Banana Boat Ride in Dubai
Grab on with the whole group and race across the Arabian Gulf on an inflatable banana towed behind a Yamaha — salty spray, sharp turns, and skyline views of Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab.
Ask usThe banana boat is a group ride built for laughing, not just riding: up to five people straddle an XXL inflatable banana, strapped in with safety belts and strong tow ropes, while a Yamaha tow boat pulls you across the water at speed. It's fast, splashy, and every bit as fun for kids as it is for the adults holding on next to them.
Everyone gets a life jacket and a harness, and your instructor runs through the safety guidelines before you set off, so the group knows exactly what to expect once the boat picks up speed.
The ride departs from JBR, near Bulgari Bay or Burj Al Arab, with the Dubai skyline as your backdrop the whole way. It's booked as an add-on to a yacht charter, timed for before sunset — ask your booking manager to build it into your itinerary.

Discretion is part of the service
Many of our guests charter privately and expect the day to stay private. We treat that as a condition of the booking, not an extra: what is arranged on board, who is on board and what is discussed there stays between you and your manager.
On request we select the crew and service staff to your criteria, and brief them before you sail. Tell your manager what matters — language, gender of the service team, dress, whether staff remain on deck or step back between courses — and it is arranged before you arrive rather than negotiated in front of your guests.
