What weather can we fly in?
Most days on Catalina Island are beautiful, but the weather we cannot fly in is rain, high winds, or dense fog.
-
Do you get wet when you parasail?
No! You have the choice to stay completely dry while parasailing. This is because landing and take off occur off the back deck of the boat. If you’re feeling adventurous or a little warm, we can dip you in the water during your parasail flight.
-
How many people can fly in the parasail at the same time?
This depends on weight. We need at least 200lbs in our parasails to fly, and up to 450lbs maximum. If you meet the weight qualifications you can go solo, but this can also depend on the weather at the time. We may need more weight in the parasail if we encounter higher winds. Most people fly with a friend as a double parasail flight. If you are looking to do a triple, we ask that your group is under 450lbs. All flights are based on weather conditions.

How far are we from the Catalina Express or cruise ship drop off?
We are about a 5-10 minute walk depending on your pace, and if you’re browsing along the way. Just walk into town, down our front street, and turn onto the Green Pier. We’re located on the side of the Fish & Chips building.

We offer a great photo package to capture your experience! For $25 our crew takes up to 50 photos of your parasail flight. The photos we took will then be downloaded onto your phone before you get off the boat.

Is it scary?
You might feel a little nervous since it may be your first time parasailing, but this adventure is the perfect blend of excitement & serenity. The smooth take off and quiet gliding through the air provides a tranquil feeling, while the height provides a rush of exhilaration.
