Parasailing, the best way to see Panama City Beach
Soar high above the Emerald waters. Enjoy panoramic views of The Worlds Most Beautiful Beaches. Parasailing with Paradise Watersports along the shores of Panama City Beach is the ultimate experience. Our Experienced and Professional captains can’t wait to give you that once in a lifetime experience. At Paradise Watersports, your satisfaction is a top priority, but your safety is our #1 priority! Our parasailing boats have complete hydraulic winches that ease you into the air right off the customer deck. As your ride comes to an end, the captain reels your back in. It’s like flying a kite with a fishing pole.
YOU’RE READY TO GO PARASAILING
Your adventure will begin with a BANANA BOAT RIDE through the surf out to one of our six-passenger parasail boats. Once onboard, our captain and crew will instruct you thru the safety briefing. You have been fitted into your harness and gotten your life jacket fastened. Sit down, relax, and smile for the camera, YOU ARE PARASAILING. As you float smoothly over the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, you might see:
- Marine life that not visible from the beach. Bottlenose Dolphins, Sting Rays, and the occasional Manatee
- Miles and Miles of water in every direction
- Your family and friends along the shore waving to you!
- Incredible panoramic views of Panama City Beaches beautiful coastline
The highlight of your ride is about to begin. The captain slows the boat down allowing you to free fall slowly into the water. Once you get close, he slowly powers up, gently cooling you off with a dip in the Gulf of Mexico. If you request not to get wet, we can provide the free fall experience without the cooling off dip. As your ride comes to a close, we will land you standing up on our back deck. Your boat ride will continue as the other passengers experience the same thrill of parasailing.
As your banana boat pulls back in to drop you off, make sure to let those on shore know how much fun you had.

RESTRICTIONS
Due to wind and weather, the weight limit and wait times may vary. Please understand that we want to make sure everyone goes parasailing while on vacation and at the same time always operate with SAFETY as the number one priority. Our Captains reserve the right to suspend operations or refuse service to any customer if they feel the conditions are not SAFE.
All of our parasailing flights are done on a wind to weight ratio. What this means is the amount of wind we have at the present moment determines the total amount of weight we can put in the parachute. We understand you may want to fly with a certain family member, but with safety as the top priority, we may have to pair you with another family member.
Parasailing wait times will vary throughout the day. As we begin our day, your parasailing wait time may be only a few minutes. As the sun heats up and midday passes, our parasailing wait times greatly increase. We encourage you to sign up early. If you do have a bit of a wait, no problem. Let the attendant know where you are gonna be enjoying yourself on the white sandy beach, and he will come get you with its time. If for some reason you need to go in for the day, no problem there either. Just hold onto your parasailing ticket and we will be back bright and early tomorrow morning.
If by chance you are staying at a beach house and you are having trouble finding one of our parasailing beach kiosks, please come to Sharkys Restaurant or Hooter Restaurant. We have plenty of public parking. We are located on the beach directly behind these two amazing restaurants.
