Parasail boats leave either right from the beach in Gulf Shores or from marinas in Orange Beach. Published prices start around $85 per flyer. You'll be in the air for six to ten minutes of a 30- to 60-minute boat trip, and most operators fly two or three people together, within a combined weight limit.
