What to bring and how to prepare
Bring an original passport or Emirates ID for every flyer, swimwear or light clothes and sunscreen; leave anything loose that could fall during the flight on the boat, and for photos ask about the GoPro the base rents for AED 150, subject to availability.
- Every flyer needs an original passport or Emirates ID — a physical document, not a copy or a photo on your phone. Bring swimwear or light clothes and sunscreen.
- Flyers must be 15 or older, and the limit is about 150 kg per flight — for a tandem, that is the two flyers' combined weight, so send us both weights when booking. Parasailing is not allowed during pregnancy.
- Meeting point: Umm Suqeim Fishing Harbour (Fishing Harbour 2) on Jumeirah Road, next to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel — not JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence). No hotel pickup; the exact pin comes with the booking. Arrive 20 minutes early: late arrivals are taken only at the base's discretion.
- Each boat trip lasts about an hour and takes 3-4 flights in turn; your own time in the air is 10-12 minutes, and a tandem pair flies together on one flight. Allow about 1.5 hours at the harbour in all.
- There are no free photos or videos on the parasailing boat. A GoPro can be rented for AED 150, subject to availability — ask us when booking.
- The jet ski, flyboard, donut ride and wakeboarding run from the same base and can be combined with the flight on one day, with a 30-minute break between activities.
- Flights depend on wind and sea conditions: if they are not safe, we move your flight to another available slot, and if none fits your dates, we refund your payment in full.
- The Burj Al Arab is closed for restoration until about late 2027, with no fixed reopening date; the flight shows it from the outside, and its sail-shaped exterior stays in view.
- Full prepayment confirms your flight: we agree the time on WhatsApp and send the confirmation after payment.
What shifts by season
Dubai has two seasons that matter for a day out: the cooler months from October to April, when days are warm and evenings pleasant, and the hot summer from May to September, when outdoor stops are best kept short and early or late in the day. It rarely rains; what changes is the heat.
Booking and confirmation — what to send
