There is also a $25 photo package where the crew member will take photos on a digital camera and give you a disc afterward. My 7-year-old son and I (yep, everyone except infants and pregnant women can ride) did this for the first time yesterday. There is no discount for children, though. Started off signing some waivers, and then with a short boat ride to the parasailing "section." This trip was in the bay as the ocean was "like a washing machine" according to the staff. I was on the boat with a family of 8, and they let us go first as we were rookies at this. When we got to the start, the crew decided to change the chute to the larger one, so we had a short delay of a few minutes. They set up the bigger chute, and got my son and I on the rear deck of the new 2011 boat. We during the first part of the ride were given life vests and a seating harness. With the chute fully opened and in the air, we were hooked into the caribeaners and seating. In a few seconds, we were airborn! Flying! We were anywhere from 350 to 500 feet in the air, and it was a lot of fun to see the 360' views for miles. We even were "close" enough to wave to other boats and be waved back to. You could carry on a conversation, and the breeze was nice and not loud. The boat made some zigzags and slowed down to get up and down in the chute, and you spend about 10-15 minutes in the air. Then, they pull you back and at the very end if you wish, they can dip you into the water. It can be just your feet, or up to your neck! I was surprised at how warm the bay water was. Since we went first, my son and I got to sit on the boat drying off while everyone else went - sometimes in triple, or doubles. The crew and staff were very professional, and likable. There were no problems at all with our tour. They boast a 100% safety record. The entire trip lasts about 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on how many are in the boat going. I highly recommend going parasailing while you're on vacation in LBI! I'll be back!

(This is not a 1st person review as I only handled the logistics for my kids who are the ones who…read moreactually did the parasailing. Why not me? No need to chum the ocean with my vomit once I get airborne. Thanks but no thanks.) The key to the whole experience with OC Parasail is easy with one small exception. The setup is you go to their site (www.oceancityparasail.com), find a date and time, choose something and then all pricing is laid out clearly. After payment you get a confirmation email or two explaining everything from where to go to what you can/can't bring with you and when they want you to show up. Check in was fast and easy with a small waiver needing to be filled out. After that it was time to wait until the captain was ready. Note that they do offer some type of photo package add on but it's on the expensive side. The staff was quite happy when we declined since none of the people on the ride were getting photos so I assume the needed equipment didn't have to come on the boat. The kids said the experience was fun. The captain had the radio blaring and was poorly-humorously "singing" along to some of his favorites. Two of the other patrons from the mid-west who had never seen/been on the ocean before apparently hurled over the side once things started rocking around a bit. I guess they had a good time even if they were still turning colors when everyone got back on solid ground after the ride. Here's the one tiny issue: Parking. Bay Avenue is all condos/homes on one side of the street with a single row of parking and a solid mix of condos and commercial business on the other with no parking. The business has a small pad next to their check in hut but it's not really somewhere designed for long-term parking. More of a drop and go point. Past that it's good luck on the street. The restaurant next door (Dockside Kitchen) has their own lot but I'm not sure if it's useable or not by for non-patrons if they are open. In the end everyone was happy with the experience and everything ran on time and was as expected. I mean sure it's pricey, but that's to be expected commensurate to the activity. No problem bringing them back for another round in the future if they want it.

Let me start this review by saying that I have spent many summers renting wave runners in Ocean…read moreCity and was not worried about my ability to use the watercraft on the water. With that said, if I was a novice, I would have been terrified to get on the water. The inept group of high schoolers and college students that helped us get out were not confidence inspiring. The woman who checked us in told us to "be careful" multiple times and insisted that we watch the safety video. However, not five seconds after we had moved to the area where you watch the video did she tell us to go outside and get a life vest. I was shocked at the speed with which were were out on the water. Once at the end of the dock, the kid that checked us in explained no less than 3 times that "this is really dangerous" without any words of guidance or advice. I got the sense that they were just waiting for something bad to happen. Once we were out there, things were fine, although the definitely had too many people out there. We spent lots of time worrying about other riders coming up behind us or stopping short in front of us while the "staff" sat and talked on or near the path where customers are supposed to ride. Worst of all this was about $150/hour. If you are itching to use a wave runner on the bay, this place is probably your best bet. But for my money, I would drive to Marmora and rent some wave runners on the bay. I would love to give a local small business 5 stars but I just cannot in good conscious given the flippant manner in which our safety was treated.
