Highly recommend! This was definitely our favorite experience while visiting. The gentlemen were laid back and fun while still keeping it professional. I appreciated that they took safety very seriously. Got to see some dolphins on the ride which was awesome. Will definitely be coming back here when more family comes to visit! Thank you for such a fun experience! read more

Such an awesome experience here! Jack and Sean did such a great job hanging with everyone on the boat and making sure everyone was safe and comfortable. You can see cool sea creatures while up in the sky, cool experience for those not afraid of heights! read more

You have to try it! We recently took a trip to Port Aransas, and wanted to do something fun. I have always wanted to parasail so this was an easy decision! It was easy to make a reservation online, and if you have members of your party who don't want to fly, they can go as a spectator for a reduced price. When we arrived, we had to sign a waiver, and watch a quick safety video. You can add a photo or go-pro video pack as if you like. After that we were off! The water was amazingly blue, and we even saw dolphins. There were 12 people on the boat. Before your turn they harness you up and you put on a life jacket. The captain was super nice and will ask you if you want to be dipped in the water. He just dipped out feet. The parasailing itself lasted 10 minutes. It was such an amazing experience, and felt like we were flying through the air on a giant swing. It was really peaceful and people on their boats would wave as they went by. The crew was super nice too! Make sure to take cash to tip. I am ready to go back for round two! read more

Super easy to get to - though if you're taking the ferry to get there, be sure to give yourself plenty of time. The ferry app said 15 minutes. But our wait was over 45 minutes! Parking is right there on site. And the young lady that met us at the desk was very nice. You are required to watch a safety video prior to getting on the boat. It is very informative & worth your attention! They were prompt & right on schedule. Once out on the water, the crew explained what was going to happen & rode around a bit to find the best place to get everyone in the air. There were 2 people (going up together) before it was our turn. It was fun just watching how it works. Once it was our turn, the crew assisted us in getting on the harnesses, then adjusted the life jackets for a snug fit. He assisted my friend to get into the sitting position in order to get us up. (the boat was a bit rocky) Then before we knew it, we were going up, up, up! The parasailing was really FUN! The wind decided to play some games, so there was a bit of turning going on. The view was fantastic! Since the winds were a bit tricky, for safety reasons, we weren't able to get dunked. We felt safe the entire time. Chute 'Em Up Parasailing gets a 10/10!! read more

My recent adventure with Chute-Em-Up Parasailing was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and exhilarating. Joseph and Mike were entertaining and nice. I recommend and will visit them again. read more

These are the guys to parasail with while in Port A. Friendly and efficient although were easily bribed by my husband to fully dip my mom and I to our chest in the Ayer rather than just our toes. It was pretty comical though read more

Chute 'Em Up Parasailing - Up up and asay - Parasailing Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Yay!! Chute 'em up Parasailing is so fun! Shawn, the parasail instructor, is super nice and patient. VERY patient. A family on our boat was from Ft. Worth, but they originally lived in Seattle. The family of five referred to each other as Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister and...well, they didn't really talk to or about the middle child. Mom and Dad have been married for 20 years and the Dad has been a business owner for 41 years--in real estate--and he doesn't think he knows if he could work for someone else. The family is staying at Port Royal, they normally visit Florida--they love the beach in Destin--but right now they're trying to find places closer that they can drive their RV to, which makes Port A a good destination because they can drive here in just 8 hours. They've been to Corpus, too, but didn't really like it, they think there's more to do in Port A. Only one of the kids was eager to Parasail, but Brother--the 1st born--was most nervous. Brother wouldn't even get on his dad's Harley--well, he was okay with the trike, but the motorcycle made him nervous, so obviously parasailing would make him nervous, too. Brother eventually got on the Harley and since then he's loved it!! According to Dad, anyway. They have a boat too, but it's not as big as the parasailing boat. Dad said their boat is a 21 footer, Brother corrected him and let him know it was a 24 footer. Anyhoo--once Brother got up there he had a good time and Dad wanted to take a picture and post it on Facebook so Brother's girlfriend could see what a good time he was having. They went to the swing bar for coffee this morning, because the buffet at Port Royal is closed due to Covid (Port Royal has decent beds, though, which is important when you're almost 60. Which Dad is, his birthday is tomorrow.) Did you know St. Augustine is the oldest town in America? We all know that now. St. Augustine is known for its lighthouses, and in Port A there is an active lighthouse that we passed to get to the point from where we parasailed. We saw some dolphins, too. Brother has been going to Gatorland in FL since he was this high. Mom took some GoPro pics of the dolphins and forced Brother to take the GoPro when he went parasailing. When Mom and Dad were up on the parasail, Mom managed the GoPro, and all three of the kids asked how much of a bribe it would take for Shawn and Captain to dunk their parents completely in the water (we would have contributed to that bribe!). You could tell they were thinking about it, but based on everything we had heard to that point, it didn't seem like Mom and Dad had the sense of humor to receive that well. Dad thinks it's too bad everyone in California has ruined that state, and now people from California are moving to Colorado (Shawn is from Colorado, did you know? It's about all we managed to find out about anyone on the boat other than Dad) and people in Colorado are making their way to Texas. Specifically Austin. Dad informed us that Californians want to divide California into 3 states, and he thinks people can't agree to disagree anymore. After parasailing, they were heading out fishing and they specifically asked for a captain with a good personality. At one point, Shawn said that sometimes his boat gets passengers that just don't shut up. The three of us thought that was funny....Dad went on to tell us that Tennessee, Texas, and Florida don't have state income taxes and Shawn should be happy that he no longer needs to pay state income taxes. A lot of Dad's friends are moving to Tennessee from California, because California is ruined. There were 2 other women on the boat with us, we don't know anything about them. Maybe they're from California. Chute 'em up parasailing is a fun, high-flying adventure and it's a must if you're in Port A! Oh and btw, pay attention when Captain and Shawn pull in the parachute. Wow. P.S. Mom looked at our shirts and never figured out what they said. Bfubi, Escktc, & Tinghes read more

Chute 'Em Up Parasailing - Parasailing Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

I booked a trip in July for my 16 year old daughter's birthday and I received a phone call October 2nd to let me know that my October 9th trip is canceled because they don't run trips during the week in the month of October. I asked why they didn't let me know in July when I booked and was told they couldn't answer for decisions the manager makes. read more

This was a great experience. They took their time and let us watch the dolphins on our way out of the bay, so we didn't feel rushed and were able to enjoy the boat ride. Fun and safe, these guys know what they're doing. My 12 year old was in good hands. We would definitely do this again. read more

I had never been parasailing and after doing my research I decided on this company. Their website and staff is very well put together. They do offer military discounts (just call ahead) not only do you go parasailing, but you get an enjoyable boat ride! The boat is in great shape and all the equipment is very well kept. I would def recommend this company! read more

Awesome experience. We did a double and a single. My son and I went up together and the man of the house went up solo. The crew was professional yet very down to earth/friendly. I will say - initially - I was somewhat scared to do this. I mean hundreds of people do this every day and it would be my luck something would go wrong. Our crew made sure those reluctant were eased. I really trusted them even when I was 500 ft in the air. It was an amazing experience and so quiet/peaceful. I managed to take my GoPro with me and not drop it (yay!). I will have to look at the videos some time this week. I am sure I made some memorable faces. What you need to know: Must be 150 lbs to go solo. Solo is $75 and doubles are $125. They offer triples too but there is a weight limit. I am not sure what that is. Don't forget to carry cash with you to trip the guys taking you out (if you enjoyed the trip and experience). read more

Chute 'Em Up Parasailing - Yep, that's me way up there. Come try it out. - Parasailing Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

We returned to Chute 'Em Up Parasailing nearly a year after our first experience so our son and his wife could give it a try. I'm pleased to report that all the things I had complained about in my first review have now begin fixed and that I am able to upgrade my previous four-star review to five enthusiastic stars. The actual sailing experience remains a blast, and the guys on the boat really know what they're doing. There's now a lady handling all the booking, and she is very responsive to phone messages. They've also built a new dock area with a nice big sign to mark their presence. Chute 'em up? Check 'em out! read more

We loved it! So much fun and everyone was great! They explained everything so I felt safe and it was an incredible experience! Highly recommend! Can't believe more people don't do this! read more

Chute 'Em Up Parasailing - First time parasailing - Parasailing Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

The parasailing was a great experience. My complaint is the equipment they gave us as part of the gopro package. I specifically asked the girl at the counter prior to our departure if there was something wrong with our gopro because it kept timing out. She told me this was "normal", it was not. This really, really, really, sucked because I was unable to record this experience with my grandson. When I called to ask for a refund, the same person did not even apologize to me for her mistake in recognizing something had gone wrong with the equipment. P.S. Returning was a bit reckless at SUPER, SUPER high speeds (no exaggeration) with kids on the boat (my grandson included) and no life jackets. Had we cruised back, not wearing life vests would have been ok. read more

My wife and I decided parasailing was one of our bucket list things to do. We are both afraid of heights so this was a big deal for us. The crew was very professional and friendly. They run a safe operation and put us at ease about the whole experience. It's no longer a bucket list item but instead something that we will do more often. The price was very reasonable. Do not let your fear of heights be a reason not to try this. read more

So much fun! Everyone definitely needs to put this on their bucket list! The guys made us feel so welcomed and safe. Made the whole experience so enjoyable. Booking was so easy online. We will definitely be coming back again soon read more

Want to be a human kite? Want to see the entire bay and beyond? Go parasailing. We picked a calm weather day. I get motion sick pretty easily and the boat ride was as smooth as it could be. Once I got up in the air, it was pretty smooth too. Although if you look forward and down, you may get a bit queasy, or at least I did. The crew was really nice and sweet, with a bit of humor too. Great experience for my entire family! All and all, take your family up in the air and make a fun memory. read more

Loved it!! We had an amazing group and the guys operating our boat were awesome! Definitely will be coming back!

For us, the event was very easy to arrange and the trip was super fun! We highly recommend parasailing with Chute 'em Up. The guys were VERY professional, yet kept the atmosphere fun and light. We did two flights, each flight with one adult and one 9 year old. Everyone had a fantastic time. read more

My husband and I booked this for our vacation about 2 months out. When we got there the reserved time got rained out due to hurricane storms. The second day we had to get pushed back bit did end up going. IT WAS COMPLETELY WORTH THE WAIT!!!! Such a peaceful and magical experience. If you are visiting the area this is a MUST DO. read more

What a great experience. The crew made us feel very comfortable as we had not done this before. The whole experience was great and we will be back to do it again!!! I would give more stars if I could. read more

A great way to top off a trip to Port Aransas! These guys are professional and friendly to boot.

This was our first time parasailing and it was amazing! We're also from out of town so it was especially nice for the guides to give us some pointers for some equally amazing restaurants and things to do around town. Can't wait to come back and do it again!! read more

Update: They called and offered us another go-round free of charge complete with pictures. We would have taken them up on it had we been called yesterday, but we already have plans today we are leaving tomorrow for home. I very much appreciated the offer, and it was great of them to do everything they could to make things right. I added another star for this reason. I absolutely hate to give this place three stars since I know that they got five from everybody else. My husband and I went yesterday and it was both of our first times. The people were so nice, and the experience itself was very fun. We enjoyed being on the boat and the actual parasailing was so relaxing with a fabulous view. I do wish it lasted longer than 10 minutes since we shelled out over $150 total, but I understand that we are paying for the experience as well as the expertise and equipment that goes into making it happen. The problem actually started whenever we arrived back at our hotel later that evening. My husband discovered that the SD card with all the pictures on it that we purchased was corrected, and therefore contained no pictures. I was so disappointed since I was looking forward to having a record of what we had done. I called and left a voice message that evening. This morning around nine I received a call from what I assumed was the manager apologizing and letting us know that he would try to find the pictures for us. He said if he couldn't find them, we could come back tomorrow and parasail again and get more pictures. We were very satisfied by this decision and excited at the possibility of getting to try it again. He said he would call back in about an hour. However, around 3:30 PM came and went and still no phone call, so we called to check up. We talked to a woman who said that she would get back to us, and then we got a email saying that we would get our money back on the pictures and that was it. I'm very glad that they offered us a refund, and that's okay but it is still disappointing that we went through all that expense and time to experience something that we made sure to pay to be recorded for the memories and now we have nothing. All in all I would recommend this company because we felt safe and had a good time. They have a higher rating and do inspections often. However, if you do decide to use them and to buy the picture package I would recommend that you still have someone on the boat take pictures for you just in case. I wish I had. read more

This was such an amazing experience!! The two captains on our boat were very informative, nice, funny, and cute too! The actual parasailing was so relaxing and beautiful. I was just a little bummed because my mom, sister and I were all supposed to go sailing together, but weren't able to because of wind conditions that day. To fix that issue, they just let my mom go twice, once with me and once with my sister. So definitely call ahead and ask about wind conditions if you want to go three at once! We also bought the go pro and picture package which was awesome because you can show everyone what you did later on! Highly recommend. read more

Great time, we had a party of 8, 4 flyers and 4 observers. Crew was both informative and talkative to the observers. Didn't feel left out while the others were flying. Definitely going back read more

We had a party of eight, four flyers and four observers we all had a blast!! The crew was extremely friendly and down to earth. Highly recommend this place for some fun in the sun. read more

Super easy to book! Unlike many other places in Port A, they actually have a website and online booking feature!! Yaay! The experience is awesome and super fun! We did ours at 8pm and were able to see the sunset, awesome! read more

You've got to try this! Call for ride conditions before heading to your flight because high winds will cancel it. The staff will gladly find you another date or refund if they can't make your first reservation. Boat staff work for tips so help them out, they do a great job. Would have been 5 stars if the pictures/video of your ride was with GoPro on the chute. Pics are from the boat with a cheap camera. Not worth $25. Bring your own for free. They have selfy GoPros available but they don't advertise that. Call for pricing. read more

Excellent operation. Safety conscious, friendly, organized, reasonably priced, nothing was lacking about this group. This was the most professional parasailing company I have ever encountered all over the Gulf & Caribbean. If you've ever considered this activity, are nervous or just love parasailing, these guys are the ones to go with. Highlight of our Spring Break! read more

If you can only do one thing, choose this. It is totally thrilling yet safe. This is not like the parasailing of years ago. It is safe and smooth. We went three days in a row and LOVED it. This was the highlight of our week in Port Aransas. It is very close to Corpus and totally worth the drive. The staff was so amazing and kind with my daughter who was very nervous and shy. She really came out of her shell and tells everyone about parasailing at Chute'Em Up. read more

We had such a good time doing this. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. We went up about 200 ft saw dolphins and a 125 year old lighthouse. I would highly recommend this for the whole family. When you are not flying you can enjoy a nice boat ride. This is definitely a must do if you come to port A read more
