The experience was more fun than I anticipated. It was very peaceful when you’re floating high in the sky. Our captain Caleb and Jay were both very nice and handled the boat with ease and made everyone on the boat feel comfortable. We all enjoyed the experience and walked away with very fond memories! Definitely 10/10!

The two gentlemen were so friendly and helpful. They created a great atmosphere with music and conversation. People pleasing by putting newbies at ease to calm nerves. At the end of the adventure, they gave great recommendations of local food places. I would definitely recommend and would love the experience again! Thank you to Caleb and his partner!

Soaring Above the Rest! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Scott_F, Jul 2026
We had an incredible experience parasailing in Destin, Florida! From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to explain everything clearly, and safety was obviously a top priority. The entire experience was smooth, exciting, and unforgettable. The views from up in the air were absolutely breathtaking, and the crew made the ride both fun and relaxing. Their positive attitudes and excellent customer service really set them apart. If you’re looking for a top-notch parasailing adventure in Destin, I highly recommend this company. They exceeded our expectations, and we’d definitely book with them again on our next trip!

Highly recommend!!

Elizabeth_D, Jul 2026
My boyfriend and I had a blast on this excursion. The Captain Morgan and his staff were great!!! They gave us floats to float on, and knew which cooler was ours and would hand us our drinks from the boat to us in the water. Music was great!! All the food you could buy on the water was amazing! Chic Fil A, sushi, pizza, wings… the list goes on and on! 10/10!! Book it!!

Horrible very rude

Veronica_F, Jun 2026
Horrible! Very Rude! I was running late 10 mins late because I drop my phone in the water at crab island & went to get another 1 so I had no way of calling them to communicate. I got there only 10 minutes late & she wouldn't even put me on the next excursion and wouldn't give me a refund & was very rude and unprofessional! I even explained what had happened & it was my birthday! I would GIVE THEM 0 STARS OF I COULD!

My refund

0 star horrible customer service

Truthe_P, Jun 2026
There was issues with booking day and time. Something went wrong in the system. We asked they change the date so we could still have the experience. They refused even though this wasn’t our fault. Viator forced them to refund us. She even called after being extremely rude and told me she was forced to refund us and would like to us to repay and still go. We went to another company!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

This is not all true. You booked on the wrong day. As a result, that trip was short your tickets, which is how our crew makes their money, and holding places the another customer could have had. As a courtesy, we requested Viator to refund.

Unable to parasail.

Alyiah_D, Apr 2026
Our parasailing experience was canceled due to high winds. Thankful for safety first but was looking forward to it for sure. I hope the refund is processed smoothly as we were only in the area from Louisiana for one day.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Safety is always our top priority, but we truly wish we could’ve gotten you up in the air! 🪂💙 Rest assured, your refund will be processed, and if you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
