About this experience

Parasailing looks scary from a distance, but when you’re in the air — 400 feet in the air — it magnifies the beauty of the landscape below you. Some say it’s a life changing experience for them, one they can’t wait to experience again!

Everyone has something different to say about their experience. To know what impact parasailing in the open skies will have on you, why don’t you join us in Destin? Our boats have the capacity to hold twelve people. You can come as a single or in groups of two, three, or more.

Our parasailing equipment can hold two to three people side by side. We inspect our parasailing equipment daily to ensure you have a fun, safe, and thrilling ride.
