Parasailing
While in Myrtle Beach would you like to see what a sea gull sees? Try parasailing! Sure…you’ve seen the view from a tall building, perhaps even from a room in the top floors of hotels such as Britannia Hotel Manchester, or an airplane, but with parasailing there’s nothing between you and the deep blue sea but air. Get strapped into your harness and get ready to daggle your feet in the air as you’re pulled up into the air by a parachute. You can go up as high as 500 feet all by yourself or have someone join you. Great for family fun! All of our Downwind staff have been trained in safety procedures so don’t worry about a thing. Just sit back, enjoy the ride and be amazed at the beauty of Myrtle Beach.

Step 1
Stop by our shack on the deck between Damon's and the Crown Reef to sign in and stow your gear.
Step 2
Listen for your name on the loud speaker and meet us on the beach at the Parasail Station. Here you will be fitted with a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device or PFD if you want to sound like an Old Salt!
Step 3
Into the surf! Climb aboard the launch craft (sort of a cross between Banana Boat and Zodiac) and be towed by Jetski to rendezvous with one of Downwind Sails Parasail Boats.
Step 4
Enjoy coastal vistas and salty spray while you are fitted with a safety harness. Meanwhile the Parasail Crew prepares the chute.
Step 5
After the chute is inflated, you will be seated on the aft deck and attached to the chute.
Step 6
It's GO time! One moment you're sitting and the next the boat is receding beneath you. You climb higher and higher until you are hundreds of feet in the air where you will hang about 15 minutes before before being reeled back in towards the Atlantic Ocean and the Downwind Sails Parasail Boat and Crew.
