The winch boat slips away from the shoreline, the Mediterranean humming beneath you and a parachute blooming above like a slow, obedient creature. In moments the harness tightens, the rope sings taut, and Fuengirola falls away — white sand, blue water, and the long curve of the promenade shrinking beneath a skyline capped by the snow-dusted Sierra Nevada.

Check weight limits
If flying with others, confirm the combined weight limit (200kg for 2–3 people) before booking to avoid extra charges or missed flights.
Time your flight for calmer seas
Morning or late-afternoon slots typically have lighter winds and smoother water, which makes for steadier takeoffs and better photos.
Protect your electronics
Use a secure lanyard or waterproof pouch for phones and cameras — loose items can be lost or damaged during takeoff and landing.
Listen to the crew
Crews run a short but critical safety briefing and will cancel flights in unsafe conditions; follow their instructions for boarding and harnessing.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
High sun exposure at altitude and reflected light from the sea make sunscreen essential.
