The captain even took us to see dolphins on our way back in. It truly made my whole week. Just an awesome memory made that I will... More

I had never been parasailing before, so I was excited and nervous. The crew put us at ease and explained everything fully before we went up to parasail. Once we were in the air, we saw 2 dolphins and a sea turtle, in addition to the beautiful ocean and beach areas. We were celebrating my son's 18th birthday, so he... More

So many parasailing options in Destin from which to chose. Took a little research using Google to find the shortlist of the best local businesses. It was hard to find a trustworthy business that we felt safe to take our three children parasailing. Dockside was a perfect choice for us. The staff were so friendly and helpful. And the Captain,...

their equipment is in the worst possible condition. Then when after you confront them with the problem of their equipment they blame the customer and refuse to give refund. This guy is making a bundle just by taking peoples money under false pretenses. and the knots they use on parasails are not safe. More

Awesome staff. Our tour guide made sure to take the time to put us first, was as adventurous as we wanted to be. The dolphins were not very cooperative, but it was an awesome ride around the gulf and bay. I highly recommend these folks!!! Equipment was new, and very well taken care of. Nothing but good things to say... More
