A Boynton Beach landmark since 1978, Banana Boat is exactly what “authentic Florida experience” looks like after nearly 50 years of refining the formula. On the Intracoastal Waterway with 250 feet of boat dockage, a sprawling multi-level outdoor deck, and live music every weekend, this family-owned institution draws equal parts locals and visitors who keep coming back for the Macadamia Yellowtail Snapper, Surf ‘n’ Turf Nachos, and Crispy Lobster Lettuce Wraps — all enjoyed while watching the boat traffic drift by. Daily happy hour Monday through Saturday from 4–7 PM, a lively Sunday brunch, and a warm, consistent staff have made this a multi-generational South Florida classic. When Boynton Beach was a quiet fishing village and nobody had heard of Tequesta, Banana Boat was already pouring cold ones on the waterway.
