Fly High: Parasailing on St. Croix
See the island of St. Croix from an entirely new perspective with a thrilling parasailing trip high above the Caribbean Sea. Soar hundreds of feet over turquoise waters during an exhilarating excursion featuring panoramic views of the Christiansted Harbor, shimmery beaches and lush cays you won’t soon forget.
St. Croix Parasailing
For an amazing aerial experience on St. Croix, schedule an excursion with Parasail Virgin Islands, operated in partnership with Caribbean Sea Adventures. St. Croix trips depart from the Christiansted Boardwalk, where you’ll step onto a boat built specifically for parasailing. After a brief safety orientation, the experienced crew handles the launch and landing directly from the back of the boat, making St. Croix parasailing easy for first-time flyers.
Once you’re airborne and parasailing about 500 feet above the sparkling waters, sit back and enjoy the ride. Take in the sweeping views of Christiansted Harbor, the island’s colorful coastline and the brilliant blue, remarkably clear Caribbean waters. Keep an eye out for pods of dolphins, swimming sea turtles and the outlines of vibrant coral reefs.
Unlike many thrill-seeking activities, parasailing offers a surprisingly peaceful ride as you glide high above the water, making it a favorite for couples, families and anyone looking to explore St. Croix from a different vantage point. Riders can fly solo or — depending on weather conditions and combined weight — share the experience with other passengers on a tandem or triple flight.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply adding a memorable activity to your island vacation, St. Croix parasailing is a spectacular way to appreciate the island’s beauty.
