Lift off from Madeira Beach for a brief, elevated view of Clearwater Bay and the Pinellas coastline. This easy parasail flight places riders hundreds of feet above calm Gulf waters for 10–12 minutes of quiet, panoramic sky time.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat cuts through Gulf waters as the wind rearranges the surface into bright, moving light; the parasail answers with a patient tug and, suddenly, you’re airborne. From a few hundred feet up, the Pinellas coastline opens like a coastal map: the long sweep of sand, the narrow ribbons of mangrove, and boats that shrink to toys.
