Meet Our Captains

Captain Justin Beard
Owner | USCG Master Captain | Commodore of Sun N Fun Parasail
Some say Justin could swim before he could walk and he was operating a boat well before he ever had a driver’s license. Growing up on Lake of the Ozarks, he spent nearly every summer day on the water, exploring, wakeboarding, and developing a lifelong passion for all things lake life.
Off the water, Justin was an avid motocross rider and a standout high school track and field athlete, which led him to compete as a decathlete at the University of Central Missouri while studying communications. After college, the love for water brought him to Fort Myers Beach, Florida, where he spent over a decade as the General Manager of Paradise Parasail, mastering every part of the business and building a reputation for excellence, safety, and fun.
In 2022, Justin returned to his hometown roots, purchasing Paradise Parasail at Lake of the Ozarks and expanding his passion water and wind with the launch of Sun N Fun Parasail in Englewood, Florida.
As Commodore, he now oversees both operations, ensuring that every guest has an experience they will temper and talk about for years to come.
When he’s not managing the fleet, you’ll find Justin enjoying life with his fiancée Andrea and their energetic son Kian. And if you happen to see him on the boat, get ready to laugh, because the showman himself loves keeping guests smiling from dock sign in to check out.

Captain Tim Hudyncia
USCG Master Captain | Chiropractor | Fitness Enthusiast | Water Lover
Growing up on a 300-acre dairy farm in the Mohawk River Valley near Cooperstown, New York, Tim’s childhood had no walls or ceilings. Just wide open spaces for adventure. From baseball to snowmobiling, he learned early that life is better outdoors.
Before becoming a captain, Tim spent over 20 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine, helping others improve their health through movement and exercise science. The love for health and fitness brought Jen into Tim’s life, and she brilliantly plays the leading role in one of the best love stories ever, says Tim. They thoroughly embrace outdoor adventure together, and in 2025 entered into the lifelong adventure of MARRIAGE!
Tim’s path on the “curvy road of life” eventually led him from the Northeast to Florida in 2020, where his time with TowBoatUS and Paradise Parasail in Fort Myers Beach turned his curiosity into a calling. Guided by Justin, he developed his exceptional skills at one of the most challenging places in the world to captain a parasail boat, the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri.
He now serves as the master captain at Sun N Fun Parasail! And while not front and center, he still juggles, unicycles, paddleboards (SUP), jogs and is an eager student of the saxophone.
One thing Tim wants you to know, in his words:
“The unique and breathtaking adventure of parasailing, along with the joy and laughter shared with good folk all day, are what make my job freaking awesome!”
