Itinerary

#Your Bradenton Beach Parasailing Experience: Step-by-Step ##1. Arrival & Check-In at Bradenton Beach Marina (30 minutes before departure) Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time at 402 Church Ave, Bradenton Beach, FL. Look for our red, white, and blue Sea Rocket boat docked directly next to the Nautilus Bar. Free parking available on-site. If you don't see the boat, don't worry—we're on a trip and will return shortly! ##2. Board Our CWS Ocean Pro Parasailing Boat## Hop aboard our state-of-the-art parasailing vessel and meet your USCG-licensed captain and crew. Enjoy a scenic cruise through Anna Maria Island's beautiful Intracoastal Waterway en route to the Gulf of Mexico or Tampa Bay. ##3. Safety Briefing & Harness Fitting## Our friendly crew provides a comprehensive safety briefing and fits you with your comfortable parasail harness while cruising to the flight zone. We'll answer any questions and make sure you're ready for takeoff! ##4. Smooth Takeoff Directly from the Boat Deck No jumping or beach runs required! Using our hydraulic winch system, you gently lift off from the back deck while seated. The ascent is smooth and gradual—like riding an elevator into the sky. ##5. Soar 400 Feet Above the Gulf Coast (10-12 minutes of flight time) Experience breathtaking bird's-eye views of Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria Island, the iconic Skyway Bridge, and the turquoise Gulf of Mexico. Spot dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays swimming below. If you opted for a water dip, your captain will gently lower you for a refreshing splash before bringing you back up! ##6. Controlled Landing Back on the Boat## Our hydraulic winch system smoothly lowers you back to the deck for a dry landing (unless you requested that fun water dip!). No running, no scrambling—just a gentle touchdown. ##7. Celebrate & Return to Bradenton Beach Marina## High-fives all around! Professional photos and videos of your flight are available for purchase onboard. Cruise back to the marina relaxed and smiling.
