Captain Neil
Watch out for Mr. Safety himself! You won’t meet a more energetic captain/owner than USCG Captain Neil Newton! Neil was born and raised in Eldon, Missouri and has been a part of the Paradise Parasail team for over 18 years! He graduated from South West Missouri State University in 1999 with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. As new owner, he and his wife are focused on making Paradise Parasail the safest and most exciting adventure around!
When you don’t see Neil behind the Captain’s seat, he can be found spending time with his wife and 2 boys. An adventure seeker himself, Neil enjoys fishing and diving in any open water or cooking up his latest catch of the day!
Captain Chase
Captain Chase is the fun in the sun! He has been USCG certified since 2004, and has been a member of the Paradise Team for 11 years! It might be a “chase” to find him since he travels to work at both our Fort Myers Beach and Lake of the Ozarks locations to ensure you have a great experience in either salt or fresh water. Chase was raised in Jefferson City, Missouri, but currently resides in Fort Myers, Florida. He graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in International Business and Finance. Flying with Captain Chase is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime!
Chase is a big brother to two beautiful sisters. When you can’t find him close to water, he might be visiting his family who reside in Memphis, Tennessee. He enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking. Come out and meet him, Chase is quite the catch!
Captain Billy
Billy gets the award for “Most Calming” Captain! He will put all your worries to rest with his knowledge of boat and parasailing safety! Captain Billy has been in the watersports industry for over 16 years. He is a USCG captain with 8 years of Parasailing experience and works as General Manager during our summer months in Florida. Although Captain Billy was born in Buffalo, New York, he has resided on Fort Myers Beach for 26 years. His knowledge of the area ensures not only a great ride, but he’ll leave you “smiley” with lots of local tips to plan out a great day!
When Billy isn’t flying our jumbo Smiley chute you can find him out enjoying the sunny Florida weather. He knows the island well and has his favorite local hot spots, so keep your eyes peeled! Captain Billy prides himself on customer safety and satisfaction, he knows when to fly and when to not!
