Why Our Water Slides Are Sarasota’s #1 Choice
When you rent from Sharky’s, you’re not just getting an inflatable, you’re getting peace of mind. Every single water slide is deep-cleaned and sanitized before delivery, and our professional crew inspects and secures it to meet the highest safety standards. We’re fully licensed and insured, trusted by Sarasota’s largest schools, churches, and community organizations to handle their biggest events.
But we’re not a faceless rental company. We’re a local, family-owned business, and that means we treat every event like it’s for our own kids. We show up on time, we handle the setup and takedown, and we make sure everything runs smoothly so you can relax and enjoy your day. That’s why so many families and organizations in Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Tampa keep coming back to us year after year.
Water Slides for Birthdays, Festivals, Schools, and More
While most people think of water slides for birthdays (and they are perfect for that), our inflatables are just as popular for:
- School field days and summer camps: Keep hundreds of kids active and entertained all day.
- Church festivals and community events: A big water slide draws crowds and keeps the energy up.
- Graduation parties and summer BBQs: Teens and even adults love the thrill of a giant slide.
- Corporate family days: Give employees’ kids something to rave about (and parents a chance to relax).
- City events and fundraisers: Add excitement and encourage attendance with an unforgettable attraction.
We’ve even seen water slides steal the show at weddings, block parties, and neighborhood celebrations. Wherever people want fun (and a way to cool off), a Sharky’s water slide is the answer.
Giant Inflatable Water Slides – Choose Your Adventure
Not all water slides are created equal, and we know that every event has its own vibe. That’s why we carry one of the largest selections of inflatable water slides in Sarasota and Tampa Bay. Here’s a look at what you can choose from:
Toddler & Backyard Water Slides
Hosting a small backyard party for little ones? Our toddler-friendly water slides are designed with low platforms, gentle slopes, and soft splash zones so even the youngest guests can play safely. They fit perfectly in most yards and are ideal for parents who want all the fun without an oversized setup.
For bigger groups or older kids, our dual-lane water slides are a favorite. Two riders can race side by side, splashing into the pool at the bottom at the same time. These slides are perfect for school field days, summer camps, and parties where kids want friendly competition.
Want something that gets everyone talking? Our giant inflatable slides are the thrill-seekers’ dream. These slides send riders flying down at high speed for a splash landing they won’t forget. They’re a hit at community festivals, church events, and big summer parties.
For those looking for something extra, we also offer slides with obstacle elements that wind riders down to a splash pool. These inflatables turn your event into a mini water park, keeping kids entertained for hours.
Turn Your Party Into a Mini Water Park
One water slide is fun, but for the ultimate party experience, combine your rental with other inflatables. Many of our customers book a bounce house, foam party, or inflatable obstacle course along with their water slide to create a full day of activities.
Not sure which combination fits your space or budget? Our team can help you build a custom party package so you get maximum fun without overloading your venue. We’ll also help you figure out what works best for your guests’ ages, group size, and event theme.
We Deliver the Splash – Everywhere in Sarasota & Tampa
Sharky’s isn’t just about inflatables, we’re about service. We deliver, set up, and take down everything for you, and our delivery area covers a huge portion of the Gulf Coast, including: Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Wimauma, Sun City Center, and Tampa.
Hosting at a park or venue without power? We can bring a generator so your inflatable runs perfectly no matter where your event is located—backyard, school, church, or city park.

Yes! All of our units are cleaned thoroughly. We are committed to making sure that your children are playing in a clean, well maintained, and safe environment. After each rental, every unit is thoroughly cleaned by commercial vinyl cleaners, disinfected, and sanitized. Once the unit is clean, it will be inspected to ensure cleanliness.
All of our units are made from 100% lead free vinyl. Safety is not an option, it’s a REQUIREMENT, and the safety of your children is our #1 priority.

Under no circumstances should water be used with any inflatable that is not designed for such use. However, there are inflatables designed for use with water. We will be glad to let you know what water units are available for you to rent for your event. You will need a water source & hose available for any wet rentals.
Our inflatables can be set up on grass, cement, concrete, asphalt, or even indoors with a different anchoring system available for every possible combination. When placing your reservation, please let us know on what type of terrain your rental will be installed. Inflatables that are setup on grass are anchored with long steel stakes, while inflatables that are setup on other surfaces or indoors are anchored with sandbags.
