Slide, float, and party on Percy Priest Lake. I love the double-decker triple slides because you can ride up top and drop straight into the water. I also like the included sound system and beer pong table, which keeps the vibe going without you having to bring extra gear.

This is a private outing built for groups that want one clear plan and then lots of lake time. You cruise to Party Cove on Percy Priest Lake, where more than 100 boats gather, then you rotate between the slides, tubing fun (plus a 4-person raft), and hanging out on inflatable space like the lily pad.

The main thing to plan around is simple: alcoholic beverages and towels are not included, so you will want to pack or purchase them ahead of time. If you forget, you will lose time at the start or pay for last-minute fixes.

Key Highlights You Should Know

• Triple slides on a double-decker boat, with quick jumps right back into the lake

Percy Priest Lake and Party Cove: Why This Works for Big Groups

Percy Priest Lake is one of the easiest places near Nashville to do a full-on water day without a complicated schedule. This trip takes you into Party Cove, a dedicated party zone where the action is concentrated, so you are not spending your time searching for where everyone else is going.

I like that the experience is built around a single base area. You are not bouncing around multiple stops. Instead, the day flows from pickup, to cruising into the cove, to sliding, floating, and playing right where everyone is.

The cove setup also matters. With over 100 boats in the area, you get that group atmosphere, but you can still step away when you want a quieter moment on the inflatable space.

Boat Details That Actually Matter: Slides, Slides, and More Slides

This is a new 30ft double-decker triple slide pontoon party boat powered by a 200HP Suzuki, and it is designed to carry up to 22 passengers. You are paying for a party boat format, not just a “sit and look at the water” cruise, and the layout supports that.

Here is what you will likely use most:

• Three slides on the top deck, which is the whole point of the boat
• A 4-person raft for tubing, if you want that extra adrenaline
• An inflatable lily pad (listed as about 5 by 10 feet) plus additional float space (including a float pad and floats)
• An on-board premium sound system and a beer pong table for group games

The slides are not just a novelty. They are a built-in activity loop. People climb up, take turns, jump in, and then regroup. For a group, that means less awkward downtime and more shared moments.

The Real Itinerary: What Happens Over Those 3 Hours

You are on the water for about 3 hours. The structure is straightforward, which is a big plus when you have a bachelorette party, bachelor group, or mixed crowd where everyone wants different levels of energy.

Step 1: Meet at Bell Rd and head for the lake

You start at 3979 Bell Rd, Hermitage, TN 37076, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. From there, you move as a group toward Percy Priest Lake, then get underway.

This matters because it reduces planning stress. You show up, load up, and start enjoying the day without needing to figure out how to stage multiple vehicles or meet at an empty dock.

Step 2: Cruise into Party Cove, then choose your mode

Once you reach the cove, the rest of the time is about options. You can:

• Slide off the boat into the lake
• Use the tubing raft if your group is in that mood
• Hang out on the lily pad and floats
• Play group games with the beer pong table and music

This is where the experience feels most “party boat.” The day is flexible. If half the group wants to be in the water constantly, they can. If someone wants a break, they can float, watch, and rejoin when they are ready.

Step 3: Wrap up back where you started

At the end of the ride, you return to the meeting point. The total time stays tight, so you do not lose the afternoon to long transitions.

Captain Energy and Safety: The Difference You Pay For

A party boat lives and dies by the captain. You do not just need someone who can drive. You need someone who can manage the flow, keep the group safe around the slides and water time, and still let the fun happen.

The reviews highlight captains who were both attentive and upbeat. Names like Sean and Dave show up with praise for making it a great day while still keeping safety front and center. Other captains, including Matt and Taylor, also get mentioned for hosting and keeping the experience moving.

What that means for you on the day: you can relax more. When the captain sets expectations and stays engaged, people tend to take the rules seriously, which makes the whole experience smoother for everyone.

What’s Included vs. What You Must Bring

This trip includes key items that save you money and reduce last-minute shopping.

Included

• Ice and a cooler
• Premium sound system
• Beer pong table
• 18ft float pad, plus floats
• A Master Captain
• The boat setup tied to the water activities (slides, inflatable time)

Not included

• Alcoholic beverages
• Towels

Here is the practical advice I would follow: pack towels like you would for a beach day, because the boat experience still involves getting wet. And plan your drinks ahead so you are not dealing with logistics while your group is ready to start.

If you have people bringing snacks or non-alcoholic drinks, the cooler and ice help a lot. It is a simple “make it easy on the group” inclusion.

Price Per Group: How to Think About the Value

The price is $1,099 per group (up to 15) for about 3 hours. That sounds like a lot at first glance, but this is a private boat outing with a dedicated captain and built-in party gear.

A useful way to judge value is to treat this as renting the whole “fun platform.” You are not paying for a shared boat with strangers. Your group stays together, you have space to rotate between slides and floating, and the sound plus beer pong setup reduces what you need to bring yourself.

Also, the boat’s capacity is listed as up to 22 passengers, while the group pricing is up to 15. That gap often signals comfort and room to move around, especially when people are climbing up for slides or gathering on the inflatable pads.

Booking timing can affect your odds. The experience is often reserved about 82 days in advance on average, so if you have a specific weekend in mind, start planning early.

Logistics That Save You Stress

This is a mobile ticket experience and it is offered in English. That is convenient, especially when you are coordinating groups where not everyone likes to deal with printouts.

It is also noted as near public transportation, which can matter if some of your group is not driving. You still need a practical plan for getting everyone to 3979 Bell Rd, but at least the area is not isolated.

One more note: the experience is described as something most travelers can participate. That is helpful as a baseline, but it does not mean it is frictionless for everyone. If someone in your group is uncomfortable with stairs, water activities, or the motion of a pontoon, you will want to think ahead.

Who This Party Boat Is Best For

This outing fits groups that want a clear plan with built-in fun. I especially see it working well for:

• Bachelorette parties and other big milestone group trips
• Bachelor parties where you want a mix of high energy and “hang and chill”
• Friends groups who want a day on the lake without spending time planning multiple stops

It is not the best fit if your group wants a quiet, scenic, low-activity cruise. The slides and games are the point, and the energy is meant to be loud and social.

For mixed groups, it can still work because you can split your time between action and relaxing on inflatable space, then meet back at the slides or games when everyone is ready.

Should You Book This Party Boat on Percy Priest Lake?

Book it if your group wants a private 3-hour party setup on Percy Priest Lake with double-decker triple slides, inflatable hang time, and entertainment like the premium sound system and beer pong table. The captain experience seems to be a major factor, with multiple captains receiving praise for balancing safety and fun.

Skip it or choose a different style of outing if you are not ready to handle the basics yourself. Since alcoholic beverages and towels are not included, you need to plan those pieces. Also, this is a focused time slot, so it is best for groups who are okay with a single, concentrated water day.

If you want one easy decision for your Nashville trip, this is it. You show up, you get on a brand new triple-slide boat, and you spend the day making lake memories without turning it into a complicated project.
