Paramotoring is generally considered one of the safest and most liberating forms of aviation, particularly when individuals undergo comprehensive training and uphold a strong respect for aeronautical practices and weather conditions.

There are many exceptional instructors in the industry; however, the effectiveness of an instructor is significantly influenced by their location, which is a key factor that distinguishes us from others. Situated in Fernandina Beach, Florida, we benefit from a premier location that enables us to provide comprehensive training without compromise. Our ability to achieve this is not only a result of our trainers' extensive experience but also our unique coastal setting. Training by the beach allows us to elevate our students' learning experience to levels that are difficult to achieve inland. Furthermore, we dedicate a substantial amount of time to training inland, ensuring our students receive a balanced and thorough educational experience.

No prior flight experience is required. In fact, the majority of our students join us with no experience whatsoever. We provide comprehensive training that ensures by the time you graduate, you will be a confident, skilled, and capable paramotoring pilot.

There is no strict age limit, but students should be mature enough to follow instructions and safely operate the equipment.

Following your training, you will require specific equipment: a motor, a wing, a helmet equipped with communications and ear protection, along with a few other essential items. There is no need to search elsewhere, as we have extensive experience in supplying our students with top-quality gear that not only meets their needs but also aligns with their budgets. We take pride in equipping you with the best products in the industry.

Training typically spans approximately 10 sessions, with each session running from dawn until dusk and periodic breaks throughout the day. At Soar & Sea PPG, we recognize that every individual learns at their own pace; therefore, some students may require more than 10 sessions while others may need less. Regardless of the timeframe, we are committed to our students' success and will exhaust all efforts to ensure that each of them achieves their goal of becoming a safe paramotoring pilot.

In the event of adverse weather conditions, the safety of our participants remains our top priority. Therefore, if training cannot be conducted safely, we will promptly reschedule the session.

The typical flight speed of paramotors ranges from 20 to 30 mph, influenced by factors such as the wing design and trim settings. Additionally, variations in wind conditions and direction can result in slower or faster flying speeds.

The duration of flight achievable on a single tank of fuel typically ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours. This variation is influenced by factors such as engine type, atmospheric conditions, and the operational style of the flight.

The majority of paramotoring flights occur at altitudes ranging from 500 to 2,000 feet. While some pilots prefer the intimate scenic perspectives offered at lower elevations, others opt to ascend to greater heights for a more expansive view.

Modern motors can be disassembled and reassembled in just a matter of minutes, making it possible to transport them in the back seat of most vehicles. However, many pilots prefer to keep their motors fully assembled and utilize a car rack for secure transportation, or they opt to place them in the bed of a pickup truck.

Absolutely, paramotoring is a sport you can enjoy year round when the weather is safe to fly.

We strongly advise that you consult with us prior to purchasing any gear to ensure it is suitable for your size, experience level, and intended use. A frequent oversight we encounter is students acquiring equipment that does not meet their specific needs. If you already possess gear, there is no need for concern — we will provide training on it, provided it is safe and appropriate for your level of experience.

We take pride in being a comprehensive paramotoring company associated with some of the premier brands around the world, and we provide the lightest and highest-quality equipment on the market. When you choose to purchase from us, you benefit from our expert service and unwavering support.

We offer equipment from a range of the industry's most reputable manufacturers. Our team is dedicated to assisting you in selecting the wing, motor, and accessories that align with your experience level, body size, and flying objectives, rather than offering a generic solution.

Not all equipment is created equal; investing in premium gear often means paying a bit more for enhanced lightness, durability, and overall quality. Anticipate estimated costs as follows: wings starting at around $4,000; new motors starting at around $8,500; and accessories, including helmets and reserves, starting at around $1,500. These expenditures are comparable to the cost of obtaining a private pilot license, purchasing a motorcycle, or acquiring a bass boat, while offering significantly lower maintenance and fuel expenses, along with no insurance requirements.

Absolutely! We provide a diverse selection of motors and wings to enhance your training experience. This variety allows you to explore different options and identify the equipment that best meets your particular needs. Additionally, if budget considerations arise, you can take your time to save up without feeling pressured to make an immediate purchase.

Indeed, graduation marks not the conclusion of your journey, but the beginning of a continued partnership. We remain at your service to answer inquiries, inspect equipment, offer guidance, and support your growth as a safe and confident pilot. Our students are welcomed into the Soar & Sea family, and we are committed to providing assistance and mentorship throughout your flying career, even beyond your training. We are here to support you for life and encourage all of our students to take advantage of our resources.

Absolutely. Paramotoring can be enjoyed by individuals across a wide range of fitness levels. We have successfully trained participants with varying degrees of physical fitness and hand-eye coordination. Please do not hesitate to consider yourself in this pursuit; while it may present certain challenges and require a bit more time, our team is dedicated to helping you turn your aspirations into reality.

Typically, the weight limit for foot launching is between 250 to 300 pounds. However, please do not let your weight deter you from pursuing your passion. With a larger motor and wing, it is possible to successfully manage higher weight ranges. We encourage you to reach out to us so we can discuss your individual circumstances.
