From the beginning, Craig and his team were awesome! My family of six requested stand-up paddle boards and he was able to make sure there were enough for all of us all at the same time. When we arrived, he informed us that it was a bit windy on the harbor and offered to let us cancel if we felt unsafe on the waters. We weren't going to do that of course, but still I thought that was pretty cool of him to put customer service at the top. Anyway, we had a great time and made some funny memories pushing each other in the water. Thank you, Craig and the Hampton Beach Parasail Team! read more

Amazing experience! The Captain and Crew were so much fun and made our parasailing a Hampton Beach Favorite memory!

I called and booked and appointment for the next day, very easy and great customer service. Due to the rainy July we had to come back a few times before we got to go out, but the wait was worth it! As other reviewers have mentioned, we were up in the air for about 15 minutes, which is plenty of time. I do wish some of the photos taken were more zoomed in, but I think what we got was worth the value of the package. Overall a great, unique experience! read more

Everyone was so wonderful and I felt so safe and secure. Had a blast, definitely going again!

Was ok. Girl in office friendly and informative. Boat Stuart's, Nothing special extra done. Very expensive

We rented a beach cottage for the week at Hampton. We had 6 kids, plus a few others that came up for the day all ranging between the ages of 15-5. It's very hard trying to entertain all the kids for 24hrs a day. We noticed the parasailing boat and thought it would be fun. Called that night and got an appointment for the next morning. But we rescheduled to be the last trip of the day. Total of 3 adults, and 5 kids went on this trip. The youngest age 5. 3 of the kids were scared and 1 adult was super nervous. However the crew made the fears disappear. They were super fun, explained instructions well, and was very patient with the nervous fliers. The view was amazing and this trip was a memory that will last forever. read more

See all

What a terrific experience!! Captain Mike and his team were friendly, knowledgable, and safety minded without sacrificing any of the fun. We went out on a beautiful, almost wind-less day, and sailed high up over Hampton Beach. You get 15 minutes up in the air but it feels like longer. Hampton Beach Parasailing is a vaca must- do and a great way to celebrate the end of summer! read more

Hampton Beach Parasail & Paddle Board - Hampton Beach Parasailing - Paddleboarding Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

My sister in law & husband went out with them yesterday August 19, 2017 on their 2:30 boat. We were told that they had to be there before 2:10. The morning of I called to ask about having our daughter ride on the boat to watch & was told that there was room at that point because it was only my husband, sister in law & one other couple scheduled to go. When they arrived early & were told that the boat wouldn't be leaving until 3 & that it was a full boat (12 passengers). When out on the ocean everyone was told the order in which they would be parasailing. You'd think that it would be in the order that they paid. Nope. My sister in law & husband (one of the first to pay & reserve a spot) were told they were LAST!!!!!! So after siting on the boat watching all the other groups go they finally had their turn. Only to get up in the air & have something happen to the boat that caused them to go into the water. Para-sail & all! The deck hand had to jump in & rescue them because they were being pulled under the water by the para-sail that sinking. Apparently they had a cooler on board the boat with alcohol in it. Alcohol that the Captain Todd kept offering my husband & sister in law. Once on land rather than offer them a refund of their trip they offered to take them out to dinner, offered them shirts & sweatshirts. When I arrived to pick them up I walked into the shack to see my sister in law hysterical in a corner crying, the deck hand drinking a Heineken & Captain Todd walking & acting in a manner that made me question his sobriety. When I questioned as to what was happening because obviously I 100% sober & wanted to understand the whole situation. Captain Todd was VERY RUDE & told me he was not discussing anything because they were done for the day! I then told him that we would let the police handle the situation. I walked out of the shack to retrieve a cell phone Captain Todd followed me & went to my husband sitting in our car clearly still upset to tell him how I was calling the cops & asking to him to make me stop my phone call. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE HE WAS VERY WELL AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A LOT ON THE LINE BECAUSE OF THE WHOLE SITUATION. A FULL REFUND WASN'T OFFERED UNTIL ONE OF THE POLICE OFFICERS SPOKE TO NATALIE & TODD. WE WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN FOR ANYTHING NOR WOULD WE RECOMMEND TO ANY OF OUR FRIENDS & FAMILY DO THE SAME. THANK GOD WE DIDN'T PAY FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO RIDE ALONG TO WITNESS WHAT WENT ON. IT'S BAD ENOUGH MY 4 YOUNG CHILDREN AGES 10 TO 3 HAD TO WITNESS THIS ACCIDENT FROM THE BEACH. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE & WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN update! i also posted the same review about this business on Facebook. they blocked me! Imagine that. read more

I made a reservation online, which they took a deposit of $110.88 from my account, that was okay at the time until, the day of... We get there after a hour drive and the place is completely closed, no one there and no one answering the phone!! Finally after about 10 minutes the guy anwsers, tells me he thought he called and cancelled, HE DIDN'T. He says he's going to email me a gift card and refund me my money, Well guess what 5 days later, NO Gift Card and NO REFUND. They kept my money, won't return my calls and the Phone actually doesn't even ring now, it goes straight to voicemail. On top of that they had the nerve to send me an email saying thank you for parasailing with us...This place is a joke and nothing but a SCAM!! Do not trust them and do not gamble having your money taken from you from this so called business that is so unprofessional!!! read more

Great and gorgeous Day! Brave men on board. No longer afraid of heights! Doing the 1000ft next time. One word of advice, don't let drunk people on the boat! read more

My husband and I purchased an hour lesson with rental on a weekday afternoon. We had spent the morning at the beach and just walked to the shop, although there is paid parking available. The employees were very friendly and helpful, making us "newbies" feel comfortable right away. Our lesson in the cove was perfect. Our instructor was patient, thorough, and encouraging. She had us venturing out of the cove in no time and even went above & beyond by taking some pictures for us. This is a great activity to do while spending the day at the beach. read more

The crew was fantastic and this was a great experience! We purchased the picture package as well, and thought it was great that everyone got their own SD card with multiple pictures on it -- that is such a great concept! The only critique is that more than half of the pictures were blurry, but the few pictures we did get, still made the $50.00 picture package worth it. Thanks for the ride! read more

Hampton Beach Parasail should receive a rating of zero, but that wasn't an option. Their customer service was completely nonresponsive. Their website guarantees that this will be the best part of your vacation or it's free. That's a huge boast for a company that wouldn't even call me back to book the tour. It's extremely disappointing because I was excited to try parasailing. I discovered this company on Groupon and bought their "deal" for one parasail with a digital photo/video package. Note that the Groupon price for this was more than the price on their web site, but since it included the photo/video package I thought it was worthwhile. Then came my multiple attempts to book myself and a friend to do the tour. I left 3 messages on their voice mail asking them to call me back to book. (No one ever actually answers the phone.) They never returned one phone call. Then I tried to book it through their web site but I couldn't put in my Groupon code anywhere so I exited without completing the booking. A day after I left the tour in my cart on their web site, I got a follow-up email asking if they could assist me in completing the booking. I replied that I would greatly appreciate their help. I told them what I was trying to do and gave them my Groupon voucher number. No response. I gave them a few days and tried another reply. Nothing. I went to Groupon and got my money back. I got the distinct impression that they did not want to assist Groupon customers specifically, but maybe they are this terrible to all customers. If they don't want Groupon customers, then they should not have put a deal on Groupon. No matter what the situation, my experience with this company was horrible and I hope this review saves someone else from the same aggravation. Do yourself a favor and find another company with which to try parasailing. read more

Awesome place for parasailing.......very friendly staff.... they keep your safety at first priority .......more fun when you are in air.... :) read more

The captain and his first mate made the experience great. They were cracking jokes the whole time, which made the ride out to sea just as fun as the parasailing itself. They also knew their stuff, and we felt very safe. Breathtaking views from the sky! Awesome way to spend an overcast morning. read more

From my first phone call to the end of our 1st parasailing adventure it was a pleasure. The young lady that answered the phone truly knew what it meant to provide exceptional customer service... To arriving and still having a ton of questions she was able to further assist with the upmost patience. Once on the boat the captain and his helper were fun, helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure my entire family had an amazing day filled with great memories. My kids are already asking when we can go again and hands down we will be back. I'm sure there are other places but when you receive such great care and customer service, why bother messing with that. read more

My daughter and friend went parasailing. We called to make the appointment and get information. Asked how many could go on the boat. Cost, time frame etc. went to our appointment and checked in. There were 9 of us in all... Only 2 were actually parasailing and we all wanted to join them which was why we asked how many allowed on the boat - we were told " up to 10 people". We had a younger child with us and asked the ladies if they had a life jacket for her and they assured us there were life vests on the boat.... It was obvious the younger child was NOT parasailing! She shows us the way to the boat and off we all go.... Another customer was walking down to the landing as well and heard us all talking ... She informed us that we would not be able to all go on the boat without a waiver and fee! She has also been mislead and misinformed the prior day. So I went back to the office and after many DIRECT questions, I find out that the boat is full of parasailing passengers and no room for any of us as spectators and there indeed was an additional fee of $30.00 and a waiver to sign! The young ladies in the office acted like I was the idiot and assumed I should know all of this! Apparently they need to 1) brush up on customer service 2) inform the customer para sailers are the only ones allowed unless prior arrangements are made at time of appointment 3) worry more about pleasing the customer instead of working on their own tan! 4) focus on repeat business! Because our group of people were made up of several different families and we all frequent the area and you can bet we are all telling people we know about our experience and NONE of us plan to recommend much less return to this business! AND!!!! On top of the $200.00 spent to parasail we had to pay a parking fee of $5.00! The ONLY positive note I have to say is... The actual crew on the boat was very enjoyable, fun, courteous and nice to look at! If they got ride of the girls in the office, they would be much better off! read more

If I could give minus stars I would. Can't believe they sent me an email to review my experience. Horrendous. Bought groupon for one-hour SUP lesson with 1/2 day rental. Made reservations a week ahead of time for 6 of us. Lesson suppose to be at 1 pm. By 1:20 finally started walking to area for lesson. The "lesson" was less than 10 minutes. Left us trying to paddleboard around docks and boats at a channel. A guy on a kayak gave us more instruction. Asked for money back but only gave me half. I was told that there was no instructor available even though I made reservations with a week notice. Would never ever go there again. I don't trust them. read more

Stay away from this business!! Took four teenage girls for parasailing. Apt for 2:20, asked us to be there at 2:00. At 3:00 the girls were taken to the boat with 6 other people. I paid for 600 ft parachute off the boat for $89 each. There were 800 and 1000 ft flight options all for more money. The captain and crew were very gregarious and with humor explained the dos and donts of boat. When it came time to get into the harness, the girls were told the 600ft rope was broken and so they were lifted 1000 ft in the chute. When they got back to office, the clerk asked them how high they went and when they responded 1000 ft, she promptly charged my credit card for the extra expense. When I asked about this, the clerk said, the guys are supposed to "upsell" on the boat.. I said this is a shady business. Her response, well, they should give their free tshirts back which is given to anyone who pays for 1000ft lift.. Appalling!!!! Stay away!!! read more

I would definitely recommend this experience. We went in last minute and the employee was able to accommodate us which was terrific. The 2 men on the boat made trip quite entertaining. All riders enjoyed themselves. What a wonderful view!!! read more

just got home from parasailing with my boyfriend and we both totally loved it! I literally rescheduled 3 times and there was never an issue, the girl who runs the front office is super nice/chill. the 2 guys on the boat were awesome - funny/laid back yet still professional and they totally made me feel at ease. the ride was pretty long too- literally one of the best experiences of my life. so calming, peaceful and scenic-made hampton beach look tiny!! you can see for miles up there!! i did a 800 ft ride with a photo package i got from groupon and it was without a doubt worth it (saved over $60!) definitely recommended from me. also i just looked at my pictures and the guy took around 150 pics! i figured we would only get a couple but he pretty much documented our whole ride, which i love. the best part is that even when you're not up in the air, you're straight chillin on a boat with music! all of our fellow riders were great too! cant wait to go again!! read more

I had so much fun! The two employees were fantastic. (Ahem if you get Hunter, you're one lucky lady. He's EXTREMELY attractive and my friend and I couldn't stop looking at him haha). They played music, cracked jokes, talked with you, etc. It's definitely worth the money. We felt very safe, they both knew exactly what they were doing. The views are great, it's fun to wave to everyone on the beach! I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a fun adventure. read more

This was an awesome experience. We did the 1000ft experience and ordered pictures. The captain and first mate were both funny and knew what they were doing. The pictures they took for us were great! A must-do! read more

i had a great time, but did not like the captain giving the patriots a hard time and I got really wet up to my neck, I was not expecting to get that wet. also we were not able to use any coupons, so it was a little expensive ,but the ride was great and we were glad we did it ,it made our vacation. read more
