I'm afraid of heights but this was not terrifying, the crew of 2 (sorry, can't remember names), explained in detail how it was going to happen and I felt totally secure when they had us ready to go. It was easy peasy to get launched off the back of the boat and the landing back on the boat was effortless. I only wish I could have sailed longer, it was so peaceful up there. Very professional guy and gal in charge. Absolutely would do it again, in a heartbeat. I'm 64 with 2 knee replacements and it was a joy.

Parasailing in St Thomas.

Fred_S, Oct 2026
Two crew were great! Explained the equipment and how it all worked. Got my wife and I airbourne for a terrific ride!

The Views are the Crown 👑 Jewel

Steve_O, Oct 2026
Fantastic time on the water. First I'll share my size, 3XL ~ 340lbs. Easily something I can enjoy without a weight restriction. Second, I introduced someone to his first parasailing experience and he could not have had a more comfortable flight. The views are the crown jewel of this experience, of course. Stunning. The crew was most professional. Got a long ride together in tandem and talked together the whole time. We'll be back.

You Only Live Once!

Amazing

TeErika_W, Sep 2026
I had a great experience on my first solo trip!! Parasailing was fun and the people were friendly and welcoming! I loved it

Highly Suggest!

Kristy_S, Sep 2026
I booked this excursion with my 3 daughters, 20, 18 and 9 years old. we had the most incredible time. both boating out to the location and then parasailing. I thought that this experience would be scary, being so high up in the air but i felt so secure the entire time. my 9 year old did wish that being up in the air was a little more exhilarating, but we all had an incredible time and would definitely do it again. The crew was amazing and knowledgeable, and you could tell they were experienced. Only note I would give is the ad to book shows that water is provided on the boat and we found that not to be the case, so make sure you bring your own water.

Awesome Crew!

Dana_W, Sep 2026
It was a geat day to take to the air. Delaney and Hunter were friendly, efficient and experienced. They made us feel safe and conducted the activity professionally…and patiently. I would definitely recommend the experience!

Definitely this tour should be on your bucket list

Cheryl_D, Sep 2026
This is a must on anybody’s bucket list. We really enjoyed parasailing. We even had people with us that were afraid of heights and they enjoyed every minute of it. Takeoff and landing was so easy. You don’t even get wet and once you’re up there, it’s incredibly peaceful and beautiful. The staff really took good care of us and we enjoyed this tour immensely. I would highly recommend that you do have them take your pictures because the pictures are something I’ll treasure forever.

Kevin_M, Jul 2026
Be prepared to get a touch wet but so fun. They give you a bit of a dip in the water on your way up and down but it is refreshing. The parasailing was great and the boat ride was fun.

Amazing Experience

Santibra_B, Jul 2026
It was amazing. Being 400ft in the air was soooo peaceful. I was up there looking around just thinking this is God. I am scared of heights and I was nervous and excited all at once. When I started going in the air I felt there wasn't nothing I couldn't do in this world. GOD is beyond Good.

My grandson and I had a great time. We arrived two hours early and Caroline was able to accommodate us. We were "up" a goodly amount of time to view the beautiful St. Thomas landscape and felt completely safe during the adventure. Do it!

Amazing adventure!
