Skydive Newport Reviews

Marc is amazing and will accommodate to the best he can

This past weekend was my first time Sky Diving and I had a blast! I was pretty nervous, but all of the staff was so friendly and informative that they really made me calm. My instructor Nicky was very kind and took great care of me, he made the experience 10x better than it already was. I will definitely be returning and jumping again!

Great staff, very easy process and make you feel comfortable I had a blast and would Def go again!!!

Greatest thing ive ever done life changing experience

To say Skydive Newport was an epic experience is being modest! Everyone there was beyond friendly, professional and committed to make us feel safe, secure and enjoy the adventure to the fullest. Being from Canada I am so happy to have done this here in beautiful Newport, Rhode Island - Thank you Marc, Eric and Chris for being such fantastic hosts and tandem partners!!!

Last Thursday a friend of mine from Illinois came east. On her bucket list was skydiving. I told her I would go so we did at Sky Diving Newport. I had not been in 46 years. It was fantastic I had a ball the people there were great. Mark the owner Chris & Eric diving partners & Keith the pilot. What I am telling you is to get off your butt & go do it. I'm in my 75 year my friend is 72 so you are never to old. Try it you will love it! Bill Grace

Skydived for the first time at Newport, and it is such a fantastic experience. The staff is very competent and friendly, and the instructor is super reliable and professional. Plus that the view from the sky here is spectacular! Highly recommend this place for skydiving!

Just completed my 1st sky diving adventure at skydive Newport! Great place, people, service, and knowledge!! Never felt unsafe or nervous about being there. Very happy I got the still photo/video package because I barely remember the moment of actually leaving the plane. Let us chill there to watch a couple other people land and never felt rushed. Great experience! Thank you skydive Newport....

Had a great lifetime experience with Skydive Newport. Staff is very good and supportive to make you feel relax and calm down for the jump.

This place is unbelievably professional and knowledgable. They made everything super easy and so much fun! I will definitely be going back.

What an amazing experience! Best birthday present EVER! They were so professional and great at calming my nerves! Highly recommend.

The staff is great from top to bottom including the pilots. I've been numerous times and it keeps getting better and better every time. This is a first class organization and I would recommend trying sky diving here.

My first jump today 5/16/17, was amazing! Nicky, the instructor made it more fun and I had an excellent experience. Will be back again as soon as possible!

Totally see why this place has 5 stars. This place is top notch. Everyone from the staff, instructors, and pilot are extremely professional and experienced. If it's your first time, like it was mine, definitely get the photo package. You will want to remember this. They talk you through every step of the way and give you clear directions of the entire process. Can't thank Eric enough for being patient and encouraging.

It was amazing!!! Not scary at all. Nick was my instructor and he was great. I felt safe and he made the experience very fun!! Would definitely do it again!

Marc and Cherri Tripari are very well in tune with their jumpers. They run a great business and I highly recommend them. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable and attentive, and very safety conscious. My instructor Chris Milot is the best. He made me feel relaxed and at ease. That was the thrill of a lifetime, thank you Skydive Newport.

Super incredible experience. Excellent and professional staff. 5 stars all the way and will definitely be back.

I couldn't choose a better place to do my first jump. Great staff, amazing views and a feeling that I will never forget.

9/18, that will be a new date that I keep in memory as the day I went skydiving for the first time in beautiful Newport. My instructor Chris was a very nice guy who did a great job keeping me excited about the drop yet calm at the same time. The video came out amazing and I can't wait to show my daughter when she's older. Her dad has guts!

The most amazing experience In my life. First time jumping and will definitely return. I also appreciated the professionalism, friendliness and hospitality of the staff. And what topped it off was that they were kind enough to let me leave my stuff at the desk because I did not have a car. I took a bus down from providence and will gladly do it again to jump with this highly trained staff. Thank you guys again for making it a great time.

I did my second jump with Skydive Newport and had a fantastic experience. I jumped with Chris. He was professional, fun and friendly.

Skydive Newport has a great vibe, their staff is friendly and very helpful and they provide an overall excellent experience. I would highly recommend Skydive Newport to anyone looking to jump in Rhode Island.

Amazing experience, I have never felt so alive! Caring and knowledgeable staff who made it even easier to just jump and trust in them and the equipment!

This was my 2nd skydive but first here and was an even more exhilarating experience than my first time. For one, I was much more comfortable, not because it was my 2nd jump but because my instructor Nicky put me at ease. He told me what # I was for his jumps and he has more jumps than you can imagine. The entire staff is so fun and friendly. They make your experience special. Imagine going to work and having to calm down hyped up people every day. It takes patience. There are no words for the view. I saw the Pell Bridge (Newport Bridge) that we run over every year and 1st beach where we do the Polar Plunge every New Year's day. When the parachute opened, Nicky pointed out where everything was. No words can explain this experience. A must do at LEAST once in a life time. I recommend to everyone. Thanks Skydive Newport. I will be back.

I did my first skydive on 6/30/19 with Chris and it was an unforgettable experience! Everyone was professional, helpful, and kind, walking me through every step of the experience. They even let me go earlier in the day when we were supposed to have some afternoon thunderstorms. Thank you again so much to the Skydive Newport team!

Had a blast!! Very clean environment, and up to date with ALL Covid-19 safety concerns. Staff was unbelievable, super professional and really nice people. Felt completely comfortable being my first jump. Will definitely be back

My little sister and cousin came here. It was a very clean, safe, professionally run facility.

First time skydiving yesterday and it was such an amazing experience, staff were all so friendly and fun!! I wouldn t have wanted to do it anywhere else! Thank you guys!!

Unforgettable experience!
I booked a few days before I wanted to jump, they even let me change the day and do it the day before because the weather was uncertain. It was my first jump, and Eric made me feel very comfortable. It went fast, I arrived, signed the waiver, watched a short video, and they prepared us. The pictures are great, and the video is very well done. I am going to leave the USA, but this day will never be forget and will be one of my best souvenir.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! everyone at Skydive Newport is very professional and everything is super safe. I cannot wait to go back!

SO MUCH FUN! Very professional staff and beautiful view truly amazing experience

First time jumping, Chris was awesome and I would absolutely recommend. The point where fear and bliss meet is incredible! Everyone should do this at least once. Thanks Skydive Newport!

Went skydiving with my roommate as a graduation present. The most thrilling experience for sure! All of the staff are friendly and excited about their sport, and the facilities are clean and safe. I will definitely jump again with them and would highly recommend anyone who is remotely considering skydiving to use Skydive Newport!
Cheers!

Awesome people. Awesome view. Awesome experience. Do go.

I went skydiving last weekend at Skydive Newport and thoroughly enjoyed it! Marc and his entire team immediately won my confidence with their professionalism, efficiency and safety-consciousness. But just as important, their obvious love for the sport was infectious - I couldn't help but share their excitement for this thrilling experience. This was a day I'll never forget!

I jumped for the second time with Chris ! I can t say enough about this experience! I have jumped other places and this is by far the best view, staff and facility ! Highly recommend!!!

My experience at Skydive Newport was absolutely incredible! There were 5 of us jumping first thing on a Saturday morning and it was the first time for two of us. From start to finish, the team at Skydive Newport was friendly, informative, professional, and efficient. Jumping out an airplane at 10,000 feet was absolutely mind-blowing and SO MUCH FUN! I would go back to Skydive Newport in a heartbeat. They really make you feel comfortable and safe, and make sure your experience is amazing. We all agreed we can't wait to go back! The views were incredible, and I really appreciated Chris being my "tour guide" pointing out landmarks as we parachuted down to the ground. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I'm so happy I did my first jump with Skydive Newport. Thank you to the whole team - you guys are awesome!!

OMG!!! First time skydiving - Chris did such a great job making sure I felt safe & secure! The whole experience from beginning to end was more than I ever expected! Everyone at Skydive Newport was super friendly - I can t wait to go again!!!

An absolutely amazing team and an even better experience. Everyone was so thorough and so enthusiastic. I felt comfortable and my fears all went away shortly after arriving. We will be back for sure!!

The best experience I have ever had. The minute I landed, I was ready for another round. Safe, and totally worth every penny, each crew member truly cares about you. I would recommend this place to every single person I know, thank you Skydive Newport for the experience of a lifetime, I will be back!

Wonderful experience. The staff and experience (and scenery!) were all tremendous. Would absolutely recommend and go back.

Amazing!!!! 100% recommended, best experience :) can't wait to go back!

One of the best experiences I ve had ever! The guys who jumped with my dad and I were super cool and made the whole process so much more fun and easy. Highly recommend

Unbelievable very impressed staff was awesome experience of a lifetime me and my son wanted to go right back up

Hands down the best experience of my life! I dropped out of a perfectly good airplane on may 28th 2017 with Nicky Sergi being my instructor. As to be expected I was totally nervous but also super excited. Nicky helped keep me excited & I felt perfectly safe with him. Newport skydiving as a whole is an amazing company. They truly care about you & your safety. When I arrived they let me know that due to an overcast of clouds we could safely drop at 8 thousand feet VS the 10 thousand. They gave me the option of rescheduling at no fee or to safely drop at 8 thousand. Given it was my first time I was perfectly okay with the 8 thousand. But I was also told that once we got up into the sky if the weather made us unable to drop from 8 thousand they would give me a free sight seeing plane ride because it then becomes unsafe so that would be of no cost to me & they would gladly reschedule my drop. By the time I signed my waivers & geared up, & was up in the clouds we got the okay to drop at the normal 10 thousand altitude & it will always be a day to remember! This company is hands down an amazing and compassionate group of people who truly care about the experience of each client but more importantly the safety of their clients as well as their employees. I will always recommend this company to anyone in the area as well as tourists. & I would like to add for anyone who is planning on skydiving at skydive newport please do yourself a favor and pay for the video and picture package!! It is so worth the money! I tell people all the time now that I went skydiving but it still feels unreal until I look back on my amazing high quality photos and my very well done video. Thank you guys again for everything! It truly made for an unforgettable early 25th birthday :)) & I will be back in the near future if I can get my husband to gain the courage to jump haha! ;)

I had the BEST first time skydiving experience at Skydive Newport - from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Mark and his staff were so welcoming and friendly, and they have TONS of skydiving experience! I had the pleasure of jumping with Mark s son Chris who was wonderful! He made me feel so comfortable and at ease the entire time. The second I touched the ground I was ready to go back up again. Would 100% recommend Skydive Newport to anyone!

Date of jump: 5/5/18
Instructor: Chris

Wow!! This experience was unbelievable. Not only was the staff super accommodating for our reservation reschedules but they were also very friendly and welcoming. Today ( July 30, 2017 ), my boyfriend and I had the time of our lives. The instructors we had (Rich and Nick) made the experience even more worthwhile. This was my second time jumping and I cannot wait to go again! Highly recommend!

Chris and Eric made this experience amazing with their awesome personalities!! The pictures and video was AMAZING! The views was worth every penny!! The crew inside was awesome too! Will definitely be back for this experience and bring my family too! Thank you again Cris and Eric you ROCK!!!

If you have ever wanted to go skydiving, Skydive Newport is the place to go! All of the staff is amazing and Chris is an awesome instructor. Took my first jump on 9/4 and now I can t stop.

I jumped today (7/9/17) with Nicky Sergi. The whole experience was amazing! Since it was my first time I was a little nervous but everyone at Skydive Newport made it so enjoyable. Thanks to Nicky who made it so easy! An experience I will most definitely be coming back for more!

All-around fantastic experience from beginning to end. The staff was extremely accommodating and the visit was very smooth; we were up in the plane within 45 minutes of arriving. The scenery on the jump was amazing and it was truly a special experience. We can't wait to go again!

Love this place! Completely professional, will definitely be back again.

I jumped today with Chris in celebration of my 40th birthday! It was the single greatest experience of my life! The facility is immaculate, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and you're put at ease the moment you walk in the door! This was absolutely amazing, and I could not be more grateful!! This will take your breath away - danger is real, fear is a choice! - DO IT!!! Thank you, Skydive Newport! Thank you SO much!!!

This was my first time jumping and I absolutely loved it! The staff was amazing as well and even with my party not showing up on time they didn't make a fuss or anything which was super relaxing. I will be back hopefully sooner than later.

From start to finish this was an amazing experience. The instructor did an amazing job to make me comfortable. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning experience. I scheduled my dive for 3 pm but unfortunately weather wasn t favorable. In spite of running an reservation based business, Mark let me wait for an hour, the clouds moved away and I went on to have one of the best feeling of my life. Thank you so much Mark and Chris for helping me through this experience . Worth every second !!

This was a crazy fun exciting safe adventure!!!
I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to have an experience of a lifetime!!!
You wont regret it!!!

Awesome views and a super friendly staff! Great place to make your first skydive. Thanks for the laugh Marc!

Wow!!!! Finally checked this off my bucket list!!! Had a great experience with Skydive Newport on August 11, 2019. Everyone from the time I called & made the reservation, check in process, video/training and the actual jump itself were nothing short of professional. Their prices are reasonable. Views are amazing. Great staff. I jumped tandem with Chris & he was great! He has 23 years of experience and he brings a calmness to it. He put me at ease, made me feel safe and explained everything along the way. I would highly recommend Skydive Newport & Chris! Thanks for an amazing experience!!! It was nothing short of AMAZING!!!

Awesome staff and an amazing experience. Have gone several times and will definitely go again.

These guys are are amazing !!! and a shout out to Jerry who tandem jumped with me, he was awesome and i recommend these guys for the life time experience which i think everyone should have under their belt!.. cheers!

From the moment you enter skydive Newport to the moment you land , the staff at skydive Newport makes you feel incredibly comfortable and confident for your jump. I was pretty anxious and excited to go, and the instructor (forgot his name) due to all the excitement, was very knowledgeable and calm. I through fear aside and had all my trust in the instructors and pilot which helped me to enjoy the entire experience from anticipation , to the jump, to free fall and landing. It was a effin incredibly amazing experience!!! I already cant wait to go again!

Mark and the Skydive team in Newport were awesome. My Skydiving tandem pro was Chris...he is fantastic! I urge anyone looking for the thrill of a lifetime to Skydive Newport!!!! DO IT!!!

Skydive Newport are true professionals in every way. They offer a safe and exciting experience at a great price. Customer service can't be beat! They are flexible and easy-going. Mark and Chris have a passion for their sport and make new jumpers feel comfortable and ready to enjoy it as much as they do. I highly recommend Skydive Newport! You will NOT be disappointed with the jump, pictures, or videos!!! We will definitely be back!

I jumped Sunday August 20th & it was the most amazing experience of my life. Can't want to go back again. My dad and I are planning to go once a summer now! My instructor Rich was great! Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Also my dad's instructor nick was great too!!!

I have an extreme fear of heights......and I loved this!

I had an amazing experience with Skydive Newport! My first jump ever celebrating my 40th birthday in the day of the historic eclipse, 8/21/2017. My thanks to the staff which is very friendly and professional, and my special thanks to the guy that made me write this review by making the landing possible, instructor Jerry. It was awesome, I recommend Skydive Newport to my family and friends. I can't wait to do it again!

Such an amazing experience with these guys! Chris Tripari was my instructor and talked me through the steps the entire way. He also made me feel safe and comfortable at all times! I paid the extra package for photos and videos, and it was definitely worth it. The pictures are high quality, and they get really awesome shots! They also make a dope video for you, of your entire skydive experience. I highly recommend this place to everyone! The instructors are great and the view is even better.

I want july29, 2019. Perfect day, great friendly staff. View and total experience was amazing. Highly recommend them for skydiving.

Took my daughter to jump for her 18th birthday, on a Wednesday June 26, got there early and they took us right in. We where up in the plane with in 25 minutes of check in. Very clean , and professional staff, our jump guides answered all of our questions and where a lot of fun. The views on the jump are FANTASTIC! I highly recommend them for tandem jumping. The jump plane was small but got the job done just fine.

This company is amazing! Great experience from walking through the door to driving away. Friendly jumpers.

Very professional business. Convenient, clean and well maintained. I'm not in a position to jump but for my son and others we saw, the experience was awesome

I had the most amazing experience at Skydive Newport! I called in the morning and booked my appointment for later the same day, it was so easy to book and everyone was friendly. The divers were nice and made the jump and flight very enjoyable - I can't wait to go back!

Fabulous experience! Go, even if you think you don't want to. You will discover that you want to! Special thanks to my talented instructor, Rich.

First timer skyding and had an AMAZING expierence. My girlfriend and I went on July 30th at 4 and had the best view of Newport. The staff was highly professional and super friendly. My instructor Nick took amazing photos and a video of the whole expierence which are memories we won't be forgetting. Great time and very comfortable for anyone who hasn't done skydiving before, highly recommend!

Best experienced I have ever had. It was amazing all the time!!! I try to Skyviding for while but don't have time and alway thought it should be so expensive. However, only for Skydiving for this experienced the price is reasonable and I gladed to try it, if ask me wanna try again, I will say 1000% YESSSSS, some day I hope I can bring my own camera.
