Skydive Seven Algarve

What Skydive Seven Algarve does

Skydive Seven Algarve is a Portuguese tandem skydiving operator headquartered at the Aeródromo Municipal de Portimão in the Algarve region. Legally constituted as Treino Avançado, Lda (a Portuguese private limited company), the business runs year-round tandem jumps from a coastal airfield with unobstructed ocean views over the Algarve coastline, and uniquely holds permission to operate at 15,000 feet (5,000m) — the maximum altitude permitted for tandem skydiving in Europe, delivering approximately 70 seconds of freefall at over 220 km/h.

The product portfolio centers on two core tandem experiences (10,000ft and 15,000ft), augmented by a layered set of ancillary revenue streams: GoPro-based video and photo packages (€75-€169), an external Cameraflyer premium media product, themed gift vouchers valid for 24 months, voucher extension fees, shuttle transfers in partnership with My Ride Transfers, and a seasonal Lisbon roundtrip package combining shuttle, domestic flight, and jump. All instructors are stated to have more than 20 years of skydiving experience and hold national/international certifications.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and channel-partner go-to-market: self-serve online booking via a multilingual platform (Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese), counter sales at the airfield, and distribution through seven major OTA platforms (GetYourGuide, Viator, Manawa, CheckYeti, Yumping, Civitatis, Pluralo), regional tourism boards, and complementary transport and aviation partners. The customer base is predominantly individual tourists (international and domestic) and gift buyers, supplemented by group and corporate event bookings.

Direct peers
