No, everyone on a banana boat ride does not need to know how to swim, but everyone wears a life jacket because falling into the Gulf is possible. Blue Sky Watersports runs the 7 to 10min Family Fun Banana Boat Ride for up to 6 people near Gulf State Park Pier, and the operator makes the final call for anyone who is not comfortable in open water.
