banana boat

Ice cream dessert

A banana boat is an inflatable watercraft towed behind a motorboat, shaped like a curved yellow banana and ridden by several passengers straddling it in a row: We rode the banana boat until someone fell off.

The term also refers to a dessert—a banana split served in the hollowed fruit—and historically to cargo ships transporting bananas from tropical regions.
