Montego Bay Flyboarding & Parasailing Combo — Fly High Watersports

Montego Bay Flyboarding & Parasailing Combo — Fly High Watersports

Pair two skyborne water-sports in one outing: parasail up to 600 feet over Montego Bay, then swap to a flyboard for high‑thrust, Iron Man–style lifts above the sea. Fast, supervised, and suitable for a wide range of ages and fitness levels.

The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a waterproof camera

A small waterproof camera or housing captures both parasail panoramas and flyboard action — operator photos may be limited.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen

The marine park and nearby reefs are sensitive; choose reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply sparingly before launch.

Mind the weight limit

Operators generally can’t accommodate passengers over ~300 lbs — check weight when booking to avoid day‑of disappointment.

Plan for motion

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before pickup; the boat may motor out to deeper water for parasailing.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Evening Luminous Lagoon boat tours for bioluminescence after your watersports day
  • Snorkel patches inside Montego Bay Marine Park just offshore from the launch area

Wildlife

  • Brown pelican
  • Colorful reef fish such as parrotfish

Conservation Note

The Montego Bay Marine Park regulates popular launch and snorkel zones — use reef-safe products, avoid anchoring on coral, and follow operator guidance to reduce impact.

Montego Bay grew from colonial-era ports and plantation trade; today's shoreline blends resort infrastructure with small fishing community roots.
