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.

No running, no scrambling—just a gentle touchdown. ##7. Celebrate & Return to Bradenton Beach Marina## High-fives all around!

Captain Jared and First Mate Matt get glowing mentions throughout these reviews, and it's clear they know how to make a day on the water memorable. Guests consistently praise how the crew creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere while making everyone feel safe and comfortable. The photo packages seem to be a real highlight—multiple first-timers mention the GoPro videos and pictures being totally worth the investment, giving them lasting memories of the experience. Flight times are generous, and the overall parasailing experience gets enthusiastic thumbs up from nervous newbies and confident flyers alike. Beyond parasailing, they also run sunset cruises with small groups where guests have spotted dolphins and enjoyed breathtaking Gulf views. The friendly, welcoming vibe carries across both offerings. One visitor dealt with a weather cancellation and communication gap around rescheduling, which is worth noting, but it's an isolated incident among hundreds of happy customers. The overwhelming sentiment points to a crew that genuinely cares about showing people a great time on the water.
Matt and Jarret were a great crew. Came down on a solo vacay and wanted to try parasailing and was very pleased that i did. Matt did a great job with the photos as well, was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of fun photos in the album
