Parasailing grants the power of flight to those of us without wings. The experienced staff at Chute 'Em Up Parasail in Port Aransas has over two decades of experience taking even the most earthbound humans high above the waters of the Coastal Bend.

While soaring with the birds, flyers ascend to heights of over 300 feet above the Gulf of Mexico and the Lydia Ann Channel.

Parasailers have reported spotting schools of dolphins jumping beneath them. You'll also see spectacular views of the Aransas Pass Lighthouse and the USS Worthington, not to mention the coastline.

Parasailing with the experts

The parasailing experts at Chute 'Em Up Parasail promise that, on especially beautiful days, a flyer can see the mystery shipwreck discovered by their own Captain Bryan Evans in the Lydia Ann Channel.

The flight lasts around 10 minutes and costs $89 per flyer. For $20, you can get photos of your flight on an SD card. Come glide with the gulls over the Gulf for the experience of a lifetime! For more information or to book a reservation, visit the Chute 'Em Up Parasail website.
