Key West Parasailing: 8-10 Minutes Airborne Over Water
Rise high above the island and choose whether to dip into the water on the way down.
Fury's Key West Parasailing is a 50-minute activity where you fly tandem or triple (at the captain's discretion) 600 feet above the water for 8-10 minutes of airtime, with the option to be lowered for a dip in the ocean before climbing back skyward. Check-in is 30 minutes before departure; all guests 18+ must bring government-issued photo ID, and minors 6-17 require a parent present at check-in to sign waivers. Digital photos are available for purchase at the end of your flight.
The Experience
You'll take off from a boat moored near the cruise port in a gentle, dry ascent—no running start, no splashing into the water to begin. As the parasail fills and you rise, the island shrinks below you: mangrove channels, the reef line, the curve of the harbor. The flight lasts 8-10 minutes, long enough to spot dolphins in the shallows or tropical birds alongside you, and to steady your breathing and actually look around instead of gripping the harness.
The optional ocean dip happens on your terms. If you want it, the boat crew will lower you and your flying partner (or partners, if you're on a triple flight) until your feet touch the water—a cool break mid-flight before they pull you back up for the descent. If you'd rather stay dry, you stay up. Either way, the landing is controlled and smooth, designed so first-timers and repeat flyers both walk off the boat steady on their feet.
Digital photos of your flight are available for purchase when you land, so you can relive the moment or send proof to people who didn't believe you'd actually do it. The whole experience—check-in, suiting up, the boat ride out, the flight, and landing—takes 50 minutes from start to finish.

Top questions
How high do you fly on Fury's Key West Parasailing?
You fly approximately 600 feet above the water, high enough to see across the island and spot dolphins and birds below, but not so high that the details of Key West disappear.
Can children go parasailing in Key West?
Children as young as 6 can fly, but they must have an adult present on the boat. Kids 6-13 must fly with a guest 14 or older; kids 15-17 can fly without an adult on the boat, though a parent must still be present at check-in to sign waivers.
What happens if you want to skip the ocean dip?
The ocean dip is optional—you can request to stay dry and fly straight back down without being lowered into the water.
What do you need to bring to check in?
All guests 18 and older must bring a government-issued photo ID. Parents or guardians of minors must also bring ID to sign liability waivers at check-in, which happens 30 minutes before your departure time.
Are there weight limits for parasailing in Key West?
The total weight limit is 450 pounds for tandem and triple flights combined, meaning the boat captain may pair or group riders based on weight to stay within that limit.
