Dunk Tank Rentals
in Melbourne, FL
This is our home city, and the tanks live here. We're Sky High Water Slides, a family business headquartered in Melbourne, which means your dunk tank has the shortest possible drive to your event. Pick from Dolphin, USA, Midway Carnival, and Fall designs, all with a hinged perch, target arm, and three softballs included. Tanks start at $350, Melbourne is our home base so delivery anywhere in the city is free, and the perch and target are sanitized on-site at your delivery.
Where Can I Rent a Dunk Tank in Melbourne, FL?
Right here, from the company headquartered in your city. Melbourne is where our whole fleet lives, so a dunk tank going to Eau Gallie, Lake Washington, or a school off Wickham Park has a shorter trip than anything else we rent. That matters more than it sounds: the tank only needs about 8 feet by 8 feet, so it fits a compact lot in Olde Eau Gallie as easily as an open field, and it needs no electricity at all.
Every tank arrives with a hinged perch, a target arm, and three softballs, and the perch and target are cleaned and sanitized on-site at your delivery. One thing to plan around: tanks ship empty and you fill from a garden hose, which takes about 45 minutes, so start the hose about an hour before guests arrive. Our crew brings a hose if you don't have one. Melbourne is our home base, so delivery anywhere in the city is free, and every reservation covers a Same-Day, Overnight, or Two-Day window at one flat price.

What Makes Sky High Melbourne's Dunk Tank Company?
We're a family business based in Melbourne, we cover all of Brevard year round, and 800+ five-star reviews say Melbourne schools, churches, and event organizers approve of how we do it.
Sanitized On-Site at Setup
The perch, target arm, and every high-touch surface get cleaned and sanitized on-site at the delivery with a non-toxic, kid-safe spray, where you can watch it happen. The crew checks the release mechanism and walks the throwing-line layout with you before leaving.
Built to Raise Money
Charge a dollar a throw, put a recognizable face on the perch, and a dunk tank will out-earn any other booth at your event. Three softballs come with every rental, the perch resets in seconds, and the line keeps moving all afternoon.
Flat-Rate Rentals & Delivery
One flat price covers your Same-Day, Overnight, or Two-Day window, with delivery, setup, and pickup baked in. Melbourne is our home base, so delivery anywhere in the city is free, and the price you see at checkout is the price you pay.
Fully Insured, COI Ready
Every booking is fully insured, and we turn around a certificate of insurance the day a school office, church, or HOA board asks for one. We're a known vendor across Brevard County and we handle the paperwork without drama.
Delivering Dunk Tanks to Melbourne Schools, Church Lots, and Community Days
A spirit day on a Melbourne school blacktop, a fall festival on a church lawn near Croton, a city event at Wickham Park, a back yard off the Eau Gallie Arts District: our crew has set tanks at all of them. This is the city we live in, so there is no route we have to look up.
Melbourne Dunk Tank Rentals for Every Kind of Event
Fundraisers, spirit days, harvest festivals, family days: if it happens outdoors around Melbourne and somebody needs humbling, a tank from our fleet has probably headlined one just like it.
School Fundraisers & Spirit Days
Melbourne has more schools than any city we serve, and the dunk tank is the booth that reliably out-earns the rest. Put the principal, a teacher, or the coach on the perch and charge a dollar a throw. COI paperwork the same day the front office asks.
Wickham Park & City Events
Permitted setups at Wickham Park, Fee Avenue Park, and the city's pavilion spaces. A dunk tank needs no electricity at all, so a pavilion with one overworked outlet is no obstacle. Reserve your pavilion, point us at a spigot, and we plan the rest around it.
Church Carnivals & Fall Festivals
Melbourne's churches run some of the biggest festivals in the county. The youth pastor on the perch is the story people retell for a year. We work setup around service times and pack down without disrupting fellowship.
Backyard Birthdays & Reunions
Adult birthdays and family reunions from Lake Washington to Riviera Oaks. Dunk the birthday adult, the brother-in-law, or whoever has been running their mouth since last summer. Being home-based means we can often work with tighter timing here.
Corporate & Team Family Days
Company family days, charity drives, and team-building events across Melbourne's business corridors, with a manager or two in the hot seat. Pair it with concessions and it becomes the thing everyone talks about Monday.
Youth Sports & Booster Drives
End-of-season parties and booster fundraisers for the leagues that play across Melbourne. A tank beside the concession stand funds the uniforms a bake sale never could.
Where Can I Set Up a Dunk Tank in Melbourne, FL?
In a Melbourne Back Yard
Melbourne's lots run the full range, from tight older streets in Olde Eau Gallie to roomy builds out west, and a dunk tank suits all of them because it only needs about 8 feet by 8 feet. The throwing lane is the real planning question: allow roughly 25 to 30 feet from the tank to the throwing line. Reasonably level ground is all we ask, and no power is needed anywhere.
The Water Fill
This is the one job that's yours. Tanks arrive empty and fill from a garden hose in about 45 to 60 minutes, so we position the tank near your outdoor spigot at setup and you start the hose about an hour before guests arrive. Our crew brings a hose if you don't have one. Because we are based in Melbourne, we can sometimes arrive earlier here to give you a longer fill window.
At a School, Church, or Wickham Park
We're a known vendor across the Melbourne-area schools, we work with churches all over the city, and we're fully insured with a COI ready the day it's requested. For a setup at Wickham Park or Fee Avenue Park, square away your pavilion reservation and permit with the city, tell us where the nearest spigot sits, and we'll build the plan around it. No outlet hunting required.

Which Dunk Tank Should I Rent?
Same proven tank, four different paint jobs. The mechanism, the footprint, and the three softballs are identical, so pick the design that matches your event and let the theme do the work of pulling people over.
| Theme | The Vibe | Best For | Season | From | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Midway Carnival | Big-top stripes and carnival lettering | School carnivals, fall festivals, fair-style events | Year round | $350 | View tank |
| Dolphin | Bright ocean blues, a natural fit on the barrier island | Beachside schools, summer camps, community days | Year round | $350 | View tank |
| USA | Stars and stripes | Fourth of July, military and veteran events, Patrick SFB crowds | Summer & patriotic dates | $350 | View tank |
| Fall | Autumn colors and harvest styling | Harvest festivals, trunk-or-treats, church fall events | September to November | $350 | View tank |
Every tank includes the hinged perch, target arm, and three softballs, and needs no electricity at all. Dunkers should be 8 or older and comfortable in water; the perch sits about 6 feet above the tank floor over roughly 4 feet of water. Live prices and exact dimensions sit on each product page.
How Much Can Your Melbourne Fundraiser Raise?
Drag the sliders to match your event and see what a dunk tank can bring in against the rental cost.
A steady line at a school event usually runs 2 to 3 throws a minute.
Most Brevard schools charge a dollar a throw, or three throws for two dollars.
An estimate only, based on a $350 starting rental and a line that keeps moving. Delivery fees, your actual tank price, and how long the line holds up will move the number. Plenty of Brevard schools clear well past this by running the tank the full afternoon and adding concessions alongside it.

Concessions: The Other Half of the Fundraiser
Cotton candy, popcorn, and snow cones carry the highest margin of anything we rent. Park them beside the tank and the same crowd spends twice.

We Deliver, You Fill
We position the tank, sanitize the perch and target on-site, and walk the throwing line with you. You run a hose for about 45 minutes, then we come back for pickup when your window ends.
The 5-Minute Setup Check
Five quick things the morning of your delivery, and setup flies. Our crew handles everything else.
Pace the Lane
Pace off 25 to 30 feet from where the tank will sit to where throwers will stand. That lane matters more than the tank footprint.
Find the Spigot
Point us at your nearest outdoor spigot so we set the tank within hose reach. Filling takes about 45 minutes, so start early.
Clear the Zone
Sweep sticks, toys, and dog surprises from the tank spot and the path in from the driveway or gate.
Line Up Your Dunkees
Build a schedule so nobody sits soaked for two hours. Fifteen-minute shifts and a towel pile keep volunteers happy.
Sort Your Cash Box
Bring plenty of ones. A dollar a throw moves fast, and a change shortage is the one thing that actually stalls the line.

Dunk Tank Delivery Specifics
Dunk tanks ship empty and fill on-site from a garden hose, so the setup spot needs an accessible outdoor spigot and about 25 to 30 feet of throwing lane. No electricity is required anywhere, which makes a tank far simpler at a park pavilion or a church lot than anything running off a blower. Some addresses outside our primary delivery zone carry a nominal delivery fee; enter your ZIP code during booking and the exact charge, if any, is displayed before you finalize your reservation.
While we've highlighted our primary cities above, Sky High Water Slides is often able to accommodate events in surrounding communities not explicitly listed. If you have questions about service in your specific area, or if you fall outside our standard delivery zone, please reach out. We're here to help make your event a success.
