Who Should Try This?
This activity is perfect for the following types of travellers:
Couples
The winch system allows for a smooth, boat‑based takeoff and landing. Couples can go tandem and enjoy the flight without getting wet.
Families
Very family‑friendly because you land on the boat – no running or getting dragged. Ideal for families with young kids or older members.
Solo Travelers
Solo travellers can enjoy a peaceful, dry flight. The winch allows you to stay in the air longer and at a more controlled altitude.
Nature Lovers
From up high, you can spot dolphins, rays, and the shape of the coastline. The winch boat can position you for the best views.
Content Creators
Because you don’t get wet, you can bring a better camera (in a waterproof bag). Capture steady, high‑quality aerial shots.
Beginners
The winch is the most beginner‑friendly parasailing method. No running, no water landing – just sit, get strapped, and gently ascend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between winch parasailing and regular parasailing?
Winch parasailing uses a hydraulic winch on the boat to launch and retrieve you, so you never touch the water (unless you request a dip). Regular 'beach parasailing' uses a tow rope from a moving boat and you land on the beach. Winch is smoother and safer, and you get more flight time. Book on GoaNearby.In.
What is the maximum altitude and duration?
You'll reach up to 80 meters (262 feet) above the Candolim coast. The flight duration is 6-8 minutes. The total experience including briefing and boat ride is about 20-25 minutes. For an extended flight (12 minutes), choose the 'Deluxe' option at checkout (+₹400).
Is it possible to do tandem (two people) winch parasailing?
Yes, tandem flights are available for couples or friends. Combined weight limit is 160 kg. You will be harnessed together and fly side by side. The winch can handle two lines simultaneously. Please book the 'Tandem' option on the GoaNearby.In product page. Additional cost is 50% of the single price.
How do I arrange transport to Candolim Beach?
Transport is not included. Use our partner pavancab.com – WhatsApp +918180951176. They provide reliable cabs from anywhere in North Goa. If you are staying in Candolim, you can walk to the water sports zone (near the lifeguard tower). Parking for private vehicles is available for a fee.
What is your refund policy if I get too scared to fly after reaching the boat?
If you board the boat and then decide not to fly, you will receive a 50% refund because the boat and crew costs are incurred. If you decide before boarding, you get 100% refund. We strongly encourage you to be sure before heading to the boat. Our instructors can give you a 'dry run' on the beach to ease fears.
