It's not easy to design a safe, floating water park for every type of guest... Research and development started from the bottom: the floating deck. In order to design a water park with trampolines, high jumps, a slide and rope swing ...the deck had to provide the ultimate stability, while staying close to water level and offering the strength and capability of the the nuts and bolts of the rest of the boat: the fun. Engineers could not use a traditional barge, boat hull or pontoons, so a state-of-the art floating combination of them all was developed.

The high platform has to be scary and the rope swing has to be a soda commercial. |

Multiple slides were considered, trampolines on each sides of the boat and also a single tier spiral staircase were portions of early concepts.
We expect little kids, teenagers and adults to be drawn to Jungle Float for an experience to share with everyone. So this is not child's play: it is adrenaline. Make it exciting. Jungle Float had to be designed so you didn't want to leave. |
When you look closely at the customized aluminum "puddles", the fluid staircases, the span of the rope swing and the trajectory of the trampolines, it doesn't take an adrenaline junkie to realize the precision of Tarzan Boat. The high platform gives the diver a 14-foot jump to the water and a skilled bounced can get you that kind of air when you try "Gorilla Bounce", the boat's high trampoline attraction. The boat is also designed to be self contained so it can safely close down and head to the nearby marina for safe storage. |

Making Jungle Float safe but practical as a business was a big goal. What if you are in shallow water? We don't want a deep hull — so if the water only sinks 12" in the water they could pull right up to a beach or shallow area to pick up customers.
It was tempting to put too much on the boat, but lifeguard visibility was crucial from the mid platform, you can see everything. So, then we established the tight lifeguard rules for safe use. Weight capacity was over-engineered, but ultimately safe since it holds 16 tons. |

Now we have a product. For the owner, there is no labor of setting up. There is no inflating, lifting, breaking down and very little cleaning. Just move the boat from the dock into deeper water and throw out the anchor and you are ready. No operation cost on the boat except for the small amount of gas from your outboard engine. One marine battery is dedicated for the engine, while another marine battery serves the water pump for the water slide, the depth meter and the bluetooth-ready music system. Strong, fun, capable, safe... Jungle Float was born. |

Jungle Float is patent pending and its very unique design is under lock and key, so we do not release detailed design drawings. However, download our technical document (to the right) to help give you more specs.
