Amazing trip...Awesome crew!! I've parasailed before with a big company but this small, family owned company blew them out of the water..no pun intended :)... More than enough time in the air, the crew was fun and friendly and the music was great! I also felt ultra safe and that's pricless to me!! I am SO happy I got the picture package too. It's been so much fun to look back at the quality pix rather than my blurry phone pix :/ Thanks ParaWest...I can't wait to go back again! read more

Our morning started with a lively group of people, excellent music and Captain Tony and Logan, hosts with smiles, jokes, and bringing those fun vibes. They guided us on safety, took pics, and basically made the trip a cut above the other guides I have had! Many had never parasailed before, but they made it easy. If I come back to key west again, I will definitely look for these two. They just made it "extra" read more

Parawest Parasailing Key West - Logan - Parasailing Near Me - Key West, Florida

What a thrill!!! We were in town this past weekend while on a cruise and wanted to do parasailing for the first time. To describe the sensation you feel while in the air, there isn't enough words....but I will say AMAZING. The boat is modern and new. While on your way to the parasailing point, you can relax and enjoy the breeze, the sun, and the blue water. They also play great music on the boat. The staff was very nice. Our guide cracked some jokes that helped me get my nerves down. We decided to purchase the pictures package and I'm glad we did because they captured great pictures of this moment. These memories will last a lifetime. I loved that they were able to upload the pictures to my phone quickly after arriving back to the dock!! read more

If you've never done it...I'd say to do it. The crew was friendly and I'm happy we did it, but was a little disappointed on a few things which prevented me from giving them a 5 star. - We scheduled the last ride on Friday which was supposed to be from 5:30 - 6:30. I was told it's an hour out and about 8-12 min in air. We were only out on the water for about 30 min total (and wished we stayed out longer (even if we weren't on the parasail). I expected to be out for an entire hour, but felt rushed since we were the only couple on the boat. Had I have known that I would have booked the 4:30 - 5:30 to guarantee the time on the water. I felt like they wanted to hurry back so they can call it a day. It's fairly pricey for only 30 minutes total (this included the ride, pictures and tip) - I can't remember the women's name that checked us in, but she told us that beer and water would be offered during ride (but it wasn't). read more

For only $35 they let you fly, or "sail" for eight to twelve minutes. When I arrived the crew were friendly and relaxed. They provided some simple instruction, but it all seemed too easy to be true. Then, I watched the couple ahead of me go first. They were going to fly together. As I watched them shoot off into the air, I was worried I made a mistake. It looked scary. What if you fall into the water, or worse, what if you get disconnected and sail off into the island? A thousand other possible scenarios ran through my mind. When they returned, the guests looked happy. They crew told me to stick on the harness and walk to the top of the boat landing. In less than 60 seconds (literally), I was up on the landing and he was saying "goodbye!" It was so effortless and relaxing -- complete opposite of what I expected. The take-off was so gentle, as was the ascent into the air. When you reached the peak, you just floated there like a cloud. It was so easy, in fact, that I had my hands off the harness in no time to take pictures and wave to the video camera. The crew members said I could flip myself upside down, but I opted to save that for next time -- I have to have something to look forward to, right!? As I soared, I witness a breathtaking view of Key West from overhead. I watched sail boats travel by, as well as big cruise ships. Jet skiers zoomed off in the distance. I also had the distant company of other parasailers who provided some color burst in the skyline. From the air, you could see the beautiful green and blue water, as well as sand bars and the coral reefs. Before I returned to the boat, the crew dipped my feet in the water several times. They then reeled me in for a smooth landing. For a small fee, the crew filmed my entire journey, and took still photographs. Check out the footage below. If you ever are in Key West, this is definitely an activity to try! I can't wait to try it again. read more

Our parasailing is just by accident. When we were at the most southern pointe, I called them and Linda answered the phone with a cheerful voice! This is a good sign! The ticket is 60 dollars per person. There was a slight wait but when we saw the ship, we were relieved. Two handsome boys were helping people getting off the boat. Another good sign, right? The sail was beautiful! The colorful key west coastal waters dotted with colorful parachutes. We ordered the go pro package which was at a holiday special for 60 dollars. The took off and the sail was memorable! We absolutely enjoyed it! Great activity and cheerful crew! Highly recommend this place since we need to keep Chris with this fun job instead of a real world one where dog eats dog. Here all he needs to be aware of is the sharks. Happy new year! read more

It has been a couple of months since we did para sailing with this company. Experience was superb. My Father in law, myself, my wife amd my 5 yr old - all of us enjoyed the para sailing . Super cool crew and very good company to donpara sailing.. PARA SAILING in key west - Go to Fury adventures. U will jus love it. read more

It was an good parasailing adventure.. it was the first time for my wife and she enjoyed it... there were about 10 of us on that particular ride and all of us were doing a tandem... its lot more fun doing a tandem.. They ask you before you get off, if you want to get wet.. We just asked for our feet and as requested we only got our feet wet.. it was a good 10 to 12 minutes in the air.. They take you really high... If you are going in the summer, get lots of sun screen and a hat/cap.. Since after your adventure you have to wait for everyone in the boat to finish theirs.. So your pretty much sitting in the sun the remaining time.... They take pictures for you.. and give you a CD.. the pictures are great.. but since we were all in tandem they charged us 40$ and said that it did not depend on number of people.. I had previously read on yelp that it was only 20$.. but I guess they just added the extra 20$ since everyone was doing a tandem and there was no one doing an individual one.. So one star knocked off... There are a lot of parasailing companies out there.. So you can choose from any.. Pretty much everyone offers the same adventure.. read more

They deserved a full five stars! I would give more if I could!! The staff was very friendly and explained everything very clearly. Chris and Chris (or c squares lol) were very helpful and fun on our first parasailing experience. We will definitely be back to parasail with them again!! read more

Seriously amazing time! We were on a cruise and wanted to book parasailing on our own. So glad we did. It was my second time but first time for my family. The service was spectacular! The crew was friendly and accommodating. They were funny and had great energy! They even had beer, water, and shots to pass around (Alcohol is given after the experience.) Juice for the kids. They also had great music playing! My family had an amazing time! We got our memories on camera. They offer to take pictures and video at cost but so worth it. We got the picture package that was downloaded on our phone right there on the boat. I would highly recommend this company. You also have option to get wet or stay dry. Of course we chose to get wet. So much fun! I would definitely go back to them again. Nothing but positive things to say. read more

BEWARE!! False advertisers, with bad customer service. Came out for a trip to Miami, stopped by Keywest, and was robbed! Found a Groupon deal and was treated like dirt. Only wants "full paying" customers and made up a bunch of restrictions that had nothing written on their fine print. Was told that grouponers can only leave at 6pm, so I talked to Groupon, thought it was resolved but once I arrived, was told I did not make any reservations and to be on standby for any other "full paying" customers. Kept referred to as "Grouponers" and felt uncomfortable and unwelcomed. Who wants to do business with them after that?? Thanks for making our trip one we didn't want to remember! read more

I don't get the bad reviews, my friend and I had a most excellent parasailing trip. If you never done parasailing---what are you waiting for??? It's extremely peaceful to literally float in the sky above the turquoise sea and the occasional sailboat. It by far is the best way to see ALL of key west in 10 minutes. The staff was friendly and asked if we wanted to get wet and followed our wishes. The staff offered the 20 dollar CD/photo taking but remained polite and friendly when we declined. You can easily ask another passenger on the boat to take pictures for free. A few tips---go tandem as it's more fun to be with someone in the sky, do ask to get your feet wet---it's thrilling, and shop around/negotiate on price as prices seemed rather arbitrary. read more

The female representative in the check in desk was extremely rude. The whole experience was awful. they charged extra fees upon check in than agreed upon reservation and finally the boat had an engine issue and the trip was cancelled after wasting 1 precious hour watching the crew desperately trying to fix it. Button of the line: if you really want to enjoy parasailing and have a frustration free experience don't go there. There are decent and really professional companies that can easily be found in the area. read more

I paid for my two daughters a parasail trip with parawest. I do not believe I have seen them this pumped about an event since their One Direction concert. It is all they were talking about. We purchased the photo package and it was hilarious. I would highly recommend. Don't even try doing your own pics. They both said the boat crew was great and they felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend Parawest. read more

Had an absolutely wonderful time parasailing! Chad was great and very fun to go with. Made sure we were all comfortable and asked what we wanted. I highly recommend going and having the experience! Absolutely beautiful and one of a kind experience. read more

Parawest Parasailing Key West - Parasailing Near Me - Key West, Florida

Parawest is the last small parasailing company in Key West. I like small and parasailing is all they do. This isn't a party boat either! No booze, no smoking. They were also recommended by friends here, so it's hard to say no to that! We went with two other couples. I'm terrified of heights so this was a big leap for me. Capt. Alfons and mate Dante were very reassuring. We chose the "wet" option and also the CD of our sail (an extra $40, but I'm never doing this again, so a photo record was required!). Parasailing is a piece of cake. Put on a harness and a life jacket, sit on the stern of the boat, and keep your feet up. Takeoff was a hoot (promptly dropped into the water) and the view was spectacular. You can't tell what Dante's doing on the boat with the camera, but there are surprises in the photo record! The landing was also fun (dunked twice) and arriving on the stern was easy. Yes, I had a panic attack when we were all the way up, but I still enjoyed the experience. Alfons and Dante were great. (Some hotels offer 2 for 1 coupons for Parawest, so ask at your front desk if they do.) read more

Had an amazing time. Crew was professional and fun. Music was great. Beer and water were provided, which was an unexpected bonus. Would definitely recommend. read more

We had a great time and even our somewhat acrophobic guest felt safe the entire time. The view from the chute was fantastic and the crew were a lot of fun. Bring sun screen. read more

What a fantastic trip. C2 (Chris and Chris ) were outstanding from the minute we left the dock. Great trip out of the harbor with music and cooler. For sure the longest time in the air of any others we saw while out there. If you are looking for the best crew and best time. Go no further than Parawest read more

On our second full day in Key West we decided to just leave the day open to adventure. After spending the day wandering around we decided to do something fun. We talked to the concierge at the resort. We decided on parasailing because it was fun but also pretty low key. As luck would have it a parasailing trip was going out right then and they had room for us. Our resort struck us a deal and away we went. We easily found Parawest at the dock. They got us on the boat and explained the details of everything. The safety instructions were pretty easy and they got us going right away. Basically (for those who are scared or curious) you just sit on the back of the boat. The parachute lifts you up into the air. You sit in the air enjoying the views for about 15 minutes. They then crank you down and you are back on the boat. That easy. If you want they can dunk you, but that is your choice. It is very relaxing, a great way to see stuff, and is also fun. You are also given the option when you get on board to buy a photo package, GoPro package, or a combo. Personally I don't think the GoPro is worth it, but I would go for the photo package. I won't spoil it for you, but he has a lot of fun taking the photos of you. Plus, in the end you have a TON of photos for like $40. I would totally recommend going for the photo package all the way. The guys running the boat work hard too. This is their living so they bust their butts for you. They recognize that you want as much time in the air and as little time waiting as possible. Given what they have to deal with every day, they are amazingly patient and warm. At the end of the trip they gave us all a beer to celebrate. So happy I decided to try this and we chose a great company. 89/100 read more

Dante and Larry were entertaining and accommodating! Booking over the phone was super easy, they fit us in the same day! My husband and I had fun, the view was amazing, very peaceful while up. And the dip in the water was really fun! (Don't worry, they ask you if you want to be dipped:) You can add on a photo package, Dante takes about 40 photos also using funny props (like a shark biting the parachute rope, etc). There were two other couples with us, great chatting. Larry and Dante also offer bottled water and beer =D Definitely book your parasailing with these guys, they are not a big company, mom and pop owned! read more

This was an impromptu day trip with my teens. The team squeezed in a last minute trip between trips and it was amazing. The three of us road together and it was so smooth and relaxing. Highly recommend even for the motion sick! read more

If I didn't pay $40 for photo which they charge me, I would have given 5 stars. Except photo's that were shot by them, everything else was great. Really enjoyed parasailing for first time. Photos were either blurry or not good. read more

This was my first time ever parasailing and it was amazing experience that I think everyone should try. It is a lovely and relaxing view from the sky, also fun if you get dunked into the water. The staff will ask you whether or not you'd like to get wet, my aunt I chose to, but my brother did not and they kept him dry. Friendly staff, I would definitely come back and do it again with Parawest. read more

My first time para-sailing, went tandem with my boyfriend and loved it! Friendly service, reasonable prices, and an overall amazing experience. I loved that Parawest was so laid back, and I enjoyed the fact that they didn't try and suck you in like some of the more devious and overpriced tourist traps on the island. read more

Dante and Larry were amazing!! My husband and I looked around for a parasailing trip for our honeymoon and lucked out by getting these guys. It was a great trip thanks to them! read more

My boyfriend and I came into town on a Carnival cruise. We searched on the web for places to parasail and stumbled on this option the morning of our stop. With no reservation, they were able to fit us in to a time slot that fit our schedule and gave us enough time to make it back to our cruise boat. I recommend calling ahead to reserve a spot. The trip was about one hour. We were with three other couples and each pair got equal amount of time in the air. It was nice to socialize with others and watch other pairs go before us (first timers). They had waters and cans of beer, which was nice too. We opted for a photo package which you get on an SD card and we're happy with what they took of us. You can also get a video package, which would have been fun too and something we'd consider for next time. The entire staff was friendly and made the excursion fun for us. They were knowledgeable and you can tell they love being on the water, which is comforting. I had my reservations about this activity since I don't know how to swim (& get scared even with a life vest on), but you can choose to not even touch the water, which they did for us. All in all, it's worth it and seemed to be competitively priced. It was a 10 minute walk from the port. read more

A solid good time! Everyone was friendly and made the experience effortless.

There is absolutely nothing like parasailing that I have ever experienced! Its not scary or crazy, simply beautiful and peaceful, and would reccommend going in tandem with someone. Its a beautiful experience to share! read more

So could the receptionist have been more friendly, perhaps. Al the captain was not overly talkative ( but nice) Justin was friendly. We opted for the picture CD as we were the only ones on board. While not cheap, my daughter and I thought it was worth it. We spent at least 15 min. in the air which is plenty. I would definitely recommend Parawest and would use them again. read more
