Thank you for making a reservation with Skydive Newport. We know that your experience with us will be very memorable. Skydive Newport is a very safe and efficient skydiving center and do require that our clients understand certain policies. The person making the reservation is responsible to make sure everyone in your group understands everything on this page. Thank you and see you soon!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
1 Arrival time:
SN requires that you and everyone in your group show up at least
30 minutes prior to your schedule time for processing.( i.e
12.00 reservation, show up no later than 11:40)
Please plan according. Many times you can encounter beach
traffic or just general traffic during summer months. If you or
your group is late it is very possible that you will lose your
slot and allotted time frame and be charged $100.00 per person,
late cancellation /no show fee. This policy has absolutely no
exceptions!
2 Cancellation policies / deposit policy
Now that you made your reservation we will hold your valid credit card number. We do not charge anything at this point. (Most skydiving centers will charge your account at the time you place your reservation $50 to $100 per person) We do not; however…Do understand the following:
We require at least a 48 hour notice to cancel a reservation or to delete someone in your group. Groups of 8 or more we require at least a one week notice. If you cancel or delete anyone after these times there would be a charge of $100.00 per person for a late cancellation fee.
3 Weather Issues
SN will determine if there are any weather constraints the day of your jump. SN will never cancel reservations before the day of your jump. The fact is the weather forecasts are inaccurate most of the times. If you are in question of the weather the day of your jump please call us before you leave your house. Do not “just not” show up thinking the weather may be bad here. If we jump that day you will be charged a $100.00 per person no show fee If we determine that we cannot jump due to weather problems there would be no charge. Weather changes hour by hour in New England. If we determine the weather could possibility clear you have the option to come out at your schedule time and wait. When and if it does clear we would jump people in order of reservation. We cannot have you come out at a later time on that day, most likely were booked all day.
4 Early reservation vs late day reservations
Early reservations jump first. Later reservations jump last. Keep this in mind when booking incase there are delay due to weather issues i.e. fog, wind, overcast, rain. A major weather delay can bump later reservations off of the day’s jump log.
5 Weight limits
SN has a weight limit of 230 pounds for men and 200 pounds for woman.
However if one has an excessive weight to height ratio we reserve the right to refuse services. If you show up over these limits you will be refused service and be charged a $100.00 late cancellation fee.
6 Age minimum/ maximum
SN has a minimum age of 18 (no exceptions) There are no maximum age limits; however we handle that on an individual basis. Please call for more details.
7 Expected duration/ delays
SN is a very efficient skydiving center. Miles ahead of others. Two people will be here for one and a half hours or less from schedule time. Ten people will be here for about three and a half hours from schedule time. However do understand weather is uncontrollable and these times can vary.
8 Payment/ group/ student discount
SN accepts MC, Visa. Discover, or cash, (no checks). Any student or group rates are based on a cash sale only. Please refer to our pricing policy page for current rates.
9 Clothing
Dress comfortable. Sneakers or tennis shoes are preferable. No flip flops. We do have jump suits you could ware over your cloths.
10 Spectators
SN has a spectator area at the edge of the landing area. Bring as many people as you want. If you are scheduled on a weekend day please have all your spectators go straight to the spectator area adjacent to the lobby where all jumpers will check in .Unfortunately we have limited space in our lobby. We need to dedicate the space for training jumpers.
11 Unattended Children
All Children must be under the direct supervison of an adult at all times. Due to the secure nature of the airport, children cannot be allowed to run around freely. Newport State Airpot is a very active airport with constant avaition traffic. If your child attemps to enter the active taxiway it can cuase serious issues. Active propeller blades are dangerous and WILL cause injury.
12 Tipping
Many people ask us what is protocol for tipping in the skydiving industry. There is none. Our staff does get paid well for the job there doing. However if you feel compelled to do so our staff will greatly appreciate it. SN will have a comment and or tip box available for you.
Thank you for your time to read these policies and pass them on to your friends.
