About this experience
We are one of the ONLY parasailing companies in Destin to just take 6 people max on your boat and offer a Cash Discount (Call or Text to book Cash!) All of the other places pack 12-15 people on their boat. If you're not used to being on a boat, prone to sea sickness, or if its 95 degrees and the conditions are choppy, being on a boat waiting for 12-15 people to parasail most folks end up seasick and sunburned taking the fun out of your experience. We only take 6 people max so it much more enjoyable and personal. We offer the highest and longest parasail rides in Destin and you don't have to sit on the boat watching a bunch of strangers parasail, lol. We are Owner-Operated w/28yrs under our belts, have a 100% Safety Record, and we love what we do. If you parasail with Sun Dogs, you'll never parasail anywhere else!

Best Parasailing in Destin!!!
Took the whole family parasailing. 19yr old and two 8yr olds. The crew was amazing! They offer a great discount for paying cash. After we were done parasailing our shuttle captain chased dolphins and got some right up next to the boat! Absolutely our best excursion experience of our week in Destin, hands down!
via Tripadvisor
We looked up Sun Dogs and loved that they had a 6 person max. Myself and two of my boys (8 & 7) went up and there were two others that joined, and we were back on shore right at an hour later. Gus and Blake made us feel safe and were great at telling us what to expect. Carrie came and got us in a jumper boat to transport us back to shore and was kind enough to stop and show us the dolphins as we wrapped up! We will be back again, and would highly recommend Sun Dogs!
Response from the operator: Super Cool! Dolphins are always the icing on the cake to a perfect parasail experience, lol. First, thank you for choosing Sun Dogs. With so many parasail companies in Destin, we really appreciate you coming to us. We are one of the only companies in Destin to just take 6 max on the boat. We've kept it like that because when there are 12-15 people on a parasail boat, and conditions are even a little bit wavy, people tend to get sea sick and not have a good time. Couple that with the sweltering heat and it just ruins the entire experience. That's why we've kept it at 6 max on the boat, total trip 1 hour, and it makes for a much much more enjoyable experience. I am ecstatic that we could show you an awesome time. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to write a review and for choosing Sun Dogs to fly with. Thank you!

Highly recommend Sun Dogs Parasailing!
Excellent communication to set up the experience. Taking the smaller transfer boat out of the inlet allowed us to see dolphins up close and personal ~ one swam beneath our boat!! We wouldn’t have gotten that close on one of the larger dolphin boats! Carrie was so wonderful ~ she’s an excellent captain through some of the rougher inlet waters caused by the bigger boats going by. Both boats are very clean, we felt safe the entire time. And what an experience!! Parasailing was my favorite vacation adventure, so peaceful way up there! Highly recommend, would definitely do it again!
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you! It means so much to us that you had such a good time and took the time to write a review to let everyone else know about your experience. The shuttle boat ride out and back in is a pretty cool experience by itself, lol. It's the BEST dolphin tour boat on the Harbor! We get an up close and personal experience when dolphins are around. I am so glad you got to experience that. Thank you for the compliment on the cleanliness of our boats, lol. I am a clean fanatic so it makes me proud that you noticed and complimented us on that. We try really hard to make Parasailing with us a unique and exciting experience from the time you book to the time you leave. It brings me great joy to hear how much you enjoyed it. We appreciate you.

AMAZING VIEWS!!
We’ve been parasailing with Sun Dogs for decades, and they’re simply the best in Destin. Gus and Carrie (owners/operators) opened their current location in Destin Harbor (next to AJ’s) in 2009. They run a top-notch operation—friendly, safe, and experienced (over 25 years). With such longevity, their Gulf route lies just west of the jetty, offering unbeatable views of the Gulf, Bay, Destin Harbor and most importantly, the shoreline - offering unparalleled views of the abundant marine life (dolphins, rays, sea turtles and even sharks), which you simply don’t see with newer companies flying further out in the Gulf. Their flights are intimate (6 people max) with generous air time (10–12 mins). The shuttle boat from the harbor is a fun bonus, and parking in AJ’s lot is super convenient. Even their current deckhand (Blake) has been there 6+ years, which shows their consistency and care. Great prices, amazing views, and a personal touch keep us coming back year after year. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Hey Brian and Fam!! I think you guys hold the record for our longest Repeats! We've watched your kids grow up and love it when you guys come every year. I still want your kids to come work for me too, lol! We can't tell you enough how much we appreciate y'all spending time with us every year. I know flying with Sun Dogs is one of the only activities you do on your Destin Vacation and it makes me so proud and happy that we're part of your family vacation and memories. I hope you liked the shirts I sent you. It was just a small token of our appreciation for all the years you've been coming to us. We love you guys!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Destin.
How much does Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Destin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Destin is not rushed.
Is Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Destin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Destin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Destin and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sun Dogs Parasailing Tour in Destin Florida start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Destin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Destin?
+
Destin sells time on the water: pontoon and catamaran charters out of the harbour, dolphin cruises through Choctawhatchee Bay, snorkel trips to Crab Island and deep-sea fishing that leaves before sunrise. On Outty we rank every Destin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Clear Kayaking Eco Adventure Tour in Marianna, Sunset Dolphin Cruise, Top Shelf Tikis Crab Island Adventure 3 hr. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Destin?
+
March to May and September to October, when Gulf water is warm and crowds thin. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Destin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
