IntexBlue Tropical Island 5 Seat Floating Lounge Raft w/ 4 Cup Holders | 5727EP

Just tried out the island today, and was not disappointed! It was actually bigger and more roomy than I had imagined, and it was super comfy, and sturdy enough to get on and off from the dock without any problems. You can stand in the centre well to move around too - it supports the weight just fine. We packed some cold drinks and a picnic dinner and spent 3-1/2 hours just lounging on the river in the sun… so relaxing!I own an Intex branded 2-person kayak, already, so I was confident that this would be just as heavy-duty and high quality. It met all my expectations. It’s super easy to inflate, with only two air valves for the main body, and three smaller back rests, plus the little built-in cooler. We used a DeWalt air compressor to save time pumping and blowing. Took about 15 minutes to fully inflate everything. Also used the compressor on reverse to suck the air back out afterwards, and it deflated perfectly so we were able to fold it neatly and fit it back in the box, which I keep in my trunk with my kayak.I definitely recommend using some sort of paddles to get out to where you want to be (we just used my kayak paddles), and then drop an anchor to hold your position. I just bought a little 5 lb grappling hook anchor and float line on Amazon, and that worked perfectly.Will definitely be using this a lot this summer!(Location: Rideau River, Ottawa, Ontario)

This is my second time purchasing this Float. We live on a smaller lake (less than 500 acres) and leave it out for the entire summer (June through August) and just tie it to the dock when we are gone. It was one of the most durable Lake couch we have had and lasted two seasons. The comfort is nice and can fit many people. The only think I do not like, but it is small, is the cooler spot is not very useful. We never use it and it just fills with water and we need to dump it. I would prefer more seating vs. having the cooler in my opinion.Overall, it has been a really fun addition to our Lake Cabin.

Perfect float to keep docked in the bay. We have a 4 & 3 year old that can safely play on float (with life vests) due to mesh bottom in open pool area.Chaise lounge is super comfy and easily fits 3 adults across.

Previously, I owned 2 of these and they lasted 2 years and would have lasted more if I didn’t leave them outside for the winter, which resulted in multiple cracks. If you are buying an island for tubing, this is the one. We live right by the river and over the years we have tested multiple tubes. None came in durability and comfort in comparison to this Intex. The net in the center is one of the key features preventing loss of items. But the durability (hitting multiple ricks and branches during our trips) and comfort of the back support which is unmatched so far by any other tube or brand , is the reason that I recommend this tube above all other. Having found this for the price listed on Amazon, its a steal of a deal for the multiple years, as long as you take care of it and don’t leave it outside. We just did a trip 2 days ago with 7 adults and 2 kids and it held up without deflating (usually tubes deflate during the first use as they expand from body weight). This unit just like the 2 before, withheld the weight and durability during hitting multiple rocks and branches. Highly recommended and stand by this product as it proved itself over the years in comparison to all others and their failures

Keeps it's inflation and so nice to sit in and float on a hit summer day!
