The company runs three signature trips: Mackinaw City Parasailing, Mackinac Island Parasailing, and St. Ignace Parasailing. Each flight elevates participants up to 600 feet for panoramic views, with takeoff and landing from the boat so riders generally stay dry unless they choose to get wet.

The experiences provide aerial views of Mackinaw City, the iconic Mackinac Island shoreline, and St. Ignace, delivering a unique perspective of northern Michigan waterways. Reservations are typically organized by trip location, and the company operates from Mackinaw City with routes that reach neighboring islands and coastal points. Safety briefings precede each flight, and passengers are fitted with harnesses designed for comfortable, secure rides.
