The highspeed luxury catamaran passenger ferry was built by Kitsap Catamaran LCC in Seattle, Wa. in 2006 to very stringent USCG commercial passenger vessel standards at a finished cost of 3.8 million dollars (USD). The ferry was constructed of the finest composite materials available at the time. The two Caterpillar C32 main engines produce a combined 3100 horsepower and were selected for their low carbon emissions. Propulsion is provided by two HM521 Hamilton waterjets. The vessel was also designed very wide at 36 feet for its length over all (LOA) to provide a more stable ride in rough sea conditions. The ferry was delivered to its first home port of Long Beach, Ca. under the name “Marina Flyer” where it went into service to and from Catalina Island. It is the only way to get to Barbuda in Style.

sland Experience Tours Ltd.” (IET) was founded in 2019 to provide upscale fast public ferry transportation between the islands of Antigua and Barbuda. The formation of IET came about after its principal stakeholder was approached by the developer of the “Barbuda Ocean Club” www.barbudaoceanclub.com offering to subsidize the water bridge after careful analysis of what vessel would be best suited from an environmental perspective. Enter the M/V Island Escape for its low carbon emission engines, low wake at speed and shallow draft. Additionally, because the ferry is jet driven it does not present the same danger to marine life that propeller driven vessels have. It is IET’s promise to continue to strive to be the best ferry service in the West Indies for our patrons and to follow the same concern over the environment demonstrated by the “Barbuda Ocean Club”.
