We booked a banana boat ride during our vacation in Destin, and it ended up being the most fun activity of our entire trip. The Captain and First Mate were professional, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The ride started and ended right on time, and the experience was absolutely worth the money. My family had such a great time, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for an exciting and memorable adventure in Destin!

The banana boat ride was pure joy from start to finish! Fast, bumpy, and filled with laughter—we were holding on for dear life and loving every second. It’s the perfect mix of thrill and comedy, especially when you all go flying into the water! The guides kept it safe but made sure we had a wild ride. Great for friends, families, or anyone ready to scream and splash.

The captain was super and assistant were super personable. The problem was that he threw us off the banana boat several times. He did tell us that we would eventually end up in the water but I went in three times! He flipped the whole banana boat the last time so that everyone fell off. With everyone on the water, we all bumped into each other and two people in my party left injured. We also had three kids in our party and although they could all swim, dumping them in 20-30 ft. of water was worrisome.

Falling off was naturally part of the fun. Our captain and his helper gal, wow!! What a smile!! Very friendly!! Highly recommend reserving a day in advance!

My family of 3 went out with another group of 3 and Captain Cody let us know he had a 100% rate of dunking everyone for the day and our journey would be no different. While I personally ended up in the water multiple times, as did four others, my 11 year old son held on for dear life. He is still talking about how much fun he had and how he proved Captain Cody wrong! We had a great time, thanks a lot Cody!
