I had a great time parasailing around Hilton Head Island. It was nice to see the Harbor town light house from the sky. I would recommend this adventure to everyone. It is very calm and peaceful.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! The captain was unprofessional and demonstrated no management or leadership skills. He was extremely rude.and appeared to be impaired. His interest was with three women which he seated behind him. We were out on the water with him and two young inexperienced crew mates which he treated like crap. He was yelling and belittling them. It was evident the man wasn’t interested in his job. The crew was inexperienced but that’s not place to be screaming at your crew. The captain didn’t pay attention to when a crew mate told him to back up when he was attempting to dock causing the ship to crash in the side of the parasailing boat. He had a difficult time docking this vessel. There was absolutely no interaction with the others on the boat from the captain. Also, those with back injuries need warning of the lack adequate seating. This is TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!

Our guide was great. Chose this company because the boat was smaller than some others which gave us a great intimate experience. Enjoyed more than a 50 person trip.
