Paul Rosell is the owner and founder of Hatteras Parasail. As the commercial fishing industry was declining, Paul saw an opportunity on Hatteras Island to open a parasail operation. He traveled to Florida to train and came home to open his own business in 1994, Hatteras Parasail. As his children have participated in the business over the years, they have taken more active roles as they have grown. Upon reaching the age of 18, Jerry, Bryant, Tori and Asa all completed a merchant mariners course and received their captains license to continue the family business. At the suggestion of his kids, Paul added wave runners and boat rentals to expand the water sport business. Employees consist of close friends making this business a true family affair.

We strive to provide a family-friendly atmosphere and ensure a pleasant and fun experience with safety as the number one priority.
