Soar above Anna Maria Island and the Gulf Coast, with the option to dip into the water or enjoy an exhilarating free fall.

About this tour

See Anna Maria Island and the Gulf Coast from a fresh perspective on an Anna Maria Island parasailing adventure. Take off above the water and rise into open skies, with views stretching toward Cortez, Florida.

The experience includes gentle takeoffs and smooth landings with an experienced, USCG-licensed crew. While aloft, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the Gulf or an exhilarating free fall. The outing lasts 60 minutes, giving you time to add a memorable aerial view to your island visit.

Plan to arrive 15 minutes before departure, allowing extra time for traffic and the island’s very limited parking. Pickup is from the docks behind Bridge Tender in an orange boat. Public transportation is available nearby. Parasailing is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, those who are pregnant, or people with poor cardiovascular health; it is suitable for all physical fitness levels. Book your Anna Maria Island parasailing adventure and take in the coast from above.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 35 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Sarasota

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 28% in Sarasota means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Sarasota by this score.
