Parasailing is safe with an experienced captain and crew. Your safety is our first priority.
-
Parasailing is not scary. Takeoffs and landings are slow and gradual. You wil feel as though you are floating on a cloud.
-
To ensure this never happens, we insist on a detailed maintenance program for all our equipment. In the unlikely event of problems with the boat or with the tow line, the parachute would gently float down and you would land softly in the water.
-
Yes. All of our captains are US Coast Guard licensed, and both captains and crew are specifically trained in all aspects of parasailing, boat handling and flight procedures, most with many years of flight experience.

From the boat. All parasail takeoffs and landings are hydraulically controlled from the back of the boat.

The captains will decide if the conditions are suitable for parasailing. We do not parasail when there is lightning or in high winds and rough seas. We still parasail when it’s overcast/cloudy and in light, passing rain. If we know before your reservation that we are not operating we will give you a call.

You will receive your photos via text message to the phone number on your reservation within 24 hours of your flight.
