What is side parasailing?

Side parasailing, also known as tandem or tandem side-by-side parasailing, is a popular water sport activity where two people fly together in a parasail wing. The two riders sit side by side on a specially designed harness, which is attached to the parasail wing through a rope connected to a speedboat.

The riders lift off from the boat deck, gently ascending into the sky, and reach heights of up to 500 feet. As the boat moves, the parasail wing continues to rise higher and higher, providing a breathtaking view of the surrounding water and scenery.

Side parasailing is a safe and thrilling activity suitable for all ages. It requires no previous experience or skills, making it an accessible activity for families and friends. Also, it can be done in both calm and windy conditions, giving riders a unique experience while soaring high in the sky.

Most parasailing operators will provide riders with the necessary safety gear such as life jackets, helmets, and safety instructions before the ride. It is essential to pay attention to the safety briefings and always follow the instructions of the boat crew to ensure a fun and safe parasailing experience.
