ABOUT OCEAN CITY PARASAIL, NJ

Over twenty years ago, Captain Joel decided to share his fondness of parasailing with the many tourists and visitors who flock to beautiful Ocean City, New Jersey during the summer season. Making people happy is only one of the many reasons Ocean City Parasail flys the bright red and yellow “smiley peace parachutes”. The recognizable yellow and green parasail boats and their smiling parachutes have become an icon of the Ocean City Skyline , a signature of the Ocean City Parasail brand, as well as their understated symbol of happiness.

Our Safety Record is 100%

Ocean City Parasail operates two USCG certified boats, all kept in top condition and well maintained year-round. Each boat passes a thorough inspection and is designed to hold up to twelve passengers; safely and comfortably. Our boats and equipment reflect the newest and best available in safety standards and nautical excellence. Our licensed USCG captains have over 35+ years of experience in the parasailing industry and belong to the Maritime Drug Consortium, which promotes a zero tolerance policy for any drug or alcohol use.

#1 in our book of memories, our Captain Evan and his first mate were extremely tatical and professional, yet very apprachable and personable. My wife has a fear of water and the passengers and crew were just amazing! She wanted to go again tomorrow! This is a huge deal. Smooth, safe ride. Felt comfortable enough to take small children to older adults! Worth the $! THANKS FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO KISS MY WIFE 500 feet in the air, above the beach we got engaged at. 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY .....and more to come.....

Good place, captain and first mate are very nice. They actually talk to you instead of making you feel like you are forcing them to actually do their job. Girls at the counter were very nice.

Steve McNair

Great time and a lot of fun seeing everything from 500 feet. There were tons of stingrays in the water and a few hammerhead sharks which made it more fun. The captain and his mate were amazing and a lot of fun.

Ít was amazing! Went with my wife (our first time) and son (his second). Highly recommend to try this and with this company. The two guys working on the boat were very knowledgeable on the craft but also had a great sense of humor which made the ride even better. We got the picture package for great memories

Danish Mujeeb

It was a great parasail experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The boat crew was pretty cool with some great music. This was my first experience at parasailing and I loved it. It's so calm and peaceful up there. What a beautiful way to enjoy views of the beach!

Katrina

20:38 31 Aug 20

Great experience from start to finish, friendly and funny crew and a beautiful spacious boat. We were first timers but this quickly rose to the top of our list of favorite Jersey shore activites. Couldn't have been easier, if you can sit with your legs in front of you you can do this. I was surprised at how smooth the ride was in the sky, just the slightest swinging movement but mostly feels pretty stationary. Fun boat ride as well, but if you're not used to how rough the inlet can get maybe take some dramamine first! We will be repeat customers.

Dio Ortiz

16:30 19 Jun 21

A must when you visit OC. Great staff. We try to do it once a year.

Sherilyn Newswanger

19:23 10 Jul 21

We absolutely loved this ride! Definitely worth it! I usually hate heights but this was fun and how high we went wasn't even a thought! The view was great!

Bryan Scarano

18:32 12 Jul 21

We did the Pirates ride and it was so much fun for everyone!! Highly recommend it to families or just anyone trying to have a great time!! The whole crew was so awesome!! Can't wait to go again!!! Arrrgghhh!!!

Stacy Ferrell

22:20 13 Jul 21

My nephew and I had an awesome experience! Keegan and the “skipper” explained everything and kept our safety above all! what a wonderful ride and awesome landing!!! Certainly going to do this again. Also the ladies at the check in were very friendly!

Frank Krieger

13:32 25 Jul 21

You like metal and rock? You like rokken out hundreds of feet above the Atlantic? Then you like Ocean City Parasail! It’s a quick ride out from the dock to the ocean side of the beach. Get the views of the coasters and boardwalk but… stay for the memories. AwwwwwwwwweyeeeeeeAAAAAAHHHHH!

Alison Wright

17:22 28 Jul 21

Professional, secure, friendly, and caring service. Easy instructions, great experience. Photographer was great and took LOTS of photos. Highly recommended!

Jo Gresh

19:53 02 Aug 21

Was so awesome. My friend and I went and we are both almost 70 and thought do what we can while we can. The Captain was terrific along with his mate. I would suggest everyone to go at least once.

Sarah C

21:31 16 Aug 21

We had a wonderful parasailing trip today! The crew was awesome, fun , and knowledgeable! Great music on board! The boat top of the line!

This is out third time using ocean city parasailing and we highly recommend them for a great experience!

Tyler Manring

01:18 25 Jun 22

First time ever parasailing. I've always wanted to do it but wanted to wait for the right occasion. My two older girls (14 &11) I was finally able to convince to go with me so it was the three of us together. We had an absolute blast. Captain Joel was true professional and kept the mood light but fun with some rocking music. Loved it, loved it!

Erica Gordon

18:48 25 Jun 22

We have gone parasailing with this company twice and both times were phenomenal. The captain is skilled, gregarious and overall just wonderful and his sons and staff make you feel safe while you were out on the water. Buy the photo package. The photos come out great and they sneak some really funny, memorable ones in there that make you smile. Love this place.

Bryan Newman

15:23 26 Jun 22

Amazing experience!! The captain and mate were also very helpful! Highly recommended!

Jaime Benfer

23:31 30 Jun 22

We had a great experience for our first time with this company. My daughter was scared and Keegan was so patient and helpful in talking her through her fears. Now she can't wait to go back again next year!

Emily Chamberlain

14:45 20 Jul 22

Fun and professional crew and a very welcoming check-in process! The boat ride and scenery were just as much fun as the actual parasailing:)

Anita Ricci

16:21 03 Aug 22

Such a great time! We had a long flight time. Get the picture package! They take lots of great photos to keep as memories. The staff were all great! We will be back again!

Alexis Verden

03:15 09 Aug 22

It was myself and my boyfriends first time ever parasailing and we originally had a reservation for one day butI ended up getting sick on the boat. Was able to reschedule for 2 days later with no issue & had the best experience. Joel and Max were absolutely amazing crew and treated everyone so kindly & great music choices. Would recommend them to everyone I know.

Denise Talbot

06:25 23 Aug 22

This was a first for me! The boat operator was amazing at his job! Absolutely a soft take off and landing back on the boat! A must do if your anywhere near this summer!

22:02 26 Aug 22

We had a great time! The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. We paid for the photo package and it was well worth it- especially the surprise photo!! Highly recommend this excursion.

Kelly

22:17 26 Aug 22

Awesome! Would 100% do it again! Guys were great, at least 10 minutes in the air! You can def take pics with your cell as long as you have something to protect it in when you leave it on the boat to be in the air.

Frank Payne

01:13 16 Aug 21

Take this trip, at this location, you will NOT be sorry!!!! My wife and I went out parasailing on Sunday morning. We arrived on time, paid, and went out on the boat in a timely fashion. The boat that we were on was in excellent condition, and showed obvious evidence that the boat was in tip-top condition. The boat had all modern equipment that is in excellent condition. NOTHING worn or sketchy! VERY Safety driven! The boat is VERY powerful and responsive too. I was amazed at how responsive that boat is/was. Our Captain, “Mike” knew what he was doing. Really handled the boat (on a pretty windy morning) like a pro. Mike took us out on the ocean is just a few short minutes. There was not one moment of uncertainty. The man knows the job, and gets right down to business. The mate, I think his name is “Nick”, was really professional too. VERY serious about safety, and knows the job, just like our captain Mike. Nick was very courteous and respectful, obviously a pro. When it came for time to fly, there was no dilly-dallying. They got us out on the after deck, clipped us in, and put us up in the sky for a lasting view of Ocean City, Longport, Somers point, and surrounding area. Perfectly smooth ride, a little dip, and a perfect landing. They had all the gear stowed quickly for our return trip, and took us across some very big chop and swells, without getting us all wet. Mike navigated that boat, so perfectly that there is NO COMPARE!!!! Mike and Nick docked the boat perfectly, and helped my wife and I off the boat like gentlemen. We re-considered, our thoughts on the tip, and doubled what we originally thought would be appropriate. At the end of the trip, we went back to the desk where we started, and the young lady got our photos for us politely and professionally. We left happy, and I am looking forward to going again.

Kathy Ellis

14:19 18 Jun 23

Great experience all around! The captain and his son were super professional, had great senses of humor and played fabulous 70/80's music!

Lovetta Alston

14:08 04 Jul 23

I had an absolutely amazing experience with an all-star crew. I enjoyed my entire experience, from check-in to landing back at the dock. It was peaceful, beautiful, and thrilling all at once. Great vibes, safe navigating, good music, and attentive staff. I will ABSOLUTELY be returning.

Cori McMahon

18:49 06 Jul 23

Just an excellent experience on the water and in the air!! with Jake and Townie of OC Parasail. We were repeat customers and will go again. Great guys, entertain with humor, work hard to make your experience awesome. Two thumbs up and a high five.

Tim Kulp

23:50 11 Jul 23

Went in early June and had a blast. Captain has too much fun, great singer! The ride out and back was as awesome, lots of wave jumping! Totally worth every penny, even if you go only as a passenger. 5 stars!

Kristina beers

15:58 15 Jul 23

Jake and tony were our guides, they were alot of fun, made for a great experience! It was my first time parasailing and they made it memorable, definitely in a good way! If we're ever in the area again we will definitely be stopping here

Bryan Taylor

18:45 27 Jul 23

Fun Activity, and these guys make it fun, effortless and very enjoyable. Boat Ride, lifting off the back of the boat, the tranquility of floating above the water, a little dip to cool you off, and returning safely to your seat... Great time. We do it every year with OC Parasail - great crew...

Shetara Richardson

19:15 29 Jul 23

I've been here 3 times and each experience was AMAZING! Most recently I went with my boyfriend, it was his first time and they made it a great time for us and made sure he kept a smile on his face for his first parasail. Definitely would recommend them.

Kelly Hudak

01:26 07 Aug 23

Charlie parasailed his way into 16! Joel was a great captain and Spencer a great first mate. We are locals and we will keep coming back! So fun!

C Seachrist

16:25 09 Aug 23

First time parasailing and it was a great experience! My son and I enjoyed the boat ride, the sailing and the crew was very personable. The crew could tell I was nervous and were very reassuring and caring. Highly expend! Thanks!

Amanda DeCrescenzo

14:04 17 Aug 23

We cannot recommend Joel, Spencer and his wife enough! My husband was very nervous going into this experience and they were completely supportive and we ended up loving it! Extremely professional, the boat ride was an added bonus and we even saw some dolphins while we were out there! Our youngest is 5 and she went up with no fear because of them!

Brandi Holdren

21:50 19 Aug 23

We had the best time. The crew was amazing and kind. Our kids laughed the entire time. And thanks for the great music.

Michael Kim

Jason Brennan

01:11 24 Aug 23

Simply the best. Been flying with these fine folks for a few years. If you have any reservations they will put you at ease. Looking for a fun ride and fly then choose OC Parasail. Five stars and more.

Erin Scozzafava

18:49 25 Aug 23

A wonderful Experience. Boat captions Jake and Keegan were wonderful Hosts. Everything was so smooth and safe- my kids love it. Opt for the photography package- they do not disappoint and there is no way to capture pictures like they do. I would highly recommend!!!

Jessica Coward (Chica)
