Like cars and boats, new balloons can vary in size and amenities. Smaller, “sport” models start at around $24,000. These balloons typically carry a pilot and one or two additional people. The larger balloons that can carry two or three passengers in addition to the pilot will range between $30,000 and $48,000. Prices vary widely depending on the type of basket, burner, artwork and “extras” selected. There are also good used balloons on the market that vary in price with size, age and flight hours.
