BANANA BOAT RIDES FOR ages 6 & up ⸻

Guaranteeing You Have a Banana Blast!

A banana boat ride consists of an inflatable double banana with handles that you hold onto as a jet ski pulls you through Destin's emerald-green water. Watch out; part of the fun is falling off of the banana! But don't worry, you are fitted with a life jacket, and we pick you up for more fun! We take only your group out at a time, so you get a personalized trip.


What's included:


  • Six-passenger Banana Boat
  • Life Jackets
  • U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Captain
  • Spectacular fun!

EDUCATIONAL FUN FOR all ages AND SKILL LEVELS ⸻

Personalized and Informative Catamaran Snorkeling Tours

Come snorkel the crystal-blue waters of Destin, Florida, where dolphins, crabs, sea turtles, tropical fish, and magical seahorses await you! Snorkel the East Jetties of Destin Pass or go out on a sandbar in Choctawhatchee Bay. We snorkel in the Gulf at other marine hot spots as well.


Take a trip aboard our 30-foot, stable, double-hulled catamaran sailboat, sure to keep you from getting seasick on your sailing adventure! Rest assured, our U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain is trained in snorkeling and free diving techniques to help you get the most out of your trip. A small group means personalized attention to welcome all levels of swimmers and no bumping into each other! Book the whole boat for your group, or grab another family at your condo and have a customized snorkeling adventure to remember! All ages are welcome.

  • 2-6 Hour Trips
  • The only small group tour! (up to 6 passengers)
  • Sanitized swim fins, masks, and snorkels are included.
  • Ice-filled chest included. Just add your drinks!
  • Wireless stereo and high-def speaker system
  • Lavatory on board
  • Plenty of storage for personal items
  • GoPro and underwater camera rentals are available.
  • What's unique about our snorkeling excursions?

    We monitor tide tables. This gives you the best chance at clear water to see wildlife better.


    Not one size fits all. We aren't limited to a couple of shallow snorkel spots where everyone else snorkels. Our small group size allows us free range of the Gulf of Mexico as well as the deeper Choctawhatchee Bay marine hot spots. Sometimes the regular grass beds and jetties are great, but sometimes it looks like pond water. Why stay there?


    We are adventurous locals who love what we do! We put together tours that we are totally proud of and that continue to awe us with the amazing sea life of Destin. Then, we bring the adventure to you!


    We group activities according to your level of swimming ability and preference. You can do several challenging spots, mix it up for more relaxation, or keep it shallow for the little ones.


    Not your regular group tour boat. Our Stiletto Catamaran is the ultimate speed sailing boat, lightweight and responsive to winds, with a great layout for relaxing. The added experience of utilizing the wind's natural power makes this the best ecological tour available!


    You have the captain's full attention so the excursion belongs to you. There are no set routes or predetermined stops. At Captain Jambo's, we do small group tours tailored to your family and friends!

Epic Parasailing Adventures for the Entire Family

Believe it or not, parasailing is a great way to relax, with the wind in your ears, the expanse of sky enveloping you, and Destin's beautiful, emerald green water below. The relaxation is matched only by the exhilaration of being airborne, giving you a whole new perspective. Soar 500 feet in the air with the seagulls and pelicans. From this bird's-eye view, you are likely to spot tarpon, sharks, cobia, sea turtles, and dolphins! So come, enjoy the crystal waters, Destin style!


The trip includes embarkment from the beach to the parasail boat, take-off and landing on the boat deck, utilizing a smooth hydraulic winch system, as well as:
