A jet boat excursion provider has teamed up with Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville to offer a combination half-day tour and restaurant experience for customers.

The tour, dubbed the JetBoat Escape to Margaritaville, begins with a 45-minute to one-hour boat tour on Bahamas JetBoat and ends with a two-hour stop at the Paradise Island restaurant.

"We have had customers inquire about food options with the Bahamas Jet Boat tour," said Bahamas JetBoat manager Davia Saunders.

"So we are extremely pleased to be able to cater to a wider audience -- those who are looking for a half-day tour that has everything included -- fun and excitement, food, drinks and a party."

Bahamas JetBoat is a high-speed water ride that can be enjoyed by individuals and the family. The boat tours depart from Elizabeth on Bay Marketplace & Marina, and visits several spots along the northern shores of New Providence, Athol Island and Paradise Island.

Guests are dropped off at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, and transportation is provided back to Bahamas JetBoat after lunch.

"This combination of an exciting JetBoat ride and a fun poolside lunch at Margaritaville is the kind of thing that our visitors and local guests want for an unforgettable three hours," Mrs Saunders said. "The JetBoat Escape to Margaritaville tour gives a customer everything they need to have an amazing time."

Tours can be booked online and more information is available at the company's web site at bahamasjetboat.com.
