Atlantic Parasail (Wildwood Crest)

Come fly with us at Atlantic Parasail and experience the thrills of an Offshore Powerboat ride, Parachuting, Ballooning and Gliding all in one “Action Packed Adventure,” at a fraction of the cost! Parasailing is terrific fun for the whole family!

We offer single, tandem (two people flying together) and triple harness rides. In New Jersey, we fly 500′ of rope, which puts you approximately 300′ – 350′ high off the water. Each ride lasts about 8 minutes if you fly single, 12 minutes if you fly tandem. Ninety percent of our flights are usually tandem, so bring your flying buddy with you, because the only thing better than parasailing above Cape May and Wildwood is parasailing above Cape May and Wildwood with your best buddy! The entire trip lasts about 1 1/2 hours dock to dock, and you will enjoy the boat ride and aquatic scenery while everyone takes their turn flying. It’s the adventure of a lifetime, so be sure to book your parasail flight today!

Bayshore Center at Bivalve – The AJ Meerwald (Port Norris)

The Bayshore Center at Bivalve was founded in 1988 to “motivate people to take care of the history, the culture and the environment of New Jersey’s Bayshore region through education, preservation, and example.” First, we restored the 1928 Delaware Bay Oyster Schooner AJ Meerwald as a sailing classroom.

Next, we created the Bivalve Center – BCB’s Maurice Riverfront home where the restored 1904 Bivalve Shipping Sheds and Wharves serve as a maritime center of national significance, homeport to the Meerwald and the Delaware Bay Museum & Folklife Center. Now we are an established educational institute, with programs on the schooner, at the Bivalve campus and in the community – Commercial Township, Cumberland County and throughout South Jersey’s Bayshore region.

Private Charters

The Meerwald’s spacious wooden deck, 23 feet wide by 85 feet long, provides a unique setting for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, reunions, fundraisers, company picnics, and other special occasions. The ship is available for 2 1/2 hour sails to a full day.  Bring your own refreshments or have a catered event.  Beer and wine are permitted onboard.
