Had an awesome parasail outing with Captain John and Alayna! So much fun and they took great care of us! The takeoff from the boat was so smooth…so peaceful flying high above the water! You have to go experience it!

FUN DAY

Great staff and very friendly. They were very helpful with information on where you are able to drive and good places to check out. Our kids had a lot of fun! They also were very helpful with carrying your items out of the boat.

INCREDIBLE

The staff are absolutely incredible and very happy to be there. Everyone was so nice to us even though we did not know much about jet skiing. The jet ski’s were so perfect and it’s definitely something I’m going to do again!

FAMILY FUN

Rented a couple jet skis for my kids birthdays.... was the most fun I've had in years! Spent an hour on the water with my kids having a great time and doing something we'll still talk about 10 years from now. Highly recommend!

JOHN'S PASS HISTORY

Johns Pass, which connects Boca Ciega Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, was created by a hurricane in 1848. This hurricane, as ledgend has it, likely affect one person more than any other at the time – John Levique. Everyone talks of John Levique (or Leveque) and his stature as a Floridian folk hero. It is a fact he was French by birth but it’s questionable if he was a pirate. Supposedly Levique buried a chest of pieces of eight and doubloons (possibly ill gotten) around Madeira Beach prior to the Hurricane of 1848.

While trading Green Turtles for gold in New Orleans, Levique and his partner, a Spaniard named Silva, made their way back to Madeira Beach. When they arrived they found that the Gale of 1848 had cut Madeira Beach in half. Levique’s gold was no where to be found with this drastic change in the landscape. Johns Pass or “The Pass” is named after Levique and there’s even a John Levique Pirate Day. The lore goes on to say that Levique continued to live here here in Johns Pass for the remainder of his life…searching for his treasure chest. Maybe you’ll be the one to find Levique’s treasure while on your watersports adventure in John Pass!
