The parasailing itself delivers that sweet spot between thrilling and peaceful that keeps people coming back. First-timers and repeat visitors alike describe it as worth every penny, with some lucky guests spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and even sharks from above. The operation runs smoothly and efficiently, so you're not wasting your vacation time. It's the kind of experience that gets mentioned as a trip highlight, with families specifically noting how welcoming the crew made everyone feel.
This was the highlight of my family vacation with my husband and 12 year old daughter, by far! We drove from our Navarre Beach condo, to parilsail for the first time ever! Captain Steve was awesome and Alejandro was an amazing and friendly person to get to meet. He talked us thru the process and made sure we were all comfortable. The ride was smooth, relaxing and beautiful! I didn't want to come down from the peaceful moment of gliding in the sky above the sea of many 🐠. Thanks Captain Steve and Alejandro for the good experience. 😍 God bless!
