Skydive Southwest Florida

I dropped by this DZ while vacationing in the area and enjoyed a very pleasant day. The staff and fun jumpers were fantastic people, who immediately invited me to join them for some great 4-ways. Thanks Tyler, Marty, Tom & Peg!! They only fly a 182 but got us to 13,000' for each jump. I'll definitely return when I'm back in the area and would recommend anyone to check it out.

All of the staff were very friendly and cautious. I recently got off AFF at a different dropzone and wanted to jump while I was in the area. They made sure I was prepared by going over everything I needed to know about the particulars of the dropzone and jumping their student canopy. I would recommend this dropzone to anybody. Thanks Roy, Anne, John, and Scott

I skydived here for the first time ever as a tandem and it was absolutely amazing, the staff were friendly and seemed to be very serious about what they are doing! i HATE small planes and i wasnt TOO scared of this one, it was good and the plane was nice and even though i was super scared i did it and it was awesome and plan on going back ASAP! Awesome place to go!

I recently visited this dropzone and found it to be a refreshing change from the typical LARGE Florida dropzone. The staff and jumpers were very friendly giving it that midwest cessna dropzone feel.The grand caravan was very nice.Most of the jumpers were fairly low timers in the 200-400 jump range but they were all eager and it won't be for long before there is a wealth of experience bouncing around.There wasn't a lot in the way of facilities but they had covered packing with good ventilation and a comfortable place to rest when you weren't jumping.I would highly recommend that if you are in the area for you to stop on by and give them a chance.I'm sure you'll have just as nice a time as I did.

This is a place for fun & friends!! Everyone is ready to help out & share a smile! Everyone makes you feel welcome. Love this place!!!!

The best dz ever! Great people...like a family. Always open to new jumpers

Was recently invited to take a trip up to Port Charlotte on a tandem jump in Oct. 06 Sense then I've made over 87 jumps and both received my A, B Licenses but I've always had great teachers and jumpers to inspire my true desire and to make my dream come true. Human flight is were i below and I owe it all to Anne and Roy's DZ. ~ Remember Live Love and Learn.

I went through my AFF course here, and this place is awesome. Awesome friendly people, specially Ann & Roy. They're willing to jump almost any day of the week, and not matter how busy it is you will get your AFF/AFI jump in. They are about safety, and I do feel safe jumping out of a perfectly good airplane with Skydive SWFL. The experience jumpers are also friendly. It feels like one big happy family there. Once you start going to this place expect to come back every single weekend.

Thank you Ann, Roy, and everyone at Skydive SWFL.

I met Anne and Roy 2 years ago when they were in Labelle and was excited to find them in Punta Gorda. I began the AFI program with them and found them both informative, professional, and very safety conscious. After graduating, I found their ongoing training continues even when the DZ is busy. They are always available and willing to assist. I would highly recommend this DZ for anyone from novice to advanced. In the past six months, I have seen this DZ grow and they have found a great site. This DZ is still small enough to have a personal touch but also has the ablity to handle larger crowds. By speaking with other jumpers from larger drop zones, Anne and Roy are well known within the sport and they maintain a higher standard and will not compromise that for anyone. I saw the fun jumpers there welcome new people and get excited by encouraging and supporting the beginners.

It's great to visit a small dz from time to time. The friendly staff and jumpers made my first visit very pleasant.
Can't wait to see this place when they get a bigger plane!

One of many Florida dropzones I have visited.

Yep took us a while but today 4 tumblefuqs paid a well deserved visit to roys Place and it was great we only got 2 jumps in as Robbie was in hurry to get ome n do honeydoo, But we got 2 great rides in the westwind as it rumbles down the grass runway kicking up dust you cant help thinking your in a worldwar2 movie plane clibs nice n fast big door 14 grand both loads what else can i say if you can find it DO SO follow anns direcrions implicitly and you will get there
( gettin omes a different story we got well lost ) anyway a great days jumping and we will derfinatly be back it looks like there expanding and only GOOD things to say about this DZ..

This DZ is a little tough to find at first but when you do, it is a great dropzone. A private strip so you don't have to worry about other planes and pilots who may dislike skydivers. I wish I had more opportunities to make it out. I'm sure the boogies are great!
Great tandem pricing... my first jump(at another dz), I paid more and we only went to 9,500ft.

I visited LaBelle for the CASA boogie and had a blast jumpin there. The landing area is huge and provides plenty of space for large or small loads. The gear store is awesome and run by two fantastic people, Roy and Ann.

Everyone is so helpful and willing to get you on jumps with them. Can't beat the friendly staff, they definately go above and beyond. Whatever you need, ask and they will try to acommodate.

Had a great time jumpin there and would suggest visiting.

A warm friendly , knowlegable staff ready to serve your skydiving wants and needs.

We are very happy to be there!
