Harbor Watersports offers parasailing and dolphin tours to adventure
seeking Destin, Florida vacationers.
If you are looking for a reputable company to take you and your family
on a parasailing adventure, Harbor Watersports offers a 1.5- to 2-hour
boat ride for as many as 12 people. With about 800 feet of rope, you
will be soaring up to 500 feet above the ocean in no time, and each
person can expect to be up in the air for about 10 to 12 minutes, and
up to three people can parasail together, not to exceed 400 pounds.
Children age six to 18 can parasail with the permission of a legal
guardian. If this type of excursion interests you, make sure to make a
reservation by calling (850) 650-0390 . A 24-hour cancellation notice
is also required. You don’t even have to get wet to parasail, though
you can dip your toes and feet in the water if you wish when coming
back into the boat from the air.
Harbor Watersports dolphin tours are guided by trained guides via jet
skis. Each jet ski holds up to three people (under five years old not
recommended), and while they don’t guarantee dolphin sightings every
trip, they do have a high success rate. You will be able to get up
close to dolphins, but you cannot feed or touch them. Tours start
daily at 9:00 a.m. and last about two hours.
Four-stroke engine Yamaha Waverunners are also available to rent at
Harbor Watersports. These jet skis can seat up to three people, and
renters must be 18 years old and have a valid photo ID. To operate a
jet ski, you must be 16 and have a legal guardian sign for the rental.
If you are under 22 and plan on driving a jet ski, you must pass a
Florida’s boater’s test, administered at Gilligan’s Watersports, and
you must bring your ID and boater certification card with you while
operating the jet ski. Crab Island party spot is only a few minutes
away on jet ski, and the Choctawhatchee Bay offers some excellent jet
ski riding, though they do not allow jet skis to be taken out of the
Gulf of Mexico, for the safety of the riders.
Twenty-five-foot pontoon boats are available for rent and can
accommodate 12 to 15 people.
