Parasailing adds a memorable thrill to a Portofino Island Resort stay, giving guests a bird’s-eye view of the coast that surrounds this beautiful Pensacola Beach resort. From above the water, the setting opens in every direction: the Gulf, the Santa Rosa Sound, the white sand shoreline, and the distinctive towers of Portofino rising between the two.
For guests staying in our Pensacola Beach condos, the experience is easy to work into a beach getaway that produces moments that are worth more than gold!
Why Try Parasailing in Pensacola Beach, Florida?
There are plenty of ways to enjoy the water, but parasailing gives guests a unique perspective of this gorgeous stretch of the Florida Emerald Coast. Portofino Island Resort sits on Santa Rosa Island, a narrow barrier island with the Gulf to the south and the Santa Rosa Sound to the north.
The activity feels like flying and offers unmatched aerial views. Parasailing generally includes a controlled lift from the boat, a smooth ride above the water, and a return landing back on the boat deck, making it a more approachable adventure than many guests expect.
Have a Blast Parasailing With Radical Rides
A local favorite since 1992, Radical Rides has become one of Pensacola Beach’s go-to watersport destinations for visitors looking to add a little height and excitement to their beach day. During a parasailing adventure, guests lift smoothly from the boat for approximately 7 to 10 minutes of flight time, with the full on-water experience lasting up to about an hour.
Flights may include one, two, or three flyers, depending on weight distribution, wind, and water conditions, allowing the crew to create a safe and comfortable experience for each group. Photo packages are also available, which makes it easy to bring home the view from above!
