We operate out of a specialized building on a very customer friendly airport. Vending machines and clean bathrooms (with fully functioning/flushing toilets) are on site (a rarity amongst most skydiving locations throughout New England!). Bring your friends and family along for the day, as all spectators are welcome to use our picnic area on the edge of the landing area to relax while they watch your jump. They will be able to see you boarding the aircraft, taking off, and landing, all in front of them! Cameras are welcome for on-the-ground photography. Outside food is welcomed as well.

Serving Boston, MA, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and the rest of New England, your jump with Skydive Newport will take you on a journey from two miles above the pristine coastline of Newport, over Narragansett Bay and the Newport mansions. On a clear day you can see the outlines of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Block Island and Long Island, sometimes even all the way to Boston!
