Parasailing off the Atlantic City shore is a short, high-altitude way to redraw your relationship with the city: takeoff from a launch boat, climb into the harness and spend 12–15 minutes suspended over the ocean, with a clear line to the skyline that few other activities can match. This operator runs tandem flights as the norm—though solo flights are available—and bills the experience as the only parasailing option in Atlantic City, offering a perspective on the city that’s otherwise available only by helicopter.

THE VIEW

A skyline seen from a new angle

Parasail flights offer a view of Atlantic City’s skyline that the operator positions as unique on the local scene—an aerial vantage point distinct from anything else available in town.

Short but guaranteed airtime

When you fly tandem you are guaranteed 12–15 minutes in the air; the full outing from embarkation through return can include a boat ride that lasts up to 90 minutes.

Atlantic City Parasail: the local option

Atlantic City Parasail operates the service in town; most flights are run tandem but solo flights are offered as an alternative.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Expect a brief boat passage and then a concentrated burst of altitude: most customers fly tandem and are guaranteed 12–15 minutes airborne, while the entire excursion—boarding, cruising and the flight—can involve up to 90 minutes on the water. You can choose a shared tandem harness or opt to fly solo; either way the core of the experience is that uninterrupted span above the ocean looking back at Atlantic City.
