Almost every day we see the kids, mom and dad, and a set of grandparents board a KrantzKraft parasailing boat to launch a family adventure. It is safe, fun, and EXHILARATING! We require that you weigh at least 60 pounds and be prepared to smile so much your face hurts.

We’ve Been Taking Families Parasailing Safely Since 1986 Every launch and retrieval takes place from inside a boat custom designed for this activity. Aloft, the views of Oahu are spectacular. Your photos will be stunning!

Higher, Longer and More Awesome Flights are Available Wear a swimsuit! Traditionally, everyone takes a momentary dip in the tropical waters of Maunalua Bay just before landing. Parasailing knows no age! Believe it!
