Quick answer
Tandem paragliding in Budva starts from a mountain slope above the town — you fly on a paraglider wing with an instructor-pilot. Parasailing is a separate beach activity where a canopy is lifted and usually pulled by a boat. If you searched for one but meant the other, check before you message.

How tandem paragliding works
You meet in Budva or Bečići, transfer to the take-off slope near Brajići, run a few steps with the instructor, then glide above the coast. The whole main format is about one hour; time in the air is up to 15 minutes (extended up to 25 minutes is a separate option). Pre-booking via WhatsApp is required.
How parasailing differs
Parasailing typically starts from a beach or marina setup. You are attached to a parachute-style canopy and lifted from a boat. No mountain take-off, no paraglider wing, different safety briefing and timing.
Mixing the two names in search is common — especially in Russian and English — so it helps to be explicit when you write on WhatsApp. If parasailing is what you want, use the link below to parasailing.me — not this paragliding team.
