awesome experience with professional workers who do a great job! The two workers were fun and they entertained the entire boat. They even showed compassion for a customer who was super nervous and unwilling to go. They ended up going and loved the experience read more

Ben + Christian were fantastic! They were very friendly, made sure everyone was having fun and kept us all safe! They made the experience incredible! We will definitely do this again soon and highly recommend to others. read more

(Experience was back in May) Great first time experience parasailing here-- we were apparently the first group of the season! The group only consisted of my boyfriend and me and then another couple, so it was a very chill and intimate experience. Our captain and guide was Gavin and Brian who were both friendly throughout the entire experience read more

We had a great experience! It was our children's first time and they made it unforgettable!

We had Ben and Christian as our captain and crew. We slipped into easy conversation and were joking with them before we left the dock. Ben had obvious experience handling the boat; he gently landed us on the boat after feeling like a bird soaring hundreds of feet in the air. Christian was exactly what you want as crew; professional, calm, and conversational. Even while all this fun was being had safety was omnipresent. read more

This parasail was a total blast! Captain Kevin and his assistants Christian and Gavin made this trip even better and worth every penny. We chose the longest line, 1,000 feet for the greatest altitude. This was the best choice. For only $20.00 per person the difference between the 600 foot line and the 1,000 foot line is well worth it. They also have an intermediate 800 foot line. As their website states, "Go big or go home". The view from the top is fantastic! The most noticeable aspect of being so high is the sound, or more appropriately lack thereof. Just total silence. Even the sounds from fishing boats, power boats and the Coast Guard cutter passing down the bay were inaudible. The 360 degree view was spectacular! We will go again next summer. Quick tip: Spend the $100.00 to purchase the combination photo and video package even if you bring your own cell phones. The GoPro Hero on the wrist strap they provide makes for great video memories. read more

We booked for a 3 o'clock parasail today and waited for 15 minutes. The captain/owner was super friendly and enjoyed talking with us before going on the boat. The other passengers were also friendly, and we joked about the sharks in the water. We also booked photos and Go Pro, both of which turned out super well! The experience itself up in the air was amazing. The captain sailed us around the Newport Bridge, and we were at the same height as the cars on the bridge. It was the best parasailing experience you could have, I definitely recommend this if you are in town! read more

You should definitely add this to your list of things to do when in Newport! The boat ride was breezy, the crew is very fun, and you get the best parasailing experience. It is not scary at all and the views from the top are magnificent. I was hesitant about getting the photo package but it's so worth it. It captures everything in the moment and it's something to always look back to. read more

Great experience! Captain and crewman (Alex) were fantastic. Very safe, fun, relaxing. read more

My first time parasailing was an amazing experience, the views of Newport could not be beat!. It was difficult finding the location but we allowed additional time as instructed in my confirmation email. . Once arrived I found the crew to be professional, friendly and reassuring that safety was a top priority. If you've never been, you sit in a swing like device and they attach you to the parasail and up you go (I chose 600 feet). I definitely suggest a photo or go-pro added to your package, at the end of your sail they provide a SD Memory Card; I'm so glad I did because now I have great memories of my experience. Highly reccomend if you want to try something new and different! read more

Island Style Parasail - The ladies on the parasail ready for blast off. - Parasailing Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Had a blast with Island Style Parasail and I didn't even parasail! Took my daughter and her friend and they had a blast with their flying experience! Everything was safe and the guys, Brian and Leif, made sure to hype us all up. They were professional, but it was like a comedy show at the same time with their jokes and humor! Put us all at ease and made us all feel welcome! And special shout out to Avery! Who on her first day on the job went up with my girls because they were not heavy enough for the parachute due to the wind! Thank you to all at Island Style Parasail. read more

Wonderful experience! Kevin and Evan were just phenomenal, making sure we all felt secure and having fun. A good time was had by all. Highly recommended! read more

Great experience! Fun and friendly crew that took COVID safety precautions seriously. Such a fun thing to do with beautiful views of Narragansett Bay and Newport. I was really surprised how peaceful it was once we took off from the boat. I'm not sure the photo/video package (extra $$) would be worth it when you're already paying ~$100pp, but to each their own! I just got pictures of other pairs and pretended it was us! You can't see their faces when their up in the air anyway! :D read more

Excellent Service. Had an amazing and Fun experience. Very Friendly Crew who made sure the trip was memorable. This is my second time doing the Sail, I accompanied my wife on her first sailing experience and she just had total fun. Will recommenced to everyone. Thanks, Surya read more

Cannot recommend this company enough. First, we had booked an outing in August 2020 which was cancelled by horrible weather. The company was so nice and professional, keeping us in the loop as the weather progressed. This time we had the perfect day as we set off into the skies. The crew members were professional, fun and we could tell that we were safe. You enjoy zipping through the water on the boat while people take turns going up. Don't hesitate - book with them for your trip! It will be unforgettable. read more

This is a must-do experience! This a.m., I took my 14 & 16 year olds out to parasail with Island Style Parasail. We chose the 9 a.m. time because it was a $20 savings over regular prices. First, PJ at the booth was great; he has a good personality and is very customer-service oriented. We stopped by last night and I filled out the electronic waiver form via an iPad and paid cash for the rides. I paid a fee for me to go out on the ride, but not actually parasail. I not only wanted to see the kids trip in the air, but also wanted to take photos. (Island Time does offer a service where one of the guys will take photos with a really great camera with a zoom lens. He takes 50-60 shots from "launch" to "landing", and if one does pay the $35 for this service, it includes the memory card with the photos to take home. The other two pairs we went out with both chose this, but since I was taking pics of my own, I didn't get this option.) We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled departure. We'd totally forgotten our sunscreen and when I inquired if they did have any for sale, found they didn't, but PJ graciously offered his own to apply. I really appreciated that because none of us got burned while out on this trip. We also bought cold bottled water for $1 each from PJ, before we left. While we waited for our departure time, I noticed the two boat crew members wiping down the boat, getting all gear ready, and checking everything was set for the trip. They had to go get fuel and there was a long line, so they ended up coming back to the dock a tad after 9, but that didn't affect our trip time length in any way, so we were fine with that. When they were ready for us to board, we were all helped on to the boat and then the crew introduced themselves as Andrew and Captain Kevin. They were both friendly and cheerful. As we traveled out to the open water, they chatted with us and Andrew gave safety and gear instructions to the group. He got everyone in life vests right away and then one-by-one, got each participant in to his/her harness. When we were out at the spot where they were going to get the parachute ready to go, the first pair was helped in to place to get hooked up. (Andrew had gone over how to properly get on to the back of the boat and slide in to place.). There are options for line length: 600', 800', or 1000'. Everyone on this trip had the 1000' line, which is the maximum. Everyone was thrilled with the view and was happy they'd had that vantage point. All three pairs, including my kids, had ample time up in the air, and all were given the option of a little "dip" in the water on their way to being reeled back in to the boat. The first pair declined, the second said yes, and as they reeled my kids in, I said yes for them. Basically, it's a quick toe-touch of the surface of the water and no one gets soaked; they ended up with only wet legs and mildly wet shorts. The whole experience was excellent, and it was great to be out on the water on a super muggy, hot day. (It was low 80s as we took off and was slated to be in the 90s with high humidity.) The gear and the boat itself was all in fantastic, clean condition. They offer good-looking long and short-sleeved logo shirts at the customer service booth. We'd absolutely recommend this and would do it again in the future. Thank you for great memories made today, Captain Kevin, Andrew, and PJ! P.S. Remember to tip the crew because they do a great job! read more

Fantastic! I recommend everyone visiting Newport to check this out. The guys running it were friendly, fun and made me feel comfortable about parasailing. The flight was amazing. Its like floating on air. I was as high up as the Newport Bridge. Not nearly as scary as it appears. I am definitely doing this again next year. Priced right. I only wished I had bought the go.pro package. I would have really liked to relive my trip. read more

Traveled to Newport to visit family and was looking for something different this time around. Since we live in the Midwest and we wanted to do an oceanic activity so we decided to give parasailing a shot. We definently made the right decision. My daughter and wife both took flight and came back with smiles that were priceless. I would definently spring for the picture package as the ones they took were much better than what I attempted. Will do it again on our next visit. read more

Amazing experience!! The guys on the boat were great with my 12 year old son! They were knowledgeable, polite, took great pictures for us (totally worth the $ for the photo package). We can't wait to go back! read more

Great event. Very cool guys and they were good with refunding a part of our package. FYI, I took the 600ft ride which was very nice and calm. My friend took the 1000ft ride which was more windy and exciting like a roller coaster. read more

Island Style Parasail - Parasailing Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

My daughter, who has parasailed before, convinced me to give it a try. Island Style Parasail made the whole process easy and fun. We signed up the day before. Showed up the following day for our 10:30 time slot on the pier and signed the waivers, or as I said "signed our lives away". Our ride was a little delayed due to a parade of yachts, seriously, a parade of yachts that were there for a race weekend. The boat crew apologized even though it wasn't their fault and then we set off. We were set up with our harnesses and life preservers and sped out to the start point. My daughter and I were the first to go, we were just sitting it the right spot. We had opted for the 800 feet. I was nervous but trusted the crew. After a couple seconds of being petrified I relaxed and loved the whole experience. They ask you if you want to get dipped in the water before being brought back onboard. Say yes! It is fun. They also ask if you want them to take photos or give you a go pro for why your up in the sky. We did the photos (they give you a disk with about 50 photos on it). It is well worth the additional $30. I love the photos. I would absolutely parasail and again and absolutely do it with Island Style Parasail when back in Newport (or Hawaii). PS - I'd post photos but we look like everyone else who has posted photos. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect in parasailing, but Island Style's customer service was great. Over a two-week period, at least three different people assisted me and guided me to the best plan. These guys take safety very seriously, and when it was too windy on the day of my initial reservation they called early, I rescheduled, booking a three-person sail on the 1,000-foot line and was planning to go up with my two sons. There wasn't enough wind for three, so Andrew remedied the situation on the spot and broke us into two separate sails - at no additional fee. It's a great family experience, even for the queasy. I recommend doing the 1,000-foot line and buying the video package to relive the experience. We'll be back again! read more

greatest experience of my life!! the views are absolutely incredible! I would recommend this to anyone!

Such a great experience. Maxed out and did the 1000 feet, with pictures. The guys running it were awesome and the pictures were so worth it. Would recommend to anyone in the Newport area. read more

Kevin, Alex and Maz were all very nice and friendly when we walked up to the booth for our reservation. Maz said he called me as we only showed up a few minutes before as it was hard to find parking. It ended up just my wife and I and another pair as a group never showed. We went out on time and Kevin and Alex, both from Hawaii, went over everything including helping us into the harnesses. The other pair went 1st and they had some props they used while taking pictures of them. When it our turn, my wife didn't want to go, even though she was the one that said "let's go parasailing" while we are in Newport. Anyway, they were very nice and accommodating and didn't take us as high as we paid for and we dipped our feet when we were coming back in, which felt good. It was very exhilarating to be floating in the air and seeing the yachts, mansions and even schools of fish.. We can now take it off our bucket list and would highly recommend this.. read more
