Description

Specialties

Providing family watersports fun on Fort Myers Beach for over 33 years! Time-​proven parasailing experience and safety you can trust. Experienced USCG captains will give you the safest tour and most adventurous parasailing flight on our Coast Guard inspected vessels that speed along miles of Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel coastline. After harnessing up adventure-​takers into the smiley face chute, the wind naturally hoists riders aloft while the 1,200 foot line sails up above the water. Once capturing the astonishing views of Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island, you will have the option to take pleasure in a variety of free fall dips. Select a relaxing dip that just allows your toes to touch the water or a thrilling free fall that gets you soaked. When you are vacationing on Fort Myers Beach, this is one attraction you don’t want to miss. So make sure it’s Paradise Parasail!

We had a fantastic time! The crew is very nice and captains Justin and Ron were super friendly. They make you feel very safe and make sure you are having a great time! We were able to see several sea turtles and sting rays.
This is definitively and activity we will do again and absolutely with Paradise Sail! Great job.

Great service. Check in right at the beach. Select package, use Unilocal coupon. They will take your credit card and send you on small speed boat to big parasailing boat. Captain took great care of us, ride was very smooth and fun. Come back on small boat get your belongings, they charge card with any added tips. Highly recommended to do this at sunset time.

Did I ever imagine myself some 130 meters above sea level in a parachute? Eh. no, not really. After some persuading I agreed and I had the time of my life. What can I say — WOW! We saw sea turtles, small sharks and the wonderful scenery of Fort Myers Beach from above.
Me, being a control freak barely got wet (only due to the wet straps) and we felt so well taken care of. In Greece I did the same a few years ago, it included running on the bridge to get enough speed to lift and at the end of the session we were put in the water, getting a mouthful of seawater at touch down. Well, this is 2.0. No mess, no seawater, just the most remarkable memory ever!
Thank you all — you are the best! We will come back!

Happened upon Paradise Parasail through Groupon and so glad I was able to go! They were great to work with and it was easy to schedule. They recommended going early — before boats, kayaks, etc… were out on the water, which was great advice. Parking was a little tough, it is hard to tell where to turn and you’ll need to check in with the hotel if you park in one of their designated spots — but they let us park for free since we weren’t staying after. The actual parasailing was fantastic, really smooth and not as scary (but still exciting) as I was expecting. We saw some sea turtles while we were up there, plus the overall view is fantastic. You’re able to leave a tip via credit card which is nice, because I was worried about having cash or if you were even supposed to tip (they do have tip jars on the boats — the boat that takes you out to the boat you parasail from and the boat you parasail from). Lots of fun though and I’d definitely recommend it!

Had a great time parasailing and really enjoyed the team at Paradise Parasail. I got a lot wetter than I expected, but the water was refreshing. The captain took great care of us and I’m glad we got the deluxe package (dipped toes in the water two times). If you bring a phone or camera make sure to keep them in something waterproof just to be on the safe side.

Went today, was a lot of fun. That staff is friendly and joked with us, told us some things to do while we were there for the day. We bought the deluxe package with the Polaroid so we can come back for ½ off for forever :) the double dip was the best.

It was very expensive, but it was worth it. I called to make a reservation and they were very helpful. Never be a walk up, they are second priority, if you just call ahead of time and make a reservation it will save you a whole lot of waiting. It costs more but i would recommend buying the 25 $ photo package. They give you the whole SD card to keep. Everyone at this place is very friendly and helpful. The men on the shuttles and boats are hilarious and generous, they really dipped us deeper than our toes on the toe dip because i was looking «ornery». That was something I think is special. This business has personality and plenty of good people working at it. You’ll have a great experience

This place was great! Captain Mike was super nice, the two gentleman on the boat were funny, and the ride was awesome. We got a very long ride, pictures, and they even took video of us with my Flip Video camera. Prices are reasonable and if you bring back your poloroid, then you get another ride half off!
