If you want to hang out and chat with your buddies while enjoying the lake, river, or beach, you'll love the Intex Key Largo Inflatable Island Raft, which holds up to six people.
Okay, we admit it: This thing is huge, so unless you have a gigantic swimming pool, you'll be using the Intex Key Largo Inflatable Island Raft on a lake, pond, river, or beach, not in your backyard. Measuring 136 inches long, 128 inches wide, and 22 inches high, the raft has plenty of room for six average-size adults, although quite a few Amazon buyers claimed they'd squeezed even more than that aboard.
Enjoy the section of the raft with a comfortable backrest, or stretch out on the "deck." There's a docking platform with four grab handles to make it easier to get on and off the raft, but you'll mostly want to stay put — this isn't a diving raft. There's a built-in cooler and six cup holders, so the party doesn't have to stop just because someone gets thirsty. The open center has a mesh bottom, so you can cool your feet in the water.
Unless you plan on drifting downstream, you'll want to use the side loops to anchor the raft to a nearby dock, boat, or post. Because this is so large, it does take quite a bit of time to inflate, and it's far too large and heavy for one person to carry alone, so you'll need your friends' assistance in getting it down to the water. But once afloat, this is where summer memories will be made.
Pros: Fantastic fun for multiple people, built-in cooler and cup holders, very sturdy construction
Cons: You'll need a powerful electric pump to inflate the raft, not easy to transport or store
