Yacht Slides continue to be one of the most popular toys on superyachts requested by owners and guests.
Traditionally yacht slides were thought of as heavy and tough to handle for yacht crew, however, here at FunAir we have completely innovated everything about the inflatable yacht toy market and for the last five years have offered products that are light, fold tight, inflate and deflate six times faster, and are designed specifically to make life easier for crew. We even have a slide that lifts itself up during inflation.
Now that we have numerous yacht slide options, we thought we would explain what makes each design special, and help you decide what slide is right for your superyacht.
All FunAir Yacht slides come with…
There are a number of features and benefits that all FunAir Yacht slides take advantage of. These include:
Integrated Water Distribution
An integrated water distribution provides continuous water for the fastest sliding with just a simple water hose connection. Given this is a sealed connection it does a really nice job keeping the water on the slide and off the deck.
Ultra Slick Vinyl
Our ultra slick vinyl eliminates the need for a coversheet. This reduces weight, pack size and areas that can trap water to cause mould.
Ultra Compact Design
We purposely design every FunAir Yacht Slide to make it easy to store and be handled by as few crew as possible.
Material Specs
All slides are made from commercial grade 1000 denier reinforced PVC with FR and UV ratings.
We use 316 stainless steel fittings on any crane straps and reinforced lifting handles. There is always non-slip material on any steps.
Now for the fun part. Here is a list of our most popular slides for superyachts with all the information you need to choose your perfect inflatable solution.

Self Lifting Slide
Go big or go home with the Self Lifting Slide. This feat of world-class engineering has its own full supporting structure beneath the yacht slide to lift it as it inflates.
All our self-lifting slides are fully custom designed and built. We usually ask for the general arrangement of the yacht so we can ensure the slide fits seamlessly and also takes advantage of existing cranes, davits and storage facilities.
We understand that old-fashioned cumbersome yacht slides were heavy and tough to manage for crew. Although this mega slide has an impressive stature, the very latest materials and technology is used to make it as light and easy to deploy and set down as possible. With RapidFlate speeding up inflation and deflation by six times, the Self-Lifting Yacht slide is the best option on the market if you want to really amp up the fun on your yachts.
