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.

amazing product

We purchased this float, more like a mini pontoon, for a family day at the lake. It was amazing and we all had so much fun relaxing and playing on it. It was so sturdy that we didn’t feel like we had to baby it. It took about 15 minutes to inflate with a power inflator we purchased at Home Depot. I would suggest getting a good quality inflator as it’s a huge raft. There were no downsides to this purchase. I would suggest that they do away with the cheap cooler/lunch bag that they include in the purchase. We tossed ours in the trash halfway thru the day. It doesn’t keep water in or out and it didn’t keep anything cold. Two suggestions: 1. Power inflator is a must. We got battery operated one from the power tool section at Home Depot. No way we would want to use a foot pump for that thing! 2. Purchase a big/deep tote or a heavy duty bag to store it and carry it around. It’s 56 pounds and doesn’t fit back in the box. We got a tote so it wouldn’t get damaged.

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.
