FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is the minimum age to parasail?We generally start flying children at age 5. There is no maximum age.
-
Can I ride along on the boat with my family, even if I am not parasailing?If there is space on the boat, we are happy to accommodate riders at the price of $40/ per person. However, we do prioritize flyers, so if the boat fills up with parasailers, we, unfortunately, cannot take riders. You cannot reserve a spot for a rider in advance.
-

-
How many people can fly at once?We offer single, double, or triple rides, based on wind conditions and weight loads.
