Can the Slide Be Installed on Both Sides of the Yacht or Just the Stern?

1. Is it possible to mount an inflatable slide on both sides of my yacht?

Yes, in most cases, inflatable yacht slides can be installed on either the port or starboard sides, as well as the stern. However, the feasibility depends on the yacht structure, available space, and slide design. Many custom solutions from manufacturers like YOLLOY can suit unique yacht layouts.

2. What should I consider before selecting the installation position?

When choosing where to install your slide, consider:

• Deck railings and obstructions
• Access to water without hitting props or swim platforms
• Available space for the slide length and angle
• Safe distance from other watercraft and docks
• Structural support points on the yacht

Discuss your exact yacht specifications with your supplier, such as YOLLOY, for precise recommendations.

3. Are there special slide designs for side or stern installations?

Yes, some models are specifically engineered for side deployment, particularly for yachts with large upper decks. Stern-mounted slides are more common, but YOLLOY offers both standard and custom designs, like angled slides, to fit diverse yacht architectures.

4. Will installing a slide affect yacht safety or navigation?

Proper installation ensures slides do not obstruct navigation or safety equipment. All mounting points should use soft pads or non-slip materials to avoid damage. Always deflate and remove the slide before cruising or when not in use to maintain optimal safety.

5. How should installation be handled?

Professional installation is advised, especially for large yacht slides. YOLLOY provides mounting kits and guidance, with tailored anchor systems for either side or stern installation. Instructions include:

• Inflating and securing with straps
• Ensuring even weight distribution
• Regular inspection during use
