Get ready to have a blast on a Virgin Islands Parasailing adventure! Enjoy an incredible bird’s eye view of St. John and St. Thomas. Parasailing will give you a unique perspective of the U.S. Virgin Islands as you parachute through the air behind a custom outfitted boat. After you are fitted with a special Parasail harness, you will be seated next to your partner(s) on the flight deck and then gently launched and retrieved using an hydraulic winch system. You take off and land directly on the boat, and you get to decide if you want to get wet or not. Bring your friends and family, and make lasting memories of your vacation in the U. S. Virgin Islands.

That is entirely up to you! Just let the Captain know if you want to stay dry or get your feet wet. We call this a touch-'n-go and it is so much fun!
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) limits parasails to fly no higher than 500 vertical feet from the surface of the earth (CFR 101.13). 500 feet up is about how high you will get on an 800 ft. towline.
Bathing suits if you want to get wet, otherwise shorts, T's, and flip-flops. Honestly, we can fly you in a dress or tuxedo if you like- remember you don't have to get wet!
We encourage you to plan for parasailing during the first part of your vacation. The weather at times can be unpredictable and some folks have made the mistake of trying to plan for parasailing on the last day of their vacation, only to have Mother Nature rain on their parade.
