The crew has over 30+ years of parasailing experience, with USCG licensed captains, CPR certified mates, and all have passed an intensive parasail training designed for your safety. You can be assured you will have the safest, most enjoyable parasailing air adventure possible.

The boats are located at the same location where you check in and watch a safety video–no cumbersome shuttle boats used and no more driving to meet the boat at another location after check in!
