Sea conditions

Overview
Siesta Key Watersports utilizes the newest technology and systems to provide anyone with a safe, soft, controlled parasailing experience. Our state of the art vessels are built solely for your parasailing enjoyment and safety.
Up to 12 people can go out on the boat for the excursion. Up to 3 friends or family members can ride in the parasail together and share the moment—from a seated position on the back deck you will feel the boat pull away as you almost imperceptibly lift up into the air. The Kevlar towline is reeled out from a winch so smoothly that it feels as if the boat simply leaves you while your view becomes increasingly more beautiful as you climb higher and higher, leaving the gravity-bound world below.
For the more adventurous, they can provide an incredible experience that is called a “free fall” where the captain slows the boat and lets you float down with the parachute until you almost touch the water, then he hits the throttle and up you come again! Of course, they can add a little “splash” as well, for those of you who prefer to cool off before returning to the deck.
Everyone lands softly back onto the deck as the captain reels the line back in. By the way, the captains are US Coast Guard certified and have years of parasailing experience.
