Dunk Tank Rentals
in Merritt Island, FL
Merritt Island runs long between two rivers and has the school and church calendar to match, which makes it one of the busiest dunk tank towns we serve. We're Sky High Water Slides, a family business based in Melbourne. Pick from Dolphin, USA, Midway Carnival, and Fall designs, all with a hinged perch, target arm, and three softballs included. Tanks start at $350 with free delivery to Merritt Island, and the perch and target are sanitized on-site at your delivery.
Where Can I Rent a Dunk Tank in Merritt Island, FL?
Merritt Island stretches for miles between the Indian and Banana Rivers, and we cover every mile of it. It is a genuinely strong dunk tank town: Mila Elementary, Tropical Elementary, and Lewis Carroll Elementary keep a steady fundraiser calendar, Kiwanis Island Park hosts a constant run of community events, and the island's established lots around Merritt Square and Cottage Grove have the real grass a tank and a throwing lane want.
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. Merritt Island gets free delivery, and every reservation covers a Same-Day, Overnight, or Two-Day window at one flat price.

What Makes Sky High Merritt Island'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 Merritt Island 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. Merritt Island gets free delivery, so 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 Merritt Island Schools, Church Lots, and Community Days
A spirit day at Mila Elementary, a fall festival on a church lawn off Courtenay Parkway, a community day at Kiwanis Island Park, a canal-front back yard off Sykes Creek: our crew has set tanks at all of them. We know how far the island runs and we plan the route so the truck shows up on time.
Merritt Island Dunk Tank Rentals for Every Kind of Event
Fundraisers, spirit days, harvest festivals, family days: if it happens outdoors around Merritt Island and somebody needs humbling, a tank from our fleet has probably headlined one just like it.
School Fundraisers & Spirit Days
The island's elementary schools drive most of dunk tank season here. Put the principal, a teacher, or the coach from Mila, Tropical, or Lewis Carroll on the perch and charge a dollar a throw. COI paperwork the same day the front office asks.
Kiwanis Island Park & County Events
Permitted setups at Kiwanis Island Park, Tropic Park, Courtenay Park, and Veterans Memorial Park. A dunk tank needs no electricity at all, so a pavilion with one outlet is no obstacle. Reserve the pavilion, point us at a spigot, and we handle the layout.
Church Carnivals & Fall Festivals
Merritt Island churches run big, well-attended festivals, and the youth pastor on the perch is what gets retold all year. We work setup around service times and pack down without disrupting fellowship.
Canal-Front & HOA Community Days
Neighborhood events in Waterway Estates, Diana Shores, and Marlin Cove. On a canal lot we set the tank so the throwing line faces away from the water, and we handle COIs for HOA boards.
Backyard Birthdays & Reunions
Adult birthdays and family reunions on the island's established lots. Dunk the birthday adult in Bayshore Heights or whoever has been undefeated at cornhole since the last reunion.
Youth Sports & Booster Drives
End-of-season parties and booster fundraisers for the leagues that play out of Kiwanis Island Park. A tank beside the concession stand funds the uniforms a bake sale never will.
Where Can I Set Up a Dunk Tank in Merritt Island, FL?
In a Merritt Island Back Yard
The island's established lots, the kind with real grass and room to spread out, make the throwing lane easy. The tank is about 8 feet by 8 feet; plan roughly 25 to 30 feet from the tank to the throwing line. On a canal-front lot we set the throwing line facing away from the water so stray throws stay on your property. 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 set the tank within reach of your outdoor spigot and you start the hose about an hour before guests arrive. Our crew brings a hose if you don't have one. Because the island runs so long, tell us your cross street when you book and we will slot you into the route with enough fill time.
At a School, Church, or Kiwanis Island Park
We're a known vendor with the Merritt Island schools, we work with churches all over the island, and we're fully insured with a COI ready the day it's requested. For a setup at Kiwanis Island Park or Tropic Park, square away your pavilion reservation and permit, 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 Merritt Island 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.
