Nashville’s Hidden Water Playground: A Ride on the 30ft Double Decker Triple Slide Party Boat
When you think of Nashville, country music and vibrant city streets often come to mind. But just a short journey outside the city, Percy Priest Lake offers a whole new way to enjoy Tennessee’s natural beauty—by boat. For groups looking for a combination of fun, relaxation, and a splash of adventure, the 30ft Double Decker Triple Slide Party Boat with a friendly captain is a fantastic choice. At just under $1,000 for up to 15 friends, this experience promises three hours of water-based excitement, from high-speed slides to floating on inflatables.
What makes this boat trip stand out? We love the size and capacity—this is the only triple-slide boat on the lake capable of accommodating up to 22 people. That means everyone in your group gets to share the fun without feeling cramped. Plus, the personalized service of a master captain who has grown up in Nashville ensures local insights and a friendly vibe. Two features we really appreciate are the versatile water activities, including tubing and lounging options, and the easy BYOB policy that lets you bring your own drinks to enjoy during the cruise.
A possible consideration is that alcoholic beverages are not included, so you’d need to bring your own. Also, since the price is listed per group rather than per person, if you’re a smaller group of fewer than 15, you’ll still be paying the full rate. This experience is most suited for groups of friends or families wanting a lively day on the water, with plenty of opportunities for both high-energy fun and relaxed lounging.
If you’re after a memorable Nashville adventure that combines water sports, socializing, and spectacular lake views, this boat tour is a top pick.

Setting the Scene: Percy Priest Lake and Nashville’s Water Fun
Percy Priest Lake is a popular escape just outside Nashville, known for its clear waters and lively party cove. Unlike a standard boat rental, this experience combines a party atmosphere with personalized guidance. You start by meeting your captain at a designated location, then board this brand new 30-foot double decker boat, equipped with three slides, a powerful 200HP Suzuki engine, and enough space for up to 22 guests.
In the review, one guest, Katie, shared, “He was timely, accommodating, and fun. The boat was clean and perfect for a fun day on the lake.” That personal touch, along with a modern, well-maintained vessel, sets the tone for a smooth, enjoyable outing. The boat’s sound system and party essentials—coolers, ice, and floats—help you create a celebration environment that’s both lively and comfortable.
Starting the Adventure: Cruise to Party Cove
Your journey begins with a cruise across the lake toward Party Cove, a well-known gathering spot where over 100 boats converge for water-based socializing. Once there, the real fun starts. You can hop into the tubing area and ride the 4-person raft, or test your daring on the triple slides that cascade into the water. For those who prefer relaxing, the inflatable Lily Pad offers a perfect spot to lounge and soak up the sun.
The experience encapsulates a balance between energetic water sports and laid-back lounging. Thanks to the master captain, who has spent his life knowing Nashville’s water spots, you’re in good hands whether you want a wild ride or a chill afternoon. We loved the way the boat’s music system set the mood, making it easy to dance or sing along while floating or cruising.
Water Sports and Socializing: What You Can Expect
The tubing option provides an exciting adrenaline rush, suitable for groups looking for a bit of adventure. The slides on the upper deck are a highlight, offering the thrill of sliding straight into the lake. This is a perfect photo opportunity, perfect for sharing on social media or just reliving the fun later.
Meanwhile, the floatables and party cove environment help foster a sense of community among boaters. As one reviewer mentioned, “Meeting new people and making tons of memories” is part of the charm. The included ice, coolers, and floats make it easy to relax once you’ve had your fill of slides and rides.
Practical Details: What’s Included, What’s Not
The package includes ice, coolers, floats, a premium sound system, and a master captain—all essential for a successful party day. The $999 price covers the entire boat for up to 15 people, which is a pretty good deal when considering the boat’s size, features, and the personalized service. Extra guests beyond 15 are not specified, so it’s best to confirm with Rowdy Boats if you have a larger group.
Alcoholic beverages are not included, but you are welcome to bring your own, making it easy to customize your drinks and keep costs down. The boat is private, so your group has the entire vessel to yourselves, unlike crowded public tours.
Duration and Booking: Planning Your Day
The tour lasts approximately 3 hours, a good length to balance fun and relaxation without fatigue. Most bookings are made about 47 days in advance, which reflects its popularity. Since it’s a mobile ticket, you can easily plan your day around the cruise, and the experience is suitable for most travelers who are comfortable on the water.
One important note: this tour is weather-dependent. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. No refunds are issued if you cancel on your own, so it’s wise to check the forecast before booking.
