FORT MYERS BEACH BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Hold On: A Wet, Whooping 20 Minutes on a Banana Boat at Fort Myers Beach
A 20-minute, tow‑style banana boat ride for up to six people operated by All Island Watersports — this guide unpacks where to meet, safety requirements, and what to expect on the water.
Hold On: A Wet, Whooping 20 Minutes on a Banana Boat at Fort Myers Beach.
From a low-slung boarding point on Fort Myers Beach you and your group strap into a buoyant, inflatable ‘banana,’ clip on provided life vests, and let a powered boat pull you across warm coastal water for an energetic 20 minutes of turns, splashes and laughter. The ride is built for small groups and families—six people at a time—so it’s short, social, and designed to deliver a compact rush without a lot of fuss.
