Best Inflatable Islands of 2025

"I took this float to my friend's lake house in Maine and we had so much fun with it! It took a bit of time to inflate, but our battery-operated air mattress pump did the job in about 20 minutes. We comfortably fit 6 adults, and I think we could’ve added a few more. The cup holders and cooler section were perfect for our summer drinks. I appreciated the canopy for sun protection, but it struggled in the wind and needed to be taken down a few times. Despite its weight, this float was a worthy purchase!"

"This float was perfect for our girls' weekend! We fit 6 girls on it and had a blast. It inflated quickly with two 120V air pumps, and we carried it easily to the dock. The cooler and cup holders were great additions, making our lounging experience even better!"

"We’ve used this float multiple times at the river and lake. It holds up to 9 people comfortably. The cooler is fantastic for keeping drinks handy, and it's surprisingly sturdy. Just be aware that it’s a bit heavy, so I recommend getting a tote for easier transport. Overall, it’s been a great experience, and I can’t wait to use it again!"

"I bought this raft for my backyard pond, and on the first day, my kids were a bit rough, causing one side to tear. Surprisingly, it still floats well! The headrest didn’t hold air, but we just kept it inflated all summer on top of our hot tub. The cooler and drink holders are fantastic. Overall, this might be the best money I've spent!"

"I took this float on a river trip and loved it so much that I want to buy another as a backup. We fit seven ladies comfortably all day, and I appreciated the cooler and the center opening, which lets you dip in without fully getting off. It loses a little air after a couple of uses, but refilling with a portable compressor is easy. Just a heads-up, I wouldn’t recommend taking it downriver as the material may not hold up."

"I purchased this twice. The first time it sat in the box for 3-4 years, and when I finally used it, it was perfect for parties and floating around. The cooler and cup holders are very convenient. However, after winter storage, I found slow leaks in the main compartments, making it hard to locate the source. I ordered another for a party, but it also developed a slow leak. It's disappointing, but I still enjoy using it."

"This is my second time purchasing this float. We leave it out all summer and just tie it to the dock when not in use. It's one of the most durable floats we’ve had, lasting two seasons. Comfort is nice, but I wish for more seating instead of the cooler, which we never use and just fills with water."

"I just tried out the island today, and I wasn’t disappointed! It was actually bigger and more roomy than I had imagined. Super comfy and sturdy enough to get on and off from the dock without any problems. We lounged on the river for 3-1/2 hours with cold drinks and a picnic, so relaxing!"

"This float is great! Holds air nicely and seems sturdy. I have it tied off in the lake. It would be nice if it had an anchor, but I've tied it off to the handles, and that works well."

"I found the quality to be great! It was a huge hit during our girls' weekend at the lake, comfortably fitting 4-6 adults."

"This float was perfect for my friends and me to relax and enjoy drinks together. My husband loves it too, especially during quiet evenings. We keep it anchored in the pool, and it’s been durable and held air well."

"I really liked this float, but it didn’t quite have enough space for 4 larger adults. Despite that, we had a blast using it!"

"I was nervous about buying another floatie, but investing in this one was worth it. The material is thicker and feels durable, so I'm not worried about it popping in the sun. Inflating it was easier with multiple compartments, and I love that it has a drain for the ice water. Using an air compressor made it much quicker—it took us about 45 minutes to get everything ready. This is perfect for parents like me who want to relax while keeping an eye on their kids!"

"I finally used this floatie after purchasing it in May, and I was disappointed when it broke within just two hours. I had high hopes for it."

"We took this float to our family camping trip, and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, especially the kids. The mesh area is safe for little ones who can’t swim, allowing them to play while we relax. It truly became the main attraction of our time together!"

"I took this out three times this summer and it was the most fun! It fits everyone comfortably and has two zipper close coolers. It's huge at 12 feet wide, and the durable, thick material means it will last for years. I highly recommend it!"

"I bought this raft last July and used it a couple of times. Inflating it was a breeze with my river pump, taking only about 15 minutes. It was comfortable and fun to use, but I was disappointed when one of the seams ripped after just four uses. The anchor also didn't hold well. Overall, I really enjoy it but I'm worried about the hole."

"This float is super fun and easy to inflate. I've had it for two years and it's still going strong! We've had 10 people on it, and even four kids in the center mesh. It's always a great family day out with this!"

"I was initially hesitant due to the price, but I quickly learned that you really get what you pay for. We had 8 adults on the raft during our first week, and it performed flawlessly. The mesh liner feels sturdy, and it even came with a floating cooler. My only wish is for an attachable rope ladder for easier water access. After a year of rough usage, it still holds up great!"

"I've had the Fiesta Private Island since 2013, and it's been the best inflatable I've owned. It's gone from being a party raft for long days on the lake to a playpen for my daughter. The strong mesh floor can support over 1,000 lbs without issues. While it’s a bit pricier, it has lasted me five summers, which is worth it compared to cheaper options."

"I purchased this float for our large family gatherings at the lake, and it fits everyone comfortably with room to spare. The material quality is fantastic, and the sturdy mesh bottom resists rips. Plus, it comes with a large vinyl anchor and rope. Just be prepared to have a few hands on deck to help move it because it's quite a monster!"

"I've owned several large inflatable islands, and this one is definitely one of the most durable I've encountered. However, I did experience a tear in the inside liner."

"This raft is fantastic, large, and durable. It held air all day even in the heat, making it a ton of fun!"

"I absolutely love this raft! It’s of good quality and supports weight well. Just a heads up, it has a 1,400 lbs max limit, so if you have heavier people, keep it to about 6 on board."

"I was thrilled to use this float, especially for the sun shade feature to keep cool while floating. Unfortunately, on our very FIRST use, the sun shade broke without any external force. Now, it's not practical for sunny days, which is disappointing since I invested in additional items for it."

"This float is fantastic! I love the mesh foot area so my one-year-old can sit safely without falling in. It comfortably fits several people, and the cup holders and ice chest are perfect for our lake days. Just wish it was easier to deflate and store!"

"I've used this float a couple of times for summer parties and it's been a hit! It inflates easily with a pump and is large enough for kids to enjoy. So far, it hasn’t leaked, and the portability after deflation is a huge plus!"

"After a few days of using it, I really like how easy it is to use this product. The materials are very satisfying, and I truly enjoy this item!"

"This float is truly XL and perfect for our pool. It was easy to inflate with a pump, allowing one person to handle it. Setting up the canopy requires two people, but overall, I'm thrilled with this float. It's comfortable for two adults, has great cup holders, and has shown no signs of leaking. Durability seems promising, and I definitely recommend it!"

"I bought this float the last day before my trip and it was a fantastic decision! It looks really nice and is of very good quality. It's spacious enough for two parents and two kids."
