Want to see Key West from a whole new angle? Key West parasailing offers a bird’s eye view of the island plus a thrilling ride as well. Fly high above the water and gaze down on rays and fish in the shallow waters surrounding the Southernmost City. Cruise around with the birds up at their level and see what they see in the clear flats waters. Get dipped if you like, for a refreshing splash up to your toes, knees, or waist. It’s up to you! Catch the gentle breezes that flow around Key West as you sit comfortably in the special seat straps designed to hold you firmly and comfortably off the Key West parasailing boat.
What is Key West parasailing, you ask? Imagine flying a kite from a boat. Instead of holding the kite line, you tie it to a bar on the back of the boat. Now, imagine there’s a set of straps forming a seat on that kite, and you’re sitting in it! That’s basically what parasailing is all about. Let the wind hold you up as your Key West parasailing captiain drives the boat to keep the line tight. He has precise control over how fast, how high, and which direction you fly at all times.
Your Key West parasailing captain also has a mate, who is responsible for getting every flyer ready to lift off. He makes sure you’re strapped in correctly to the seat harness, that you have your personal flotation device on, and that you know what is going to happen. He’ll also take pictures of you as you fly, if you want. Then you can buy the pictures from him (or her!) after the trip, for a very special souvenir. Some mates also take DVD movies of your Key West parasailing excursion. It certainly makes a much more exciting memento than a t-shirt!
