Logan & Wyatt took us out, & for 1st time parasailers, they treated us with the utmost respect. We had so much fun & will more than likely do it again, whether it’s here in the Florida Keys or somewhere else. Wyatt took awesome pictures of our adventure, so we have wonderful memories. We checked in with Don, who was also a hoot. And by the way, Don, we saw a key deer on the way back to Key Largo. 😊

A great adventure for a couple of 50-somethings in reasonably good shape. We shared the ride with two other couples, so we each got 15-20 minutes to ride. It was a beautiful way to see the ocean and the island and we felt safe even though we both get nervous about heights in other situations. The crew was fun but professional.

Our 2 Guides/Operators were very friendly and explained everything before we went out on the water. Even though we weren’t up in the air very long, it was an amazing experience! They take some really cool photos that you can purchase afterwards.

Ian and Joey were the absolute best! They made everyone feel safe, helped cast aside any doubts and made sure the best experience was had.
Epic adventure. Hit the right time to see the sunset and cruise ship depart while in the air. Logan and Ian were awesome! Went out of their way to make sure you felt safe and had a great experience in Key West.
Logan and Keegan were the best! The photo package was worth the price! We had an Amazing time! We will be back!
