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!

Amazing experience. The crew was awesome, friendly, reassuring, and we saw dolphins! 10/10. I was hesitant scared of heights but did it anyway and incredibly happy with the experience. Photo package totally worth it too 68 professional photos same day texted! Great quality overall, worth every dollar

    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!

    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.

    Great Fun

    MeiFang_T, Apr 2026
    We were nervous walking into this experience as 2 out of the 3 of us had some degree of a fear of heights. The worries turned out to not be necessary as the crew ensured our safety the entire time and we ended up having a lot of fun. The view from 800 ft above was wonderful and you truly feel weightless in the sky. Would recommend to just do two people at a time instead of three though as the extra weight got all of us soaked from the waist below. If planning on experiencing this as a trio, highly recommend bringing a spare change of clothing. Also, bring a jacket as it gets chilly up in the air especially if strong winds are present like it did in ours.

    Coolest activity on Catalina

    Monica_K, Apr 2026
    Amazing experience, most peaceful up there, saw a lot of dolphins and dipped toes between dolphins. Timing is important as dolphins come in morning.

    Parasail 🪂 in paradise

    I had a great time and everyone was super nice and I got to fly over a pod of dolphins! The boat staff was great

    Just do it!

    Fun staff. Good thing to do while visiting Catalina Island. You only live once, just do it! We enjoyed it.

    What an amazing experience!

    Patrice_B, Mar 2026
    I took my kids on a cruise for my son’s 30th birthday, which landed us in Catalina for the day. I signed them up to go parasailing for the first time and what an experience it was. The staff were super friendly. Very welcoming. Attentive and made sure everyone had fun and took in the experience. I would book with them again & again. The price was affordable and very comparable to others in the island. We had a blast. If your looking for fun book with them. Amazing group of people. From the office staff to the guys on the both. Thank you for making our day memorable.
