FAQ: jet ski & parasailing near Cannes
Answers to the most frequently asked questions at Mandelieu Watersports.
Where can I do water sports near Cannes?
Just next to Cannes, Mandelieu Watersports offers a wide range of activities to make the most of the French Riviera: parasailing, jet ski rental, jet ski tours, wakeboarding, water skiing and tube rides, all from La Rague beach in Mandelieu-la-Napoule.
How do I book parasailing?
Three simple steps:
1. Check the participants’ ages: flights are open from age 3, children with an adult.
2. Book your slot online from the flight page (secure deposit) or by phone on +33 6 65 48 06 06.
3. Meet us at the Mandelieu Watersports centre on La Rague beach.
Do I need to be able to swim to go parasailing?
No. Take-off and landing are on the boat’s platform: you never go in the water. Your hands stay free during the whole flight, which you can do in your swimsuit or in your clothes.
Will I get vertigo while parasailing?
No: you have no direct contact with the ground, so there is no feeling of vertigo.
How many people can fly together?
Up to 5 people fly together under the canopy, within a combined weight of 240 kg.
