Banana Boat

The one that ends with everyone in the water

Thirty minutes of towed chaos — the cheapest laugh on the bay.

30 minfrom$69Ages 5+

Everyone straddles an inflatable, the boat takes up the slack, and the only real question is how long the group stays on before somebody goes sideways and takes the rest with them. Thirty minutes, from age five, priced per rider — which is why it's the standard move for families and for groups who want one thing everybody can do together regardless of how brave they are. Falling off is not the failure state, it's the entire point. We run it in the protected water off Dinner Key, so the surface is smooth enough for it to be funny rather than jarring.

Frequently asked

Are we going to end up in the water?
Almost certainly, and that's the idea. Tell the captain if you'd rather stay on and they'll drive gently — or ask them to try and tip you, which is what most groups want.
What's the minimum age?
Five, with an adult on the tube. Everyone wears a vest and the captain matches the pace to whoever is youngest aboard.
How many of us fit?
Groups of up to six ride comfortably. Larger parties go in back-to-back rotations so nobody sits it out.
