terrible service

Mike a disgusting captain never again will I book as long as he’s there. My 2pm boat left at 1:50 when I arrived instead of two like they said. Trying to find it when Mike was extremely rude talking to me like he knows me and I’m not a customer?? Disgusting

Disappointed that ad didn’t say observer more clearly

Viator lists this experience as parasailing with a description of the parasailing experience. However, the listing was actually as an observer in the boat. We had to pay cash at the boat to actually parasail. I don’t know if this listing mistake is by viator or by the boat company but it is upsetting that there wasn’t more clarity in the listing.

Operator response

Hi, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry for the confusion surrounding the booking and understand how frustrating that must have been. We want our guests to have clear expectations when booking and will look into the listing to make sure the ticket options are communicated as clearly as possible. We hope you were still able to enjoy your time out on the water with us!

Don’t recommend, they will take payment while knowing their service is unavailable.

Despite having known their boats had been under maintenance since I booked, they called only one hour before my appointment to tell me they would need to reschedule to the following week. I was leaving the following day. They said I would receive a refund, but they did not know when I would get it. I’ve only been getting notifications to rate my experience ever since.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback, and we're very sorry for the inconvenience. We understand how frustrating it is to have your parasailing experience canceled, especially when you're visiting from out of town. Guest safety is always our top priority, and occasionally unexpected maintenance or operational issues require us to cancel or reschedule trips. We sincerely apologize that we weren't able to get you out on the water during your visit. If you have any questions about your refund, please don't hesitate to contact us directly, and our team will be happy to assist you. We appreciate your patience and hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Unreliable service

Booking was cancelled twice, supposedly due to boat maintenance. If the boat was unavailable for service, we should have been advised much earlier and the company should have made every effort to find us another booking. I can't believe they have only one boat. Unacceptable.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the cancellations. We understand how disappointing this was. Guest safety is always our top priority, and when unexpected maintenance is required, we occasionally have to make difficult scheduling changes. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our communication and guest experience.
