Why Professional Parasailing Training Matters


Parasailing is an exciting water sport, but it carries inherent risks if not managed properly. Professional training ensures that your crew understands the technical, operational, and safety aspects of parasailing. The EPPA course covers:


  • Equipment handling and maintenance

  • Weather assessment and risk management

  • Emergency procedures and rescue techniques

  • Customer briefing and communication skills

  • Regulatory compliance across European waters


By investing in professional training, your business reduces liability, enhances passenger safety, and builds a reputation for reliability. This is especially important as parasailing regulations tighten and customers become more safety-conscious.


What the EPPA 7-Day Course Offers


The EPPA 7-day course is an intensive, hands-on program designed for crews who are both new to the sport or already have some experience but want to reach a higher professional standard. The course includes classroom sessions, practical training on the water, and real-world scenarios to prepare your team for any situation.


Key features of the course include:


  • Comprehensive curriculum covering all aspects of parasailing operations

  • Experienced instructors with years of industry knowledge

  • Small group sizes for personalized attention

  • Certification recognized across Europe

  • Focus on safety and customer experience


This course is ideal for businesses aiming to train new crew members or upskill existing staff before the busy 2026 season.

Pirate Parasailing Fuengirola offers two flexible training options to suit your business needs:

Preparing Your Crew for the 2026 Season

  • Improved confidence in handling equipment and passengers

  • Better understanding of safety protocols and emergency responses

  • Enhanced teamwork and communication on board

  • Compliance with evolving European parasailing regulations
