My daughter and I went parasailing and we had the pleasure of meeting Tyler, Yanni and Keith. Super cool guys! Very friendly and they make safety a priority. We just had a blast, such an adventure, plus we met a few other parasailers on our boat, great people. If your down in this area, definitely book a day to go parasailing with these guys. They took lots of photos of us! In the end, they dipped us in the water, which was so refreshing. Highly recommend.
