The Miss GEICO offshore powerboat racing team was founded by John Haggin, who retired from the team in 2010. Today Miss GEICO is owned and operated by AMF Riviera Beach which is owned by Marc Granet, Scotty Begovich, Scott Colton, Gary Stray, Gary Goodell and sponsored by the American insurance company GEICO. There have been several versions of the Miss GEICO boat, including one of the fastest offshore powerboats in the world. The most powerful was a 50' Mystic powered by twin Lycoming T-53 turbine engines, reaching speeds exceeding 210 mph (340 km/h); which caught fire during testing on June 30, 2012, in Sarasota, Florida, and burned to the waterline, with no injuries.
When driven by Granet and throttled by Begovich, Miss GEICO won five consecutive World Championships, in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
In 2020, Travis Pastrana and British offshore racer Steve Curtis crewed the boat.
Miss GEICO officially retired from offshore powerboat racing in August 2021 due to the withdrawal of its main sponsor, GEICO.[1]
