The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Water Trampoline
Whether you're outfitting a lakefront property, a summer camp, or a resort, a water trampoline is one of the best investments you can make for all-day outdoor fun. Floating trampolines bring the thrill of bouncing to open water — and once you have one on your lake or waterfront, you'll wonder how you ever spent a summer without it. At Omaha Sports & Games, we carry a hand-picked selection of the top water trampolines on the market from industry-leading brands like Island Hopper, Aqua Jump by Rave Sports, and Pop Board Co. — with a Lowest Price Guarantee on every single one.
What Is a Water Trampoline?
A water trampoline is a floating, inflatable trampoline designed for use on a lake, pond, river, or other open body of water. Unlike traditional backyard trampolines, water trampolines are anchored to the lakebed and float on the surface, letting jumpers bounce high and land back on the mat — or launch themselves into the water below. They're built from heavy-duty PVC and marine-grade materials to withstand constant sun, water, and heavy use season after season.
Water trampolines are different from water bouncers, which tend to be smaller and use bungee-style elasticity rather than springs. Both are excellent for family fun — and you can explore the full range of both styles in our water trampolines collection.

Choosing the Right Size Water Trampoline
Size is the most important factor when buying a floating trampoline. Here's a quick breakdown to help you choose:
10–13 Foot Water Trampolines — Best for Younger Kids & Smaller Budgets
Entry-level water trampolines in the 10–13 foot range are perfect for younger children and families who are just getting started with on-water recreation. The Island Hopper 10' Bounce N Splash is a top pick for families with younger kids, offering a safe, durable jumping surface at an accessible price point. Step up slightly and the Island Hopper 13' Bounce N Splash adds more room for multiple jumpers at once.
15–17 Foot Water Trampolines — The Family Sweet Spot
The 15–17 foot range is where most families land, and for good reason. These models offer enough jumping surface for multiple kids simultaneously, a more powerful bounce, and the durability to handle years of heavy use. The Island Hopper 15' Classic Premium Water Trampoline is our single best-selling water trampoline — it's a proven, time-tested model that delivers exceptional value. Looking for something with a bit more personality? The Island Hopper 15' Water Bouncer Lakeside Graphics Series features bold graphics and the same commercial-grade build. The Island Hopper 17' Bounce N Splash bumps up capacity even further and is ideal for larger families or frequent entertaining.
The Aqua Jump Eclipse Premium Water Trampoline is another standout in this category — featuring a unique design, self-contained spring system, and a reputation as one of the most durable floating trampolines on the market.
20–25 Foot Water Trampolines — Commercial Grade Fun
For summer camps, resorts, waterfront rentals, or serious lake enthusiasts, nothing beats the 20–25 foot range. These are heavy-duty, high-capacity machines built for all-day, multi-user action. The 20' Island Hopper "Acrobat" Premium Water Trampoline is an absolute beast of a floating trampoline, engineered for maximum bounce and long-term commercial durability. At the top of the range, the 25' Island Hopper "Giant Jump" Premium Water Trampoline is the largest water trampoline we carry — and one of the largest available anywhere. It's the centerpiece of any serious waterfront recreation setup.
