Ocean Bay Park Boat Tour

Traversing the calm waters along Fire Island’s southern edge, Fire Island Parasail offers the Ocean Bay Park Boat Tour — a flexible voyage that introduces visitors to the island’s unique coastal communities and its landmark lighthouse. Fire Island is a barrier island off the southern shore of Long Island, New York, known for its natural dunes, maritime forests, and car-free villages that evoke a distinct seaside culture shielded from the bustle of the mainland. This one-hour boat tour comfortably fits up to 10 guests, creating an intimate group experience that mixes relaxation with personalized discovery.

Unlike standard sightseeing cruises, guests are encouraged to bring their own snacks and beverages, control the soundtrack with Bluetooth connectivity, and fine-tune their itinerary to include stops at private docks or less traveled corners. This flexibility means the boat can slip away from the usual routes, offering a closer look at private waterfront homes, serene coves, and the iconic Fire Island Lighthouse, which has stood since 1858 guarding these shores. Fire Island’s barrier beach ecosystem features wind-shaped pine forests, salt marshes, and sweeping ocean views.

The boat will pass Robert Moses Beach, a popular recreational spot where waves crash into the Atlantic, embodying the island’s blend of wild nature and human enjoyment. Fire Island Parasail’s Ocean Bay Park Boat Tour stands out as a refreshingly customizable way to connect with a coastal environment that balances preservation and leisure. It provides a front-row seat to distinctive sights accessible only from the water, highlighting the island’s understated charm and vibrant seaside communities.

Whether local or visiting, this trip invites participants to experience Fire Island’s maritime spirit from a new perspective.
