Parasailing in Destin: 400 feet above the emerald coast
Rise 400 feet above the water and watch marine life from the air.
Parasailing in Destin is a parasail flight where you rise 400 feet above the emerald coast with a live English-speaking guide and life jacket provided. You board the parasail boat from our dock with 2 or 3 people flying at a time, and the full experience—loading, flying, and completing a boat load—takes up to 1.5 hours. The operator has completed over 300,000 flights.
The Experience
What does 400 feet above the water actually look like? You load onto the parasail boat from our dock, and when it's your turn, you'll fly with one or two others while the boat holds up to 15 people total. The flight itself runs around 10 minutes—long enough to see the marine life below and the curve of the coast, short enough that you're back on deck before the moment passes. The whole boat load, from boarding to everyone's turn in the air, takes up to 1.5 hours.
The operator has logged over 300,000 flights, which is why the ride stays smooth and quiet—no special skills required on your end. You wear a life jacket the whole time. A live guide in English walks you through the setup and what to expect, so there's no guessing about what happens next.
What’s included
- Life jacket and parasail flight.
