    Things to know

    Ages 5+ only. Guests under 18 need someone 18 or older at check-in to sign a participation waiver. Gratuity is customary for your crew (15–20%).

    Cancellation Policy

    Tickets are non-refundable. You can adjust dates and times with at least four hours notice. Full refund if the operator cancels due to severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances. No-shows are charged full price. If more than 50% is canceled after departure, you may get a partial refund for time lost.

    FAQs

    Wear a bathing suit and plan to get wet. Bring sunscreen and bottled water. If you wear glasses or sunglasses, use a strap or leave them on the boat when you board the banana.

    Leave shoes and towels at the dock (including water shoes). The boat has limited storage and there are no lockers, so leave valuables locked in your car.

    Bring one phone or camera if you want photos. The crew can take pictures using your phone and keep it safe on the boat; otherwise, leave electronics at the dock since you are out in salt water.

    Review summary

    This banana boat operation has clearly mastered the art of creating memorable water adventures in Ocean City. The crew consistently earns praise for being friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in giving everyone a great time. They check conditions before heading out and offer options between ocean or bay rides based on safety. What really sets them apart is their willingness to capture photos and videos using your own phone, so you get authentic action shots without paying for expensive photo packages. Many families mention the crew even lets riders jump off the main boat into the water while securing the banana boat, adding an extra thrill to the experience. The experience works for a surprisingly wide age range. One group ranged from 4 to 70 years old, with younger kids able to ride along as observers in the boat. Families return year after year, with one reviewer making it an annual tradition for seven consecutive years. The rides are legitimately thrilling with plenty of bouncing and opportunities to get tossed into the water, yet the crew adjusts intensity and positioning to keep it fun for everyone. Booking online is straightforward, and repeat customers genuinely can't wait to come back.
