South Padre Parasailing

Parasailing FAQ – South Padre Island

How High Do You Go Parasailing in South Padre?

Parasailers will experience a smooth, gradual lift and typically reach parasailing heights of 300 feet with Sonny’s Beach Service, weather permitting. It depends on the wind conditions and the length of the tow rope.

Is South Padre Parasailing Safe?

Yes, parasailing is considered safe when conducted by reputable operators. Sonny’s beach service has USCG licensed captains, uses high-quality safety equipment, and follows safety regulations to ensure your safety. Participants are fitted with life jackets and we have a professional crew that is trained in water safety.

How Long Does Parasailing Last?

A typical parasailing session lasts about 10-15 minutes in the air, although the total experience is 45-60 minutes, which includes preparation and landing. We run a 30-minute boat schedule.

Can Children Parasail?

Yes, children can parasail, but age and weight considerations apply. There is a 50 lb restriction, and no pregnant flyers. It’s best to check with us beforehand. We also have Tandem and triple flight options for multiple flyers.
