The banana boat in Blanes leaves from s'Abanell beach and costs 20 € per adult and 15 € per child aged 4 to 12, in two versions at the same price: the classic banana, where someone always ends up in the water, and the double banana, which is far steadier. Blanes is 10 minutes from Lloret de Mar.
Both last 20 minutes, need no previous experience at all and take children from age 4, with the life jacket included. It is the way into the towed inflatables on this beach, the ride most people try first.
On the classic banana you sit astride in a row, the speedboat pulls and the game is holding on through the turns without falling. Nobody lasts the full 20 minutes: it is the one to pick when the group wants a dunking and a laugh.
The double banana has two floats side by side instead of one, so it tracks straight the whole way and falling off is the exception. Same price and the same 20 minutes; it is the option with small children, mixed groups or anyone who climbs on wary and would rather laugh than get soaked.
Both bananas are booked with instant confirmation: you pick the day and time, pay online and receive the pass with its QR code straight away, which is what you show on the beach from your phone. There is nobody to wait for.
Cancelling is free up to 24 hours before on most listings; the exact deadline for each one is written on its page before you pay. If several of you go, each person takes their own rate: ages 4 to 12 pay the child rate.
From age 4, life jacket included. Children aged 4 to 12 pay 15 € and adults 20 €. With small children the double banana is the one to pick: it has two floats side by side, tracks straight and hardly anyone falls off.
Each ride lasts 20 minutes and leaves from the shore at s'Abanell beach in Blanes, 10 minutes from Lloret de Mar. No experience needed: you sit in a row, the speedboat pulls and holding on is the only job.
Stability. The classic is a single float and someone always ends up in the water on the turns; the double has two side by side and tracks straight, so falling off is the exception. Same price, same 20 minutes and same beach.
