Ocean City Banana Boat · Ocean City, Maryland

How do I hold on safely on a banana boat?

Answer

Grip the molded handles with both hands, feet braced wide, and expect sudden bounces—elbows loose, core tight. Remove loose jewelry and secure glasses with straps. Follow captain horn signals for slowdowns before sharp turns.
