yolo adventures

Ryan, the captain of the charter and Mark, the first mate, were very informative. In regards to the sea life, seeing the dolphins was an unexpected bonus for us. Learning about the areas history, was interesting. In the end, the sunset was beautiful.

What a great time we had on your dolphin watching & shell hunting adventure! We really had a great time! Thanks so much Scott! We would recommend to our friends & family!!

We went parasailing! Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Can't wait to go again! Captain and crew were awesome! Made whole trip FUN!! Took great pics for great memories to take back home. We'll worth the $$.

I conquered my fear of water and heights the easy way thanks to YOLO. Every year I talked about doing a parasail but this year I did it!They were so friendly, clear instructions and safety was paramount at all times. Several of us went out on the boat then all had a turn, my partner and I went first. Why I waited for years to do it I don't know but I cannot wait to do it again. Experience was the highlight of my holiday. There are many other companies in the locality doing a similar thing but YOLO were the best.As the title says, less talking about it.. do it!!!

This was the first time for our family going parasailing and it was fantastic. The crew were very very friendly and super patient and encouraging with myself who has a huge fear of heights. Our kids aged 10 and 8 went up and really enjoyed it. We felt safe and secure at all times and they answered all our questions.I would highly recommend Yolo and we have already been back for more and have every intention of doing it again next year with them.The views of Anna Maria Island were amazing, worth taking a camera up with you so long as you hold on to it tight! The crew take some really good photos of you whilst you are up which you can purchase for a reasonable price.

14 year old cousins had the greatest adventure tandem parasailing!! Extremely well-run, friendly, safe, USCG certified boat captain, AND they take pictures that you can purchase at the end! $20 for the CD with about 35 pictures was totally worth it! The kids even saw dolphins directly below them while parasailing!!! Memories for a lifetime!!! Highly recommend YOLO!!!

Awesome! This is the best word to describe the experience this company provided to my two girls while para-sailing. Everyone that works there is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly! They have the best prices out of anyone, and I will make sure we use them for all of our boating experiences the next time we are in Florida whether it's para-sailing or a dolphin sunset cruise. Thank you YOLO!

Reserved online, had no problems whatsoever with the system (sometimes orders get lost, etc., but not here). Friendly staff that explained everything to us who had never parasailed before. Very cool experience, great views, just the right amount of time in the air. We wanted to sign up again right after we got in!

We tried to book with Cpt Casey for a family trip but he was booked up & as I had already booked to parasend with YOLO we ended up booking a tour which involved other tourists .- but that didn't bother us I didn't want exclusivity particularly but the feedback for the other operator was so positive & I wanted a mixture of fun & education about the island & it's sea life . I found the boat trip ok , we soon saw a mother & calf dolphin which was lovely & then were taken to a sand bar to look for sea dollars . There were an assortment of snorkels & masks but as we were only in 12 inches of water I could not see the point of them & most of them required the straps re threading . I could not understand why people were taking these live sea urchins - one woman had a carrier bag full which she was going to drop into bleach & then decorate the remains for Christmas decorations ??? Didn't seem very ethical to me . The boat driver had no chat , he explained the safety procedures , said the dolphin calf was about a week old , took us to the sand bank but did not appear to have any interest in his job , the passengers or the environment around him . After the sand dollar episode we headed off to shore but as we still had 45 minutes to go he decided to head off into the bay - no discussion or explanation . My teenagers were desperate to snorkel off the boat but by this time two of them had fallen asleep as they were bored rigid . He did point out a private island that had a nature reserve on it & commented on the price of land per acre . After that he was silent again until we got back to base . We saw a couple more dolphins from a distance but even I had lost interest by then . If you want to sail about for 2 hours & maybe see a dolphin close up then book this but don't expect to gain any knowledge of the locality or sea life because they either don't know it or can't be bothered to tell you .

The boat trip for dolphins Eco is fantastic, we saw plenty of dolphins and even a mother with a young baby. The boat stopped on a sand bar where everyone could get out and swim, search for sand dollars or just sit in the warm wAter and relax. Friendly and helpful staff - thanks to everyone at YOLO

We had a blast! Even though it was choppy it was AMAZING! The views and the people were great! Wonderful people to do business with. Recommend for everyone!

My husband and 14 year old daughter parasailed on 7/3/14 and had an amazing time. Both felt very safe and well cared for. They crew of the boat and employees, in general, displayed much expertise and shared insight about local wildlife. Highly recommend!

Our boys went out with them by themselves they are 10. They took good care of them! It was a blast! We bought a cd with several pictures of their adventure! They seemed to have great experience!

Safety is their #1 issue, so let your nerves relax if you have any reservations about parasailing with YOLO. We had an excellent time on the gulf 500 ft above the water! You won't regret adding this stop to your vacation agenda!

I spent ages Googling parasailing in the Sarasota area and was bombarded with choices. I really didn't know which of the hundreds of companies to choose from. In the end I went with one in an area I knew well and where I thought I would get the best views of Anna Marie. I made a great choice in YOLO (don't be put off by the name, like I nearly was). When you arrive you're greeted by a friendly English lady, she talks you through everything. The guys that actually take you out on the boat are great. Friendly and they make you feel safe. You get a 15 minute boat ride along the intercoastal waterway and then out to Coquina Beach, which in it's self is lovely and then you get a 15 minute parasail. The views are spectacular and well worth the money! Then another 15 minute boat ride back to base. The pictures that you can buy at the end are brilliant. They also give you ones from the sky so you don't have to take a camera if you're clumsy like me. I had a great experience and highly recommend these guys!
