Such a fun experience for our family. It was our first time parasailing and we all enjoyed it so much, especially the kids. The crew was really nice and made everything easy for us. We were a little nervous at first, but once we were up there, it was so peaceful and beautiful. Definitely a great memory from our Catalina trip. read more

A once-in-a-lifetime experience! I was always curious to try parasailing, so I had to check it out while in Catalina. I was running late, so I called to see if they would be able to wait for me. They could only promise to wait until the scheduled takeoff time. Luckily, I made it five minutes before! I completed the liability forms, and then we boarded the boat. The guys explained the safety rules and what we would be doing. One person drives the boat while another helps you get geared up and assists with takeoff. The whole process was fast and easy. It's a really cool and unique experience once you're up in the air. I loved it! However, I did feel like I was cheated out of some of my time in the air, as everyone else seemed to get more time than I did. Maybe it was because I was the last person to go and the only one in my group. I also had to ride with another person because of the weight minimum and because it was a windy day. Overall, it was definitely a memorable experience and something I'm glad I tried while in Catalina. Don't forget to bring cash to tip the crew. read more

Took my family out with Catalina Coastal Tours over Memorial Day weekend and had an absolute blast! From start to finish, it was such a fun experience. The whole crew made the day easy and enjoyable, but Emily and Ulyces really stood out -- both were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows. If you're heading to Catalina, do yourself a favor and book with these guys. Highly recommend! read more

We had an awesome time parasailing in Catalina. Would definitely donut again. We were a party of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids. The driver even had us take a little dip in the ocean (toes only). No need to wear a bathing suit. Shorts are good or pants that roll up work fine, I definitely recommend upgrading for the photo package to capture all the memories!! Staff was great. read more

So much fun! I admit that I was nervous, but there was no need to be. You can go by yourself, in a pair, or as a trio. Hubs and I did it together and it was amazing! We saw a pod of dolphins while we were up there! Everything was smooth - no problems at all. I can't wait to do it again! read more

Decent prices! Fun! And I think it should be 10 minutes instead of 8 minutes for everyone, thank you for having me it was my first time out there in Catalina will be back soon! read more

Such an amazing experience! This was my first time parasailing so I didn't have any expectations. I ordered the early bird deal which was $50 for the first time slot of the day at 800'. The boat ride was a bit bumpy, but as someone who gets nauseous easily, I didn't feel anything. My friend and I were the last ones of the group to go up and the staff was great at helping us out. You're able to request for dipping your toes in the water, which we ended up doing, and it was a great experience! I do wish the ride itself was a bit longer, but other than that, this was such a fun and memorable experience, would 100% do it again. read more

04-28-2025 This experience exceeded my expectations. Not scary at all. Must do, spectacular views! Closest to having your own wings to fly lol. David and Jackson were the crew that took care of us. If you want to dip your feet in the water, be sure to mention to them. It's optional, dipping or no dipping. I chose not to dip. In hindsight, probably would have enjoyed it even more if I were to dip lol. Note: -You can save $30. Ask your fellow parasailers to take your photos and offer to do the same for them. Great trade off. -For those who are from the cruise, booking via the ship staff is much more expensive. Buy your parasailing excursion through this place, only $59/person. Plus birthday person (free), inquire within. -Can be a little cold (depending on the weather and the time of day), be sure to dress accordingly. Loved, loved, loved my experience, glad I did it! read more

I had never gone parasailing before, this was my first time and let me tell you...It was amazing !!!! The guys on the boat do checks before going into the open water which I loved & they let you know some things that could happen if the boat was to multifunction. They also make sure you are prepared before going up in the parachute and they ask you if you would like to dip your toes in the water. There's also an option where you could pay 30 dollars extra to get professional photos taken and I think it's super worth it ! The guys we got were super nice and I felt super safe & comfortable, will definitely come back with them. read more

Catalina Xtreme parasailing exceeded our expectations. It was my family's first time Parasailing. The entire experience was a delight. The crew willingly answered all questions and made sure we felt comfortable. Our boat ride took us in the path of several schools of dolphins, which was an extra added bonus to our adventure. Some of us were able to see them while we were in the sky. You can tell this company really loves what they do. It truly felt like we were designed to fly, the quiet hanging out in the clouds with the vast blue beneath left you wonderstruck. I also have to give an extra shout out to Emily. She graciously changed our appointment time because we had missed our departure from Newport Beach via Catalina express. Her genuine hospitality and graciousness was the cherry on top to a wonderful experience. read more

The BEST parasailing operation on Catalina Island. The company is owned and run by locals. They are very professional and safe. We never felt rushed, and there was no sales pitch. Emily booked us and answered all our questions, which put us at ease. Talking to a real person who had actually gone parasailing was assuring. And it was such a great experience. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get up there and fly around like a kite. I would definitely do it again, and highly recommend it. Also recommend using their waterproof phone case & capturing video while you're up there. read more

I highly recommend this parasail company! They are easy, simple and so friendly to deal with when booking your activity. My seven year old said it was his favorite thing on Catalina! You can also be an observer if you are not going to go up in the sky if they have room on the boat, I believe it was $26.00, good deal for a 45-60 min boat ride! We booked a late afternoon time slot because the fog/gloom tends to burn off after 3pm giving you blue skies! They are very safe and efficient, once you get on. They have an option where you can get dipped in the water, it's gentle and minimal wetness but fun! Also the option of not getting wet at all and dry landing. If you want professional photos, they have a package for that as well which would be worth it! Definitely call this place up and book your parasailing adventure! read more

This was such a great experience. I was a bit nervous at first, but once you're in the air, it's smooth sailing, literally. The views of the island were great and we're definitely appreciative that we got the photo package because it was well worth it. This was our first time parasailing and maybe not our last. The sun started to come out halfway through and we got dipped in the ocean, which felt amazing. This was a lot of fun. read more

Easy peasy so relaxing no need to be nervous. Just chill. They will take it from here.

David and Frankie were amazing instructors. Extremely nice. I was nervous going because of my weight but they let me try the harness on before getting on the boat to make sure I was comfortable and it was safe for me. I was open and honest about my weight. They were honest to me. After checking everything they were confident I would have no issues. And they made sure I was secured, safe, and had fun. Amazing experience 100000/10 and they took some nice pictures. Thank you David and Frankie for everything. You made my first parasailing experience great and made my birthday adventure everything I wanted. I went 800 feet in the air and they dipped my feet in the water. Take off and landing was so smooth. Not one scary moment. read more

There so much on the island but so much more in the sea around the island. We did the Dolphin/seal island tour and the Nighttime Fly fish tour. Definite must dos. Our tour guide, John, knew where all the sea life were and knew so much about the Eco systems of the island. We didn't see any Dolphins but enjoyed all the seals, leopard sharks and fish. Of course the boat ride was so refreshing and felt so private. There were only 5 of us on the tour. Capacity is 6. We did the Night time Fly fish tour. On a larger speed boat but we didn't go fast at all. We saw so many flying fish. We did also see the seals going after them and eating them. What a sight to see. The seals were so smart. They followed our boat because the light attracted the flying fish. Some of the fish looked like small airplanes on the water. If you're spending a few days on the island, have to try this tour. It's at night, after sundown. read more

Good: Parasailing is always fun, being up that high over the water. Bad: I was expecting at least 1hr total and the website even said anywhere between 1hr and 1hr:15min. I understand that maybe it could be that long if there are a lot of people on the boat, but our trip only had 3 groups. I was expecting at least 10 min up in the air per group, but we were only up there for 5 min. We left the dock at 2:45 and returned by 3:30. That was only 45min trip. The least each group could have had was a 10 min flight, since there weren't that many people on the boat. I felt like the captains were rushing through everything. Honestly, not really worth the price per person for a rushed 5 min flight. I've been parasailing once before with another company years back and truly they were the best experience. Here's what they did, in case you guys wanna take some notes, so people can come back to you: flights min 7 min, 10 if it's a small group. Music on the boat for those waiting to fly (keep the vibes up). Instead of just dipping toe tips, dip their butts. read more

It was amazing and the boat operators were amazing. They have surprises that I don't want to spoil but I highly recommend.

We had the best time. It was so amazing. The music ans staff were great. We felt safe.

I have parasailed many times when visiting Catalina and this is the absolute BEST and ONLY company that I recommend. I made the mistake a few trips ago booking with another company and the experience was subpar in all aspects. Xtreme has the most incredible people, from booking and checking in to the ones that are on the boat, they are awesome and second to none. My bestie that went with me had never parasailed before but she finally agreed (under duress) to go. Thanks to the guys on the boat she felt much better about it and we both had an awesome experience. read more
