What about insurance?Insurance packages are vastly different state-to-state in the U.S. and vary for many countries that wish to have Jungle Float. Consult many different carriers that specialize in policies such as trampoline jump parks, jet skis, bungee jumps to find the best policy for your needs. We provide waivers for your use and your best protection for safety will be strict on-site lifeguard supervision enforcing the rules. Insurance is not required, but is recommended and here are a few helpful names.
How is it Shipped? Jungle Float is packed and shipped in large pieces and usually shipped in a 40-foot container. Our crew arrives with the shipment and assembles it near your water ramp. We hope you have already carefully reviewed your agreements, safety contracts and our safety video and specifics of operation.
Where do I store it?
Jungle Float is designed to be in the water year round at any temperature. Cover essential parts and wait for warmer weather. You can take Jungle Float out of the water with a large trailer, but it is not advised that you do this frequently or travel far. Often times, a marina can trade slip space for being your rent agent.
Are you a franchise?
No. This is a "business ready to go" that includes everything you need: all of the accessories with the boat, safety training, support and brand name. You are fully independent as an owner. Your successful execution of our methods allow us to flourish.
Can I own this privately?
Yes. This is a perfect addition to a lake house or waterway in a private area for family and friends and we offer all of same excellent customer service, training and setup for private owners.
Do you rent them?
We only manufacture and sell Jungle Float. The only boat we rent is around our headquarters in Chattanooga, TN. Future owners will decide their rental plans (by the hour, private parties).
Approved Boat Manufacturer?Yes. Jungle Float (TZB) can be found on the United States Coast Guard website uscgboating.org also see our posted certifications for commercial and for stability.
What about safety?
Jungle Float is new. It is revolutionary. It is unique. Jungle Float has been tested, inspected by the United States Coast Guard, approved in several countries as well as other boat manufacturers. Part of owner training is taking you through our specific guidelines for safe use: lifejackets, Coast Guard regulations, lifeguards, prepping your guests, strict on-board rules, your waiver, development of the flow, plastic deck and water steps, line of sight for lifeguards. Strict supervision and compliance with our rules will give you a much safer business than conventional businesses that operate today.
Does it have to be calm water?
No. Jungle Float is safe with choppy water, big wakes from nearby boats and activity. The modular deck is built to withstand some roll and bounce and it is stable and not top heavy. However, we do not recommend use on the open ocean with sea rolls.

What about a boat trailer?Jungle Float does not come with a boat trailer. It can stay in the water year round and does not need a cover. It can be take out of the water with a boat lift or a standard flatbed trailer.
What about the kind of water?
Calmer waters are preferred, but small wake and waves are fine. Jungle Float is perfect for a calm bay, lake, river or inlet but it can easily withstand swells up to 4 feet. Jungle Float comes with a depth finder and waters 12 feet or deeper are required when guests are jumping off platforms.
What about life jackets?
We recommend Jungle Float use with strong swimmers only since some will play without life jackets under lifeguard supervision. However, you will be required to have safety equipment nearby including lifejackets in a variety of sizes and throw ring. You may also require all swimmers wear lifejackets.
Is it OK for little kids?
Yes. All ages can play safely after receiving the very specific rules of play from the lifeguards and with strict supervision, Jungle Float is very safe and great for all skill levels. Here is an example of a young one on her first jump from the high trampoline.

Do I have permission in my water? Always. The United States Coast Guard has been gracious and professional with Jungle Float, an approved boat manufacturer (TZB) in the United States. Your particular waterway may have slightly more specific guidelines -- we can help to make sure you are compliant and your call to the national office at the USCG well help guide you as well. This boat can be a VESSEL, as offered with outboard engine, or it can be a "floating platform" (not under Coast Guard jurisdiction) with a completely different set of laws. You do not require a Captain's license and there are a variety of ways to use Jungle Float in your area. Watch THIS VIDEO which directly addresses engines in the water or this video for an optional way to operation.
What about capacity restrictions?Jungle Float has been assigned a capacity of 40 people, 33 for the Sport and 25 for the Mini. At the very least, you should be able to operate at the most safe level: a vessel that is "not underway": anchored or moored and you allow your customers to swim out to Jungle Float and play OR you ferry them out with a jetski or pontoon.
How does payment work?
25% deposit is required to initiate your order. You pay another 25% a month later. The balance is not due until you take delivery. If you choose to delay delivery until a convenient date, it will not be due until that time. You may also choose to not pay your balance but instead begin making payments monthly at the time you take delivery.
How long does an order take?
If we have a boat in stock, we can deliver the same week. If we do not have boats in stock, our typical turn around time is 6-7 weeks, but this can drastically change with back-orders. Jungle Float is a new and popular product and we urge you to get your order in quickly so there are no delays. At the time of your order, we can provide an exact delivery date.
Are permits required?
This is to be registered as a typical boat which meets Coast Guard requirements. Every Jungle Float has the option of adding an outboard engine and can be independently driven to your fun spot on the water, as explained in this video. If you are not already in business, then your local business laws would apply to purchase a business license.
What about a warranty?
Jungle Float are built to last and all of the structure and parts, large and small, carry warranties between 2-5 years. The deck/hull carries a 20 year warranty. Construction is all aluminum and stainless steel made to withstand commercial salt-water or fresh-water use.
How do you earn $5,000 per day?
Take a tour of our little article that shows you just 2 of the 5 ways to earn money with Jungle Float! You should earn $300/hr to $400/hr plus merchandising, photos/videos and concessions. Watch this video that walks you through details.
Jumper must yell "Clear?" and get an echo "Clear!" from below to make sure there is a clear jump. The lifeguards teach swimmers on the boat work as a team to watch out for each other. See our safety video!
Does it require a CE Marking? (UK)Jungle Float is not required to carry the CE Mark. From the gov.UK website: Not all products must bear the CE Marking.
