This was such a fun experience! We were a party of 10 (6 fliers, 4 observers) and we had the boat to ourselves. Awesome! All but one had parasailed before so there was not much need for instructions, but I am confident that if more instructions were needed, Ty would have been great at explaining. As the fliers were flying, I noticed another parasailing company. While I am sure that company was great... their sail had a skull and crossbones. It made me grateful that we had a pretty blue sail with bright yellow letters on it... one) cheery for photo reasons and two) to help us recall the name in the future - I'll always ask now!. Ty and Stevie honored what each pair of fliers requested re: dry, dip toes, or full out dunk. My kids had the full out dunk and were exhilerated! They loved seeing the entire island from a birds' eye view! My only note of concern was that the captain/Stevie was looking at his phone as much as he wasn't. (Ty always had his eyes on the fliers.) Even if it was business, I would have preferred the full attention of the captain. But truly... this was a fantastic experience that I would fully recommend for anyone! (note: below I check that social distancing was not enforced... but we came together as a single group/bubble... not sure how it works with mixed groups)

We are so glad your big group had a great experience parasailing with Island Head. Being up in the air is the most fun, and the best way to view HHI! As for captain Stevie, he checks his phone quite often to keep track of weather conditions. This is only to ensure the safest experience. We hope to see you again soon!
