Several combo packages pair parasailing with complimentary cruises on the Sea Rocket for a mixed day of excitement and relaxation. Seasonal offerings include the Sea Rocket Christmas Holiday Mansion Lights Tour and 4th of July fireworks cruises, with both public sailings and private-party options. The private 4th of July party option operates from a 12-passenger parasail boat and allows BYOB for small-group celebrations.
