NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 12: Assistant Coach Reginald Horton #23 of the Savannah Bananas leads a pre game cheer with the players before their game against the Party Animals at Richmond County Bank Ball Park on August 12, 2023 in New York City. The Savannah Bananas were part of the Coastal Plain League, a summer collegiate league, for seven seasons. In 2022, the Bananas announced that they were leaving the Coastal Plain League to play Banana Ball year-round.

Missed your chance to see Baseball's craziest team? The Savannah Bananas are trading baseball and NFL stadiums for the high seas and taking their wacky show on the water. The four-day cruise leaves Tampa on February 9, 2026, taking fans to Cozumel on the Norwegian Jewel.

This is their second time hitting the seas, after their first Miami-Bahamas cruise sold out in October 2024. "Fans have given us a reason to do this. The fan support has been unbelievable. I'm just so proud and so happy for the players to experience something like this," Bananas owner Jesse Cole said, reported by ABC Action News.

Fans can watch crazy baseball shows, amazing tricks, and hang out with players during the trip. The ship becomes a floating party with Banana Feud games, late-night singing sessions, and wild trivia contests.

Three teams have been announced so far and will play during the cruise: the Party Animals, Firefighters, and the main Bananas squad. Between baseball games, guests can enjoy the pools, relax in hot tubs, or work out at the ship's gym. 2 more teams will be announced in October 2025.

The cruise comes after their huge success at Raymond James Stadium, where they drew 65,000 fans. Next year they're going even bigger - hitting 40 cities, including games at three NFL stadiums and 17 MLB parks.

They've gotten so popular because they make baseball games pure entertainment. Every inning brings something new, mixing baseball with crazy stunts and dance routines.

Ready to join the fun at sea? You can book early for the 2026 cruise now. When the ship stops in Cozumel, passengers can explore the Mexican beach town before heading back for more baseball craziness.
