This was the best experience ever. All of the staff at SNE are super kind and helpful, and all of the fun jumpers are super awesome people. I definitely recommend going skydiving here where you know the community is down for having a good time while still maintaining an excellent level of safety. My tandem instructor BunBun made sure I felt comfortable the whole time and his energy was through the roof. And the videographer Maeghan did an awesome job capturing this special moment in my life. I’ve known both BunBun and Maeghan my whole life, so to share this experience with them made my day. Definitely come to SNE for your skydiving experience, it’s worth it.

Great place to pick up dates.
Staff and all the customers are super nice, skydiving is super weather-dependent so you have time to talk to people on the ground, and everyone is in a great, excited mood. The cost keeps the scruffs out, and the activity screens out people who are lame or under 18. Highly recommended.

I am so happy I went skydiving here! My friends and I looked at a few places and this one was great, professional, but also fun! They took the time to really make sure we were comfortable and ready to go. My instructor was Scott who did a great job explaining what he was doing as he put our harnesses on and what was going to happen as we jumped/landed. We got there like an hour early to check-in and take the class and hang out in the pavilion and you can watch the planes take off and people coming down. This was an awesome experience and I would 10/10 recommend!

What an incredible experience! This was my 2nd time jumping, 1st time here. The weather/clouds kept toying with us so we were put on hold a couple times, which is why you should plan on the possibility of spending a few hrs there but there is a snack bar so it wasn't a terrible wait. Eventually we were able to hop aboard and up we went. My human backpack, Jerrid was so chill and went over every step so I knew exactly what to expect. He checked my gear more than once to make sure we would have no issues. I felt completely confident putting my life in his hands. The free fall was exhilarating although the rush of air made breathing a little challenging (I've gotta work on that). When the time came, Jerrid counted down and pulled the chute which hurt a little, I will admit, but the rest of the "ride" was awesome. Jerrid maneuvered us into little spins and swoops which was such a rush and then "steered" us into the landing zone smooth as molasses. It was just an overall amazing experience and I can't wait to do it again! PS - bring some cash to tip your instructor; after all, you just fell from the sky and this person literally kept you alive!

Thank you for you patience and thanks for jumping with us! Fun fact: the freefall speeds don't make breathing difficult, it's all mental. The more you jump the more you will be able to relax and breath during freefall!!

Went with my SO and had so much fun! Got the video package, highly recommend. Had Bun Bun as my tandem instructor and Spencer did the video. Both are incredible people. The whole time, Bun Bun was paying close attention to everything, doing regular checks to make sure I was okay, checking the position of the other divers and the aircraft, checking his altimeter, just did an outstanding job of maintaining constant 360-degree situational awareness and staying in constant communication with me. I felt completely safe the whole time and had so much fun. Observing everyone, I noticed that even though they're creating an atmosphere of fun for us, they're 100% focused and professional and paying extremely close attention to every detail so we could have the best experience possible. What a great team! We had to do some pretty quick turns which messed my head up a bit but the guys were really cool about it and helped me with my gear and walked me through everything. Amazing views all around, got to see the Whites, Mount Washington, Portsmouth, and the coast. I'll 100% be going back to do it again!

Lived by Skydive New England for years and would love watching the planes up above and the divers colorful parachutes fall throughout the summer months. This week I decided to surprise my sister with a skydiving trip for her birthday and it was THE greatest experience! We both did a tandem jump and my sister also had a videographer come with her jump -- 100% worth it, next time I go I will be ordering one for myself as well. The photos and videos were immediately ready and the videos came out AMAZING! All of the instructors were incredibly informative and did an excellent job at getting you excited to have fun on your jump while also reassuring you of your safety in feeling confident with each step from setting up your harness all the way through your landing. The views while parachuting were beautiful and the freefall was indescribably incredible! As soon as we landed I wanted to get back on the plane to jump again!

Will definitely be coming back again!

I Skydived for the first time with Skydive New England and it was quite an unforgettable experience!! The entire staff who work there are a great group of real, fun, lively, and energetic people who clearly and absolutely love what they do! The environment on the ground (and in the sky!) was entertaining, comforting, and very enjoyable. They really put a lot of effort into making everyone feel safe, welcomed and EXCITED for their experience of a lifetime! I am so thankful to have had DYLAN as my awesome instructor who made every step of the process easy to understand and fun to do! He was great! I can’t thank my videographer BROOKE enough for capturing such incredible footage and for just being so kind an personable. I would absolutely recommend Skydive New England to anyone looking to Jump and I can’t wait to go again!

Third time at this establishment and was not disappointed. From check in, to orientation, getting rigged up, and the jump, all aspects handled with personal attention and friendliness. My instructor, Dan, was respectful, capable, and handled all my questions. Throughout the process, he engaged me and challenged me. He had me calm by carrying himself with a dignified ease that came off confident and not cocky. A relatable young man. The moment you're at the open door of that plane, you realize that this is what they do, and for me, it was a cathartic moment of letting go and being immersed in the experience.
Thanks to the entire staff. I appreciate your welcoming me into your community. I can't wait to go again!! Blue skies!!

I booked a tandem skydive on July 26 2023. My second jump so far. As soon as I got to the place the lady that checked me in was very professional. After I was check in I went in and watch a video. As soon the video ended they called me to get my harness. My instructor Rich Bailey was very professional and very kind. Rich made sure I was correctly secured in the harness and answered any questions I had. Rich made me feel safe and welcome. We then boarded the plane. While the plane was in the air Rich made sure my harness and his harness was correctly secured. Rich answered any questions I had. Rich went over what to expect once we were getting ready to jump over and over again. Once it was our turn to jump I actually got the first tandem of the day he and I went to the door. Before we jump he told me what to expect. We jumped out the plane and us free falling for 60 minutes was in my opinion was the best. Once Rich pulled the parachute the view was great from 14000 feet in the air. While we were in the air we went over what to expect when we are landing. Overall the whole experience at skydive New England was great and magical. From all the amazing people that work there and my amazing instructor Rich Bailey I definitely loved and would recommend going to skydive New England if you ever wanted to go skydiving. Rich Bailey thank you for allowing me to jump with you and the lady that asked if she could jump with us. You were very professional kind and you were a great instructor. I definitely would recommend jumping with Rich Bailey or any of the instructors at SkyDive New England. Definitely was a great choice to go skydiving on my birthday. Thank you Rich Bailey and Skydive New England for the greatest birthday ever.

Not sure if this has been stated in the reviews but how long is the training class before you are able to jump? And if you are in the 10am or Noon class are you likely to jump the same day?

We prepare customers to be at our facility for the entire day, due to being weather dependent. On average, customers spend 3-5 hours at our facility, but it mostly depends on what has been happening with weather delays. We have a restaurant on site if you end up being delayed!
