Boogie week
Sebastian Invasion · December 27 – January 1
The drop zone's end-of-year boogie brings jumpers in from all over the world for six days of big-ways, load organizers and parties — the 2026 edition is Invasion XXI. It lands in the middle of peak snowbird season on this stretch of the lagoon, which means everything within 20 minutes of the landing area is booked well in advance. If you are coming for the Invasion, or bringing a team for a training camp before it, get your dates in early.

Skydiving stays FAQ
How far is the house from Skydive Sebastian?
About 10 miles and 15 minutes by car. The drop zone is at 400 W Airport Dr on Sebastian Municipal Airport (X26); we are at 6910 US-1 in Grant-Valkaria, straight up US-1 and off the highway.
Can a team or a group of fun jumpers book the whole house?
Yes — the house is only rented whole, never by the room. Three bedrooms, five beds, sleeps 8, two full baths, with a three-night minimum. Split between a team it works out well below area hotel rates.

We do keep monthly availability, especially November through April. Rates for season instructors, coaches and videographers are handled case by case — message us and we will quote you a special price for the block you need.
When is the Sebastian Invasion boogie?
The Invasion runs from December 27 to January 1 every year; the 2026 edition is Invasion XXI. That week overlaps with peak snowbird season here, so lodging within 20 minutes of the drop zone goes early. Confirm the year's schedule at sebastianinvasion.com.
Is there space for a truck, van or trailer?
Yes. There is driveway and yard space for a truck, a van, or a boat/gear trailer for the length of your stay.
Can I bring my dog while I'm jumping for the week?
Two dogs are welcome, no size or breed limit, $100 per dog per stay. Dogs cannot be left alone in the house, so plan the day around that if you are on manifest all afternoon.

Skydive Sebastian lists tandems at $219, with a $199 weekday rate using their WEEKDAY code, exiting at 13,500 ft over the Atlantic coastline. Prices and schedules are theirs — book directly with them at skydiveseb.com.
