Begin your parasailing adventure by boarding the boat from the safety and convenience of the dock. No need to get in the water and climb onto the boat — this way you can stay dry the entire time.

The “Fly Zone” for your parasailing adventure is less than five minutes from the dock in John's Pass, so it doesn’t take long for the fun to begin. Your flight begins seated on the back deck of the parasailing boat with a friend or two. In seconds, you are gently lifted into the air, enjoying the view of the Tampa Bay beaches from high above the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

For the more adventurous, tell the captain or mate you’d like to be dipped during your ride and, if conditions allow, you can get dipped from your toes to your nose. A freefall to simulate parachuting is included in your ride too.

Too soon, it seems, the captain lands you like a feather, on your feet, on the back deck of your parasailing boat. There’s no charge for the dolphins you see while in flight or on the boat as you cruise along the white sand beaches between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach over the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
