Skydiving Facilities

Skydive Newport operates out of the Newport State Airport which is just minutes from the beach and the historic city of Newport, RI. Our skydiving center is designed to be a family-friendly place where spectators and guests can relax and enjoy a day of skydiving and fun.

In January 2016, Skydive Newport designed and constructed a brand new state-of-the-art facility specifically for our tandem skydiving clientele and spectators. Our new facilities offer an ample viewing area with picnic tables to accommodate spectators, clean and modern restroom facilities (no port-a-potties!), and a comfortable, inside student training area. For those hot summer days, the picnic tables are shaded with umbrellas. There are bottles of water, Gatorade, and Red Bull available for purchase inside the building.

We welcome spectators and encourage all of our guests to bring their family and friends along to be part of their Newport skydiving adventure!

A perfect spot to watch your friends and loved ones safely land after their skydive! You will watch as they board the plane and taxi away, and they will meet you right back in the viewing area as soon as they land. Also, we broadcast the local air frequency so you can hear the “jumper’s away!” call and you can often see the jumpers in freefall!

Our brand new, tandem skydiving student training facility! We couldn’t be more excited about this new addition!
