Panama City Beach Banana Boat Rides FAQs
Who can go on a Panama City Beach banana boat ride?
Almost anyone. It’s a fun ride and perfectly safe. The general rule is children as young as four can ride safely. Water conditions will sometimes dictate age considerations. Riders under 18 years of age must have parental consent and parents are welcome to come along. It’s great fun for the whole family. Our insurance regretfully precludes you from riding if you’re pregnant.
Where are you located?
Our banana boats can be found all along “The World’s Most Beautiful Beaches”. Come visit us in the sugar-white sands behind many of the most popular resorts, hotels and condos or check our locations page for complete details.
How fast will you go?
We can go as fast as you want that our Coast Guard certified Jet Ski operators feel will safely allow for the conditions. If water conditions are calm and there are no small children on board, hang on! You’re in for a wild ride. We’ll never exceed your comfort level.
What happens if I fall off?
Splashing off can be part of the fun. Our professionally trained operators always have your safety in mind and are able to handle any situation. Every rider is securely fitted with a life jacket so you’ll be safe in the water. We’ll pick you up right away and get you back to bouncing along the waves in no time.
How long is a banana boat ride?
We offer one, two and three mile rides but can customize trip options for your group.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We’ll never risk your safety. If conditions are too rough we don’t operate. If inclement weather prevents you from riding during your advance reservation time, you’ll be given priority status for rescheduling. If it’s not possible to reschedule, you’ll receive a full refund. We recommend booking all of your watersports adventures early during you stay to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the action.
What can I bring on the banana boat?
You can bring a waterproof camera if you like, but we recommend leaving the sunglasses and other objects on the beach.
Can you accommodate large groups?
Yes! A banana boat adventure is a great option for larger groups. Sports teams and church groups love this option. Let us know in advance and we can accommodate larger groups with multiple banana boats to help get everyone out on the water.
