My college grandson and I had a marvelous time with the professional, competent, and fun staff and crew of SKW on a safe noon parasail over Siesta Key last week. We thoroughly loved being 'dipped' in the Gulf three times towards the end of our experience. The images captured by the crew proved to be great momentos. We also enjoyed... More

Original booking for parasailing was cancelled due to high winds just as we were leaving the dock in the transfer boat. Not a problem as I was not eager to ruin a 20 yr safety record! Rescheduled for the next day and it was fabulous! Everyone of the staff from the office to the guys on the boat were friendly,... More

Signed up for a paraglide session on the last day of a stay near Sarasota. Had read mixed reviews of other operators. The booking experience was fine and the ride out o the area where you glide started well. Unfortunately when we got out to the sea it was deemed too windy. The boat crew were faultless and professional in... More

My husband and son have been parasailing with SKW for the past two years and urged me to go along for just the boat ride last year as I am deathly afraid of heights and didn't want to go up with them. Well, Ben coaxed me into joining the boys and said I'd love it. He was right. We went... More

We went parasailing and jetskiing using this company. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and competent. Pricey ($80/person for parasailing, over $100 for two hours of jetskiing), but worth it. It was a great experience overall for our family. More

While on Spring Break, we brought a group of men to Siesta Key Watersports. We were told to read the release form carefully and were instructed with saftey rules. You take a smaller boat ride out to the larger boat so the trip itself can be 1/1.5 hours. Great, friendly crew who knew all of the hot places to eat... More

My two cousins and I did the 1200' trip and it was the best! We had a nice boat ride out to the gulf and the guys were really fun. We can't wait to go again! More

My husband and I enjoyed parasailing. The parasail crew was experienced and made sure that we had a great and safe experience. Although I can't swim and don't like heights, I felt totally comfortable parasailing, thanks to the instructions and assurance of the crew. The view of Siesta Key Beach, Sarasota and the ocean was amazing. Dolphins swam alongside the... More

This was a once in a lifetime experience. The crew was great and gave great instructions. They really know what you will experience so there were no surprises. It was well worth the money. Don't be afraid, just do it! More

There was an annoying 40 minute wait, which actually turned out to be because of a handicapped person being transferred between boats. It was certainly worth it though. A very exciting three person parasail ride with fun but safe staff. You can see a video of our personal ride here if you like: http://youtu.be/jEmWYkxUqeQ We went up 800 feet, for... More
