Overview
We have been in business for 40 years providing Family Fun on South Padre Island. We are the only company to banana boat Oceanside and Bayside (weather permitting). Your USCG licensed Captain and Crew are always there to assure a fun, safe ride. Banana Boating is a fun way to enjoy the views and experience seeing dolphins and all sorts of sea life. This activity is fun for the whole family. YES, you will get wet and probably fall off a couple time, it's just part of the ride. What a great way to cool off after some time in the sun.
