Parasailing is a water sport in which a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a parachute-like canopy. The parasail is suspended from a harness that is attached to the boat, and as the boat moves, the parasailer is lifted into the air and glides through the sky.

This was a great experience! Captain Joe and his dad were easygoing and were fun to converse with. They did a good job explaining safety procedures. Most importantly, though, parasailing was super fun. They made sure we had ample time up in the air and could get great views of Lake Huron and Mackinaw City. I'd highly recommend!
Highly recommended!!

Safety first. Awesome experience. My 10 year old grandson and 12 year old granddaughter had the time of their lives. Everybody needs to experience this at least once. The cost is worth it!
