BoatSlide is a guide to boat slides and the inflatable water toys that go with them: pontoon boat slides, yacht slides, inflatable docks, floating islands, floating mats and swim platforms. It’s for boat owners, yacht crews and lake-house families who want to choose the right gear the first time.
Who runs BoatSlide
BoatSlide is published by Staricon, a small publishing company that runs guides on specific topics. Every guide is researched from the makers’ specifications, retailer listings and owner reviews, and we update guides when models, prices or safety advice change.
How we choose products
- Fit for the boat. We start with what matters most: deck or platform height, how the slide or dock attaches, and the weight limit.
- Safety first. We point out age and weight limits, water depth and anchoring, and we never recommend using gear outside the maker’s instructions.
- Real facts only. Sizes, capacities and prices come from the maker or the retailer, and we say when something could not be confirmed.
- Honest picks. A product is never included because a brand paid for it. If something has drawbacks, we say so.
How BoatSlide is paid for
Some links on BoatSlide are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend. Read our affiliate disclosure for the details.
