The popular water attraction D Boat has moved to the neighbouring island of St. Maarten, according to reports.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It will be stationed at the famous Simpson Bay known for its influx of visitors.<\/p>\n

The boat reportedly left Antigua two weeks ago and is undergoing repairs to open in time for the winter season in St. Maarten.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The owner Scott Tom is reported as saying that business in Antigua’s off-season had become very slow.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He also said the size of the market and the monopoly in the cruise sector meant that the company was only able to break even.<\/p>\n

D Boat operated\u00a0off Maiden Island\u00a0for about four years and at its peak employed eight people.<\/p>
