Have you ever dreamed of taking flight? You know, not in an airplane, but like a bird -- just sailing on the breeze? Parasailing is perhaps the closest experience you'll ever have and an amazing way to see the island of Key West. Key West parasailing will offer you a perspective on your vacation that you'll never get with both feet on the ground!
What Is Key West Parasailing?
Key West parasailing is an experience like no other. When you parasail, you are strapped securely into a harness. The harness attaches to a large sail similar to a parachute, which is attached to a towrope -- similar to the kind used by water skiers. The towrope connects to a speedboat that moves forward, gently lifting you into the air where you will "fly" behind the boat. The first "parasail" was actually invented by a Floridian in the early 70s, but people now parasail all over the world!
The View Over Key West
So you ask, "Besides the sensation of flight, why would I want to go Key West parasailing?" For the sensational view, of course! Besides the fun you'll have sharing the friendly skies with gulls, you'll also get a true "birds eye" view of the island. Since Key West is only four miles long and two miles wide, Key West parasailing gives you an amazing look at your vacation destination. While Key West parasailing, you'll float about 600 feet in the air. From here, not only will you see the beauty of the island, but you'll also get a fantastic look at the marine life you may have enjoyed earlier when you were snorkeling in Key West or diving Key West.
Your Customized Key West Parasailing Experience
Your Key West parasailing guide will give you just the experience you're looking for. If you're a little more daring and you'd like to pick up the speed, your tour operator can do that.
