Located on Florida’s sun-drenched Gulf Coast, Siesta Key serves as a playground of turquoise waters and sweeping white sand beaches just off Sarasota. Parasail Siesta has carved out a distinctive niche here, inviting visitors to connect with the marine landscape through spirited daytime and sunset tiki boat tours, alongside unforgettable parasailing escapades.
Siesta Key’s shallow bays and tranquil waters provide an ideal setting for the vibrant tiki boats that ferry guests across shimmering coves lined with seagrass beds and salt marshes. These tours unfold at a relaxed pace, offering ample opportunities to spot dolphins slicing through the water, and seabirds diving overhead. The highlight at sunset is the fiery sky casting hues over the water, a painterly end to a day on the water.
Parasail Siesta’s parasailing excursions bring guests to a different vantage, elevating the experience with panoramic views of Siesta Key’s barrier islands, the long mainland coastline, and the occasional dolphin pod that often plays just beyond the boat’s wake. The expert crew, including Captain Mark, Josh, Tyler, and Yanni, are consistently praised for their professionalism, safety-first approach, and infectious positive energy — making every flight a confidence-building adventure.
In addition to guided tours, Parasail Siesta offers golf cart rentals, allowing visitors to navigate the island’s laid-back streets and find hidden beaches or local dining spots post-trip. Whether you’re drawn by skyward thrills or peaceful water rides, this company provides a deeply engaging way to experience Siesta Key’s coastal charm. Their commitment to thoughtful service and memorable encounters with marine life makes them a standout in Florida’s active outdoor scene.
