You will be sitting at the back of the boat in a harness while the crew gets everything set, and then instead of a sudden launch, the boat just starts moving steadily forward as the parachute catches wind behind you. There is a short moment where you can feel the harness tighten and your body start to lift, but it is more of a gradual rise than a jump or drop. Most people describe it as being gently pulled up and away from the boat rather than pushed or thrown into anything. The crew is right there managing the speed and line the entire time, so the transition from sitting on the platform to being fully airborne happens in a controlled way without any sudden movement. If you are new to boats, the boat itself might actually feel like the more unfamiliar part at first because of the light rocking on the water, but during takeoff, that usually fades into the background. Once you are a few seconds into the air, most of that initial nervous feeling drops off because it becomes very quiet and steady.
