    FAQ

    What are the age and weight requirements?

    Flyers must be at least 6 years old and weigh a minimum of 60 lbs. There's a maximum weight of 450 lbs at a time.


    Is parasailing scary?

    Not at all! Most riders find the experience peaceful and exhilarating. If you're looking for extra excitement, our captains can add a fun water dip to your flight.


    Will I get wet?

    Only if you want to! You’ll take off and land from a platform on the boat, staying dry unless you choose to be dipped in the water.


    Do I need any experience?

    No experience is necessary. Our crew provides all instructions and safety equipment to ensure a smooth ride.

    Yes! Our crew members offer a professional photo and GoPro package to capture your flight.


    What happens if the weather is bad?

    The crew here consistently delivers memorable water adventures, and it really shows in how guests rave about their guides by name. Brandon, Greg, Ashley, and Tanner get frequent shoutouts for being friendly, professional, and genuinely fun to be around. People appreciate how the staff makes everyone feel comfortable, explaining everything clearly while keeping the energy high throughout activities like parasailing and jet ski rentals. Pontoon rentals seem particularly popular, with guests loving the flexibility to explore at their own pace. One family appreciated getting a walk-up rental without a reservation, then coming back the next day for more (and scoring a returning customer discount). The crew goes the extra mile with helpful touches like providing coolers with ice and assisting guests onto boats. Whether you're heading to Crab Island or exploring quieter areas of the bay, the team's attentiveness and welcoming attitude make the experience smooth from start to finish.

    Jet ski with dolphins!!! We had an amazing time trying to find dolphins, cruising alongside a pod of them, and then having some high speed fun near crab island on the jet skis. The guide was awesome and we all had an absolute blast! I highly recommend this activity.
