- FrequentFlier5517010 contributionsBirthday tripTalk about an adventure! That was fun! To go up in the sky and view the beautiful clear blue waters was so peaceful. We were up for about 20 mins before coming down and the next group went. Time goes by fast but the view is breathtaking and will definitely do it againWritten October 9, 2024
- georgenp30 contributionsGreat timeWe had a great time with a fun group. Not fussy, great trip, very safe and wonderful. Covered the highlights and were very professional.Written August 20, 2024
- casoniav0 contributionsAmazing-Must Do Experience!My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary. We booked this as one of our activities. The boat picked us up on time and we had an amazing experience! Willie and Captain Marvin took great care of us and Willie even used my phone to take pics and video of our experience. I highly recommend this.Written June 25, 2024
- bethcV6185LT0 contributionsGreat first time parasail!Had a super experience with Captain Marvin and his first mate whose name I don't remember (and was very nice and took great pics/video with our phone). Perfect communication on pick-up point (super easy right off the beach), picked up exactly on time, explained how it all worked (very simple hook-up, take-off and landing), and had so much fun! Would definitely recommend.Written May 6, 2024
- Catfran260 contributionsGreat fun!My husband and I went parasailing for the first time in Provo and it was fantastic. We booked two days before and there were only 3 of us on the boat for the 9am slot. Capt. Marvin picked us up right from the beach. Clear communication and professional.Written May 5, 2024
- philH5987NT0 contributionsCaptain Marvin's is Simply the Best!Coming to Grand Cayman and want to have the best water experience possible? Than you have to go with Captain Marvin's and no one else! We went to the world famous Sting Ray City before making 2 more stops to snorkel on the reefs (tour #4). The High Rider crew was just amazing ensuring our safety first and then making sure we had the best possible experience on the water. We've been to the islands many times, but this was the best charter we have bee on yet!Written February 26, 2024
- jsmales240 contributionsDisappointed in communicationI booked this trip a month in advance. The communication was good up until the day of our booking. I was sent a picture of the boat to look for. A different one came to the area we were standing but we didn't get on it as it wasn't what we were told. I received a call from the operator saying they had to change it. We had to wait an extra hour and a different company fulfilled our excursion. The communication should've been sent to me in advance of our time slot.Written February 18, 2024
- Escape628492835210 contributionsI would recommend !The ride was very relaxing and calming. The workers were very reassuring & helpful. I would suggest confirming the tour date & time a day before or on the day. All in all I would go again!Written February 5, 2024
- Christina M0 contributionsWonderful Parasailing ExperienceWe had a wonderful parasailing experience! Captain Marvin and his first mate Smiley Face were very welcoming. They accommodated our pick-up request. The boat was in good condition. They provided clear instructions. The view and flight were amazing! We would definitely book with them again.Written December 14, 2023
- JimRiesterer0 contributionsBio-bay tour: like being in avatar movieWe had an AMAZING time on the bioluminescence tour with captain Suga Suga Bear and Michael. We were very fortunate for sunny hot weather (that recharges the plankton), no rain and no moon (so as better to view the effects). There were three stops on the 2-hour tour beginning at starfish point then on to jelly fish point but the highlight was the bio-bay. With calm waters in this extra salty bay, the plankton glow with a bluish light when agitated by motion in the water. You are provided with a thin stretch onesie to guard against the small annoyance of mini jelly fish (stink is like a mosquito bite-a bit itchy) then get in the shallow dark water with a snorkel and mask. With your head down the effect you see is like something out of the Avatar movie-each breast stroke stimulates thousands of time bluish flashes in the water. WOW! Just take you time and spread out a bit and maybe circle the boat to the darker side for greatest effect. Mesmerizing! Having been on the island for 5 days doing most everything-this was the best, most memorable experience of our vacation. A MUST do! And be sure to go with Captain Marvin (or sister company Sweet Spot) for their environmental sensibility and fun crew.Written December 4, 2023

- jennytU1754QM0 contributionsStingray city tourSnorkeling trip with 2 stops. Small boat excursion which was fantastic! Polo took great pictures while everyone was enjoying themselves. Leo and Mitchel did a great job getting us everywhere and keep us safe! Great entertainment from the 3 of them!Written November 4, 2023
- W4166OPjenniferv0 contributionsGreat experience - Stingray City TourWe did the stingray city tour and it was incredible. We were able to start with snorkeling in one area, boated to the stingrays where we got to hold them and feed them, and then finally boated to the barrier reef for more snorkeling. Leo, Mitchell and Polo were fantastic and so much fun!Written November 4, 2023

The experience of parasailing was fantastic. The crew was nice and effective, so we were in the air in no time. My only comment is that I wish we would have been in the air for at least half an hour. It felt like in 15 minutes we were just stepping out of the boat.
However, I do recommend doing this activity as the scenic views are breathtaking in Turks & Caicos.

Wow - what a ride! Captain Marvin and his crew were awesome! Not only did we get the best views of TCI we thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip from pick-up right in front of our villa to drop-off. No wonder they come so highly recommended. If you are vacationing in TCI and want an excellent parasailing adventure seek no other than Captain Marvin.

Incredible…we had a blast. Captain Walter and Smiley Face were the perfect hosts and companions — two hours of parasailing, taking in the island and feeding the iguanas. Perfect trip, we wouldn’t change a thing. We’ll be back next year…!

It was amazing! Breathtaking, beautiful, and exhilarating experience. The captain and mate were fun and totally professional. They even sent me pics and a video when I didn't have my phone. I went up with my two daughters ages 9 and 12 and we LOVED it.

A wonderful experience in every way. Marvin and Bob were professional and friendly and have excellent safety protocol. I can’t recommend them enough!! It was my first time parasailing and I loved every minute of it. We didn’t bring our phone and they used their phone to take some pics and sent them to us on WhatsApp. You can’t go wrong with Captain Marvin! I have nothing but good things to say about the experience and hope to go back. Thank you Marvin and Bob!!

Both guys were super friendly and had a routine down so no time was wasted. The kids loved being way up high, getting dipped in the water, and then going way back up. Safety and fun were both priorities.

They will pick you up from anywhere and drop you off. The tour consisted of 2 stops, 1 to swim with stingrays, and 1 out further to see various undersea life. They provide water and fruit punch but no other food. The stingray stop was for about 10-30 minutes and they allow you to feed, hold and even kiss (for 7-yrs good luck) the stingrays. The water here is waist-deep. No danger. The undersea stop was for about 40 minutes and they provided us with snorkeling mask and flippers. They also make sure everyone is safe and watch out for people who are not strong swimmers since the water is 10-20ft deep. We really enjoyed it and the crew of Mitchel, Richard, and Paulo were entertaining. Well worth the money. Would go again. Thanks guys.
