Parasailing

Parasailing is a sport that developed in the early 80s; you basically use a parasail pulled by a motorboat. The motorboat's speed lets the passenger effortlessly raise up to the desired height after being appropriately harnessed.

Parasailing is becoming more and more popular in Lignano. In fact, many beach centres organise boat trips to let tourists experience the thrill of seeing Lignano Sabbiadoro from above with the wind in their sails, all while being pulled by a boat.

When you rise up into the air with a parachute you get a great adrenaline rush which quickly turns into delight and surprise when you are suspended in air. While anchored to a boat, you are gently pulled into the sky off the coast of Lignano to admire the breathtaking view of the entire Riviera from above.

When you watch parasailing from below, it may seem like a sport that is only suited to those who are strong and brave, but parasailing is an activity suitable for anyone and for all ages. Indeed, no specific physical abilities are required for parasailing, especially since it is the force of the air that does everything while you comfortably sit, safely harnessed, taking it all in.

Once you rise up into the air, you are led to a height ranging from 35 to 100 metres above sea level. From up there everything will seem small and far away, where you don’t hear the noise of the beach and the city.

The rise and descent take place directly on the back of the boat. You can parasail alone or in pairs.
