We came out to LBI just outside of the summer season -Sept 14-21. So we knew a few things might be unavailable at this time. However, when calling the employees at LBI Parasail, we were told the boat was being painted -and would be ready for a trip out Saturday. We then confirmed our reservation for that day -bringing CASH (as requested) for 5 people -also known as highly illegal to take in in the state of New Jersey.
We reached the docking area at Barnegat Light, only to find a voicemail left for us earlier that morning we hadn't seen -effectively CANCELLING our trip due to a missing part??? ( did we mention the sounds of glass beer bottles rattling in the background..)
Sad to say, we were all disappointed, and would have appreciated more advanced notice.
We then called a few marina's trying to find a back up for the day, and spoke to a man who suggested the same LBI parasail -we told him we had been ditched, and his reply was, ""TYPICAL"".
