I think the point is...there is no such thing as a bannana boat , or a boat made from bannana's ,so it means do you think I am stupid or what?
I find it really strange that some people would read something into this about race.

I think the phrase is an adaption of 'fresh off the boat', meaning any foreigner arriving, not able to speak the language, not knowing what was going on etc. So I guess naive in essence.

Of course there was such a thing as a banana boat
look at your history
after WW2 some kids had never seen a banana so when the banana boats came in it made big news
I shal explain then in the 1960's when an influx of carabiane people came over to britan to work they came over on ships and boats.
Im sure most of you have heard the term why dont you home on your bananna boat becuses bananna were also shiped in from that thoses countrys too.
So people who were coming off of the "ban boats were black people. so to me that term means black people are stupid. what eles can it mean. I have never heard that term before in my life

People are very hyper sensitive these days.
Its mischief making imho.
Well I have been watching livefeed but missed him saying this.
I've looked it up and there's even a sunscreen called it so I was wrong.
I wikied it and there doesn't appear to be any rascist overtones at all - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_boat
I have stated before. Its an ice cream dish.
Not racist in the least!

Hang on...I thought you said you'd never heard the expression before.? Now I'm confused.
Here:
As far as I was aware, it means naive...nothing more, nothing less.
