Parasailing FAQs

How Does Parasailing Work?

Each parasailer or group of parasailers is towed behind a boat while attached to a parasail wing. You’re attached to the parasail through a harness, and the parasail is attached to the boat through a tow rope. The boat is then driven forward, and you’re lifted higher and higher in the air as the boat gains speed.

How high does the parasail go?

You can go as high as 800 feet above the boat while parasailing. Imagine how gorgeous the view of Lake Tahoe will be with that vantage point! Experience the rush and soar like an eagle over Lake Tahoe. It’s breathtaking!

How safe are the take-offs and landings?

Extremely safe! We have custom-built, state-of-the-art boats specifically designed to handle take-offs and landings with ease. You’re never suddenly thrown into the air; you’ll instead gently ascent to heights of up to 800 feet. Our boat captains are all US Coast Guard-certified so you can feel confident in a boat manned by them.

Will I get wet?

Getting a little wet or staying totally dry is all up to you. Just inform the captain ahead of take-off if you’d like to skim off the water.

Can I parasail even if I can’t swim?

Yes! Parasailing is one of few water sports or activities that don’t require participants to have swimming skills. Plus, you’ll have a life vest on at all times and you can choose to completely avoid the water.

Is there an age requirement for parasailing?

Yes, all flyers must be at least five years old. Persons weighing less than 90 lbs. can fly using our tandem or triple harness.

Is there a weight requirement and/or weight limit?

Persons under 90 pounds cannot fly alone, but they can fly with a companion using our tandem or triple harness. Whether solo, double, or triple, the total weight of all flyers cannot exceed 550 pounds. Note that the captain has the discretion to adjust weight requirements as called for by the weather or safety requirements.

Can you do pick-ups outside of your location?

Yes, we can do private pick-ups at beaches, piers, and other similar spots. Just contact us for more details on private events, and we’ll be glad to make arrangements.
