About Siesta Key Watersports
Siesta Key Watersports runs one of the busiest on-the-water operations in the Sarasota area, launching parasailing flights, jet ski rentals, and boat trips from its base at 5253 S Tamiami Trail near the Stickney Point bridge to Siesta Key. The company has become a fixture for visitors who want a full day on Sarasota's bays and Gulf waters without hauling their own gear.
Parasailing is the headline act, with flights that lift riders high above the Gulf for views stretching from Siesta Key's quartz-sand beach to downtown Sarasota. Back at sea level, the fleet covers jet ski rentals for exploring the Intracoastal, private boat rentals for families who want to set their own itinerary, and guided dolphin and eco tours led by local captains who know where the wildlife congregates.
The operation is built for vacationers: online booking, short ride times to open water, and staff who handle orientation for first-time jet ski drivers. Because everything departs from one location, groups can stack a morning parasail with an afternoon boat rental and stay on the water all day. It is a straightforward, high-volume watersports business that consistently ranks among the area's favorites with local voters.
