The crew was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend buying a photo package. If you do the crew takes pictures with a professional camera and gives you a SD card with your pictures.

We rented 4 jet skis for the family. We did not mind the beat up looking Jet Skis but were very disappointed with the staff that showed no interest to help our mom that fell in the water when she was coming back. By the time they even left the dock we decided to jump on the water ourselves to help her get on the Jet ski. Hopefully this review gets management to act and train their staff to care for people.

Chris and Kyle made it a fun outing and made you feel safe. Professional and down to earth. Highly recommend them for the best parasailing experience. And for the ladies, you will enjoy the view they are cuties! Chris has a magnificent beard.PS Dont fall for the $20 parking scam at the top of the hill. There is parking at the bottom of the hill.

Parasailing is absolutely awesome! My daughter and I were worried we were not going to get to go..there were wind advisories the week we went. The guys that took us were fabulous... We went on the early morning deal and got picture card. Could not have been more pleased. Thank you!

My sister and I went parasailing for the first time today with Chris and Will. It was absolutely perfect. The online reservations were easy, filling out the online waiver meant no paperwork to fill out when we arrived, parking was simple and free. Chris and Will were very friendly, it was a relaxing and positive experience. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back next trip!

Really cool, he asked to dip us in the water waist deep and we said take us all the way under. He did it, we also didn’t buy the photos but he still gave them to us for free. I also saw a dolphin, great sight seeing.

This was our 1st experience parasailing and we absolutely loved it. The entire experience was great, from the check in desk to the actual flying. Everyone was super chill and friendly. You get beautiful views of the ocean and coastline. Also, if you get there a little early there are a couple cool little marina bars right on the water in the same location. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to having a relaxing time a few hundred feet in the air!!🤙

My friend and I went yesterday, and it was great! The crew was wonderful and very safe. The captain even turned the boat around so we could get a good look at some dolphins as we were heading back to the docks. Recommend them highly!

Review №42

This place is a joke. Do NOT use them. When I signed up to go I paid online. I paid for 2 flyers and 4 spectators. When we got there I was told my son was too young to ride on the boat, and was told that they were not going to issue a refund for denying him to go even though their website does not show any age limits! After some conversation they issued a refund for my son, but were not going to issue one for an adult to stay and watch him. After my mother asked if they were going to watch him, then they then decided to issue two refunds. When we got out there it was too windy to sail and the trip was canceled. I understand that is a safety issue and am not angry about that. However, we could not reschedule our trip and needed a refund for the whole thing. It has been two weeks and we still have not received our refund. I called today and was told that since I paid online I needed to contact their website and ask for a refund from their website. How can I do that when their website has their phone number as their contact information? WHAT A HASSLE! Why should I be the one contacting the maker of their website? If you as a business owner know that your customers will not get refunded through your website then you need to handle that! Use somebody else that is more professional! I am going to have to dispute the charges with my bank now.

My family had such a blast on our Destin vacation! The best and most memorable experience was our parasailing adventure! The crew was so friendly with my kids and they were so careful to make sure they were safe and werent scared when the chute filled with air and took them up! The pictures were a great token to take home and show off to friends and family and will stay in our album for years to come! We cant wait to come back!

Friendly staff...parasailing gives you nice view from a height of about 500ft... the only drawback is you’re in the air for no more than 10 minutes.

Amazing time! Great service! EVERY employee we interacted with cared and went out of their way to make our parasailing adventure memorable. Brittnee was ESPECIALLY caring and understanding of our schedule and specific needs. She spent over 15 minutes on the phone during booking explaining the process, answering questions, and offering additional information. Thank you!!! Best service in Destin. Will and Jerod were an amazing crew. They worked especially hard to work with our extremely apprehensive daughter in order to make her time enjoyable. We can’t thank these three people enough! Highly recommend!!!

I was really happy with this place. We called several places in the morning looking for open spots for parasailing, and this place had the best prices and most availability. the receptionist on the phone was super polite, making it a pleasant experience. And the guys doing the parasailing were great at what they do. Smooth ride & even saw dolphins and sharks. Thanks guys!

We tried to cancel bc the fog was so thick that you could barely see across the bay. They said that they couldn’t refund bc of their policy. They promised we could see them the driver comes up and says that we have to wait 30 minutes bc it is too foggy! Seriously? This place sucks. Couple of teenagers running the place with one of their girlfriends hanging out behind the counter with them.

My husband and I took our 3 kids. The crew was unbelievable! Not only was the parasailing so much fun, they told us all about Destin. They told us the resturants that were the best. Really just super guys and a captain who knew his stuff. He was very knowledgeable with the boat and the sea. If u are worried about taking youre kids like we were he will put u at ease and make u feel safe!

I took my two daughters, and we had a great experience. My youngest was afraid. The crew was fantastic, and they helped keep her calm and get her in the air. She loved it. We all did. We decided to go parasailing a second time later in the week, and we went back to Destin Parasailing (Extreme H20 Watersports). I highly recommend them.

My fiance and I were looking for a place to go parasailing near Ft. Walton / Destin while on vacation. I called Xtreme h2o (Destin Parasailing when googling for places... ) based off of the positive reviews they had received. We were not disappointed. The three staff members we interacted with (Craig booked us, Brian piloted and Andrew was the deckhand / photographer) were very friendly and made the trip enjoyable. We got a picture CD of experience and were able to see some dolphins with the extra bit of time left over from our parasailing. These guys and the overall experience were fantastic I finished out a Google+ profile specifically to post this review... If you are in the Destin area and want to go parasailing, go with this company.

My boyfriend and I were in Destin for a relaxing 7 day vacation. We had no real plans to go parasailing but on our last full day we saw some chutes out over the ocean and decided to call some places and go. I had not gone before that and honestly was pretty nervous. I am afraid of heights but wanted to try it. I never expected it to be so much fun and such a great experience.We googled Parasailing in Destin and this business was the first on the list and had the best reviews. We called and were able to get an appointment within the next 30 minutes. No turning back now! It was easy to make an appointment and the location was easy to find. Dont follow Google Maps lol. They told us how to get there. When we got there we were greeted by some very laid back fun guys named Andrew and Brian. Unfortunately we were still waiting on 2 more people who never showed but the guys said they would make up for it and were sorry we had to wait. We were offered complimentary photos of our trip and would be given a dolphin tour. So nice of them!The guys were a lot of fun and really helped me (super nervous) feel safe and secure. I must say when they let the chute out and it filled with air and I saw how big it was I began to feel nervous. My boyfriend and I were first to go. Andrew began to put the gear on us and strapped us up. Then we were asked to go sit on the back of the boat. Over all my nerves Andrew and Brian were very good at making sure I was doing what I was supposed to in order to be safe and have a good experience. I just remember Andrew telling me not to worry and to have a blast.We were let out and the chute took us up, way up. I got scared and covered my eyes a bit but once up at the top it was amazing! Not scary at all. It is so quiet and smooth and the view is spectacular. We were told it was over or close to 500 feet up. Our ride was not too short at all; I think we got a good long ride. We saw lots of jellyfish along the beach; mustve been over a thousand but it was very cool to see. It was so much fun. When we were reeled back, in Brian the captain of course dipped us in the ocean which got us a little wet but was worth it.After the others went and were finished were soon surrounded by dolphins. At least 30 or more Atlantic Bottle-nose were all around us. They were so close I could hear them squeaking. Brian and Andrew knew a lot about them and told us lots of information, the most important being not to touch them or pay $3,000! Brian took us around in circles for what seemed like forever trying to get them to jump and play in the wakes. A few of them did and jumped up out of the water. I will never forget that.I am so happy with our decision to go parasailing and it was well worth it to go with these guys. They were so friendly and helpful, especially when I was getting cold feet. If youre in the area and want to parasail give these guys a call and ask for Brian or Andrew. They will take good care of you, just like they did me.
