It was very rough boat ride. Extremely fast. They also collected our life jackets as soon as we completed our sailing . After that the it was a scary , bumpy ride without life jacket. My son was asked to move from one side to the other side of the boat . The boat was going so fast and was tilting on one side. I am still having nightmares.
Since they make you sign off on any claim, they are not responsible for any injury or death. So the driver was riding the boat like he did not care.
They definitely need to take it slow.Since they book many rides in short time, trying to maximize profit . They are putting passenger safety at risk while rushing back to dock. On top of that they were asking at least 10% of tip. Felt very unsafe .I would definitely stay away from riding with this company..

The parasail boat has to adjust its speed to that of wind condition, if there is strong wind the boat hardly goes forward at all, sometimes it goes backward at a slow rate, then if the wind condition is calm or no wind the boat has to make its own wind by accelerating to only 15-20 mph. I think that maybe you have not rode in many boats and if so not in the open ocean where there is more wave action that might have scared you. The boat must make turns that can be called tacking like that of a sail boat. This is all done by captains that are some of the best in the world with 15-25 years of experience. While to you it might have seemed reckless I can assure you it is not, it is necessary though or you would end up miles away from original location.
Once finished parasailing you must take off life jacket to then remove the parasail harness that is worn underneath it so the crew can put the harness on another customer that is preparing to go up. Anyone wishing to put their life jacket back on is welcome to do so. Most people do not for a variety of reasons, I think tan line is one, they want to get a tan and another reason is riding in the boat is already safe so they don’t want to continue wearing the jacket because it’s not very comfortable, they want to feel free in the wind. Unlike your opinion, 99% of customers enjoy the boat ride as well as the parasail ride.
Thanks for your opinion though.
