1 option for parasailing in Sharm el-Sheikh — real operator prices, routes and guest reviews, all in one place.
Parasailing over the Red Sea at Sharm El Sheikh costs $26 per person with Horizon Water Sports — the flight sold on its own, not bolted onto a full-day excursion.
You are winched up from the boat deck, fly above the water with the Sharm coastline and the reef line under you, and are winched back down onto the same deck. No swimming and no experience are needed: you are strapped into a harness for the whole flight.
What the price does not cover is the journey to the boat. A hotel transfer is not included, so plan to reach the boarding point in the Old Market and marina area yourself. The operator holds 4.9 on Google from 167 reviews as of 3 September 2026, and confirms the exact boarding point and time when it takes the booking.

Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh was truly one of the best experiences ever! 🪂☀️🌊 Flying above the sea with this incredible view felt like freedom, excitement, and happiness all at the same time.
An awesome experience this was. Captain Mahmud was so patient, fun and had an awesome attitude. The parasailing experience was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Horizon Water Sports...customer service was excellent too.
The activities were excellent and very affordable. My guide Ahmod a tall Middle Eastern gentleman was welcoming, friendly and extremely professional. He made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
In most resorts parasailing arrives as an add-on inside a longer sea day, and you pay for the day. Here it is a single product, bought on its own.
At $26 a head the flight sits at the cheap end of what a day on the water in Sharm costs, one step above the $13 glass boat trip — and you pay for the flight alone rather than for hours you did not plan to spend afloat.
The parachute is deployed behind the boat, the winch pays out line, and you rise off the deck rather than off the beach; at the end the same winch brings you back down to the deck. Whether you touch the water is normally a question you can ask the crew before you go up. The whole thing is short by design, so it pairs naturally with another half-day activity rather than filling a day.
Horizon works out of the Old Market and marina area of Sharm, and neither the parasailing flight nor its $13 glass boat trip includes a hotel transfer.
Important
if you are staying in Nabq or Naama Bay, budget for a taxi in each direction on top of the ticket.
