Are you ready for parasailing in Albufeira?

Parasailing in Albufeira gives you the unique feeling of flying. The experience of parasailing Albufeira only lasts approximately 10 minutes but you will remember it for the rest of your life! You will experience a very special sensation of free-flying above the Atlantic!

From the Marina of Albufeira, we’ll get on our parasailing boat and reach a spot where the conditions are best. The location for parasailing in Albufeira depends on the wind and wave directions and intensities. You will start by ascending our parasailing (individual, double or triple) by the platform on the stern of the vessel, safely and without getting wet, until the maximum height of 80 meters. Do you dare? 

Our special parasailing-boats takes up to 12 passengers, along with our certified crew. Children are welcome to fly from 3 years old. If you'd like to join this exciting experience without flying, you can book the special "spectator price" and take some incredible pictures! The whole experience can take up to 1,5hours, depending on how many people there are on board to fly.

This parasailing experience in Albufeira provides a privileged view of the city and the coastline. While in the air during your parasailing Albufeira experience, you can enjoy an absolute silence and an extraordinary moment of peace and tranquillity. After about 10 minutes, slowly you will start descending. If you want to, you will have the opportunity of touching the water prior to landing back on the platform on the boat.

FAQ Parasailing

What should I wear when parasailing?

All you need is your bathing suit. And don’t forget sunscreen. For girls, it’s recommended to use a ponytail. For after the experience, you might want to have a towel and some dry/warm clothes.

Will I get wet when parasailing? Do you land in the water when parasailing?

No, you don't have to get wet if you don't want to. You take off and land smoothly right from the platform on the boat. The captain will slow the boat down and you will gently freefall, dipping your feet in the water for a refreshing splash, only if you want to, as you can choose to land on the platform.
