Had an amazing times riding the jetskis to see dolphins. We saw a couple of packs on the way out to the pier. Then we rode full speed, jumping waves and getting the adrenalien pumping to another location (no luck there). Came back to our original spot and saw a couple more packs, so close one swam right beside us,... More

It was so cool! Me and two friends went parasailing for the day. The two guys driving our boat were SUPER nice and friendly! It was a wonderful experience I would love to do again.

My cousin & I went parasailing with this company. Their service is so awesome, they made sure we are aware of what to do and not to do in parasailing. Also they were very helpful in making sure our life vest jacket is in correctly and made sure we get back in the boat.

Based on Trip Advisor reviews we chose Dockside for a Waverunner Dolphin Tour. We arrived early, checked in, paid, and waited and waited. Our tour was to start at 9:30. At 9:45 some one said - Oh, are you guys waiting?? At that time we were rushed onto waverunners to join another group in the harbor (it appeared from another... More

Parasailing with Amber and Clay was very safe and organized. They explained everything thoroughly as we went along. We would highly recommend them.

We did the waverunner dolphin tour and all I can say is WOW! Only drawback I saw which is easy to fix is the lack of preparedness as it pertains to licensing. they could have told us over the phone that if you you born after a certain year you are required to pass a 25 question test. Its still... More

My family and I had an absolutely amazing time parasailing with the crew at Dockside! Everything is very reasonably priced and worth every penny of it! Our dockhands, Amber and Clay, we're SO much fun and I will be sure to recommend Dockside to ANY of my friends/family who visit Destin. We had such a blast! I can't wait to... More

Our daughter asked to visit the beach for her 17th birthday and we wanted to do something really special. Our family usually doesn't spend money on frivilous entertainment, so it was a stretch for us to consider doing so. We called around to compare prices, finding Dockside watersports in Destin was very reasonable. We decided to take a ride on... More

They offered us a great deal while we were out looking at the different companies at the harbor. They overbooked us and we had to wait another thirty minutes. It was the first time to go up for all nine of us and they did a great job. Amber did a great job of calming the fears of the younger... More
