Sooo much fun. The excursion guides were warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Although it was my first time, i felt completely safe and it was so smooth once you were in the air. I felt completely secured and the views were amazing. 10/10

We had an amazing parasailing experience in St. Thomas! Jack and Max were fantastic guides—super friendly, clear in their instructions, and they made us feel completely safe the entire time. The vibes were great from start to finish, with fun music, easy conversation, and plenty of laughs. They even took photos and videos for us on our phones, which was such a nice touch. The view of the islands was incredible! We had an absolute blast and would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting St. Thomas. An unforgettable experience!

Great First Time Experience

Alanna_E, Jun 2026
The guides were so knowledgable, took amazing photos and made us feel so at ease while we had a great time!

Phenomenal First Time!

Valissa_A, Jun 2026
What an amazing smooth experience! Our taxi driver took us the wrong direction initially where we would have missed our time frame, but the parasail organizer stayed in touch with me, asked for updates, and insured that we were able to go out on the rescheduled time so that we would not be delayed returning to our cruise ship. The team was very professional, knowledgeable, and comforting with this being my first time parasailing. My only regret is that my daughter did not request photographs or video because she was terrified initially, so I guess I'm going to have to do it again soon LOL!

It was definitely worth...

Kathi_P, Jun 2026
It was definitely worth the money. They were very nice and knowledgeable. I would recommend to families

It was an amazing experience. Had wonderful time. The crew was amazing and helpful to make sure I had a great experience.

Rude customer service representative

Annah_M, Jun 2026
Person over the phone was very rude regarding us being late having a hard time finding the location. I guess our boat left us, so they were going to charge us $40 per person to get on another boat after spending $230. Understandable. But, considering our frustrations on finding the place as tourist he wouldn’t accommodate us and issued a refund after I agreed to pay the $40.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

The first time you ever reached out to us was nearly an hour after your trip departed, because you had just arrived at the location. You were extremely rude to me over the phone yelling at me that your trip left without you, and I ended up refunding you against our policy because I didn't want your attitude to effect other guests on another trip you would have been rebooked on.

Parasailing 101

Must Do!

Angel_B, May 2026
This was my first time, and the guides made us feel so secure and knowledgeable for this experience. And to be up in the air over the ocean was honestly surreal. We just left the experience in amazement & gratitude!

First time parasailing...

Laura_I, May 2026
First time parasailing and loved it! If you do not want to spend extra money on photos or video (that they take) just bring a water pouch for your phone as only your feet get wet when they dip you in! They do sell the pouches as well.

The best view ever

Great experience being that it was my first time Parasailing. The guys were great host &education. I will definitely book again in the future with a partner or my child to get the full experience verses with a stranger but overall a great experience to have. Thanks.

Relaxing scenic adventure

Brenda_R, May 2026
Sapphire beach has a mobile trailer as the restrooms near the marina. There is a shower but you need tokens. You can pay to get a go pro and film your experience or have pictures taken of you or buy a waterproof phone case to wear around your neck and use your own camera. The guys were charismatic and took safety serious.

Friendly and humorous crew also Breathtaking views ! It was so serene being all the way up in the air. You could see every island around you.

Terrible

Nivedita_S, Apr 2026
I got to the spot literally 3 mins after 3 o clock and the guys was like the boat Left. No where does it say that there is not even a 5-10 min buffers: I had even been texting lol afternoon and Keeping them updated. Called them too. Do NOT recommend

Response from Host, May 2026

This review is not accurate. You arrived about 10 minutes after the departure time, which we ask you to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. There was never any call or text, until after you arrived late. I offered you another time to go based on our rebooking policies but you declined and screamed profanities at me on the phone. We apologize that you feel we should have waited however it is not fair to keep other guests waiting.

great experience
