Do I take off and land in the water? No. You are lifted off the flight platform on the back of the boat in a seated position and land on the flight platform on your feet.
Do I get wet? Since you take off and land on the boat you will get wet only if you want to get dipped in the water during your ride.
What should I wear? You can wear anything you like. Harness straps go around your legs and a waist belt around your waist. You only get wet if you want a dip with your ride.
Do I have to know how to swim? No. Although it's a very good idea since you will be participating in a watersport. Everyone who parasails must wear a life vest.
Can I fly tandem with another person? Tandem flights depend on the wind and wave conditions of that particular day and the weight of the participants. Most days we can fly 300 lbs. Ideal conditions we can safely lift over 400 lbs.
Should I make a reservation? We take reservations in person only. Come down and see us early in the day to make sure you get a spot. Over the years we have found that we stay on schedule much better by taking reservations in person.
I'm staying on the island for a couple of days. When should I go parasailing? Don't wait until your last day to come parasailing with us, it might rain that day. If you've got a nice day, better jump on it. After all we're talking about Lake Erie weather.
Do I need experience? No experience is needed. We will give you instructions on the boat. Basically you sit back and enjoy the ride. The sail will fly itself.
Will you open if it's raining? We can't fly in the rain. If it clears up we'll open up. The wind can also shut us down. If it's excessively windy we must shut down.
Do you rent jet skis? We don't rent jet skis. We do rent stand up paddle boards and kayaks from the mainland on Marblehead.
