Cocofly Boueetractee Baiedefortdefrance MartiniqueWe’re welcomed on the Anse Mitan beach, right next to the pontoon, under their blue tent. Louise welcomes us.
Let’s be honest, I was a little apprehensive before coming, but Louise, the person in charge, reassured me and, above all, made me feel confident: ” Parasailing is a safe, pleasant and gentle activity! Don’t panic: you’ll love it! “

parachuteascentionnel2-cocofly-troisîlets-martiniqueThe boat is specially designed for parachute take-off and landing, with a large platform where pairs and trios are invited to take their places. It’s important to remember that we always fly with a minimum of 2 or 3 people. It’s accessible to all, from age 4/5 upwards, the only requirement being a weight limit not exceeding 180 kg for all participants. For a double flight, a minimum of 80 kg is required. CocoFly offers 3 gliders, with wingspans ranging from 28 to 34 feet, adapted to the weight of the participants and the strength of the wind.
Antoine equips us on the boat, we don a lifejacket and are attached to the parachute bar by a harness. The boat moves slowly forward, and we begin to climb into the sky.
There’s no jolting or jolting, just the boat pulling away as the parachute gains altitude… We’re in a sitting position, like on a swing.

parachuteascentionnel6-cocofly-troisîlets-martiniqueWe head for Pointe du Bout and Fort-de-France bay. The view is simply sublime, and I let myself float away, as if in a cocoon. All is calm and silent, and in a few minutes we feel cut off from the earthly world. A feeling of freedom overcomes me, I feel like a bird… Seen from above, the panorama is breathtaking: white sand beaches stretch out in graceful curves, lined with coconut palms. The Caribbean Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, in shades of turquoise, blue and green. I can see the coral reefs, the seabed, the sailboats rocked by the trade winds, the waves sparkling in the sunlight, creating a moving carpet of light. It’s magnificent!
Looking down, I can see the whole of Pointe du Bout, Fort-de-France, the Pitons du Carbet, Montagne Pelée… It’s a real eye-opener. Martinique is definitely a beautiful island…
Cocofly Parachuteascentionnel Baiedefortdefrance MartiniqueThe return to the boat goes smoothly, with Antoine gently guiding our descent. The landing on the aft deck goes smoothly, without touching the water.

unforgettable, brilliant, unmissable! Save them in your diary.
Canapé, Disque, Flyfish and Toupie promise thrilling, adrenalin-filled sessions. Less adventurous riders and young children can opt for a fun ride. It’s important to note that our instructors always adapt to their audience… It’s up to you to choose the buoy that suits you best!
As soon as the boat starts up, a sharp acceleration propels you along the water’s surface. Every sharp turn and leap over the waves elicits shrieks of joy and laughter, and the splashing adds to the excitement. It’s fun, it’s safe, I love it!
This is anattraction for the whole family or just a group of friends: up to 6 people can get on board. You’re seated as if in a real sofa, holding on to handles, and the sofa is towed by a semi-rigid boat with a 200 hp motor. Then it’s off for a quarter of an hour of zigzags, loops and 8’s. The pilots adapt the speed and trajectories to each group. We hang on, we laugh, and we try not to fall overboard! The couch is accessible to children aged 5 and over, at adapted speeds.

It’s a lot more intense, and you need to be at least 8 years old and in good physical condition, as you’ll be going through a washing machine!
bouéetractée3-disque-cocofly-troisîlets-martiniqueYou’re stretched out and clinging to the handles, the disc goes in all directions, shaking, taking off, turning and spinning. It’s hard not to get thrown off, but that’s the game! We’ve got a life jacket and the sea is 28 degrees, so all’s well. Gliding, adrenalin and thrills guaranteed!
