    Great fun, too much $$$$
    It was a great experience and a lot of fun, but it was way too expensive with lots of extra fees. We thought we were going for $29 per person but it ended up being $255 for a Family of 4. That included $20 each fuel fee, $30 taxes and $25 mandatory tip. Fun, unique experience but be prepared $.

    Great sailing, great equipment, it's a business!
    I was a bit leery to rent a hobie cat here as some of the reviews talk about hidden fees and bad service. I had neither! The guys weren't the FRIENDLIEST duo I've run across on my trip, but they got me set-up and on the water in no time. The "instructions" were minimal, but I have some sailing experience, and it came back to me easily. The boats are in good condition, and reactive to the wind. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would recommend these guys, but don't expect a lot of friendliness, it's all business.

    worst experience ever ‼️‼️
    DONT GO HERE THE WORST EXPERIENCE we had to wait 45 min just to go in the water and when we got out they said 2 jetskis had scratches when we were very distant from each other bec they tell you of there are damages you have to pay even when the jetski still works you need to put 150 deposit when they went down to check it out my friend wiped the scratch and it came right off so they just want your money horrible customer service just don’t waste you money they are gonna try to make you pay for damages that probably was already there.

    Parasailing
    The parasailing was fun! The boat staff was down to earth—gave clear instructions and good vibes! Only reason I gave "very good" instead of "excellent" because their prices [across] online compared to in person is not consistent. Online you see prices like $165 but in person its $112. I advise that people to pay in person compared to the various prices displayed online.

    Capt Joel is AWESOME
    I was a little disappointed that the Description on viator was a little misleading for the additional money I had ti pay pp which was more than I paid online. It he guy checking me in could tell I was frustrated but he remained professional and I explained everything. Capt Joel was amazing from start to finish. My daughter and I had a BLAST! He went as fast as we wanted and slowed down when we asked. It was a great experience and we will definitely do it again!

    Overall a great experience!
    We did jet skiing and parasailing. The parasailing experience was amazing. We would rate it as a 4.5. Captain Pierre was very knowledgeable and fun. I’m personally afraid of heights but the entire experience was smooth and peaceful. The jet skiing was alright. Just a heads up that you need to pay $10 to take a test in order to ride. We were supposed to be out for an hour but it was less than that. It also took awhile to get to and from the area where we were allowed to jet ski. We would rate the experience a 3/5.

    It was great experience overall. Thanks to the guys!
    It was fun. Shawn & Tom were absolutely wonderful. All of the JetSki guys were as well but the people working the desk can go to hell.

    There is additional fees.
    They were really nice, funny and friendly people. There are additional prices that is not listed on here when booking. For the banana boat and jet skiing we ended up paying 265 per person after additional fees, but we were only told that there is a $30 gas fee.

    Not What’s Expected
    The only thing my boyfriend wanted to do in Miami on his birthday trip was parasail and jet ski. This place did both so we jumped in an Uber and off we went. We arrived at 10:20 and after doing paperwork (don’t forget your IDs) for 20 minutes and $500 later, were ready to join the first group of parasailers. Except the two of us only made 8 and they wouldn’t leave without a full boat of 12 people. So we settled in and made friends until 4 more people wandered up and wanted to parasail. At 11:20 we had our 12 people and we were ready to head out. The captain wasn’t overly nice but the guy who helped with the parasail (forgot his name, he lost his hat in the water) was. We were promised one hour of boat time and ten minutes up in the parasail. The first two people who went up got nearly 10 minutes but we were the fourth couple to go up and we got 4 minutes. FOUR minutes. $210 plus a $45 tip afforded us 4 minutes. We were told it’s because the boss on shore was rushing them because they had more people ready to go out. We got back to the pier around 12:15 and were ready to jet ski with two other couples. Bobby, our jet ski tour guide was exceptional and funny and conversational- which he had to be because we waited until 1:00 to get on the jet skis. Because the company wanted to ensure we had more boats going out which makes them more money. The jet ski experience was amazing and a full hour. We got done at 2:00 with both our adventures. One couple who did both things with us missed their 2:00 reservation and the other 2 had to rush to the airport to catch their 4:00 flight. So this 2 hour event turned in to a four hour day which I don’t think anyone was anticipating. PS. Just got home and checked my CC bill and besides the $500 I was also charged an additional $150. So make sure you check your statements when you go here.

    Upon arrival we had to take a jet ski exam which was frustrating because we stood in the sun while doing it.
    Had an amazing time jet skiing and parasailing. The stuff was really friendly and helpful. I would 1000% recommend doing it if you on your trip and looking for activities.

First off, the wave-runners are a waste of money, they are slow and reach about 32mph. Let alone, when you arrive there will be various additional fees being applied just to ride the garbage and you will need to take a boaters test. Another issues was that I had paid a $200.00 deposit for jet skiing. It has been 8 business days and I still have not received my refund. Let alone, the person I talk to informs me that I received a confirmation email and I did not. Due to her being frustrated, she consistently hangs up the phone in the middle of a conversation about understanding why I have not received my refund. People who support this business with be nothing but a number to them, they are nice receiving your money but when you need them, they DO NOT CARE!

I came here the day before my birthday. This is my first solo trip and I decided to live it up, so I decided to try parasailing. I was extremely nervous but the Captain Tom and Sam were amazing! They made me laugh, which eased my nerves a little bit. They were so friendly and funny and made the experience a thousand times better! As we were pulling out of the dock Captain Tom started playing the Jaws them and that cracked me up. Captain Tom even had everyone sing happy birthday to me, and that made me smile so much. I highly recommend them if you are considering parasailing. It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful experiences EVER! I want to come back to Miami just to do this again! Thank you guys so much!

TOM & LANDING were amazing, very knowledgeable and entertaining! I felt so safe with them. They did this job in a way that I could tell this is not just a job for them they actually enjoy doing this. Our photos were amazing, I would recommend everyone to purchase the photo package they were instantly downloaded to my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I cannot wait to visit again.

It wasn’t what we expected. We paid an additional $120 when we arrived. Had a 2 hours wait and parasailed for less then 10 minutes. The time in the air was great. Just felt ripped off . We expected one hour not one hour divided among 10-12 people. $300 for 6 minutes of parasailing. Although it was a fun 6 minutes not worth that cost.

We are happy to see that you had a good time on our parasailing experience even considering your disappointment concerning our pricing. You are getting one hour boat ride with a flight in the parachute lasting between 6 to 10 minutes, coming up to $129 + taxes per person.

My family and I were on vacation from MA and decided to do parasailing last Thursday 08/26/2021. Both captain Tom and Sam were awesome!!!! Not only did they entertain us all, especially my 7 and 10 year old girls… but they also gave me tips on not to get motion sick. I totally recommend. Well done!!!! 👏🏽😊

5 stars!!!!! Captains Tom and Sam did a great job explaining how to parasail along with their corny jokes and smiles. We had so much fun on the boat, even after our turn in the air was long over. Super professional and safe! Highly recommend to everyone!

I booked a long ago and at the day we showed we were poorly received. The lady that attended us charged extra $63 each person for gas. She asked us to wait an hour and when we came back she was rude and said that their boat for parasailing didn’t pass the inspection. THEY DONT REFUND!!! We ended up using the gas fee for other activity and kayaking that day.

The parasailing was great and we had a great time. I am giving it 3 stars for 2 reasons. 1) One employee made remarks about our masks being unnecessary and we must watch CNN which was a little uncomfortable. 2) After booking thru a 3rd party when we arrived we were told we had to pay $64 extra to cover gas & even thou we went up together just once we were double charged for the gas... bc I did account for this extra $128 I was unable to leave a tip.

We had the best time with Captain Tom and Sam. They made the experience very enjoyable, and helped us be less nervous. Captain Tom is very experienced and Sam did great interacting with us and making sure we were safe. I 100% recommend this activity, it was so peaceful and relaxing. If you’ve never done it you are missing out. Miami Watersports was very interacting and kept us informed before the process. Highly highly recommend!!

Parasailing and Tubing were a blast! We had a really great guides and a lot of fun for both attractions. The only downside was the disorganization of the entire thing. A lot of standing around waiting in the sun, no where to sit and have to park very far. There were no clear signs for each line, and no clear directions for the rules. Be sure to leave everything behind in your car. You are not allowed to take any bags with you and no shoes, including water shoes. They do offer a waterproof phone case with lanyard for $10 each and they were very handy to hold phone and car key, and a little cash to tip tour guides.
