Overview

Parasailing is a MUST DO activity when coming to Ocean City, MD! Come soar hundreds of feet above the Atlantic Ocean with Sea Rocket!

What makes Sea Rocket different in Ocean City:
- We fly the full 800 feet of line allowed by federal regulations — the highest legal altitude for parasailing.
- Our downtown departure point means a shorter cruise to the parasailing grounds, so more of your trip is spent in the air instead of getting there
- Free onsite parking a rarity for a downtown Ocean City activity
- Years of Ocean City operations with thousands of flights logged and a safety-first record

Please keep in mind that our crews are in the local tourism and service industry and rely heavily on gratuity from customers! Our team is here to make sure you'll have an unforgettable and safe adventure on the water! Book now to reserve your spot!

Arrive 30 minutes before your reservation. Boats depart exactly on schedule and cannot wait for late arrivals, so please plan accordingly.

What To Expect

Fly 800 feet above the Ocean City coast for a bird's eye view of the beach, boardwalk, Atlantic Ocean, and Assateague Island with its famous wild ponies. Spot Atlantic bottlenose dolphins swimming in pods below and pelicans cruising the skies alongside you. Each group gets 8 to 10 minutes of flight time, departing every hour from our downtown Ocean City location.

Take off and land smoothly from the back of the boat deck with our hydraulic system (no beach starts, no water jumps). Fly solo, tandem, or triple at one price regardless of altitude. Dip your toes through the waves on the way down, or stay dry the whole flight.

Our US Coast Guard certified captain and crew handle the safety briefing, harness fitting, and all equipment. Up to 10 passengers per boat. Professional photo and GoPro video packages are available for purchase onboard to capture your flight.

Please note: total trip duration includes the cruise out, all group flights, and the cruise back.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
