Details

Beach Haven Parasail offers a unique vantage point over Beach Haven Bay on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, inviting adventurers to ascend above the Atlantic coastline for an unforgettable parasailing experience. Situated within the heart of the Jersey Shore, Beach Haven’s waters shimmer against a backdrop of sandy beaches and coastal dunes, making it an ideal launch point for those seeking a fresh perspective on this vibrant seaside community.

The voyage begins aboard a friendly, well-equipped boat captained by Bob and Dylan, known for their professionalism and easy-going nature that immediately puts guests at ease. After clear, straightforward safety briefings, participants are gently lifted into the air with a parasail wing, hovering roughly 200 feet above the water. From here, riders witness the contrasting blues of the bay and ocean, the crumbly light sands of Long Beach Island’s shoreline, and emerald marsh islands dotting the Sound. This elevated calm reveals a dimension of the coast most beachgoers never see.

Beyond the thrill of flight, the team prioritizes safety and personalized service, making the trip accessible to first-timers and families alike — including young adventurers as young as 11, who’ve been praised in reviews for their great experiences aboard. A photo package is highly recommended, capturing both candid moments and scenic vistas for lasting memories.

Whether you come for a celebratory outing, a laid-back thrill, or a different vantage point on the Jersey Shore's natural environment, this is a dependable, well-reviewed option that’s both friendly and expert.

If you find yourself in Beach Haven looking for an active, refreshing break from the beach, a parasail flight with this crew delivers an exhilarating and scenic introduction to the region from the sky’s edge.
