Where’s the best place for skydiving Houston Texas? Tandem parachute jumping over the ocean and landing on the beach takes your skydive experience to a whole new level of amazing that you cannot get jumping anywhere else but here at the beach!

We are the USA’s Tandem Skydive Specialists and the only place in the USA with the skill and capability to land you on the beach every jump. We work exceptionally hard to ensure you enjoy the safest and most epic skydiving Houston has to offer. Beach landing tandem skydiving really is the most spectacular, best, and only way to truly enjoy the thrill of 120mph free-fall. After that free fall, float under parachute canopy and soak up the amazing Gulf of Texas and Galveston Island views – the Island is truly amazing from 14000ft. We use the latest state-of-the-art parachuting equipment and meticulously maintained aircraft. We insist our Tandem Jump Instructors have qualifications above and beyond the USPA requirements (Instructors average a 1000 jumps per year and have been jumping since 1993) and we have a jump pilot with more than 5000 hrs flight time.

Ask any qualified skydiver where they would most want to jump and land and they will tell you the beach!!
Why land in a field when you can land on the beach?

Whether it’s a life list thing, proposal, birthday, adrenaline fix or any other reason – we have you covered!

We are Veteran owned and operated. Allow our professional Veterans to land you on the Beach!
