The staff was very nice, helpful, and even funny! The boat ride out to the Gulf was enjoyable and entertaining thanks to the boat captains. Would highly recommend the premium ride as it is longer and goes much higher for not much more money. The boats are very nice and are very clean. All of the equipment helps you to... More

I had a great time. The crew was friendly and professional, and the equipment in great condition. We were in a 12-person open boat..no shade and no head. In very hot sunny weather it might be uncomfortable for some people, and if you can't hold out for 3 hours or more without a bathroom you could have a problem. It's... More

The ride out to the parasailing area was 40 minutes and it was cold. Perhaps it was my fault that neither I, nor my 8 year old companion was properly dressed. We lacked a warm jacket or cover. I guess I would have liked the company to suggest clothing when I called for the reservation. The staff however, in spite... More

We called Siesta Key Parasail and Jetski (941-586-1972) and told them we had two children 8 and 9 who wanted to parasail (we are a family of five). They quoted us a price of about $75-95 pp depending on the length of time we chose to ride. When we arrived at our reservation time, the man at the front desk... More

We called both Parasailing/jet ski rental places on Siesta Key and Siesta Key parasailing was the best deal. We asked Curt for a deal since we wanted to rent jet skiis and parasail and he went out of his way to accomodate us! They even have a free shuttle. Really made us feel like we were VIPs. The jet skiing... More

My wife and I decided we wanted to go parasailing so we went Siesta Key Parasailing. Everyone we dealt with prior to, during and afterwards was great. Once we boarded the boat, Captain Jon and Captain Kelly were AWESOME! They were both very personable and made us laugh and talked about the area on the ride out to the Gulf.... More

Great time! Friendly crew especially the hot mate Tim! We've been to watersports before and the crew was lame, it was very boring. With Siesta key parasailing however we didn't stop having fun until we left! The customer service was great, shuttle boat lots of fun, and the best part was the the actual ride overlooking beautiful siesta key! While... More

My husband, two children, and I went parasailing today and from start to finish, had an absolutely AMAZING time!! From Andy, to Capt. Dan on the shuttle boat, to the Captain of the parasailing boat, to Tim, the service was top notch!! It's pretty bad when GOOD customer service takes you by surprise, as it should be the norm, but...

Their boat broke down on us. Looking at other reviews, it looks like a common problem. The staff is not very friendly, they make their money off of the tourists and I would think it would behoove them to at least be nice when taking your money.
