Drive a Lamborghini Across the Lagoon: Jet Car Tours Arrive in St. Maarten
"When was the last time you took a green Lamborghini and drove through the waters of a Caribbean lagoon?"
"Rarely," you respond.
"Never," I assert.
Jet cars modeled on famous cars are the latest on-the-water excitement in St. Maarten. Besides the Lamborghini, there are Jeeps and Rolls-Royces. These super-fast watercraft are moored at Feest Cafe on the Golden Mile of Welfare Road/Airport Road in Simpson Bay.
Behind the wheel, it feels like a car. On the water, it handles like a jet ski. A company captain drives, so no boating experience is needed. Groups of four to five passengers can go out when one guest holds a valid boat license.
The route takes in the luxury yacht marinas of the Simpson Bay Lagoon. It also passes the airport runway, so you can watch the planes come in.
Sessions run 15 minutes for $180, 30 minutes for $250, or one hour for $400, and custom groups can be arranged. Book online at jetcartoursxm.com.
Bring your phone. A Lamborghini in the lagoon makes the kind of photo your friends back home won't believe. Afterward, Feest Cafe is right at the dock for a cold drink and a few more pictures.
