Parasailing — 500 ft
A perfect first flight — 500 feet of rope, 8–10 minutes airborne over Matanzas Bay with the Bridge of Lions and the Castillo right below you.
Either way, it's the same boat, the same crew, and the same stretch of historic coast — pick how high you want to go and how long you want to stay up there.
A perfect first flight — 500 feet of rope, 8–10 minutes airborne over Matanzas Bay with the Bridge of Lions and the Castillo right below you.
The full historic-coast view — 1,000 feet of rope. From up there you can see all the way down Anastasia Island and out into the Atlantic. Most-recommended option.
We launch from the City Marina at 111 Avenida Menendez, two blocks from the Castillo and right under the Bridge of Lions. There's metered waterfront street parking or an all-day garage at the visitor center about a mile away. From the air you see Anastasia Island, Vilano Beach, the historic district, and the open Atlantic — all at once. Mornings tend to be the calmest — book early and beat the afternoon wind.
Fly solo, fly tandem, or take three up at once — most families pick the triple so the kids can ride with a parent. Minimum age 5; maximum combined weight 450 lbs (your captain calls the safest pairing day-of). Pregnant guests can't fly. No experience required, no swimming required.
We dip you at the end of the flight — plan to get wet from about the waist down, so wear swimwear and bring a towel. Sunscreen and water recommended.
Professional captain & crew. All safety gear. About an hour and a half on the boat with 8–10 minutes airborne. Photo packages are $45 per group (every flight, every guest). Bring sunscreen and a towel — leave the big bags in the car.
Everyone who boards the boat must sign a waiver — the link comes in your confirmation email.
We're in the heart of historic downtown — most guests turn parasailing into half a day in the city. Here's what's within a five-minute walk of the marina:
“Five stars all around. Smooth and easy booking, exhilarating ride, and we even spotted dolphins from up there.”
“One of the highlights of the whole vacation. The crew was great with our kids and the views were unreal.”
“Must-do activity in St. Augustine. The crew was top notch — smooth, scenic, amazing marine life on the way out.”
Pick a time, pick a height, pick who's flying with you. Most days fill up by mid-morning in summer — book ahead.
