A Bird’s-Eye View of Paradise
Parasailing over Put-in-Bay is unlike anything else in Ohio. You’ll glide through the air hundreds of feet above Lake Erie, with panoramic views of Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial, passing ferries, bustling marinas, and the lush, green island below.
📸 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to ask about the in-flight photo package. You’ll get 30 action shots and even video clips — the perfect way to relive the moment (and make your friends jealous on Instagram).
📍 Location: Easy to Find, Hard to Miss
You’ll find Put-in-Bay Parasail right beside the Boardwalk Restaurant Complex on Bayview Avenue — a short walk from the Jet Express terminal and close to the main ferry drop-off points. You can’t miss the colorful parachutes floating above the bay!
How It Works
Parasailing may look wild, but it’s actually a safe, beginner-friendly adventure. With Captain Jason Hill and his experienced crew at the helm, you’ll feel confident and well-prepared before takeoff.
Here’s what to expect:

💧 Want a splash? Request a gentle dip in the lake!
☀️ Prefer to stay dry? No problem — just soar above the waves.
⏱️ Flight time is around 10 minutes of pure awe.
You’ll lift off directly from the boat — no swimming, no running — just a smooth rise into the sky.

Stick around for a cocktail or two and watch the sun dip behind Perry’s Monument. Then head into downtown Put-in-Bay where the fun continues at live music venues, tiki bars, and late-night spots.
