The guys helping us on the boat were very nice and trustworthy. My kids and I felt very comfortable with their knowledge and expertise. They were quick in getting us ready to go up, And anything we wanted to do they helped make it happen. First time parasailing for my kids and they all had a great experience. Would definitely do it again with this company.

    So much fun! My kids (6 and 8) both loved it! We missed our original tour time (our fault), and they were kind enough to reschedule us right away whew. Staff was friendly and helpful, and boat was well maintained. It goes pretty high! Loved the view from up there and dipping our toes in the water. Highly recommend for something different to do in Catalina!

    Matt and Jack were amazing guides! Very professional and fun, reassured us the experience was safe & went over all safety guidelines thoroughly. Purchased the picture package and was very pleased with the results. I’d recommend this experience to everyone I know, amazing time added to our Catalina trip!

    Never booked tour

    Julia_M, Aug 2026
    They didn’t book my tour … showed up to the provider and said that they never arranged it. Massively disappointed.

    Best view of Catalina Island!

    Alexandra_w, Aug 2026
    Best way to see Catalina Island!! This was so fun. My mom and I had never parasailed before. The staff was fantastic and were very helpful with scheduling issues. They were so kind answering our questions. The music was so fun and it was a great atmosphere with everyone cheering each other on! It lasted about 9 minutes in the air and it was so fun! Wasn’t scary at all. Great view! Highly recommend

    Must Do!

    Kellie_D, Jul 2026
    This was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend while visiting Santa Catalina Island. I was apprehensive, as this was my first time, parasailing, but it was very smooth & I didn’t even feel like I was 800’ up.

    Unfortunate wind conditions

    Brooke_B, Jul 2026
    The wind picked up in the afternoon so we were not able to sail. A full refund was offered and we took it. Wish we had more time the next day to try again…

    Best experience ever!

    Naylaka_R, Jul 2026
    It was such a great experience!! It was a little confusing to find the check in spot but I know that’s a Google Maps issue but it’s all the way at the end of the green dock. They harnessed you in, made sure you had your vest. Then the flight was so fun. Very peaceful up there with no noises to hear. Wasn’t as scary as I thought, I can’t wait to come back and try again!

    Just do it

    Kaylie_K, Jul 2026
    Very scared of heights, they were great and calming. I thought I had to go with my son, I did not but do not regret the experience.

    We had such a fun time as a family. We felt safe and secure. We got plenty of time sailing in the air. Our guides were friendly and professional.

    Great 1st time Experience

    Emily_W, Jun 2026
    It was such a fun activity to do with my boyfriend. I was a little nervous at first because I didnt know what to expect, but the crew team were great! They work so hard and fast to get things moving along with just the two of them. They made the whole experience feel safe and just fun. The views up there were so amazing!

    MQBUCKMON, Jun 2026
    The tour was awesome, as were the tour operators. They were friendly and professional. I paid extra for the picture package to have photos taken of me while I was parasailing. It was well worth it. The pictures came out great! I'd highly recommend this tour.
