If your a tourist or just someone looking for something new to try in Virginia Beach, I highlyyyy recommend this. I did it in August and it was the perfectttt weather.. I'm going to be honest thoughhhh, you're only in the air for about 10minutes and they go by pretty quick [personally wish it was alittle longer] but the views from 1,000 ft in the air are incredible. Totally breathtaking. The boat ride is total about an hour long I'd also like to add that this is about a 3 outta 10 on the adrenaline scale. Didn't get a crazy rush, it wasn't scary at all and you don't seem that high up either

Another adventure checked off the bucket list! My husband and I had a fantastic time parasailing for the first time. Parasailing is a very laid back experience, and though I'm normally one to go for the stuff with more of a "thrill factor," there was absolutely nothing I could think of to compare to when we were gliding in the air, taking in all of the view. We had a great time. We actually saw a small shark and a school of stingrays. And before we got back on the boat we got a couple of dips in the water. Captain Ben and Mate Brian were great and Air America actually has the best price of all of the other parasailing companies on Virginia Beach! Most definitely a place to come back to!

Had such a great time parasailing! Crew was very nice and explained everything! Had about a 10 minute trip, totally worth it!

A great experience from beginning to end. We took my father here for his 75th birthday. Captain Parker and Ben took us out. Right from the beginning Captain Parker told us everyone sailing today is getting dunked. Awesome!! From sailing to just cruising on the water Parker and Ben took great care of everyone. Definitely worth it!! You'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Take this shot!!

My kids and I were looking for an adventure on the last day of our vacation here. I'm so glad we chose to parasail with Pirate Parasail! My boys (ages 9 & 11) really had a great time and I loved it too! We got a discount for choosing the 9am time slot. The boat ride alone was fabulous and the parasailing experience was truly amazing. It's something we will always remember. These guys will make you laugh & ease any fears you may have. Thank you Pirate Parasail! I hope we can do it again someday!

Such a beautiful experience! My sister & I are very scared of heights, but the team here did a wonderful job in making sure that we were safe & the rope wouldn't broke. I was already having an anxiety attack just thinking bout it and once it was our turn, the captain kinda tricked me into thinking that something was wrong with my swing, jokingly. Next thing we know, we were up in 3 seconds I'm sorta relieved he did that because I would have backed down. Overall, we was hoping it was going to be longer like 10-15 mins like it says online, but it was only 5 mins parasailing so that was a disappointment. Especially for $80. Other than that, I highly recommend coming here

We were up really high. I'm usually afraid of heights but this experience was completely fun and amazing.

We chose the Rocket which was the faster boat ride, for $28. There's a small discount for seniors and kids. There's also free parking on site. You will need to arrive early to board. They have a small store on site also with souvenirs and stuff. They will be taking pictures that you can purchase at the end. The boat ride was a good time. You see several dolphins and the first half it's slower, but coming back is where the fun begins. You're going to probably get wet, and a hat or loose wig isn't recommended!! Strap that ish down or be prepared to lose it!! Lol. I also recommend sun shades because salt water in your eyes could screw up the experience. My very first ride I got drenched and my eyes burned for a while. I wore my bathing suit this time, so the water was fine with me. It's good for kids and adults. My 84 year old grandma had a wonderful time!! Also remember to bring cash to tip the crew at the end. I do this every year during the summer, it's always fun. Definitely check them out!!!

I went with my little brother, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the crew was so friendly and knowledgeable. They created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere for everyone on board. There's also a gift shop in the center of the boat with air conditioning, bathrooms, a gift shop, and a sleuth of reasonably priced food and drinks. The entire ride drom start to finish is about 90 minutes. We didn't have to wait long at all before spotting our first dolphins, and before we knew it, there were pods swimming right alongside us. It was absolutely unforgettable. My little brother was amazed, and honestly, so was I. The views were stunning, the vibe was relaxing, and the dolphin sightings were nonstop. This was one of those experiences I'll never forget. If you've been thinking about doing it, just go. You won't regret it. PS: Parking is free right by the dock when you purchase a ticket.

My extended family and I rented a pontoon boat with Corolla Water Sports during our 4th of July…read moreweek vacation to OBX. It's a very large complex with a lot of different things to do. The main booth area where you pay is also a little bait shop, which was nice because we did bring fishing poles on board. The staff was young and friendly, keeping with the vibe of similar watersports rental places in the area. There's a pretty long dock from the check in hut to the pontoon boats. I wish we knew of this in advance because it wasn't the best for the disabled seniors we brought with us. One of our party members is blind in one eye and has depth perception problems. The lack of consistent railings made it so we had to flank her on either side so she didn't accidentally walk off the dock. All of our seniors would have wished for a few more places to rest. I know the dock is only approximately .2 miles long, which is no problem for the average person in good health. We rented the pontoon with our senior family members in mind, as they weren't able to participate in the other water activiities we did. Boarding on and off the boat was also not senior friendly. My great aunt struggled to get in and out of the boat. An attendant tried to help her, but was not well versed in how to assist seniors with standing. She ended up getting moderately hurt and bruised from the experience. While we were riding, the boat cut power a few times. That was a bit scary, but fortunately, there's staff on jet skis out there ready to help. We were back in business within minutes of each issue. Overall, the experience was very fun. The boat is well maintained. It was a bit of a squeeze for our party of 15, but if you have 8 or less, it would be extremely spacious accomodations. There was plenty of room for our coolers and fishing gear. We had plenty of time to cruise in the boat, to anchor it (they provided a HUGE anchor, all things considered), jump off the boat into the warm sound for a swim, fish, get some sun (or shade, as the boat is well covered), & have a lunch. With the time we had, we did everything we were looking to do. We didn't catch any fish, but that wasn't our main goal. Our main goal was to get our family out on the boat and have some fun. We were able to do that. Overall, we had a great time. I would give it 5 stars if I returned and they found ways to make the experience more accessible for disabled people and seniors.
