GENERAL
-
No. If you see fins around you, they are very friendly dolphins that enjoy flirting and catching waves with jet skiers.
-
Our parasailing adventures require a prior reservation and rentals fill up fast; book now!
Jet ski rentals do not require reservations, but you may book online if you want to guarantee your spot. We do not accept phone reservations. Walk-ups are first come, first serve.
-
We require 24 hours’ notice of cancellation for a complete refund.
PARASAILING
-
No prior experience is needed. If you can walk onto our parasail boat by yourself and if you can sit down, you should be able to parasail.
-
Each parasail boat has a self-contained launch and recovery system. You safely take-off and land directly from the back of the boat.
-
You don’t have to get wet, but we think getting wet is half the fun. We dip your toes if you request to get wet (at no additional charge).
-
The minimum weight to fly alone is 40 pounds, but it varies depending on wind and water conditions. The maximum combined weight limit is 600 pounds. This depends on weather conditions as well. The minimum age to fly or ride along is now 4 years old due to new insurance restrictions. We have a very comfy waiting area, and we are next door to the locals’ favorite restaurant and raw bar Big Sam’s and a large marina with a lot of great sights to see.
-
Each flight averages 10-12 minutes from take-off to landing. The higher you choose to go, the longer the flight. The whole adventure, once you leave the dock, is about an hour.
Our flights range from 600 to 1000 feet of line. The 1000-foot flight is our most popular ride. You are as high as the hotels and can see for miles down the beautiful coastline, inland and offshore.
-
We are the only parasail company in Virginia Beach with over 30 years of a perfect safety record, safely flying up to three people at a time!
-
To ensure this never happens, we insist on a rigorous maintenance program for all our equipment. In the unlikely event of problems with the boat or tow line, the parasail would slowly float down and gently land in the water. Safety flotation jackets are worn by all fliers, so there is no risk of drowning. The boat would circle around immediately, so by the time you land safely in the water, we’re there to pick you up. Again, we have a perfect safety record for 30 years and counting.
-
Sorry, no pregnant women can fly or ride out on the boat as an observer because of new state safety and insurance regulations. No exceptions. Safety comes first.
-
Unfortunately, due to the bumpiness of the boat ride, we suggest you don’t fly or ride as an observer.
-
That depends on each individual’s abilities. To fly, you must be able to get on the boat. Once onboard, you are harnessed and need to walk about 10 feet and up three steps to the flight deck. If you can manage these steps on your own, you can parasail. Our crew can assist but is unable to physically carry passengers.
-
No. Our boats hold up to 12 people so you will be on the boat with other groups.
-
Observers are $25 and they are space available only. We only take observers if we have room so they are not guaranteed. Please call us if you would like to try to add observers with your party.
JET SKI RENTAL
-
You must be 18 years old to rent and 16 years old to operate by yourself (14 years old if you have a valid boater’s license). The minimum age for passengers is 5 years old. All minors must have an adult sign for them.
-
The maximum weight a jet ski can hold is 400 pounds, but this also depends in the water conditions.
-
No, just a valid picture ID. We need one per jet ski you rent.
-
Up to three people, but the combined weight cannot exceed 400 pounds. This is also dependent on the water conditions that day, meaning that if it is rough in the ocean, you may only be able to put one or two passengers on the jet ski.
-
No. Unfortunately, you may not switch passengers.
-
No. Life jackets are worn at all times, and we have boats to assist you. Jet skis are watched with strict supervision, and someone from our staff is always monitoring renters. In the event you do fall off the jet ski, our trained staff is right there to get you back on safely.
-
Yes. You are led out of Rudee Inlet into the ocean, where you have 1 square mile riding area from 1st Street to 14th Street (between the rock jetty and the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier).
