Equipments :

We are equipped with safety harnesses varying in different sizes (even suitable for children of three years old).
We also have life jackets in all sizes.

The Parasails :

We are equipped with different size parachutes which are used according to the weather conditions. All parasails are replaced every year.
If there is a slight wind, we shall use the large parasail. For a strong wind we shall use a smaller one.
The parachutes are equipped with closable pressure vents (zips). These zips allow your parasail to be used in wider range of wind speeds.
Hence, weather conditions and wind are no longer an essential factor for the practice of this sport.
Only a very strong mistral wind can sometimes prevent practicing parasailing.

Qualifications :

We have the diploma for nautical parasailing instructor, delivered by the Ministry of youth and sports.

History of Winchboats

Winchboats , equipped with a platform, emerged in the late 1980's as a solution to the problems associated with conventional parasail operations often beach based. These operations were relying on wind conditions to perform the flight effectively.
Of course, all beach based departures occupying valuable space consequently became a drawback.
Therefore, these platforms equipped boat became the only solution as they were able to operate in a much broader spectrum of conditions than the traditional methods. Thus, disadvantages with regards to the space and wind conditions were no longer a problem to take into consideration.

The Boat (Paracraft 27) :

This commercial boat is equipped to navigate in 4th category and propelled by a 260 horse-power turbo diesel engine. The paracraft is built with a platform allowing for take-offs and landings by means of an hydraulic winch.
The speed of the boat during the flight varies according to the strength of the wind and the size of the parachute. However the speed of the boat attained when the parachute is not in traction can reach 45 knots. In which case the boat can be qualified as an offshore.
