I have been visiting Ocracoke Island since I was a baby. My aunt met her husband on the ferry (he's a native 'islander') while they were vacationing in Cape Hatteras 25+yrs ago. My grandmother chose to treat my cousin and I to a 1,000ft. parasailing adventure. The view was absolutely breathtaking! I didn't want it to end... and I will... More

We were really exited about this activity and were dissapointed. We thought it would be more thrilling. We were dissapointed because it was not what we expected however, people who are looking for a calm and peaceful activity will love this activity. The crew really know what they are doing, however, it feels like they are not liking their job... More

We parasailed with Captain O'Neal and his trusty first mate Kelton again this summer, (two weeks ago while staying on Ocracoke.) My husband and the kids were going up, and although I was not planning on going out this time, the captain invited me to come anyway....very nice of him! This time they all did the 800' and really loved... More

We did this on a day trip to Ocracoke. Made reservations about a week ahead for 11:00 (as the late afternoon trips tend to be windy and hence less enjoyable). We had 5 flyers, age 10 to 64 and one 67 year-old who just went along for the ride. Everyone had a nice time and enjoyed seeing the great view... More

These guys were great! We used the coupon from the Sunny Day Guide to get $10 off our morning ride. Each trip up took two people and each time aloft was in excess of 15 minutes. You get a choice of 400' or 800' feet of outlet...I did 400' with my 9 year old and it was plenty high! Beautiful... More

I just keep on coming back every time I can! Good prices, nice and friendly crew, and with a long flight time (unlike other Parasailing attractions I've been on before,) you'll defiantly find this ride worth every penny. More

If you parasail anywhere make it here. The crew really knows what they're doing. You board the boat at the Jolly Roger and are speed into the sound (the rides fun in itself) with island music pumping from the speakers. This really sets the mood for your ride. They hook you up and off you go! Not scary at all!... More

My Wife and I parasailed with Ocracoke Parasail on our last day on the island. We were hesitant to go because it was a little pricey ($100.00 with a coupon we found in the coupon book you can get at every store on Ocracoke), but we were soooo happy we went. Just after we reached our max altitude, a pod... More

My boyfriend Scott and I parasailed for the first time off the coast of Ocracoke over Labor Day weekend. Going up 800 feet allows you to see the entire island, and our captain Hans made sure we got great shots of the Ocracoke Lighthouse and the island. We even got dipped in the ocean. The entire ride was entertaining. They... More
