Banana boat

A banana boat (or water sled), frequently referred to simply as a banana, is an uncovered recreational boat considered to be pulled by a larger boat. Riders sit astride a large tube which is support by two smaller tubes which give balance and footrests, allowing them to understanding some of the thrill of moving fast and close to the water much more easily and safely than by water-skiing or surfing and they are therefore a popular ride for children. Many large motor yachts or luxury yachts have a banana as one of their onboard "toys", but any powered boat can pull a banana, and they are sometimes available as a commercial ride at festival resorts. Most models seat among three and ten people. Double models with two seating tubes side by side are obtainable. Banana boats are often yellow and are sometimes actually molded into the shape of a banana.
