Pier 66 Parasail

My friend and I decided on a whim to go parasailing on a summer day. We called the place, booked a reservation, and arrived half an hour later. You pay when you arrive, so you don’t lose money in case you can’t make it. The location isn’t hard to find — if you’re at Pier 66 and see Anthony’s, their stand and signs are really easy to spot. Parking is always a bitch in downtown Seattle, so be sure to leave enough time. If you miss your reservation, they’ll just push you to the next available slot; the boat leaves every hour, so if the next one isn’t booked up, you’ll be waiting for quite a while.

The service I received here was much worse than what I would expect from a customer-​service oriented business. The tour guide was impatient, rude, and angry. I will not take my family here again.

As the other reviewer said, they are located at Pier 66 (and even called Pier 66 Parasailing) now. Other than wandering around the wrong pier for far too long, the trip was great. They even held the boat for us after our wrong turn made us a little late.

This is a business for tourists, so they don’t care about repeat customers. We called and called for a reservation, but to no avail. So we went to the kiosk and saw a board that said «trips leave on the hour.» We waited for forty minutes at the desk to be told that the next trip was booked up, but that if there were no-​shows, we could go. We said we’d be interested. Then, the person proceeded to take reservations from walk-​ups and phone calls in front of us (despite our expressed interest) and booked up slots that we could and would have taken. After waiting another 20 minutes and being assured that they get no-​shows all the time, the reserved parties showed up. They never offered us a reservation or anything until after the parties showed up and they had booked everything until 7:00. They made it clear that they didn’t care about their customers and that there would be 6 people to make every trip, so they didn’t care who those 6 people were, as long as they got paid. Save yourself the headache, there’s a lot of fun stuff to do in Seattle where they don’t treat you horribly.

They are located at pier 66 now, by Anthony’s. The price was right – one single ride (at least 10 minutes) and a passenger for sixty dollars. I truly enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
