About Chute The Breeze
Chute The Breeze runs parasailing flights out of Treasure Island Marina on Thomas Drive, lifting riders hundreds of feet above the emerald water where the Grand Lagoon meets the Gulf. Boats depart every hour on the hour through the day, a cadence that keeps waits short in peak season and makes it easy to slot a flight between beach time and dinner at the marina restaurants next door.
Flights accommodate single, tandem, and triple riders, so couples and parents with kids can go up together rather than taking turns. US Coast Guard licensed captains run every trip, equipment is inspected daily, and takeoffs and landings happen gently from the boat's rear platform — no running starts and no beach launches. Observers can ride along for a small fee, which suits grandparents and photographers who want the boat trip without the altitude.
The view is the product: from full height, riders look down the length of Shell Island, across St. Andrews State Park, and out over water clear enough to spot dolphins and rays moving below. The crew's patient, first-timer-friendly briefings have earned the operation a strong reputation with nervous flyers, and the marina departure means calm loading conditions even when the Gulf-front beaches are choppy.
