The Ionian at Marina di Pisticci is open water, a proper marina, and a chance to leave the deck entirely. From Porto degli Argonauti you fly a parasail above that shore, then drop back for a swim and fruit on the boat. No previous experience is required. Crew handle the harness, the launch and the landing. You handle the view. A small boat group of up to five keeps the deck workable and the briefing personal, and you are not dumped back on the quay the moment you land.
You board at the marina, hear a safety brief, then head out for the flight. Between flights there is a swim stop. Fresh fruit and soft drinks are served on the boat. The slot is the whole outing, not 150 minutes in the air. Wind on the day sets whether you fly and how the crew run the sequence.
A minimum age is not stated. The crew still decide on the day who can fly. Mention back or neck injuries, pregnancy, or a strong fear of heights before you arrive.
Porto degli Argonauti sits on the Ionian at Marina di Pisticci, a low, sandy coast with a quay you can actually find by car. The marina is the meeting point and the launch, not a Matera city address. The Gulf of Taranto opens in front of you: wide water and old maritime routes.
Allow a real drive from the Sassi. This is a half-day on the Ionian, not a ravine start.
No previous parasailing is required. You should be willing to leave the deck in a harness. A minimum age is not stated.
Tell the team about injuries, pregnancy or a fear of heights before you arrive. The crew still decide on the day who can fly.
A small boat group of up to twelve keeps the deck workable and the briefing personal. Crew handle the harness, the launch and the landing, so first-timers are not left to figure out the kit on open water.
The slot is a proper marina half-day: a flight above the Ionian, a swim stop, and fruit on board. You are not dumped back on the quay the moment you land.
No previous parasailing required. Willing to fly in a harness above the water. The flight requires a minimum weight of 60 kg; lighter participants cannot undertake a single flight and must be accompanied. Bookings for 1 to 5. Bokun does not set a minimum age. Crew decide fitness to fly on the day.
Meet at Porto degli Argonauti in Marina di Pisticci. You check in with the crew, hear how the harness and landing work, and board the boat. The briefing is on the marina side so you are not learning the kit in open water.
Leave the marina and fly on the parasail when the wind allows. Crew control the launch and the landing. Views are over the Ionian along this stretch of shore. Time in the air is set by the crew, not a number we invent.
Between flights there is a swim stop, and fruit and soft drinks are served on board. Use the water time as a cool-off, not a long snorkel safari. The boat remains the base for the rest of the 2.5-hour slot.
Return to Porto degli Argonauti and step back onto the marina. Kit stays with the crew. The outing ends at the same harbour you started from after about two and a half hours, leaving you free to stay on the Ionian or drive inland.
Meet at Porto degli Argonauti, Marina di Pisticci, 75015. This is the Ionian marina in the province of Matera, not a beach club in the Sassi.
There is no pickup from hotels. Follow signs for Porto degli Argonauti / Marina di Pisticci. Arrive 15 minutes early for a briefing before the boat leaves.
