Intex 56299EP 145 x 125 x 20 Inch Splash N Chill Inflatable Lake and Pool Relaxation Island Lounger Seat for up to 7 Adults, Blue and White

Wow this raft is amazing for the price. Me and my friends had a blast riding it down the river. The only thing I'd say is that the cooler part is a little small and if you want to have a lot of drinks I'd consider tying a second small cooler to the rope go float next to you. I also attached a floating beer pong table and that worked really well with this raft.It took around twenty minutes to blow all of it up. The cooler and side areas need to be blow up only by mouth, so that adds to the time a little. I dried it on my balcony over night with one flip. Make sure you keep the plastic covers, you use them to help keep the holes in the right shape when it's deflated.Ten/ten would buy again. Worth the purchase after the first use alone.

We purchased this to bring along in our vacation to Lake Ouachita (we rented a houseboat). I was a little worried about the size, how long it would take to inflate, and whether the rocks would cause it to pop. We spread it out on the deck and located all the ports. Between my daughter, her boyfriend, and myself…we had it inflated in 10 minutes! My daughter had an electric pump made for pool floats, her boyfriend had a hand pump, and I had a blow dryer (with a cool setting). We filled up all the small ports first (entry ramps, 4 seat backs, the cooler) using the pumps and I blew up a few up manually by mouth. Then we used the blow dryer to blow up the two large ports where the seat circle is and the blue lounge area. We were so impressed by how quickly that went and also the size of it. Then 4 us carried it to the side of the boat and tied it off. It seams very durable so far. My kids loved it!

Great time at the lake with this. Took about 15 minutes all together to blow up with pump and about 5 to deflate. It’s heavy but manageable. No issues at all, held air perfectly and there were 8 of us total. All adults and we had 5-6 of us on it all day with no issues at all. Tied of with boat and hung out all day long. Very good for the $ and glad we chose this one !

Beyond disappointed, we were so excited to get this lake float and planned to use it for daughters 13th Birthday. First of blowing it up is a huge pain we have kayaks, paddle boards and lily pads but this inflatable comes with mouth tubes on massive areas to inflate so it took forever, but then once in the water it looked great girls hopped on and all was wonderful, until it wasn’t. Pull up side separated on first use, cup holder molding was popping out, cooler lid would not stay inflated and then the cap to the main seat area popped off not just the cap but the whole mechanism and then there was no way to get it back on so while it is way out in the lake anchored is started to take on water and half sink. Wanted to return it but of course it was impossible to get all the water out once we dragged it back out. I would save my money and hassle and try a different product

Mine lasted for about 4 seasons- I guess I'm lucky! In the end, too many small holes appeared on the seams, and I couldn't patch them. But I definetly got my money's worth out of this float. Yes, it's thin; I made a good gash in it myself (fixed with gorilla tape) in the beginning. But I babied the damn thing to make it last. I may buy a replacement for next year!

We bought this to take to our large family reunion at the Lake of the Ozarks. It was a HIT with the family. I gave it a 3 star on ease of inflating because...honestly...it was kind of a pain in the butt! Also, the box is pretty heavy! Have some strong individuals on hand to help unpack it and plan on spending 30-45 mins inflating it. It took 3 people to actually get it down to the lake once blown up...but again...it was a HIT!It is now deflated (also a pain) and folded back in the box to the best of our ability (they never go back in the way they came out). We definitely do not regret this purchase.

Took this gem on a sailing trip through the Exumas last month. We had a 45 foot catamaran which gave me plenty of space to inflate. Given that we moved island to island, I chose to partially deflate and ball it up in the aft cockpit (the bridge was elevated and forward, so out of the way of sailing activities and relatively protected from the wind) for each movement. Despite my rough handling and pulling it over the stanchions to do it, this raft held up beautifully! I left it inflated and tied to the back of the boat at night which provided a nice chill-out platform for morning swims. My biggest concern was that someone else would like it so much, they might perform drunken night ops to procure for their own boat😊. This comfortably fit the six people that gravitated towards it, to include a 75 year old with a bad knee. We even (probably I’ll-advisedly) towed 4 people to shore on it behind the dinghy. The value in this raft is amazing. I am cleaning it up now to store it until we take it to Belize next year. NB I ordered the $16 rechargeable pump that Amazon sells and not only did it travel well, it has inflated and power deflated the raft several times without needing to be recharged (to include right now as I type this review!)

Had this floaty for about 4 years and used for a few days each year before I finally had to retire it. It's a lot of fun to use on a lake with a bunch of people. It constantly had holes in it that I would have to patch. Takes forever to inflate and it weighs a ton inflated and deflated. Overall this Party Island is decent, but I liked the one that included a shade tent over it more.
