendezvous Bay. At Stingray City you’ll have the chance to swim with these graceful creatures. There’ll be a photographer on hand to snap a memento of this exciting swim so you’ll have something to show the folks back home. If you haven’t already fallen in love with Antigua be ready to one Green Island, where you’ll take a break from the fast paced tour and enjoy a castaway style buffet lunch.
You can watch a video of the Xtreame Circumnav on Eli’s website, if that doesn’t put you in the mood for an Antigua holiday then nothing will. The powerboat has a look of Miami Vice about it as it skims the wave tops. Thanks to Eli keeping the numbers on the tours deliberately low you get this wonderful intimate feeling on the tour. Relaxing among new friends in beautiful surroundings all with a touch of luxury and style, there is no better way to enjoy your Antigua holiday.
