Absolutely recommend them. Being last min planners, we didn’t know if it would be possible to get a parasailing opportunity at the time we wanted in a reasonable budget. They were very friendly and accommodating. We have a three year old who stayed in the boat while the three of us went up in turns of two. And the view and experience.. man.. made the trip totally memorable!

First time for us to parasail, hopefully not the last. Radical rides does a great job taking you out and hoisting you up. What a view! They will take a few pictures, if you ask. They made sure that my butt was in the gear probably, so I wouldn't fall out, while my oldest son felt completely comfortable--leaning back as far as he could. This was great fun!

This was such fun. We went from riding jet ski's to parasailing and all at a very reasonable price for 4. The staff is wonderful at both areas but the guys on the parasailing boat were amazing. We had such fun up in the peaceful sky. This is a must do if your visitor or live here... go try it

We had such a good experience! The two kids on the boat were so nice and the music they played was on point. Everyone was so kind from the booking to getting in the air. The ride felt short, but I could have stayed up there for hours and been ok. We saw dolphins and fish and everything else. It was beautiful! I would definitely recommend it and then go get drinks at Laguna's after!!
We had kids with us ages 8-18 and they all loved it too!

I am leaving a 4 star only because I was a little irritated.
My teen son and his girlfriend were going to participate. My husband, myself and our 5yr old were going to ride the boat with them. We were told the boat was full and 1 of us had to stay back, which is no problem. My husband stayed behind. We were driven to the boat dock. The van was not full, so we asked again and was still told the boat was full. As we arrived to the dock and boarded the boat, we realized that there were 2 additional passengers with us. These 2 people met us at the dock. They had no bracelets like the rest of us had. They filled out waiver on board. Come to find out, the lady was the girlfriend to our guide (Alex) and she had her daughter. Ok, still not a problem. The three of them parasailed last. HERE IS MY PROBLEM: Those three got a much longer ride than any of the others on the boat. And obviously didn't pay because they had no bracelet.Everyone, including my 5yr old, aboard noticed this.
Other than this issue, it was a great experience for my son and his girlfriend.

Rented 2 Jet Ski for 1h for my wife and myself and took our two kids (11 & 13) for the ride. Whole family had lots of fun.
However, the area you’re allowed to ride is not very big, so probably 30 mins would have been enough

We went parasailing right after our wedding ceremony on the beach. I have to say I enjoyed this part way more! Alex and Caine were friendly and patient. We called ahead for reservations to make sure they could accommodate a wedding dress. They never had, but were willing to try. The Playlist they had going was great. They were amazing with our kids and family who also went with us. For anyone considering going I HIGHLY recommend radical rides. They made the entire experience comfortable and fun. The ride was smooth and very calming, we even saw dolphins. We will definitely be back next time we visit.

Took 2- 18 year olds and 2- 13 year olds parasailing. Since there was one extra seat on the boat, I got to ride out for free to watch. Very efficient set up, everyone was easy to work with and super friendly.

We will be coming next week. What are your hours on Monday (7/23) and Tuesday (7/24)? Should we make a reservation or is a drop in okay? And if we pre-pay for a certain number of hours do we have to use them all at the same time or can we spread out over the days? I appreciate your help!

We made a reservation but don’t know that they are required. I don’t know about the other. Just give them a call. That’s what we did.

How much does it cost

It was $50 per person. Also it is in the bay, not over the ocean. We were told by the operator that they are no longer allowed to operate off of the beach.
Not related to the post, how are the waters down there?

The water was beautiful. However, when we went it was freezing.
