This achieves the maximum height allowed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Customers remain in the air approximately 8-10 minutes, nearly double the ride time of our competitors. Enjoy tranquil views of beautiful gulf water and an experience like no other! Parasail equipment is inspected and maintained daily to ensure your family has the best experience possible.
Do I have to know how to swim?
No. You will be wearing a Coast Guard approved safety vest for the entire trip.
All walkups welcome?
Walk-ups are welcome; however, we advise that you make a reservation.

Can I ride along to view without parasailing?
Customers wanting to ride but not fly must pay a small observer fee.
Where do we enter the vessel?
Customers take a short ride from the beach on a banana boat shuttle to the parasailing vessel. If a banana boat ride does not sound appealing please call and ask about availability at our dock location. This location is much more suitable to disabled guests.
How high will we fly?
We let out approx. 800 ft. of line which equates to roughly a 400ft height in the chute. (This is the maximum allowed by the FAA).
What is the minimum age to go?
The minimum age is 5 years old for both parasail and banana boat rides.
Does a parent have to accompany a minor?
Passengers under the age of 13 require a responsible person 16 years old or older to accompany them on board the vessel as a ride along. There is a fee to ride on the boat.
What are the maximum and minimum weight limits?
The maximum combined weight in the chute is 450lbs. Although the minimum weight is up to the captain’s discretion, a good rule of thumb is 185-200 pounds combined.
How many people can parasail at one time.
Up to 3 people may fly at the same time if the combined weight is less than 450lbs.
How many people can go out on the boat at a time?
The boat can accommodate a maximum of 12 passengers.
How do you take off and land?
Flyers take off and land from a seated position off the back of the boat.
Do I have to get dipped in the water?
Although the ride generally includes a small “touch and go” at the end (it is a leg dip, not a dunk or drag), it is the guest’s decision to get dipped or not.
What is an appropriate tip?
Like other service industry professionals, the captain and deckhand depend on the customer’s gratuity; industry standard is 15 – 20% of the tour cost.
How many photos are on the photo-package?
The deckhand takes 50-60 pictures of each flight. This is not a guarantee that all the photos will turn out 100% perfect.
What is the number of people that can ride the banana boat at one time?
Typically 4-6 people on the banana boat at one time, however, the jet ski captain may change the maximum based on weight.

Parasailing Testimonials
We will do this again!
And the person pulling the banana was rude to my kids
I will add days before we went parasailing, we did the banana boat, I’m sad to say we didn’t catch the gentleman’s name driving us but he was hands down equally amazing!! The entire staff from booking to boarding and unloading were fantastic!! You all do not get enough credit for what you do…. Hoping to see you all next year!
Full disclosure: I did not fully understand that we would be boarding the actual boat from an inflatable raft. I was the last one off and slipped into the water upon boarding. It took several minutes (felt like hours) to get me back onboard. Captain Ben immediately jumped into the the banana boat to help me. After a LIFETIME of my own embarrassment, I made it onto the boat and literally EVERYONE (crew and passengers) on board was so nice. Captain Ben checked on me several times and made sure to let me know I’m not the only one to ever fall off…lol. Alexa was a ROCKSTAR at literally everything.
The actual parasailing was AMAZING. Felt like we flew up there forever. My niece and I now have a memory together that we’ll never forget. 10/10 recommend Ben and Alexa for anyone, and ESPECIALLY for making what could have been awful a WONDERFUL experience!
After booking yesterday morning, we show up early as requested on our confirmation, park and walk over just fine. We get checked in at the beach kiosk to turn in any items we don’t plan on taking in the boat. I asked if my glasses can stay on, to which the check in lady replies something to the effect of “if you can shake your head around and they still say on, you’ll be fine to keep them”. We put on the life jackets and sit in the customer waiting area as requested until it’s our turn. We end up waiting for nearly 45 minutes, putting us at least a few minutes past our originally booked start time. When it’s our turn, we notice they decided not to bring the boat to the shore and instead drive us out on these shoddy rafts to meet the boat in the open sea. The jetski driver towing the rafts and the staff member helping everybody get on couldn’t possibly have been more unhelpful and unenthusiastic. After falling off this unstable slippery raft, the jet ski driver impatiently drives off before I can climb back on, completely plowing me into the oncoming wave. Meanwhile the staff member is just standing there like a scarecrow and their shoddy operation causes me to lose my glasses, slice open my finger, and get a giant brush burn from being launched off the raft. They slow down and let me climb the raft; it’s massively overcrowded but I was attempting to be optimistic. We finally make it out to the boat. After clambering onto the boat barely because the assistant couldn’t bothered to help me up, we take a seat on this massively overcrowded boat with at least 15 people on it. They have to switch over the parachute, letting slip the fact that the last riders were in the air when the winch had broken, which is not exactly the most reassuring thing to hear at this point. While switching it over the captain comments that this is his last trip of the day so he wants to get it over with; at this point the boat is violently rocking because he’s steering with his foot while messing with the chute. They finally get it changed, and when it’s time to get it airborne, the winch breaks again. They concede that it’s not happening today and take us back to shore, but not before the captain asks us to try to reschedule or come back at 6. Even I were available, why would I want to go up on this poorly maintained and poorly operated equipment!! $85 per person before tip and tax is not cheap at all, and you know the experience was subpar when the best part is getting a refund. Even if none of this had happened, I still would have given this place 1 star for the completely deceptive pricing and scheduling. You book an hour slot, but they fail to mention you’re on the boat with a dozen other people and have to take turns, so you’re up in the air for 8 minutes maximum. That small amount of time for $85 is completely ridiculous, and that money is definitely not going to the equipment, facilities, or apathetic underpaid high schoolers to make the experience passable.
Up front they tell no phones allowed on boat so they make you pay for photos. That’s fine and I understand but what they don’t tell you if your a group of 2 they will pair you with a different person to make it a group of 3. Now I’m paying for photos of a complete stranger in photos. Total rip off
And we all loved it! All thanks to Alexa and Ben.
Great guys, answered our silly questions, taught us about ocean winds, and had great tans which means they know their stuff!
P.S. I saw a turtle probably, maybe?
