It is definitely a little cooler than it feels down on the beach, but most people are surprised that it is not nearly as cold as they imagined. Once you get up in the air, you will notice a nice breeze, and that is what really changes the way it feels. On a hot summer day when it is in the upper eighties or nineties, that cooler air is actually one of the best parts of the whole experience. It feels refreshing, especially if you have been standing in the sun waiting to board the boat. Even kids usually come down saying they loved the breeze rather than complaining about being cold. During the spring or late fall, if temperatures are a little lower, you might notice the air feels brisk while you are flying, especially if you are wearing a wet bathing suit after getting dipped in the water. Even then, you are only in the air for several minutes, so it is not long enough for most people to get uncomfortable. I always tell visitors to dress for the weather on the boat rather than worrying about the temperature up in the sky. If you are comfortable standing outside on the dock, you will almost certainly be comfortable during your flight. The only thing I might bring on a cooler day is a light cover up or towel for the ride back to the marina if you happen to get wet. In the middle of summer, though, I can honestly say I have never had anyone come back and tell me they wished they had worn a jacket while parasailing.
