“My family and I just went today for me and my brother’s birthday. It was so fun! I was scared at first but the guys there made sure we were safe and had a great time. Being up that high was amazing because you could see everything in the distance and some sea life! They were very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas, gave us a lot of info about the real estate and restaurants. I would definitely recommend booking with them if you’re thinking about parasailing! I’d love to go again too.”

“Our parasailing experience with Sea Rocket Fort Lauderdale was absolutely incredible! Huge thank you to Mike and Ashton for making it such a fun, safe, and unforgettable adventure. They were professional, energetic, and made us feel completely comfortable from start to finish. The views were breathtaking, the ride was smooth and exciting, and the entire experience was perfectly run. Mike and Ashton really know how to create an amazing vibe and make you feel confident and excited. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip—highly recommend Sea Rocket to anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale!”

“Was great! The two tour guides were serious about safety first but able to make the entire experience a blast. We had two kids, 10 & 7. Theres a bit of anxiety, but taking flight, as well as being up so high, was remarkabley a smooth event and not at all scary once it happened. Landing was smooth. Would highly recommend!”
