Jimmy was a great skipper. He was friendly and informative. He explained everything about the fishing that we were going to do. He also had wonderful knowledge of Maui which he freely shared. Also a great conversationalist in general. We will do it again next year. Mahalo!

UFO charters was very proactive in managing our trip and the captain and crew were great, but in five hours all we caught were bait fish. We spent more time running from spot to spot than with our lines in the water. I understand fishing is never guaranteed, but it was quite disappointing to basically have zero action. Nice day on the water just rather expensive for a boat ride.

We went with Dwayne on the Kimmy V and had a great morning bottom fishing. After jigging up some live bait, we caught 4 or 5 nice sized Macrel and 3 yellow spotted trevally along with a few pesky sharks. Dwayne knows what he is doing and is fun to fish with. We took a trevally fillet back to our condo and enjoyed it for dinner. It was a great experience.

Captain Jimmy was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about where to catch fish and extremely helpful in maintaining our lines. We caught Grey Snapper, Ono and so many other fishes that we didn’t keep. Captain Jimmy filleted our fish and we had some for dinner and it was excellent. Would highly recommend this trip.

Our reservation for two days after the Maui fires had to be cancelled. They were prompt in notifying us and giving us a refund. We appreciate their professionalism in the face of tragedy. Hope to return and go on our ride!

Our parasailing trip was great! The crew was awesome and they were very accommodating at rescheduling us when they saw the weather was bad for our original time slot.

We had an amazing experience! Captain and crew were all awesome from start to finish. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers and they made it memorable for all of us. Totally worth it and something we’ll never forget. Definitely recommend UFO Parasailing.

Do you go fishing and parasailing in one trip?
Emily

No, the parasailing is right of Ka'anapali Beach. They load you up, take you out to the boat, send you into the sky and drop you right back on shore. The whole process takes about 20min and less than 10min in the air. Not worth the money for such a short experience. I paid over $300 to do it with my 2 kids and it was over in a blink of an eye.

Is there a shuttle boat?
UFO Parasail
Lahaina, HI
Aloha Keri, yes there is a shuttle zodiac boat from the beach to the parasail boat. You can check out the safety video on our website which shows this process.
Can I use my own GoPro with chest mount?
UFO Parasail
Lahaina, HI
Aloha Marcos, yes you are welcome to use your own GoPro at your own risk. It just needs to go on over the life jacket and harness.

So is buying your pictures the only option, how much?
UFO Parasail
Lahaina, HI
Aloha Dennis, we also offer a 360VR GoPro option which is the same price as our photo package. The packages are $39 + tax each, or $68 + tax for both. You can pre-purchase those before your tour or on the boat before you go up.

Do you land on the boat afterwards or in the water?
UFO Parasail
Lahaina, HI
You take off and land on the boat. It's very easy! The captain controls a hydraulic winch that reels you on and off the boat with ease.

Unfortunately, as a state law we are required to shut down Maui Parasail from December 15th-May 15th yearly. This is due to Maui's Whale season. I hope you will join us another time!

Where do you park for the UFO parasailing in Maui?

Whaler's village. UFO does not validate. You have to buy something in the shopping center for at least 10 to get 3 hour validation. (coffee shop or ABC store)

What is the best time to go, afternoon or early morning?
UFO Parasail

We recommend a morning time for possibly better weather conditions.

Is the Go Pro a video only of the people parasailing - as in attached to the parasail? Or do they attach it to you to capture the views that you are looking at?
UFO Parasail
Lahaina, HI
Aloha Peggy,
The Go Pro video Chute Cam that we offer is only facing the people parasailing. Luckily it has a fish eye lens so it is able to capture quite a bit of the background behind you. We also edit in stock footage of what you would be seeing from above so people viewing the video would get an idea of your view from the top! If you visit our website you can also view examples of this video product before your adventure to decide if it is right for you.
Mahalo!
