We booked an excursion for our 17 & 15 year olds. They had a wonderful time out on the boat and said the team was informative about the safety measures and took time to answer their questions. We also purchased the photo package and received those later in the day. read more

Got completely ripped off. Loaded my family up for 5 mins and then said it was too rough and that we'd get a full refund. Next day their office personnel said it was good enough and charged us full price. read more

So much fun. Very early to book and the guy came right away. The experience was only 15min but it felt longer. It was absolutely amazing

We booked a parasailing trip and everything was seamless! You take almost like a water taxi to the main boat and they have the timing down like clockwork. You trade out with the slot ahead of you. We did a morning time (cheaper) and couldn't have been happier with the weather! On the way back, the guy stopped while we tried capturing a picture of a nearby dolphin. It's the small things. They do take pictures you can purchase digital for $25. It is hard to get your own due to having to stay seated on the boat. We had some happy 10 year olds and would definitely explore other tours if we return! read more

Definitely recommend this place! Jacob and Matthew were awesome! Great with the kiddo and had good tunes on! We will be back

Great boat, great crew, always a fun time on AMI! Excellent location to get out in the Gulf fast. A comfortable boat with top notch gear. Safe, peaceful and fun day on the water. read more

They were very nice and when we saw dolphins on the way back they stopped and made sure everyone got to see the dolphins. They made sure you knew everything that was going to happen and how high it was going to be. Felt very safe the whole time. - my 10 year old who went and is a very discerning reviewer. read more

What a fun afternoon! We booked the dolphin cruise and had so much fun. We saw so many dolphins and got great pics and videos. We stopped for a while at the sandbar. I didn't realize this part when I booked but, at the sandbar, you can search for sand dollars (and there is a ton of them!) We saw and captured (just to look at and then set free) two spider crabs, too. Very pleasant afternoon and would definitely revisit next time we are in town. read more

Excellent in all elements have needed. Always a joy to work for them! Always extending an extra hand!

We had booked and paid for parasailing for my husband's birthday with Bradenton beach parasailing, competitor to Yolo. They emailed/ called morning of his birthday to cancel because they didn't have the minimum to make it worth their while. I called Yolo and they fit us in day of and saved the birthday. Their team was great from the young woman who checked us in at the lime green hut next to Bridge Tender to the guy in the rubber boat who made sure we saw manatees and dolphins to the two on the boat who took him up parasailing and made us laugh. I can't thank them enough for saving the birthday after the other folks left us hanging. read more

We have parasailed with YOLO (You Only Live Once) Adventures for several years. The staff has a great efficient system for getting you to the boat. Everyone is nice and cheerful and provide an overall fun attitude. We've taken our 81 year old dad and 73 year old mom parasailing with them as well as our kids since they were 7 or so. Always a great time! Highly recommend them! read more

We had a great time w/ Captain Mark on an eco tour. He was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We saw a shark and a couple dolphins up close. Wow! Snorkeled on a sandbar and saw many live conchs and some crabs. So fun!!! read more

We were here for vacation loved this place on time friendly and fast we will be back and use the same place with friends your able to take your phone and anything in a bag at your own risk they also offer pictures that we bought also. They take you out there on a boat also not a banana boat which is enjoyable as they tell you about the places and possibly see wildlife on your way out there!!! Great place great people read more

Took my sister, whom I had not seen in 52 years, Parasailing. We had the best time parasailing together. Crew was terrific . Great fun!!! Plan to do it again, soon! read more

Kim is the best manicurist! She takes her time and is very gentle. She is our go-to choice in Great Falls. So lucky to have found her!

4 of my family members, myself included went parasailing with YOLO while visiting Anna Maria Island. None of us had ever been and the staff made all of us feel comfortable and helped to calm us preflight. We are all so glad we went. It was a wonderful experience. We hope to be able to return. read more

These guys are great. I've been on two parasailing trips with them now and each one is better than the last! Everyone is friendly and very entertaining and I will be back to try out their other adventures. I highly recommend! read more

My family and I went on the sunset cruise and ended up being the only ones on the boat!!!! We loved every single minute. Captain Mark was very informative and funny. He really made the cruise educational and made sure we saw everything!!! He even took pics with my phone of my family and I with the sun going down behind us. Having been there since 1975, Mark knows a lot about the marine life and the neighborhood. We saw MANY dolphins and different species of birds. The sun painted the sky so brilliantly. It was a sunset to remember. My kiddos even got to man the wheel for a bit which was the highlight of the cruise for them. Thank you, Mark! You made our vacay super special. read more

See all

Yolo Adventures is awesome! We scheduled a two hour boat ride for our family. Anthony took us out to see dolphins, a gorgeous sand bar packed with creatures to see and gently touch, and then a ride by the Village of Cortez where we learned even more. The boat was perfect for us and he was incredibly mindful of the kids and all. Thank you, Yolo and Anthony! read more

These folks are awesome! We went out this morning at 10am, captain guy and helper dude John were very knowledgeable and fun. They were very professional and took good care of our children! (Most important). Our first parasailing adventure was really fun! We will definitely go back! Still awesome one year later,,,, out today for our now yearly flights. :) still very professional and fun! Totally feel safe with these guys, I give them another solid 5 star rating read more

Our first time parasailing was a huge success! We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day in island paradise, and both Guy and John were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and agriculture in the area. The cord gradually releases you, so you don't feel a jolt when you're heading up (and hey, if you fall in, it's just water right?). At the end, Guy also dunked us chest-deep into the water, which was extremely refreshing. I will definitely recommend them to everyone! read more

AMAZING! The staff were very friendly and professional. My boyfriend and I felt very safe and honestly I was a little nervous but their since of humor and cool demeanor had me reassured the whole time. 10/10 we will be going again! read more

Excellent. Went parasailing and had so much fun. Cheaper than anything we found in Siesta Key. Great service and our guide were funny and friendly. Totally recommend. read more

Took a fishing charter with Eric he was very friendly and knew a lot of spot to catch fish

My friend and I went parasailing with yolo adventures and it was so much fun! Every person working there was nice and friendly and it was an awesome experience! read more

Great snorkeling trip! They fit us in day before, no problem. Captain John was just the right mix of friendly and professional and very interested in what he does. Had a great snorkel and Egmont Key is an interesting place. Highly recommend it! read more

Awesome place to parasail. I went here on senior trip and 14 of us all went parasailing it was an awesome experience. The employees were super accommodating and very helpful, Jake and Chastity stood out and helped all of us out a lot. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to parasail, very professional environment and well priced. read more

Very efficient and friendly staff. Stayed up longer than the other place, for the same price. Honored the discount the other place offered. Pictures they took on the USB was cheaper and of great quality. A great time for my granddaughter's 18th birthday present. read more

We took our two teenage kids parasailing. My wife and I went along for the joy ride. We all had a great time. All the staff were friendly and personable. read more

Dolphin cruise was wonderful! Sandbar exploring was amazing! Well worth the $, which isn't much at all! $35 per adult for a 2 hour cruise? How can you go wrong? read more

Great trip to the sandbar and then looking at for dolphins. Captain Mike was great - helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. Definitely something I would do again! read more

This was a great adventure! We were the first group of the day. It included my husband and myself and a group of three other people. The main man was very funny and made jokes on our way out to relax us. On our way back the other man pointed out hundreds of cow nose rays and well as sunken ships from a recent storm. My husband is afraid of heights but loved the experience. It was very relaxing and felt safe and sturdy up in the air. The man assured us that if anything breaks you float slowly to land and float in the water. They have seen turtles, Dolphins and sharks from the air- the water was cloudy on our day but still beautiful to see from the air. They got pictures of us from the boat that they shared via Dropbox but can also put on CD. I highly recommend this to anyone and we are hoping to come back soon with family!!! read more

Went out for a sunset cruise with yolo. We had the boat all to ourselves and had an amazing time! Friendly captain who was knowledgeable and engaging. Saw lots of Dolphins and the sunset was just gorgeous. He stopped the boat in the perfect spot for my sunset pictures. Best price around and such a great experience! Would absolutely use them again. read more

The crew was awesome! They made us free very comfortable with the whole experience and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants in the area too. Parasailing is actually a very relaxing experience. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Definitely would recommend the sunset cruise. Ask for Guy, you won't be disappointed.

Guy and his mate were wonderfully fun and funny. Well worth money & found a new place to return to each time I'm in town.

very unprofessional; they took us out on a windy day, and the "parasailing" was lame. The boat was not even moving when we were in the air. We would have rather they had told us it was too windy to have a good experience but instead they took our money and it was overall a waste of time and money for us. read more

Great trip with Yolo. We appreciated how YOLO recommended we move our excursion out a day or two for better weather. They really made sure we had the best opportunity to enjoy the trip. We saw dolphins and spent some time on a sandbar looking at spider crabs, fish, sand dollars and sea urchins. Great way to see the island from a different point of view. read more

This is a TERRIBLE company! The captain of our boat almost hit another boat, did nothing to help identify wildlife and then yelled at my son. I contacted the owner, Ryan Davis who at the time apologized and said he would refund our money. Weeks later, I called back to find out where the money was and he stated he was not going to do it and he didn't care if I filed a complaint with the BBB. I suggest you find another company to sail with! read more
