Tuesday January 5th, 2011 - St. George’s
Grenada: One of Grenada’s leading
tour operators, Banana Boat Tours and
Shadow Fax, has added a new fleet to its
adventure tour package, giving visitors
and locals alike greater options when
embarking on coast line sight-seeing
cruises around Grenada.
The new
addition, dubbed Clarke’s Court BBQ
Donut Boats, was officially launched on
early in December during a short
ceremony at The Lagoon in St George.
Operations
Manager of Banana Boat Tours, Pierre
Jean Spinosi stated that he welcomed the
addition to the Banana fleet and feels
confident the new Donut boats would not
only add to the service they provide,
but would offer persons quality when out
on a cruise.
Pierre Jean
added that after five years of service
to Grenada, offering both land and sea
tours, they felt it was time to welcome
new products and new activities to the
operation, and therefore, views the
Donuts as the ideal investment arriving
at the right time for the 2010 tourist
season.
With the
Donuts, Pierre Jean remarked, visitors
can get a ninety-minute cruises for a
minimal price, while enjoying a
selection of Clarke’s Court products,
BBQ and other finger foods.
Pierre Jean
added that prior to the launch, he had
been getting tremendous response from
locals and, therefore, decided that
there would be a social party for
Grenadians and students wishing to use
the boats for birthdays, weddings and
other specially organised cruises.
Each boat
caters for a maximum of nine persons and
tour prices depends on the type of
cruise one wants to embark on.
Grenada
Distillers Limited, blenders, bottlers
and distributors of Clarke’s Court
products, has partnered with Banana Boat
Tours to keep the boat afloat, and
according to General Manager of the
Grenada Distillers Limited, Fred
Antoine, Grenada Distillers Limited is
pleased to be associated with the
initiative and views it as positive
addition to the country’s tourism
product.
Mr Antoine
said his company did not hesitate when
approached to be a part of the move,
since they viewed it as another
opportunity for visitors to better enjoy
the beauty of Grenada, while at the same
time sampling Grenada’s number one rum -
Clarke’s Court.
The boats
are managed by German national, Ingo
Kamm, the man responsible for getting
them into Grenada. According to Kamm,
it is the first time the boats are being
used outside Germany, with Grenada being
the first country in the English
speaking Caribbean to add Donuts to its
tourism product.
Ingo Kamm
added the judging from the type of
reception they have had in Europe and
the US, he is confident the Donuts would
be great in Grenada. |
