Skydive Pepperell

Skydive Pepperell is New England’s premier skydiving center and the closest dropzone to Boston, located on a private 60+ acre skydiving-only airport in Pepperell, Massachusetts, near the New Hampshire border. We are a full-service skydiving operation offering tandem skydives, student training, fun jumps, and gear services. Skydive Pepperell was opened in 1970 by Ted Strong of Strong Enterprises. Since 1990, the dropzone has been woman-owned and operated by Athena Fran Strimenos, better known as 'Fast Frannie.' Skydive Pepperell currently flies a PAC 750XL, one of the safest and most efficient skydiving aircraft available. Open seven days a week from May through October, our DZ features a spacious grassy landing area, an on-site gear store and rigging loft, and a welcoming community of experienced, passionate skydivers and instructors.
