Bestway Hydro Force Tropical Breeze Raft

This is the talk of the town when it's out there. Get it... especially if you're prone to burning in the sun (as I am). This is an all day affair on the water and everyone loves it.

Bought this for the family lake house in Minn so the family could have a destination to swim to off the dock. Inflating this took some time due to all the different air zones, but once inflated it kept the air quite well. Understanding that it was made with the typical floatie type vinyl/plastic I didn’t really think it would hold up, but it did. We would bring it on shore at night due to wind and waves but there was a night that we forgot and a major storm came through. Thinking that this floatie island sunk to the bottom or was ripped up and was hanging on someone else’s dock, we headed out in the morn to retrieve what was left. Surprisingly, the floatie was only 10’ away from where we anchored it, totally fine and still inflated with the canopy still attached on one side. Checked it out and nothing was torn or broken. Impressed! Great place to hang out with adults and kids alike, and for those who tend to burn easily, can get out from the sun via under the canopy. For the money, it’s definitely worth it. Recommend.

amazing product

Took this down a river, and it held up great, despite some unavoidable rocks here and there in the rapids! A lot of space on it to chill out and relax with multiple people. Was rushing to get out of people’s way and didn’t put quite enough air in the canopy sitting area when we took it out, so it sunk in a bit with my friend sitting in it, but not enough for us to want to stop and put more air in it. (Just ignore that in the photos since it was my fault, lol) Putting together the canopy wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, even though it would have been a lot easier if I didn’t wait until we were floating to put it together lol. Customer service was also very supportive with inquiries I had, and were quick to respond. Unless you have a foldable wagon (which I plan to buy next) to pull this on to where you’re setting up and leaving, I definitely recommend no less than 3-4 people at once to use this since it was very heavy to carry especially after getting wet. Can’t wait to take it back in the water! (Just a space more clear of objects to paddle away this big thing away from next time, lol)

The beach lounge looks fine however when ordering there was no way of choosing which colour - despite there being 3 colour choices shown. We really didn't want purple, but of course, that's the colour that arrived.
