FAQ

We suggest a comfortable, lightweight outfit such as a bathing suit, shorts, and a tank top or t-shirt. For shoes, bring something that is easy to take on and off because you will not be wearing shoes on the boat. Water bottles and sunscreen are highly recommended. We suggest that you put your sunscreen on before you get on the boat as it is hard to apply while the boat is running. Small bags are optional and can be stowed on the
parasail boat under your seat.

We let out 500 ft of tow line which puts your 200 ft or so in the air. From this height, depending on visibility, you could see miles which would enable you to see all of the major landmarks in the area!

There is always a possibility of getting wet on a boat! Additionally, there is the option of dipping your feet in the water during your flight. You, however, can request to stay dry instead.

You will be on the boat between 45 minutes and an hour. Your parasail flight will be between 10 and 12 minutes.

We parasail in the inlet between Atlantic Beach and Shackleford Banks. Views include Fort Macon, Radio Island, Beaufort, Carrot Island, Cape Lookout, and sightings of wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, and wild horses.

We have a capacity of six customers per trip. If your group consists of more than six people, we can make arrangements for back to back trips.

A private booking allows your party to have the boat exclusively to yourselves. This provides a private parasailing experience.

We are located at a booth on the Beaufort docks across from the Inlet Inn and next to the Lookout Cruise right on Front Street. Our booth has a large umbrella and a big parasail sign. Parking is limited in Beaufort and much of it is paid parking. Please allow extra time to find and pay for parking as you plan your arrival.
