Description

Context The banana boat is a popular recreational water activity offered in Palma Bay, located along the coast of El Arenal. This area is known for its calm, turquoise waters, making it ideal for safe and accessible rides. The season runs from May to September, with frequent departures every 15 minutes between noon and 8:00 PM. The breeze carries the scent of salt and seaweed, while the sun warms the fine sand of the beach.

The Experience After receiving your life jacket and helmet, you’ll board the banana boat with your group—up to 12 people. The boat is towed at a moderate speed, bouncing over small waves and occasionally sending riders into the refreshing water. Wind brushes your face, and laughter and shouts of excitement fill the air during the 10- or 30-minute journey. The constant sensation of speed and contact with the sea makes this a lively and memorable outing.

For Whom This activity is ideal for families with children over 10 years old when accompanied by an adult, groups of friends seeking fun on the water, and couples looking for a light, enjoyable experience. It is not suitable for people with reduced mobility, children under 10, or those who cannot swim.

Local Context El Arenal Yacht Club is a well-known hub for water sports in Palma. The local community continues to support maritime traditions and provides complementary tourism services such as dining options and coastal walking routes.
