You never have to get wet actually. Only if you would like a refreshing dip in the water before you come back aboard. And it will only go as high as your waist as the lifejacket will not permit you to go any further. You will take off from the platform on the “back” of the boat and come back the same way via the hydraulic winch system.

Weight limits are set due to the conditions at the time. Weight minimums and maximums are safely set considering the wind speed and water conditions. So call ahead for our limits that day, usually, 400lbs is a usual safe set anytime yet can go much higher in the right conditions. If you have a large group, the Captain and Crew will safely combine people together for their flights. Children are always welcome and love parasailing. We have children’s harnesses and lifejackets. Its mainly a weight issue, so if the child is small it is best to go with others to assist with a weight limit minimum.

There are no courses required, and instructions will be done aboard by our experienced Crew. Just enjoy the boat ride and flight!

Yes, we do! Keep in mind that there is a lot of overhead in this type of business- Insurance for a year and only operate a few months, Gear, Fuel (need say more..). So to do discounts we operate with Groups and Early Bird times. Groups start at 8+ people, plus a bigger discount if your group exceeds 12+ people. Early Birds are available and with large group rates, the discounts can be as little as $70pp!

Sure can! “Observers” are on a stand by basis, yet are usually not a problem. Flyers are priority when boatloads are set. The Observer will be given a ticket and if the boat does fill up the kiosk will call you or the Captain will inform the Observer that the load is full therefore a refund will be set in full. Observers also have the option to Fly if they change there mind. Just inform the Crew and all you need is to do is pay the remaining amount!

Being on the boat for the cruise and flight it is recommended to put on sunscreen or bring it with you. Camera’s are always a great idea or just use your cell phone. There will be GoPro rental available on board if you would like or book ahead for a camera. It comes with an 8GB chip and is yours with the purchase of the rental. At only $50 that’s a bargain! Feel free to bring a towel and there is small storage on the boat for your sandals/shoes. Mainly just bring yourself, we will take care of everything else.
