5.0 Eagle Parasail (901 reviews)
- Fun crew!
Saturday: 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM Parasailing & Paragliding

They are the highest flying parasail company in the area. You could visibly see how low some of the other companies around were sailing. The crew members were positive and upbeat and made jokes. Great experience! The one thing to note that if you purchase the Groupon for this company they sell out the Groupon time slots over a week in advance. If you're booking within a week, you'll need to pay full price. I wish they stated this on the Groupon. Definitely call and check availability before buying the Groupon See more..
5.0 Gators Parasail (827 reviews)
- Thrilling and calming all at the same time!
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Parasailing & Paragliding • Water Sports

Beautiful morning and we had the boat all to ourselves. Instructions were clear, life vest and harnesses were snuggly put on and Jordan and Captain John made us feel comfortable. We were nervous during take off but after that it was a very calming and relaxing experience. I would do it again! We brought our camera, however, i would recommend letting the crew take the photo's as they will capture what you cannot! Inexpensive and well worth it. See more..
5.0 Charterfinders.com (358 reviews)

5.0 Woody's Watersports (315 reviews)
- THE ONLY place to rent.
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Waterskiing & Jetskiing

Woody's has a great reputation in John's Pass. They have new equipment every year and they're not cheap cr@p. Theyre high power, all the way out fun machines. 1-3 people can have a great time on one ski, but i recommend everyone get their own, so they can go at their own pace. I live here and EVERY time I have visitors (I get lots), I bring them to Woody's. Everyone always has a blast and even first timers pick it up quickly and by the time we hit the bridge, they're pros. Their staff is 100% respectable and professional. Other places on the boardwalk, not so much. Woody's won't let you leave unless you're comfortable enough to get out there and have some fun. Out of the dozens of people I've brought to Woody's, not a single one has had a complaint. Every one of them comes back wide eyed and wanting MORE! I promise you this is a top quality place and you'll see why I ONLY recommend my family and friends to these fine people! See more..
5.0 Dolphin Quest (93 reviews)
- Great time even when it was a little chilly out
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Boat Tours • Eco Tours • Sightseeing Tours • Dolphin & Whale Watching • Nature & Wildlife Tours

I took my 84 year old mother on the tour. She had never seen dolphins in the wild and in the bay we saw lots of them. It was a cloudy, cool and windy day and even though we had layers on we made use of the blankets that they wonderfully had on board as well. The tour guides were wonderful with facts about the dolphins and information on some of the beautiful homes in the area. Because it is a pontoon type vessel the tour would be wonderful for families, although it was all adults on our tour. You will pay to park at John's Pass where the tour is based, but we had no trouble finding a place to park. If you book ahead of time the ticket area is on the same level as the boat and in the buildings right behind the dock. There is a restroom there as well. See more..
5.0 Lori's Soap & Sponge Market (33 reviews)
- A gem!
Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops

My sister and I stop in at Lori's on every trip to the area (about once a year), and buy enough to last until the next visit. Follow your nose - you can find this shop just by sniffing your way there! A wonderful selection of olive oil and goat's milk fragrances, very gentle on even the most sensitive skin. Family owned and operated, good prices in store, but there is a website to order online. I find the prices prohibitive online - buy enough in the store to last you! Parking is free to Madeira Beach residents with a municipal sticker, otherwise you have to pay. See more..

Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops

The "Pass", as locals refer to it, was created by a hurricane on September 27, 1848. A pirate, John Levique, made the first passage through the newly created pass. Hence the name, Johns Pass. Located on the waterfront at Johns Pass, this quaint turn-of-the-century fishing village is Pinellas County's #1 tourist attraction. Over one hundred merchants inhabit the Village with unique retail shopping, a variety of restaurants, the local fishing fleet, dolphin watching and shelling tours, boat rentals, parasailing and jet skiing.

- Great Day in the Bay

Rented a bowrider for four hours from Jack's and had an absolute great experience. This is basically a self guided tour. We were met at the designated time and provided a briefing explaining everything we needed to do to get to our end point, avoid hazzards, remain within Bay regulations and return safely. A GPS is on the boat to ensure you stay on track and avoid shallow water. It was simple and enjoyable. We highly recommend. I would post a pic but TripAdvisor's software blows See more..
