An inflatable boat similar to the shape of a banana is used for Banana Boat Rides in Goa. This boat is connected to a speed boat. Around 4 to 6 people can be accommodated in one banana boat. The boat throws off the passengers as soon as the speed boat races across the sea. Sometimes, you would find yourself being flung into the water even before you have hardly started off the beach. After being thrown into the sea, the passengers pull themselves back into the banana boat and start afresh. Banana Boat Rides in Goa are a repetitive process of getting flung into the sea and then hauling yourself back to the banana boat. Safety jackets are compulsory if you know to swim.
