Family water sports in Benidorm
Parasailing, banana boat and skippered boat trips from Benidorm Port. Fun on the sea for the whole family, also outside July and August.
A day on the sea for the whole family
Carlos Water Sports has been running water activities in Benidorm Bay for more than 30 years. We depart from Benidorm Port (Muelle Industrial, office 4), a short walk from the Old Town and Levante Beach, so it is easy to fit the activity into your day.
Families usually choose short activities of around 12 to 15 minutes where everybody takes part at the same time: parasailing in pairs or groups, the banana boat or the crazy sofa. Anyone who prefers to stay dry can join the group on the boat.
Outside July and August the bay is calmer, there is less waiting and the sea stays mild for much of autumn and spring: the perfect time for children to try their first water activity without the crowds.
Family parasailing
Fly solo, in pairs or as a group, with the Benidorm skyline and Benidorm Island in the background. Take-off and landing are from the boat platform, so you don’t need to get into the water.
The more of you, the cheaper it gets: from €85 for one person to €60 per person in groups of 6. Passengers who don’t fly can ride on the boat for €40.
Banana boat, flyfish and crazy sofa
The ultimate group activities: 12 minutes of laughter towed by the boat, always with life jackets and an instructor who adapts the speed to the group. The banana boat takes 4 to 10 people, the crazy sofa 4 to 8 and the flyfish groups of 4.
All of them cost €35 per person.
Accessible tourism: tell us what you need
We want everyone to enjoy the sea. If someone in your group has reduced mobility, a disability or any special need, message us before booking. We assess each case with our team and suggest the activity, time and boarding option that suit you best.
- Skippered boat trip: the most relaxed way to enjoy the sea and the coastline without physical effort, at your own pace and just with your group (up to 12 people).
- Ride along on the boat: anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to take part can enjoy the activity on board with the rest of the group.
- Quieter times: in mid and low season the port is less busy and we can spend more time with each group.

Frequently asked questions
Can children go parasailing?
Yes, parasailing is a great family activity: you can fly in pairs or as a group, taking off and landing on the boat. Tell us the children’s ages when you book and we will confirm how to organise the flight.
Do I need to be able to swim?
All activities are done with a life jacket and an instructor. Parasailing and boat trips don’t require getting into the water. On the banana boat, flyfish and crazy sofa falling into the water is part of the fun, so participants should feel comfortable in the sea.
Can we do water sports outside the summer?
Yes. Outside July and August we keep going out whenever the weather and sea conditions allow. In winter we work on a pre-booking basis: message us and we will confirm your trip.
What if someone in our group has reduced mobility?
Let us know before booking. We assess each case and suggest the most suitable activity and boarding option. The skippered boat trip is usually the most comfortable choice.
Where do we meet?
At Benidorm Port, Muelle Industrial, office 4. See where to find us.
