The skills evaluation is designed to verify an experienced parasail captains basic level of proficiency. A verified minimum of 10,000 passenger flights is required to participate. Flights must be verified by providing a peer signed log, or a sea-time verification letter from a present or past employer.

This practical evaluation is performed by an approved Parasail Academy evaluator, aboard an approved brand parasail vessel that is equipped with a winch-direct launch and recovery system.

Participants will be evaluated on their performance surrounding certain operational categories to ensure they possess a basic level of operational knowledge and the minimum level of skill necessary to safely operate a parasail vessel in a non operational environment.
