I was extremely disappointed. We arrived expecting a fun family beach experience, but the beach had an official Florida Department of Health advisory warning of high bacteria levels and recommending no water contact due to health risks. The beach smelled bad, was covered in seaweed, and nobody was enjoying the water. The staff at the booth said it was “safe,” despite the warning, and also informed us that my son wouldn’t be able to participate in any of the activities and would only be able to watch. This was never made clear before booking. We paid for a beach and water sports experience that could not be safely enjoyed. I cannot recommend this experience unless the operator is transparent about current beach conditions and health advisories.

We had an awesome time, the crew made the activities fun and it was an overall great day. Highly recommend using them if you’re going to Key West.
Not enough to do & workers didn’t seem to care. Rescheduled parasailing 3 times-3 taxis to & from & still not get to parasailing
I would recommend this adventure for anyone who wants to do it all. We were able to parasail, snorkel, kayak, jet ski, and ride the banana boat. The staff were professional, fun, and kept us entertained. It was well worth the money.
My family enjoyed the hobby cat, parasailing, raft, paddleboards and donut float. I was not able to enjoy the parasailing because there was a large, dead tarpon on the shore, while we waited for half an hour for the boat. I got too nauseous. However, the hobby cat was so fun that my family took it out twice. I loved lounging in a donut and snorkeling. My daughter enjoyed paddleboarding for the first time! Overall, it was a nice day!
We reserved an ocean front cabana. We got to the resort at 10am and checked in at the main lobby. We were told to go to the pool/beach area to check in for the cabana. When we got there no one knew where we were to go or even which one was our cabana. By 11am we finally could talk to a bartender who told us where to go and that our server would be there shortly. Our server never came to our cabana to check in on us or ask if we needed anything. We had to order our lunch and food from the bar and it was eventually delivered to us. The service was very poor especially since we paid over $300 for a special cabana. In the picture it showed a fan in the cabana and there wasn't one, so it was very hot and stuffy. We ended up sitting on the long pier and hardly used the cabana. I would not recommend spending the money on one, when there are so many other free sitting options.
The parasail itself was excellent - the staff did a great job and took some really fun pictures of the group and the view of Key West during the parasail was awesome. However, I wish I had just booked it alone without the full beach pass. Hobie Kat was not an option if you didn't have prior sailing experience. The rest was largely unavailable most of the day as it was in use. We did get chairs which was nice but could have gotten for way less than the full beach pass. The beach was full of Portuguese man o' war so it was difficult to get to do much in the water.
Not anyone's fault, but entire experience was canceled without notice after driving 4 hours to get to the experience. Not happy about it
The ultimate beach pass with parasailing was a great treat for our entire family. We had a wonderful time on the beautiful Smathers Beach with access to the kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, chairs & umbrellas and hobie cat small sailboats. However, it’s important you know two things. First, you must either already have experience to take out the hobie cat or pay more for a lesson otherwise you won’t be able to use them even though you pay for it originally as part of your package. If you flip the sail boat and the employees need to come help you it will costs you another $50 each time. Second, in order to use any of the other equipment I listed above, you’ll need to leave a credit card with the attendants as a security measure to make sure you don’t run off or damage their equipment. Our absolute favorite part of the day was the parasailing because the experience was so incredible. The captain of the boat and his assistant were simply awesome at all levels and explained everything so well that it took all possible fear of doing it out of the equation. Don’t miss the opportunity of doing this activity or you’ll regret it. Lastly, I met one of the owner’s of the company and learned that he is an awesome guy who REALLY cares about customer service and the overall experience his company sets out to provide his clients and been doing so for over 40 years now. Thank you Richard for making sure everything worked out as planned during our short two day family visit. We’ll see you again in October for more fun in the sun and paradise called Key West, FL.
My family and I had a wonderful experience. The guys that took us for the parasailing were so nice. We highly recommend them.
The parasailing was so calming and gorgeous! The guys made it so fun and such a happy experience! They made you feel welcomed and encouraged so much fun!
Our two teenage sons went parasailing and had a blast. We would definitely recommend using Sunset Watersports. We used them to go snorkeling and jet skiing as well. All trips were first class
My wife and I really enjoyed our experience with Sunset Watersports, they really went above and beyond to meet our expectations. We got the beach pass which is great because you can do all water sport activities on the beach which includes a sail boat, Kayaks, paddle board, and tubes, and also included when not on the water you can relax on the beach with shade because the pass comes with 2 chairs and umbrella for the day. We also took advantage of doing parasailing with Sunset Watersports that was a great experience and the crew was very efficient and knowledgeable when getting everyone ready and relying information. The pictures were also great during the parasailing. Lastly I really want to point out an employee that really stood out to us and really contributed to our amazing experience, that is John. John got us squared away with booking everything and getting all the paperwork filled out and then went on to getting us set up with chairs and umbrella, but what really stood out and meant the most is that he would have conversations with us that made us feel welcomed and would periodically check up on us to see if we need anything or any help with the Watersports equipment, and not just with us he was constantly moving and organizing equipment for customers we really admired his hard work ethic.
If you're in Key West, don't miss the chance to go parasailing with Sunset Watersports at Smathers Beach. I went with Ty and Brody, who were not only professional and focused on safety, but also incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. They shared great tips and stories about the area, adding a personal touch that was much appreciated. The equipment was top-notch, and the safety protocols were clearly explained, giving us confidence as we soared above the stunning Key West waters. The views were phenomenal—definitely a must-do for thrill-seekers and anyone looking to see the island from a new perspective. Thank you, Ty and Brody, for an adventure I'll always remember!
Best day ever!!! This was our first time Parasailing and Captain Marty and Davey made the experience so much fun. It was a thrilling ride with a dip in the ocean! The photos they took were high quality and reasonably priced! While we were up in the air, we decided that we need to do this every time we visit and hope that Marty and Davey are here to take us up! Thanks!!
The downtown area was terribly crowded with cruise passengers in port, as well as hundreds of others. Parking was a nightmare, and as there are few other ways to get to Key West, it is ridiculous not to have some planning for the number of visitors who come by car. Parking rates at the several city lots, and all along most streets varies by day and time, and is an absurd system. The most hours you can purchase is 10, yet the system is in force for 12! Some lots charge $5 an hour one day, $13 an hour the next, with a two hour minimum and a 10 1/2 % fee on top. Lines at the most popular tourist sights are long. No benches in most places. A real problem for people who can’t walk or stand for many hours at a time. Have been to Key West in the past, and disappointed to discover that over-tourism has ruined the “vibe”, and the distinctly different pleasures that once were there. Food even at the so-called best restaurants is mediocre. At the standard fare places, really pretty bad.
Great experience with my significant other, can’t wait to come back and do it again. The staff were amazing. Very Fri and professional.
The guys working there especially Shy were really friendly. They helped us with the cataterman and paddle boards
Was not able to enjoy due to cancellation because of the weather. The weather was rainy and windy. Unable to parasail or use water toys.
An experience to remember!! John & Shy, thank you for your friendly expertise and getting us settled with all of our watercraft and beach chairs. You both are such a great team together. Shy, thank you for the sailing instruction. We handled the Hobie like a boss after you took the time to teach us the ropes... err, sheets. Wayne & Cody, thank you for a personalized parasailing experience. We saw the southern-Southern most point of Key West at what seemed was the height of the naval planes passing by. It was thrilling and your instructions and prep were professional and fun. You both are also a great team that synergized together. We are returning Key West Conchs and the amazing teams at Sunset Watersports on Smathers Beach gave us a proper welcome home. Thank you all for the unforgettable experiences!!! //The Real McCoys
Captain Will and crew were awesome.Had a great time. Very patience and friendly. Had a good time. Highly recommended.
The experience was wonderful! The only thing when we were doing that parasailing the guy who was putting on the equipment was rude with my family bc we were a big group and we changed decisions about who was doing the rides, the rest of the staff was amazing.
Butterfly place was amazing hippie store was amazing double tree was amazing sonic was amazing rent a car was amazing
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to use all of the "toys" at the beach. The day we went it was windy so we were not sure that we would be able to parasail. The gentleman in the hut was very helpful. The wind ended up dying down so we were able to parasail. All around great experience. Worth the money!!
Not returned to Les Menuires since 2019 what a surprise the multi-activity card disappeared replace with the ascent pass that gives access to nothing everything is charged at gold price an access to the mass bill 21.6 euros per person we took the ascent pass with swimming pool and welness but in Saint Martin de Belleville you do not have access to welness it's great nonsense if you think to revive mountain tourism in the summer with this policy of prices change profession
To be recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff. Costs a bit but price / quality is definitely right. You go to sea with a large group (+-80 men) but you do the activities in small groups (+- 8 men). Lunch on board is provided and provides variety. Soft drinks and water à volonté
It was great in one word. Good guidance. We felt at ease. We found it quite exciting, but the boys reassured us.
