About us

Why Stay grounded?
Let us get some hellium up in your sneakers and come fly with us.

Skydive Cape Cod is a proud member of the USPA and has been ever since it was established in 2007. Our staff is handpicked, experienced instructors, chosen by our Chief instructor Jimmy Mendonca (13,000+ jumps and 28 years in the sport). We have a FAA certified parachute rigger and a Tandem Instructor Examiner on premises at all times. In addition, our staff is 100% drug free and is subjected to drug screening throughout each season.

We are located on the elbow of the Cape in CHATHAM, MA. A privileged location which allows us views of the entire Cape Cod and Islands, as well as Boston's skyline. We are the only dropzone to jump directly over the beaches of Cape Cod.
