Soaring High: A Family’s Parasailing Adventure in St. Thomas

When I heard about the thrilling parasailing adventure in St. Thomas, I knew it was a must-try for our family. Join us as we soar above the ocean, capturing unforgettable memories and experiencing the magic of flight together.

Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both excitement and safety for the whole family. So, when I heard about the Parasailing Adventure in St. Thomas, I knew it was a must-try for us. With my husband and our two preteens in tow, we headed to the Sapphire Beach Marina, where our adventure was set to begin.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jack and Jake, our guides for the day. Their warm smiles and easy-going nature immediately put us at ease, especially my kids, who were a bundle of nerves. They took the time to explain the process in a way that was both informative and entertaining, ensuring that even the most anxious among us felt comfortable.

Up, Up, and Away!

Once the safety briefing was complete, it was time to hit the water. The boat ride itself was exhilarating, with the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces. As we approached the parasailing spot, the anticipation built up. Jack and Jake’s playful antics, like pretending to cut us loose with fake scissors, added a touch of humor that lightened the mood.

When it was our turn to fly, the experience was nothing short of magical. Being lifted into the sky, with the vast ocean below and the stunning views of St. Thomas around us, was a moment of pure bliss. My kids, who had been so nervous, were now laughing and pointing out the sights below. Jack and Jake even dipped us down so our feet skimmed the ocean, adding an extra thrill to the ride.

Capturing Memories

One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to capture our adventure on camera. Jack and Jake offered us a GoPro to use, or we could use our own devices to film the experience. They even took photos of us from the boat, ensuring we had plenty of memories to take home. This thoughtful touch was a pleasant surprise, as many excursions charge extra for such services.

As we returned to the dock, our hearts were full, and our spirits were high. The experience was everything we had hoped for and more. Jack and Jake’s dedication to making our day special was evident in every little detail, from their safety measures to their fun-loving personalities. It’s no wonder they come highly recommended! If you’re looking for a family-friendly adventure in St. Thomas, this parasailing experience is a must-do. We left with unforgettable memories and a newfound love for parasailing, eager to return for another round of sky-high fun!
