Once you’re up there, you’ll love the view you get of Anna Maria Island and even into mainland Florida.

What to Expect
If you’ve never been parasailing, there’s no need to be nervous. The experience might seem scary, but it’s safe even for the smallest passengers. If you can sit, you can fly! Many parasailing companies will allow children to fly as long as they weigh 30 pounds or more, but of course, ask your individual company if this is a concern.
Plan Your Visit
Parasailing in Anna Maria Island is just one of the incredible experiences you can have here! By staying in one of our Anna Maria Island vacation rentals, you can get involved in this and so much more!
Once you get strapped in, your captain will show you how to sit to prepare for flying. You’ll then be lifted high into the air. You might think it would be incredibly loud or turbulent with the strong winds around you, but parasailing is a surprisingly quiet and smooth experience. You’ll be in complete bliss as you float above the hustle and bustle below. Your captain will lower you down slowly and allow you to choose whether you want to be dipped in the water or land on the boat.
