5.00Highly recommend! We had a lot of fun and the service was great. From our 70 year old Nana to our 16 year old daughter we all had the best time. This is great for the whole family to experience and do together. We greatly appreciate how accommodating the crew was and the follow up email with places to eat after was a nice touch.

5.00Pick Sea Rocket Parasail!! Jared and Matt provided our family with an unforgettable adventure! Friendly and welcoming from our first minute together all the way through to the last! We brought 2 observers and 5 ‘flyers’ on this trip. I needed help getting from the dock to the boat and Matt & Jared were incredibly patient and helpful. There was ample space to seat all of the passengers and I was surprised that the ride was not rough! Matt is efficient and polite and was quick to get everyone ready to fly while Jared drove us out into the ocean! We saw dolphins near their dock and out in the channel as well. When it was time to fly Matt & Jared were the perfect pair getting guests connected and ready to fly. *Be sure to buy their photo package!* WORTH IT! Professional grade photos with a few surprises- AND Matt uploads them to your camera roll BEFORE you return to the dock! Could that get better? YES! These 2 gracious hosts hand you a GoPro to bring up while you fly! That video gets uploaded right away too! While out in the ocean we saw a school of rays and bonnet sharks while up in the sky! Your time parasailing is just right- not too short by any means. Our family will absolutely book a trip with Sea Rocket on our next trip to Anna Maria!

5.00The guys were great! From start to finish it was a good time and a great memory from the girls trip! We also chose to do the $75 GO Pro and picture package and we were not disappointed!! The pics and videos were amazing and the commentary from us while recording was a good laugh to go back and watch.
