Let's see how big you can possible smile. Board our speed boat located in the Destin Harbor and take a quick tour of the harbor and East Pass as we make our way to open waters by Crab Island. Then climb onto the inflatable banana shaped tube and prepare for the most fun you can possible have. A wet and wild ride or a phenomenal tour of the beautiful Destin waters. Your choice. The crew will provide service like you have never experienced and truly care about being a positive memory for you and your friends or family. Great for all ages. High quality photos available that are great for Facebook friends. Around 50-75 HQ photos available for all riders to download. We are located behind Electric Cowboy on the Destin Harbor. 314 Highway 98 (Harbor Blvd) « less

I found them on tripadvisor, and man were we glad to have found them. I was a bit worried about my kids (10 & 8) falling off which they did but Chris and Clay always kept a watchfull eye and stopped so we could get back on. My daughter mentioned that she wanted to see some dolphin so after the... More

We had such a great time this morning riding the banana boat. You guys are awesome! Don't be afraid to take your kids. I was worried about my 6 year old daughter being able to hold on, but she was fine...I on the other hand fell off three times! But that's all part of the fun! We would definitely recommend.... More

Mr. Brewer, I am so happy to see your review. I am glad we went in the morning so the water was calmer and I think that is the key with younger kids. It all went awesome and I appreciate your business. Please come back to see us soon. Chris More

Today (8-23-11) we went for the banana boat ride with Chris and Clay and had by far the best time ever. These two guys definitely know how to show you a great time. They made sure everyone was having a great time and was comfortable with what they did on the banana boat. These two guys know the area very... More

We were looking for something to do on our last day in Destin. At the last minute Chris made it very easy to book our family. We had all ages going and every single one of them had a blast! It's pretty hard to entertain and impress teenagers but Chris and his banana boat ride hit it right on the... More

My daughter is excited she got a shout out on Trip Advisor. You made her day. Thanks for the good words. It is hard for families or groups with various ages to find an activity that everyone is happy with. Ta Da! Mobile Sports Banana Boat Rides. Glad they all had fun. Come back soon to do it again.

My boyfriend and I rode the Banana boat and we loved it! Chris and the guy driving the boat were both very friendly and seemed to actually care about what they were doing unlike some of the other staff we dealt with parasailing and at the waterpark. The banana boat ride was a great experience i would reccomend to anyone... More

I left the young folks to ride the banana at 10 on Thursday 8/11/11. They were so excited when they got back to the condo and couldn't quit talking about the fun they had. We anxiously awaited the photos to be sent - by that evening we had them and they are fabulous!! Thanks so much for the memories made... More

For 2 adults and 4 kids (ranging in age from 10 to 13), this was a blast. We went on a 45 minute adventure just outside Destin Harbor with a speed boat and an inflated, floating 'double banana' with capacity for six, but our four kids, being older, were able to fill the spots fine. The captain took everyone out... More

We had the most fun on the Banana Boat Ride! The crew if fabulous! They want you to have a memorable time! We have laughed at the pictures over and over. Chris takes at least 50 pictures and emails them to you for a small fee. Definitely worth it! Our kids are 16 and 19. They took friends with them... More
