Edox Miss Geico Guests Have Time of Their Lives on Full Throttle Boat Ride with Marc Granet

As the driver of 210 mph Miss Geico Mystic, one of the most successful boats in offshore powerboat racing history, Marc definitely knew how to give his guests the ride of their life. Serendipitously, the Miss Geico Mystic was actually out on the water during the cigarette boat ride, so the guests had a unique opportunity to view and photograph the powerful turbine-powered craft up close.

An Unfortunate Occurrence

Sadly, the Mystic hit a wave the wrong way during the Michigan City event and had to withdraw from the race due to hull damage. The Geico team expects to have Miss Geico Mystic repaired and back in full racing form before the Edox-Miss Geico Long Island race event, August 26-28.
