We had an amazing parasailing experience in St. Thomas! Jack and Max were fantastic guides—super friendly, clear in their instructions, and they made us feel completely safe the entire time. The vibes were great from start to finish, with fun music, easy conversation, and plenty of laughs. They even took photos and videos for us on our phones, which was such a nice touch. The view of the islands was incredible! We had an absolute blast and would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting St. Thomas. An unforgettable experience!

Great experience being that it was my first time Parasailing. The guys were great host &education. I will definitely book again in the future with a partner or my child to get the full experience verses with a stranger but overall a great experience to have. Thanks.

Sapphire beach has a mobile trailer as the restrooms near the marina. There is a shower but you need tokens. You can pay to get a go pro and film your experience or have pictures taken of you or buy a waterproof phone case to wear around your neck and use your own camera. The guys were charismatic and took safety serious.

Steven and Max were great hosts. Smooth boat ride and easy instructions for parasailing and safety. Good amount of time in the air parasailing. Loved the music vibes. Overall great trip and would do it again.
Virginia_A, Mar 2026
Very entertaining crew, experienced, professional, and fun. Spoke to us about what needed to be done as far as harness and life vest, what was going to happen and played great music while doing so.
Debra_M, Mar 2026
Great experience. Felt very safe and they made it very easy and fun. Would have liked an extra “dip” for fun but it was as promised and I loved it.
Alesha_M, Mar 2026
Very professional, friendly. Easy to find. We made it a point to hang out at the sapphire beach before and after. Made for a very fun day!
Shantice_R, Mar 2026
The staff were very rude very rude to my friends and I. Barely helped us at all with our ride and barely had us in the air for pre than a minute. Mind you there was another family there who also noticed the treatment towards my friends and I. Will not recommend to anyone in the further future.
Anusha_R, Mar 2026

This review is written by the owner of this account’s daughter, Angelina. The first time we went, it got delayed due to rain while the pair before us was about to go. They handled the situation amazingly and it made me feel much safer about going on the ride. When we went on the ride, it was incredible. Coming from someone who is not fond of fast rides, it is perfect for someone who likes adrenaline but not the fast rides and sharp turns. Most of our time in the air was very slow paced and relaxed. The crew, Chris and Jay, were WONDERFUL. They were incredibly funny and welcoming. It was honestly my favorite part about this trip. I highly recommend. However, you never know what the circumstances will be. This ride relies heavily on how the weather is. Make sure not to schedule this trip on the last day you are here to make sure you don’t miss out from weather delays.

I have wanted to do this since my 20’s. I finally got to today! My husband and and I are 59 and 58. Neither one of us is “athletic” but we love adventure. This was so easy, you’re up in a flash, it’s smooth, calm and relaxed. The view is amazing. The different water colors you see from up in the air are beautiful. We did one little touch down to get our feet wet and back up again. Do it!!!!

Operators were max and I forget the young lady name but they were very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Kept everyone calm and explained everything well to ensure we had a safe and great time
Ebony_M, Feb 2026
Had a date to fly the day prior but the weather wouldn't permit. They made it easy to reschedule on the spot and glove things around for the next day. Everything was smooth sailing (see what I did there) and say going. I would recommend and don't second guess.
Michelle_L, Feb 2026
The staff were so professional and friendly. I felt so safe. It was such a beautiful experience and more gentle than anticipated. Less thrill ride than being on a swing. I loved it and would highly recommend.
Jesus_R, Feb 2026
First of all it’s an awesome experience! The guides handle everything perfectly. There’s nothing else like it. Fear never entered my mind you feel secure, it’s like sitting on a swing. Once. You’re up you never want to come down.
Rebecca_M, Feb 2026
You're reading reviews, trying to decide about this activity. Do it! They take great care of you & want you to have a good time. This was my first parasailing experience, but definitely not my last. So beautiful & peaceful floating above paradise.
