Banana Boat in Abruzzo

Costa dei Trabocchi
In ACQUA

Fun Tour off the Vasto Coast, riding a 5-seat Banana Boat towed at moderate speed by a motorboat.

The Banana Boat is an unpowered inflatable boat designed to be towed by another boat. The “banana” is supported by two smaller tubes that provide balance and footrests.

Enjoy the thrill of exhilarating speed close to the water, with the wind in your hair and the waters of the Trabocchi coast rushing beneath you. Once everyone is on board the Banana Boat, the motorboat pilot begins to accelerate; hold on tight as the boat pulls you or you might just slip into the water! Keeping your balance will not always be easy, especially when crossing waves and making jumps. A joy for children and adults, it’s the ideal group activity to do with friends and family.

A nice ride on the Banana Boat is not only an extremely fun and playful activity but also a good way to improve your health. It strengthens muscles, particularly the arms and abs, especially when trying to maintain balance. Additionally, being a high-adrenaline activity, it helps burn calories, increases blood circulation, bringing more oxygen to your body and aiding in the elimination of toxins.

We will start from the beach of Vasto where, in a seaside restaurant, you can enjoy excellent meat or fish menus, including vegan or gluten-free options (we recommend booking restaurant services in advance at 3497038711)
