Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

This most likely would have got a 5 rating for fast rigging and great people, but I was EXTREMELY disappointed that I was not made aware of a 3 jumper minimum before getting on the aircraft. I was only told I needed to pay for my instructors ticket...which was fine with me. What I was not told was when I was paying, was that my first jump was 75 dollars for me, the instructor and an EMPTY SEAT.

The turbo 182 got to altitude quick, view was great and staff were down to earth. Just watch for the "3" jumper minimum.

This is one of the best dz's that I have been to and enjoy going to it. The place is building up and we are going to have a larger building before summer hits. Hope you come by and check us out when your in the carolinas. Blue skies and soft landings!!!!!!!

This is the best DZ I have been around in a while. I didn't see the king air when I was there. I didn't ask either. I was so happy to see a mom and pop operation. some of the DZ's I have been to so far have all this madness going on that makes them suck. who cares if they have indoor padded packing area and great big planes that get to altitude fast. I would rather be happy and have fun than to have all the ammenties. usually the big DZ's like that suck because of the people. too many clicks and uptight, god like staff. Everyone at Skydive Coastal Carolinas is friendly. Great views, great landing area, reasonbly priced. Bring Cash! no peas though, maybe one day they will make a pea pit. they put out an X if you ask them too. I definaly plan to come to this DZ more often. I live in charlotte! I am very pleased with this DZ. If you are used to a political clickish DZ then stay there don't come and infect my fun.

How many places that you have jumped where you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the ICW, and a beautiful lighthouse from altitude. The view alone is worth the visit to Skydive Coastal Carolinas. I haven't been around the sport very long, but this is an excellent dropzone. Good people, clear blue skies, and a great environment. What else could you ask for!!!!

A Turbine KING AIR A90 has been added to the full time fleet with (2) custom painted C182's. Roll up door, bench seat, carpet and handrail included with 15 min. climb to
14,000 for $20.00. The beautiful sceenery taken in is worth the ticket. Come visit a rapid growing, friendly, no clicks DZ. All disciplines welcome! This is not an advertisment but an invitation from a regular paying jumper.

This is a beautiful picturesque DZ. Intracoastal waterway at the end of the runway and the Beach facing south is less than a mile off the runway. Located in Oak Island City limits 30 min. south of Wilmington NC. 45 min. from N. Myrtle Beach SC. It doesn't have a full time turbine yet but the beautiful scenery and beach jumps are well worth the difference. A very friendly and highly experienced staff. They have one beautifully painted 182 and a second one in the paint shop now. There is shaded packing in the carpeted hanger and video availiable for your Jumps. Plenty of camping, Food and motels within 2 miles of the airport. Aiport landing for jumpers with less than 100 jumps. There are several regular landing Spots at the beach, but the pier is most enjoyable, (Restaurant and bar on pier) We Have even packed in the bar. I'm a regular with 20yrs in the sport and drive here instead of driving to two Otters and Casa thats only a 15 min. Farther trip. Come visit! You won't regret It.
