Above Palm Beach, every day 10:00 to 16:00
Palm Beach, Aruba
Ten minutes above turquoise water, with Palm Beach at your feet. Fly with the local crew that has been parasailing here since 1985.
Parasailing at Palm Beach, Aruba
There is a moment just after the line goes taut when the deck drops away and the noise stops. The wind smooths out, the water turns to glass below you, and the whole west coast arranges itself into a postcard: the high-rises, the pier, the reef shadows moving under the surface. It is the kind of quiet people save for the moments that matter. Cameras never quite catch it; the two of you up there will.
Fly early in your trip. From up there you will spot the coves, the reef lines, and the empty stretches of coast you will want to spend the rest of your week reaching. The island looks different once you have seen it whole.
Three flyers per flight, one boat, seven departures a day. In high season, December to April, the week's calendar fills day by day. If your dates are set, this is the one to lock in before the beach chairs are even chosen. Travelling as a crowd? One booking holds the same time slot for up to 10 of you, and the crew plans the flight order before you even reach the beach. Travelling with more than ten? Write to us and we arrange it with the crew.
Minute by minute
Check-in
Walk out of your hotel and onto the sand. The crew checks your booking, plans the flight order, and the boat is waiting a few steps away.
The ride out
The boat runs the coastline while the crew fits harnesses and life jackets, explaining everything as they go. By the time you are clipped in, the nerves are mostly curiosity.
The lift
Take-off happens from the deck: the line pays out, the deck drops away, and the noise simply stops. No jump, no splash, just up.
Ten minutes
The whole west coast arranges itself below you: the high-rises, the pier, reef shadows moving under glass. The photo you take up here is the one that ends up framed.
The landing
The crew winches you gently back onto the boat. Most flyers are asking about a second flight before their feet touch the deck.
Book your parasail
Pick your date, pick a time, tell the crew who is flying. When the crew's calendar answers, the times shown are their openings with room for your whole group, from two of you to a party of ten, and the one you pick is held for you. Your summary lands in your inbox within minutes with your secure $20 per person deposit link, and your booking is confirmed the moment that deposit is paid. Nothing else is charged on this site. For a larger party, write to us and we arrange it with the crew.

Cancellation policy, in plain words
The same words appear in your booking email. The balance, $50 per person, goes to the crew at the beach and never passes through this site, so a cancellation never involves a balance refund from us. Everything else, including no-shows and how a refund reaches your card, is on our refunds and cancellations page.
What you pay, and when
The balance is settled with the crew on the beach, in US dollars. If you would rather pay by card, say so when you book and we check it with the crew before your date.

From their guests
“I am 73 and I have been trying to do this all my life! So I tried for the first time. The help by the driver and the gentleman who organized the straps were wonderful. I was never nervous but enjoyed every moment.”
“The first mate helped us with the harnesses and life jackets, explaining everything as we went along. The skipper was excellent. The takeoff, flight, and landing were perfect. I highly recommend this crew over the other available options.”
“I am 71 years old and went up for my first time. Very gentle take off and landing on the boat. Staff was friendly and experienced. Highly recommend for any age.”
Real reviews of this exact crew, from their public review page and the Tripadvisor and Google reviews it republishes, read on September 12, 2026. Lightly trimmed for space, never for meaning. We did not record each reviewer's own star rating, so these cards carry the words only, no stars.
The honest fit
We would rather lose a booking than put you on the wrong morning. Read both sides.
How booking works
When the crew’s calendar answers us, the times on this page are the openings it returns, checked while you choose. If the calendar cannot be read, the form says so and asks for a window instead.
Your summary lands within minutes with a secure $20 per person deposit link. That deposit comes out of the $70 rather than on top of it, and your booking is confirmed the moment it is paid.
The remaining $50 per person is paid at the beach, straight to the crew. Your voucher after the deposit carries the meeting point and walking directions.
Cancel 48 hours or more ahead for a full deposit refund, and if the crew cancels for weather you get every cent back, always, or the next good day, your choice. The same words appear in your booking email. What is refundable, and who refunds it.
Good to know
Parasailing with this Palm Beach crew is $70 per person, in US dollars. A $20 per person deposit by email confirms your booking; the remaining $50 per person is settled at the beach with the crew on the day, before you fly. Nothing beyond the deposit is ever charged on this site. If you would rather pay the balance by card, say so when you book and we check it with the crew first.
You are in the air for about 10 minutes within a 45 to 60 minute round trip from the beach, flying up to 400 ft over the coastline. Take-off and landing happen from the boat deck.
Flyers from age 5, with up to 3 people per flight and a combined weight limit of 400 lbs per flight. Tell us ages and rough weights when you book and the crew plans the flights before you arrive.
It is famously gentle. You are seated in a harness the whole time, take-off from the boat deck feels like a slow elevator, and the calm leeward coast with its steady trade winds makes for a smooth, quiet ride. Flyers start at age 5.
When the crew’s own booking calendar answers us, the times on this page are the openings it returns, checked while you pick your date and checked again the moment you book. A time that reads open is held for you there and then, and your secure $20 per person deposit link follows by email within minutes; your booking is confirmed once that deposit is paid. If the calendar cannot be read, the form says so and asks for a window instead, and the crew sets your departure before the deposit link goes out.
Yes. One booking holds the same time slot for up to 10 flyers, and a slot only shows as open when it has room for your whole group. The boat flies up to 3 people per flight, so bigger groups rotate through back-to-back flights; share ages and rough weights when you book and the crew plans the flight order before you arrive. For a party larger than ten, write to us at info@arubaplaybook.com and we arrange it with the crew. Your booking is confirmed once the deposit is paid.
If the crew cancels for weather, your deposit comes back in full, always, or we rebook you on the next good day if you prefer. Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, which is exactly why parasailing runs here nearly every day of the year.
From Palm Beach, in the middle of the hotel strip. Tell us where you are staying and exact walking directions to the meeting point come with the voucher we send once your deposit is paid.
The crew flies up to 3 people at a time with a published limit of 400 lbs combined per flight. Send the ages and rough weights of your group when you book and the crew works out the flight order before you reach the beach.
The sheltered leeward west coast, where the water stays calm and the trade winds are steady. This crew flies off Palm Beach, in the middle of the hotel strip, with take-off and landing from the boat deck rather than the sand. Tell us where you are staying and walking directions to the meeting point come with the voucher we send once your deposit is paid.
For set dates it is worth it. There is one boat and seven departures a day, with three flyers per flight, so a day holds a fixed number of seats rather than an open-ended one. Our form also starts about a day out, so a same-day flight is not something we can arrange from here. Reserving costs nothing either way: you pick a date and time, and the $20 per person deposit link only follows once the crew holds it for you.
Until the deposit is paid there is nothing to cancel. After that: cancel 48 hours or more before the activity and the deposit ($20 per person) comes back in full, to the card you paid it on. Inside 48 hours, and for a no-show, the deposit is not refunded, but the date can move or the booking can transfer to someone else in your group. If the crew calls it off for weather, or the departure does not reach its minimum, every cent of the deposit comes back, always, or we rebook you first if you prefer. The balance, $50 per person, goes to the parasail crew in person at the beach, on the day, before you fly, so it never sits with us and a cancellation never involves a balance refund from this site. All cut-off times are Aruba time (AST, UTC minus 4, the island keeps the same clock all year). The full matrix is on our refunds page.
