Fort Lauderdale FAQ

We are located at the famous Bahia Mar Resort & Marina at 801 Seabreeze Blvd on Fort Lauderdale beach. All parasailing tours depart from A-Dock just north of the brand new Marina Village. All boat cruises (speed boat tours, sunset cruises, nighttime cruises, and specialty events) depart from C-Dock just west of Marina Village. Look for the red, white, and blue flags flying on the pier and the huge American flag boat!

We recommend parking in the Bahia Mar Hotel parking lot (approximately $10). Fort Lauderdale Beach municipal parking, valet parking, and rideshare drop-off are also available at the marina.

Please arrive at least 25-30 minutes before your scheduled departure. This gives you time to check in, sign waivers, use the restroom, and board comfortably. Trips depart promptly at the scheduled time!

Yes! Our Sea Rocket Fort Lauderdale adventures run year-round. We operate in all seasons with daily departures for parasailing and boat cruises. Check out our seasonal offerings & specialty cruises!

Our prices are available in our booking menu. Please note that prices are subject to change. With our advance booking program, the further ahead you book your trip, the more you can save! We also offer combo packages that bundle multiple activities for significant discounts.

All sales are final unless trip protection is purchased at checkout. Trip protection allows for refunds if the trip is canceled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Guests who opt out of trip protection may reschedule or receive credit valid indefinitely. Bookings made 10+ days in advance receive free trip protection!

Gratuity is not included with the cost of your trip. Our captains and crew are in the service industry and rely heavily on gratuity. We recommend 20% or more. If your captain and crew helped you have a great trip, be sure to thank them!

You must be at least 5 years old to go on the boat or in the air. There is a minimum weight of 100 pounds for single riders and a maximum combined weight limit of 475 pounds per flight. We reserve the right to make judgment calls based on passenger weight for your safety!

Parasailing adventures last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes or less depending on how many people are aboard. Each flight goes up for 8-10 minutes. Parasailing trips run every two hours throughout the day.

Parasailing is highly regulated by the FAA. Parasail operators can let out up to 800 feet of line but have a legal ceiling of operating at 400 feet above sea level. Your actual height depends on conditions and flight preferences!

Parasailing is not recommended for pregnant guests due to the rough boat ride to and from the parasailing location. The boat travels through ocean waves which can create a bumpy experience. However, please consult with your doctor if you have questions about participating. We prioritize your safety and the safety of your baby!

You can choose! We offer standard flights (where you stay dry) or dip options (where we dip you in the ocean at the end of your flight). Let our crew know your preference!

Bring a small bag for sunscreen, sunglasses, a bottle of water, and your phone and wallet. Wear comfortable clothing or swimwear. Your footwear will be removed before boarding. You may want to bring a towel if you choose the dip option!

Yes, you may use your phone or camera aboard during your trip. Sea Rocket is not responsible for lost or damaged goods. We also offer professional photo packages that capture your entire flight!
