I had a great experience parasailing with Sky Surfer. I was honestly amazed at how quiet the flight was. When I parasailed in Seattle years ago, the ropes were creaky and it was distracting from the gorgeous views.

On this flight, my friend and I kept talking about how quiet and calm parasailing was. We would have happily floated for a while; it was so much fun seeing the Alabama Gulf Coast from the air.

The crew of Sky Surfer is amazing. They were so chill and easy to chat with plus they made sure we had epic photos from our parasail. This was my 1st time parasailing in Orange Beach as part of my 50 before 50 Gulf Coast Adventures.

I would happily go out with Parasail Sky Surfer any day! They made our Orange Beach Parasailing trip so much fun and something I now want to do all the time.

Once we were on the boat, we headed out into the Gulf right off of Perdido Pass. They had us step into the harness and made sure we were securely in it before they had us sit on the back of the boat and attached the harness to the parachute equipment.

It was super easy to get set up and ready to parasail. The lift off from the boat was amazing. It was so smooth and quiet. All of a sudden we were 10 feet up in the air and going higher.

The entire parasail was smooth and effortless. I spent most of the time looking around in awe, soaking in the epic views.

If you have been thinking about going parasailing I highly recommend it!
