Destin Parasailing FAQs

Parasailing in Destin, FL costs $65 per flyer, or $60 if you book an early bird flight. Spectators who ride the boat without flying are $50. Booking online gets our best available rate.
What is the best parasailing in Destin?
We fly from three Destin locations with an experienced captain and crew, 800 feet of rope and a 400 foot flight, which is why Xtreme H2O is one of the highest rated parasailing operators in Destin. Tandem and triple flights let couples and families go up together.
Can you go parasailing from Destin beach?
Yes. We launch from the water rather than the sand, so your Destin beach parasailing flight starts at one of our three harbor locations and takes off over the Gulf or Choctawhatchee Bay depending on conditions that day.
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 perfer 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!
What if 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 500lbs. Minimum weight depends on the conditions and is always the Captains final call – he knows best.
What should I bring/wear to go Parasailing?
Wear your flip flops, sun glasses, sun screen 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!
