Good experience and worth the price. The captain and crew were super friendly and awesome. We took the 800 parasailing experience. It is super smooth and you get sail in the air for about 7-8 mins. Usually one trip on boat accommodates 6-8 people, so you may have to wait your turn to sail in the air. There is an option to dip your toes in the ocean while getting down. The boat has space to stow away your personal belonging such as small bags and shoes. The photo package is available for additional 20$ , however they hand you a memory card with photos which is slightly inconvenient.

The overall experience was good but DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON PHOTOS. You will get 50 copies of the same photo. I was expecting that the photo package would include video but it didn't. We were only two people so I asked another couple to take a video and it came out to be great. I also felt the tour guides could have been a little more nice. There was a point when I was about to slip and the guy didn't care enough.

This place literally cancelled on us 10 min before our check in time. This excursion was booked for my mom’s bday celebration that we completely ruined now. Book an excursion for 10am. Received a txt at 8am to check in at 09:30. They called me at 09:20 and said they had to ‘cancel’ due to maintenance and couldn’t rebook us until 4pm. Unfortunately due to being on the cruise line that time slot didn’t work for us. Better communication & maintenance check should have been done a day prior rather than morning of… left me ZERO time to book a different excursion for us to enjoy. Booked with another company if you can!

This business preys on naive tourists! We were overcharged on our credit card by the cashier woman running the front counter and she was unapologetic and annoyed at being caught. Told other employees about the situation and they were not only unsurprised but not willing to remedy the situation. The entire operation was sketchy and clearly they habitually overcharge and do not offer receipts to take advantage of customers. Complete thieves who should be shut down.

What a great experience! We had Dustin and Frankie today. This team was professional and personable! They truly made the experience relaxing and fun! I strongly recommend getting the photo package as well. The pictures had great quality. I will be booking again for my next trip to the island.

Q & A

The trips can vary depending on how many other customers are on the boat, they do try to limit each trip to one hour on the water.

Flights range from 8 minutes up to 10 minutes.

No, you don’t have to get wet if you don’t want to. Near the end of the flight, the captain slows the boat down and has you gently freefall, dipping your feet in the water for a refreshing splash. He then lands you back safely on the boat deck. Please let them know if you would like to stay completely dry.

The minimum combined weight requirement is 180lbs, and the maximum combined weight is 450lbs. It will be up to the captain to determine. This all can vary according to winds conditions.

Parasailors must be at least 5-years-old to parasail. Guests younger than 18-years-old must have an adult sign them in. On the other end of the spectrum, the oldest person flown was 102 years old. Parasailing is safe and exciting for all ages!

You are allowed to take a camera up at your own discretion, and should take into consideration the height and water risks. Disposable cameras are best. Digital photo packages are also offered as another option to capture your good times.

Digital photo packages are $45 per group.

A little sprinkle and we stay out. High gusty winds also make parasailing difficult. The captain then decides if we are going on stand-by or if we close down for the day. If you weren’t able to fly then you can either be refunded or rescheduled for a day when we think the sun will come out to play again. If you are unsure about the weather conditions, please give a call the day of your flight.

Rules & Safety
