Sharky's Events & Inflatables

Sharky's Events & Inflatables rents bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses and dunk tanks for birthday parties, school carnivals, church festivals and corporate events. The lineup also includes rock walls, interactive and carnival games, photo booths, tables and chairs, and generators for sites without power.

The company is family-owned and delivers equipment to homes, churches, schools and commercial properties, with a setup briefing before the gear is handed over. Rentals are cleaned, tested and sanitized before each delivery. Reserving takes a $20 deposit, and cancellations made 24 hours ahead are risk-free. The business is based on Barber Road in Sarasota and delivers across the Sarasota and Tampa areas, sometimes farther out for an added fee.
