It was my first time parasailing and I never thought that I would do it, even at 61. And it ended up as the ride of a lifetime. I was nervous, of course, along with a couple of others on the boat, but Desmond and Captain Lee were awesome to put everyone at ease. Terrific professionalism. Great guys, a great view, and a great memorable experience. I would definitely do that again and think everyone should try it. Many thanks. You all are awesome and I will highly recommend to all.

We had an absolute blast with these guys! Jeff and Sal were absolutely amazing. I booked a parasailing trip for my son and his girlfriend and bestfriend and they said it was by far the best thing theyve done on the entire vacation. I purchased the add on photo package and it was TOTALLY worth it.. I would definitely suggest this activity and this team specifically!

I had a genuinely great time. The boat was a little tighter than I expected, but not tight enough to take away from the experience. The employees were funny, lively, and memorable. The boat ride was fun and refreshing, and the parasailing was amazing. The world is quiet, vivid, and vast from the sky. Overall a very worthwhile experience, especially if you are willing to get a little wet.

Loved, loved the experience. My first time flying and will definitely do it away. The boat crew was AMAZING!! JJ AND Jeff are great. LOVE the sense of humor. Made my nerves go again. The view, was amazing as well and worth the price of the trip. Thank you so much for the experience!!! I will definitely request to ride again with JJ and Jeff.

The crew were awesome! Captain was cool. Had so much fun. Prices were very reasonable. My only suggestion would be a little less people so there would be more room and probably would make more in tips. But we had a blast but I know people were complaining about not catching as much as we did.... but their attitudes was probably what repelled the fish. we will definitely be going again. With the same group.

I decided to parasail for the first time for my birthday and it was AMAZING! I was really scared but the guys were great. They made us feel comfortable. Even the other passengers were great, it was an overall good vibe and great experience.

My family and I were visiting for the day and finally decided on doing this. One of the best, one of a kind time. The boat crew JJ and Jeff are wonderful crew and staff on land clearly knew what they were doing and made it a priority to keep my family safe, all while providing a fun experience. The view was gorgeous, and they listened when we told them not to dip in water. ....

J J and Jeff were Great ! Very professional, entertaining and made sure every one had a good time ! I would highly recommend this company and these two guys for a great experience of floating 400 feet in the air. And they both looked like they enjoyed their work. PS I hope you get that drum set, have a great day and thanks for a great time.

It was so simple to get this booked, and very affordable. Jeff and Sal are great! Very professional and safe. There is a little rotating around the boat so be ready for that. Directions were very clear and easy to follow. We laughed the whole time! So much fun! Will be back

So many thrills await you at Pelican Adventures. Customer service is excellent when you call to make your reservation. The parasailing was awesome! Salvador made sure we were safe and knowledgeable. The boat captain is vetted, friendly and very professional. I would definitely recommend Pelican Adventures for your extreme marine sports/dolphin sights bucket list!

We just got back from spending a day fishing on the Vera Marie. We are tired, slightly sunburned, and super satisfied with the memories we created today. Everyone was in excellent spirits and the crew was supremely comfortable to be around. They were truly happy to help us with our fish and tangled lines and made an extra effort to make our seasick passenger as comfortable as possible. I cant say enough good things about this experience. A special shout out to Kendall...your heart is in your work and it shows!

Great Time FishingCaptain Dew was fantastic and worked really hard to put us on fish. This is the 5th time we have fished with Pelican Adventures and we are loyal customers as we have had great experiences each time we have been out fishing with them. Highlight of the day was a 9 foot shark that our boys loved catching. And the grouper and red snapper were fantastic eating.

This is my 4th year to fly high with Pelican Adventures. On my first flight, Jeff was the deck hand. The following year and every year thereafter he was the captain. Jeff and his current deck hand (JD) are just the best. They know how to treat everyone and make certain all are always safe and happy. Lets know forget the staff booking the trip. Very friendly, informative and ready answer all questions. Will be back same time next year.

Jeff and JJ were awesome, friendly and everyone on the boat had a good time! They were down to earth and made us feel comfortable. There is no experience like parasailing and the quietness up there!! We went on a girls trip and Im a nurse that needed a good “Covid free getaway” and it was awesome. Will definitely go back!

I took my 8 year old son on a shared charter with Pelican. He had the time of his life and caught so many fish. The deck hands were so helpful and his best buds. We came home with so much fish, it was incredible. The boat is pretty worn and beat up on the inside but the outside is in good shape and where we spent majority of the time. Cannot wait for our next trip down.

Review №28

We went on a 6 hour trip on the Vera Marie. The crew were nice and helpful. The boat was pretty much spotless inside and out. They have snacks and drinks on board that you can buy. We had an okay time. We caught fish but not as many as we would of if we couldve went to their regular spots. That is what a crew member said. It was two hours there and two hours back. You ride more than you fish. We do think it was a little overpriced given the circumstances. Not as many fish and a very rough and long ride.

Absolutely amazing experience with this awesome company! Me and my husband booked a parasailing trio with Captain Jeff, and Salvador - and it was definitely such an incredible highlight and memory. Jeff was a real character, he had us laughing so much, Sal was so extremely kind and they both worked so hard to make sure we had the best experience. We could not rate this experience enough, we can’t wait to come back and do it all over again! Thanks Jeff, Sal and the girls who helped with our booking! Love Katy (from the UK) and Bryant xx

Review №32

Awesome time aboard the Good Times. The captain and crew were friendly and informative and made the fishing trip most enjoyable. The captain knew where the fish were and EVERYBODY on the boat caught fish. He even stopped the boat in the middle of the Gulf when he spotted a school of mahi-mahi and urged us to cast into the school, which we did and we caught many. After the trip, the crew gave us a fish-cleaning demonstration as they cleaned our catch of red snapper and mahi-mahi to take home and eat. A most enjoyable adventure that I WILL definitely do again.

I sent my boyfriend and our sons on good Times Wednesday morning. I am not sure the crews names or the fish they caught, I just know that our boys ages 11 and 15 loved every minute of it. My 15-year-old said this was the best time of his life. The crew seemed exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. Even though we had a six hour schedule it seem to fly by because it was so fun. Thanks so much!

Review №43

I didn’t give this a 5 star because we spent a good amount of time tangled with others. There also wasn’t many keepers but we did have fish on almost every time we dropped our line. People I guess who were maybe frequent guests crowded the seating areas and I had to stand most of the trip. Got really tired. We had fun overall but may not go again.

Took my daughters on the para sail 8/22/20 and actually found very different from my research or expectations. I was told by the sales girl the trip is about hour & half. The para sail was $140. At end of trip one guy told me because I was a veteran the memory card was $25, fine so I figured $20 tip for the girls (I was ride along) and $25 for the card= $45. Since the only thing I had was 20s I handed him $60 and he just kept going, no chance to ask for $15 change nothing. TOTAL COST $200 for 10 minutes or so ride. The boat was very overcrowded with 12 persons packed in like sardines. Very uncomfortable and rotating around the boat.The guys were entertaining, but watching 10 other people for an hour & 20 minutes was not worth it.I would suggest to anyone considering these entertainment venues to do diligence research and also ask questions at the venue to determine if the bang is worth the buckThis has nothing to do with ATTITUDE as some have stated, my family was extremely excited and looking forward to experience this.

I took my wife and three daughters snorkeling for the first time on the two stop trip and it was great. The first stop was a little murky do to the tropical storm that came through the day before (not Pelicans fault) but the second stop did not disappoint. We were able to collect several cool shells and see a lot of small marine life. The crew was fantastic and I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you have small children.

Review №88

Crew was very nice and helpful. We took a 6 hour charter and we did catch fish. Our problem was that we spent a very long time driving, over half of the trip. We barely fished at all and this was disappointing seeing that we could have stayed closer to the docks and had more time to fish. The wind was a factor in our day but that doesnt mean we had to ride 1 1/2 hours down the coast just to catch a few snapper. Overall a nice day but dissapointed that we paid for a long boat ride.
