How do I go about making arrangements for parasailing on Castaway Cay? What is the cost? Are their age limits? Weight limits? Can two people do it together? How long does it take? Is it worth it?

Thanks,

Tammy

You can prebook parasailing 60 days in advance, once your final payment is made. It costs 70.00/person. Not sure about age limits but there was a 12 year old girl on our boat that did it. Again, Im not sure about a minimum weight, but the maximum weight for 2 people to go up together is 350 lbs. Even if you make that 350lbs(even well under, like DH & myself) you may not be allowed to go up together. They decide last minute on the boat, depending on weather conditions. This happened to us and I was greatly disappointed! It takes approximately 1 hour and you are up in the air for 5-10 minutes. Actually, I think Ive read here someone has said its 7 minutes. Even though I was disappointed in not being able to go up together(the only reason I wanted to do it in the first place), I would still say it was worth it. It was really fun to try and you get a great view.
