FAQs
Will I get wet?
You can choose if you would like to get wet or stay dry! Take-off and landing will be on the back of the boat without touching the water so we can keep you completely dry. We do offer water touches! Let the crew know and we can let you down into the water for a toe touch or full dunk. The choice is all yours.
What can I take with me on the boat?
We don’t have storage for loose items on the boat so we advise against bringing anything that you do not want to carry the entire time. Phones and GoPros are welcome, these are just at your own risk of damages or losses. Large items cannot be brought on the boat and can be left behind in free storage available at the office.
What if the weather is bad?
It’s important to us that you enjoy your parasail experience to its maximum potential and return with your family and friends in the future. Your safety and comfort is our number 1 priority and for this reason, all of our parasail crew pay particular attention to any impending weather that may impact your tour. On the Gold Coast we can see some unpredictable tropical weather consisting of wind, rain and or lightning. Parasailing will not be conducted in these conditions and operation will be determined by the parasail skipper. Any bookings cancelled on our behalf are fully refundable.
How high is the flight?
Our rope is 120m (400ft) long! You will fly about 80 meters or 23 stories above the water.
Height and age requirements?
Height isn’t so important but overall size. Kids must be at least 7 years old and weigh a minimum 25kgs to fit our smallest harnesses. Any children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult on the boat either by parasailing or observing. Observer tickets can be purchased at checkin for $50pp. As for maximum age… there is none! Parasailing is a low impact, user friendly experience for all ages.
Is it still suitable for me if I am afraid of heights?
For folks afraid of heights we tend to get mixed responses. Parasailing is a surprisingly relaxing experience when up in the air. It is quiet and calm, therefore we find those with fears of heights tend to relax and really enjoy it up there. We also have a signal you can give us at any point during your flight if you would like to come back to the boat. This is explained in our safety induction prior to your session. Overall we would say that it is a great way to test your limits and you will most likely be pleasantly surprised! Who knows maybe you will be booking a skydive straight after.
What should I wear?
If you decide to stay dry you can wear whatever you are comfortable in. Our harnesses are not restrictive with a seat similar to a swing and loose straps around your thighs. Shorts or pants would be most suitable but loose dresses or skirts with shorts under are fine also. If you would like to go for a water touch we would recommend wearing either swimmers or clothing you don’t mind getting wet. You can wear enclosed shoes or go barefoot.
When is best to book?
Due to being weather dependant, we would advise booking parasailing for the beginning of your holiday so there is more time to reschedule to a nicer day if need be. We monitor weather forecasts and may reach out if your selected date is not looking the best.
