What the Flight Feels Like

You board from the Miami Beach Marina, strap into a harness with your partner or group, and the boat eases offshore until the chute fills and you lift free of the deck—then you glide above the glittering Atlantic, buoyant and steady, before an optional splash back into the water and a gentle return to the vessel.
