Hollywood Parasail

It’s a beautiful day in Hollywood!  Why not take it all in with a bird’s eye view?  All you have to do is head to Hollywood Parasail and enjoy a gorgeous view over the waters of Hollywood Beach.  You can go single, double, or even triple on the parasail.  Experience flying through the skies and over the ocean.  It’s definitely a thrilling ride, and perfectly safe!  Click Here for InTown’s Listing of Hollywood Parasail.

Hollywood Parasail is conveniently located behind the Marriot Hotel on Hollywood Beach.  The staff is friendly, efficient, and before you know it, you’ll be on a boat for your parasailing voyage.  The captain is experienced, knowledgable, and ensures your takeoff is smooth and gentle.  You can choose to stay dry or have a little fun getting dunked in the ocean.  Soar above the blue waters of Hollywood and as you parasail, you may even spot some fish below or birds flying past you.  Hollywood Parasail provides a memorable water and air adventure. 

Take in the view, enjoy the breeze, and look over everyone in Hollywood Beach.  It's also a great way to cool down with the Florida heat.  While you will have ample time in the air, all good things must come to an end.  And as your parasailing adventure comes to an end, Hollywood Parasail will make sure you land just as smoothly as you took off.  It's not completely over.  Descending back on the boat is a fun ride in itself.  So pack some sunscreen, a towel, and you'll be ready for the great time awaiting you at Hollywood Parasail.  Click Here for Hollywood Parasail's website.
