I'm afraid of heights but this was not terrifying, the crew of 2 (sorry, can't remember names), explained in detail how it was going to happen and I felt totally secure when they had us ready to go. It was easy peasy to get launched off the back of the boat and the landing back on the boat was effortless. I only wish I could have sailed longer, it was so peaceful up there. Very professional guy and gal in charge. Absolutely would do it again, in a heartbeat. I'm 64 with 2 knee replacements and it was a joy.

My fiance and I had an amazing time. It was my first time parasailing and the guys made it super comfortable and fun. We were the only ones that booked that time slot so we had the entire boat to ourselves. The view was amazing leaving Sapphire Beach Marina. 10/10 recommend these guys! The footage they captured of us were great too and very much appreciated. They sell water proof phone cases and also offer photo/video packages. Must do if you're in St Thomas!!

Top thing to do! if you have never done this before, even if you are afraid of heights-choose this experience. Outstanding service- super friendly and fun, made us feel safe and comfortable. The views are breath-taking and the sensation of floating in the quiet is at once both exhilarating and very peaceful. Afternoon on a Saturday felt like we had the world to ourselves. Can't say enough to explain how beautiful it was and how fun the guys made the whole trip.

This experience is great. We booked it online and not through the cruise ship. We had to take a taxi to the marina but it offered a nice tour and view of the Island. My daughter had just done one in Key West and it was only 5 minutes long in the air. This tour was great she had at least 15 minutes of air time. My daughter unfortunately left her glasses on the boat. Once I contracted them, they immediately retrieved them and shipped them back to us in the US. They actually were here when we got home from the cruise. They would not even let me pay for the expense! 100% recommend, top notch from beginning to even after the excursion was complete.

I had such a great first-time parasailing experience! I went in with high anxiety, but the crew made it so relatable—describing it as being on a giant swing—which instantly eased my mind. They reeled us up slowly, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process feel safe and fun. The views were absolutely beautiful, and my friend and I loved getting the photo package to capture the moment. I would highly recommend this experience and would definitely do it again and again. Thank you so much for making it unforgettable!

We were so excited to parasail. Some other guest was nervous. We were the first ones up and we were able to ride together. It was so smooth at lift off. Not scary at all. They ask if you want to be dipped in the water when you are coming down... you definitely do! It is so worth it and then you go back up. The landing is just as smooth as the take off. We only had four ppl on our boat. It wasn't planned that way it's just the way it worked out. The guest that was nervous loved it as well! The crew Hunter and Delaney was awesome. They made sure we were comfortable and safe at all times. I would definitely do it again and would highly recommend. My con is that they don't pick up and drop off at the port. However, it is simple to get a taxi to sapphire beach and our taxi even returned at the time we asked and brought us back to port. At the time I'm writing this review it is 15.00 a person each way.
