English speaking and certified parasailing shore excursion staff! Convenient parasailing location at Orient Bay Beach! Single, Double and Triple parasail flights available! The parasail cruise excursion camp is located at Orient Bay, the most popular beach of St. Maarten (Saint Martin) on the French side of the island. Enjoy 1.5 miles of soft sand and crystal clear blue waters, and great restauran
ts and bars scattered along the beach. From your cruise ship terminal, you will take a taxi for a short and scenic 15 minute ride to Orient Bay. Upon arrival, check in with the Parasail operator and be prepared to enjoy this incredible adventure. As part of the fun, you will ride a jet ski to get to the parasailing boat just a few minutes away from shore. Once on board the parasailing boat, your English speaking parasailing crew will go over the safety instructions and information to assure that you will have a great time. The parasail boat was specially designed to safely launch you in a controlled ascension directly from the boat's parasail platform and without getting wet! The crew will get you into the harness, hook it into the parachute bar and you will gently lift off! The experienced Captain does everything else, you just enjoy the freedom of flying through the sky with a fantastic view over Orient Bay and the island's surroundings! You have the option to fly solo (by yourself), tandem with another person or triple, as a group of 3 (please see order form for pricing information). The parasail flight is a peaceful experience. Take in the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and even the neighboring island of St Barth, Anguilla and Pinel. When your 10 - 12 minute parasailing flight is completed, the boat w***h will reel you in and you will land back the boat's parasail platform. The captain will only "dip" guests into the water if requested, otherwise guests will not touch the ocean. You may be sharing the boat with other parasailing participants, so enjoy the boat ride while waiting for your turn. When all guests on board have complete their flight, the boat will return to the meeting spot and the jet ski will take you back to the beach (you may also change the parasailing time once you are on site). Feel free to stay at the beach, you will have plenty of time to explore Orient Bay and enjoy other activities on site, you may also have a look at our other Orient Bay Water Sports Cruise Excursions and Activities! There may be ab opportunity to purchase photos taken by the parasail excursion staff after the shore excursion. Or of course you are welcome to bring your own camera! There may be some splashing of waves and spray that can damage electronics - please consider if you bring any cameras or cell phones or similar on board the parasailing excursion boat. Your cruise ship terminal is only a 15 minute taxi ride away from Orient Bay Beach.
