Experienced team. We have 2 captains with more than 5 years of experience in parasailing between Dubai and different parts of the world. Special boat, designed for parasailing with the engine inside and compartmented and not outside. And the take-off and landing are on the boat and not from/to the sea. 3 different parasails. All are produced in the UK by the best parasail manufacturer in the world. They are inspected daily and replaced regularly. Each parasail is used for a different wind speed. Safety comes first – we do not leave the marina when the wind is even slightly strong. We are lucky to have great weather in Dubai. But in the winter months, we can have up to 5 days a month we cannot fly. We also advise morning flights, as in most coastal cities, the sea is usually calmer in the morning with the wind getting stronger through the day.
