Put a Water Slide aboard your yacht
Custom and Adjustable
Yacht slides are fun. No doubt about it. But yes – you need practice to set them up.
We can build a custom yacht slide that will fit any yacht size. From the bow, from the stern, from the main deck or upper deck. All is possible. If your yacht dimensions fit, and you’re eager to get on the water sooner, we’ll supply you with an Adjustable yacht slide – a one-size-fits-all yacht slide out of the shelf.

How to choose yacht slide
A custom fit is always better than off-the-shelf design, right?
Well, not necessarily.
Designing a Yacht slide is not a rocket science. Your custom slide will indeed be designed using your yacht’s actual measurements, however the structure needs to stay flexible and adaptable, meaning a wide tolerance is required due to waves and yacht’s movement at anchor. This, in theory, defeats the purpose of having something custom fit in the first place.

Yacht slide best practice
We assume you will be storing your slide in the garage. In case you keep it on the deck, next to the deployment area, the procedure is even easier as there is no lifting needed. Simply roll out the slide, bring it over the rail and inflate half way. Then follow step 3 and continue.
The use of a yacht crane for lifting the slide out of the water is a nice-to-have feature, but not essential. If using crew man power – It is important to tie the lifting ropes to D-rings on the slide’s body while simultaneously lifting the slide over the rail.
Develop your own technique suited for your yacht and deployment area and use the below steps as a guidance.
Practice makes perfect – like with most things in life.
Step 1
1. Unroll the slide out of the garage and onto the swim platform. A fair amount of the slide can be rolled out into the water as long as 1/3 is onboard. Make sure the top section of the slide is onboard and the end is in water. To save time, you can use multiple pumps to inflate the body.
2. Inflate the slide body to operation pressure (1psi). Keep arm tubes deflated.

Step 2
3. If using a crane – attach lifting harness onto specified lifting points on the head of the slide (top section of slide)
4. Maneuver the slide off the platform, into water and float it around to the deployment side.
5. Lower the davit cable and attach to lifting harness

8. Inflate the separate stair piece and secure it to deck. Some yacht slide will come without separate stair piece.
9. Attach the slide body to the stair piece

How long does it take?
Yacht slide set-up time may vary depending on the design and size of the slide. It also depends on the desired yacht’s set-up location – main deck, upper deck, sun-deck or bow area.
General set-up time is 30 – 45 min. Developing techniques through practice will allow for a faster, more efficient process. Using a yacht crane can be helpful sometimes, but is not essential. Get the technique ready, brief your crew and practice.

Using the very latest materials that are stronger and with super slick finish makes slides fold tighter and lighter. That helps with the ease of storage and handling by 2 people.
Ultra slick vinyl eliminates coversheet, which reduces weight, pack size and areas that can trap water to cause mold.
Integrated water distribution provides continuous water flow for fast sliding simply attaching a standard water hose connection.
Yacht slides in order to be durable need to be made out of commercial grade 0.6/0.9 mm 28*26 1000 denier PVC or better, with FR and UV ratings, 12 oz denier baffling and hot air welded seams.
316 stainless steel (SS) D rings, crane straps, reinforced crew-lifting handles and non-slip material on steps.
Yacht slides can be designed with a leg support (LS) or without – no leg-support slide (NLS). Structurally any yacht slide higher than 8.0m from the WL: will require a leg support.
Multiple anchor points on the yacht slide body and legs are essential for securing the structure back to the yacht.
Simultaneously using multiple valves and pumps will reduce the time to inflate or deflate your slide. Make sure the valves are positioned where you can access them. Our suggestion is to have several on the top of the stairs and on the base of the slide.
Using world-class slippery finish makes cleaning your yacht slide easier and reduces the risk of mould or mildew forming in hidden creases.
By 3D CAD models, yacht slide can be designed to fit your yacht seamlessly. Generally we only need a Yacht General Arrangement or a Measurement form.
We can work with you designer to get a perfect color match and use yacht’s logo to express your message.
Plenty of handles and reinforced crane lifting points make handling by crew much safer and in control. Smooth vinyl arms prevent guest slide burns and n–jump net keeps riders safe.
