Parasailing in St Croix: 10-12 minute offshore flight

Fly over the Caribbean and land back on the dock in a brief time

Parasailing in St Croix is a 1.5-hour activity where you board a powerboat at the Christiansted boardwalk, receive a safety briefing from the captain and crew, then get lifted into a 10-12 minute parasail flight over the ocean before returning to dock. The operator holds a 100% safety record and welcomes children from age 4. Professional guide and National Park fees are included.

The experience

The meeting point is Caribbean Sea Adventures on the boardwalk in Christiansted. Arrive 15-20 minutes early so the crew can walk you through waivers and a safety briefing before the boat departs at your scheduled time. Once you're on the water, the captain and crew inflate the parachute and send you up for a 10-12 minute ride. If the boat fills to its 12-person capacity, you'll spend about an hour and 15 minutes total on the water while everyone takes their turn.

The parasail itself is the centerpiece. You're airborne, not watching from a seat. The powerboat does the work of towing you, and the crew handles the setup and landing. A professional guide leads the whole operation and manages the safety protocols that have kept the record clean. National Park fees are built into the price, so there's nothing to add at the dock.

What’s included

• Professional guide leading the safety briefing and boat operation.
• the 10-12 minute parasail flight itself.
• National Park fees.
