Yes, you usually can, but you won't when you are flying. Most parasailing companies will let you wear flip flops on the boat, but many guests end up taking them off before they fly. Once you are in the air, there is always a chance a loose flip flop could slip off your foot and fall into the water. If that happens, it is probably gone for good. I usually tell people to either go barefoot or wear sandals with a secure heel strap if they want to keep their footwear on. The deck of the boat is designed to be comfortable on bare feet, and most people find it easier not having to think about their shoes while they are flying. If you do wear flip flops to the marina, the crew will usually have a place where you can leave them on the boat during your flight. It is one less thing to worry about, and you can focus on enjoying the experience instead of wondering whether your sandals are about to end up at the bottom of the Gulf.
