My 11 year old cousin and I went parasailing. Had a great time and the crew, Brian and Dan, did a great job making him feel comfortable (he was a little anxious because of the heights). Best part, the driver Brian did this maneuver to dunk our feet into the gulf and then took off to prevent us from completely submerging. We were on the water for about and hour and half. Really enjoyed trying something new!
Captain Tony and First Mate Ty made the experience one we will remember. Did a tandem flight and it was a blast!!!! Will definitely recommend Bradenton Beach Parasailing to all my friends!!!
My son and I went parasailing with Brian and Dan during our recent spring break. Nice guys. Nice boat. They will tell you that the fee is $65 per person. Once on the boat and underway, they will then explain that the $65 fee is for 10 minutes and 800 feet of rope. They will try to upsell you to a $90+ fee for 15 mins and 1200 feet of rope with HD pictures 'included'. Decide beforehand. Two of the folks who had reservations didn't show so Dan asked my wife and daughter if they would like to ride along. They did not explain that a ride-along would cost $20/person. We were promised that we would be 'dipped' during our experience, but that did not happen either. The pics, provided on an SD card, are no better quality than a smart phone would take.Because of the undisclosed fees and failure to deliver on their service as promised, they get a 'Poor' rating.
Have parasailed before with other companies and came back a bit uncomfortable with overall experience and glad to be on the ground -- NOT SO WITH THIS GROUP! We had a blast.We truly appreciated that Rick and his crew did a great job ensuring our safety, double checking lines and safety harnesses, explaining everything .... and all with a sense of humor and fun. We bought the picture disk as well, and pictures were terrific -- great close-ups of the "flyers" and shots of the whole family on the boat.Highly recommeded!
My girlfriend and I went out at noon on a Friday and decided to go with the package that takes you up 1000 ft and dips you. I'm very glad we chose the minor additional expense to go higher and dip down, because it was loads of fun.The crew was great, very chill, and very hospitable. If you're nervous, they'll fix that. There is nothing to be scared of; the entire experience is super relaxing. I do recommend you pop a dramamine prior just in case.Typically you are suppose to stay up 20 minutes, but we stayed up for 40 minutes while we went aaaaaall the way up the west coastline of Anna Maria Island. The view was breathtaking and we saw all kinds of wildlife while we were up there. Highly recommended.
We highly recommend Bradenton Beach Parasailing.This was our first time to parasail and they made it an awesome adventure. They were very courteous and friendly. In the future, I will use Bradenton Beach Parasailing again.
I am always safety first and fun second. Sure was pleased to have Rick and crew take us out as a group of 9 for 2 hours one morning. Knowing that there are no regulations for parasailing in florida I was pleased to find this company with a US Coastguard inspected boat but even more pleased when asked if they could exceed their passenger limit of 12 by one more they declined. The dollar was not the driving force here which made me very comfortable. This is the 3rd time I have parasailed and we have never had such a great experience. The staff were hospitable and entertaining while attending to all safety needs first. They even made my friend, who does NOT like the water, feel comfortable enough to ride tandem with me. Overall with 9 of us we went on our own which was awesome spending 2 1/2 hours on the water.
Dan and Bryan were the best hosts for our trip. We didTampa bay do to the wind in th gulf. Will do it again but it will be be in the gulf
My husband and 11 year old son parasailed on our vacation and LOVED it. The guides were lots of fun and made the ride enjoyable. They took pictures of them while parasailing and we purchased those. Had a great experience!
We visited and the weather was not favorable..... This group takes safety seriously.... We could not go out unless it was saw to do so...... My daughter who was 9 at the time was nervous and although they strapped her image wanted to get off..... Knowing we had paid for the Package they did a good job of reassuring her and whilst my dad and I had a long ride they retracted the line Hooke my daughter back on an we went back up again.....They were patient, accommodating, and made the experience AWESOMEI would definitely recommend this companyThank you
