Be at the dock 45 minutes before departure with a valid photo ID. The captain and crew handle everything else — no boating license needed, and the safety briefing happens right on board.

Bring along: reef-safe sunscreen, a secure hat, and something waterproof for your phone — the views from up there deserve photos.

Frequently Asked Questions About Destin Parasailing

Is parasailing safe?

Yes! Our parasailing boat The SkyScraper has a flawless safety record and is fully USCG approved. All of our captains are professionally certified with years of experience. We use modern winch-boat technology for gentle boat-deck takeoffs and landings, so your feet never touch the water unless you want them to.

How high do you fly?

Parasailing flights with Destin Water Fun reach up to 400 feet above the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. From that height you will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Destin Harbor, Crab Island, the coastline, and the stunning emerald-green waters stretching to the horizon.

Can you go with friends?

Yes! We offer single, double, and triple parasailing flights so you can soar with friends or family members. Tandem and triple flights are a popular choice for groups who want to share the experience together high above the Gulf of Mexico.

How long is the trip?

The total boat trip lasts about 1 hour, which includes travel time to the flight area and back. Your actual parasailing flight time is approximately 8-12 minutes in the air, giving you plenty of time to take in the stunning views of Destin and the Gulf Coast.

What if the weather is bad?

Safety is our top priority at Destin Water Fun. If weather conditions such as high winds, lightning, or storms make parasailing unsafe, we will reschedule your flight to another available time or provide a full refund. Our captains monitor conditions closely and make the final call on flight safety.

Will I get wet while parasailing in Destin?

Not if you don’t want to. Our masterful captain can even simply dip your toes if that’s all you want.

Where do we parasail in Destin?

We always prefer to parasail in the gulf. If bad weather or conditions exist in the Gulf, we head to the calmer waters of the bay. There is so much to see in both places.

Will I see dolphins on our parasail trip?

It’s safe to say we see dolphins every day. Either on our dock, or during your parasail flight, there is a very high chance you will get to see dolphins.

How much rope do you let out when parasailing?

We winch out around 800′ of rope which puts you at 400′ above the Destin waters. Don’t be fooled by imitations and false advertising — it’s illegal to let out any more rope or fly you any higher!

I’m scared of heights!

The scariest part of the parasail trip is the unknown. There’s zero to be afraid of. Since you are secured safely, your brain never triggers that feeling of looking down from a tall building. It’s so quiet and relaxing — once your rear end leaves the boat, it’s smooth sailing.

Is there an age and weight limit to parasail?

We need our parasail fliers to be at least 6 years old so they can respond to our commands. If you are under 18, you must have a parent/guardian sign the parasail release form before flying. Maximum weight limit to go parasailing is 500 lbs. Minimum weight depends on the conditions and is always the Captain’s final call — he knows best.

What should I bring/wear to go parasailing?

Wear your flip flops, sunglasses, sunscreen, and bring a towel — that’s about all you need! You can bring a camera up with you, but we aren’t responsible for it being damaged or dropped. Absolutely NO smoking on the boat! Anything you bring onto the boat, please take off of the boat with you.
