BOTE Dock 7 Foot Inflatable Lake Float for Adults Floating Island Raft for Pool Boat Lake & Beach Family Kids Adult Friendly Size 7' x 7' MAGNEPod Compatible Multiple Colors

I bought this platform as a fun accessory to have on a 50 ft sailboat. Before deciding, I compared it to more and less expensive models, and bought it as a reasonable compromise. It turned out to be the right choice. There is a 5x expensive model with water ballasts and a built-in coupling system, which promises to be more stable at sea. However, unless you can afford crew on your sailboat, it is way to expensive for the few hours of fun you will get out of it.Inflation through the provided foot pump was a breeze. We kept the platform inflated at all times during the first week of use. Two-four people can sit on it, two comfortably and four if you decide to play a card game. It is probably more stable on a lake, but at sea, standing up on it is for the well-balanced and the young. Tie a line to the aft of the boat and let it float. Sleep on it, play on it, eat and drink on it. Use it to send stuff from one boat to another while at anchor, by setting up a simple line-trolley between the two boats. The colors and design are appealing. The handlebars and D-rings are very useful. Easy to climb on, difficult to stand up (and stay up), but very very practical. It passes the price/fun/practicality ratio test.

I'm really blown away by how great this is. 2 adults and 2 kids can fit on very comfortably, have it feel stable and even paddle it around like a big raft. Kids love it. Super easy to get from in the box to on the water. and very nice comfortable top.

I know it gives the measurements but it’s small and over priced.

Bote is top quality, recommend reading care info so you can take care of the raft as they are expensive or seemly over priced this is a you get what you pay for situation

Dock is great. Very sturdy and rigid. Folds up easy. Only recommendation (necessity) is that you purchase an electric pump to inflate. This product uses a "Halkey Roberts Valve". If you already have an electric pump of some sort for air mattress or car tire you may be able to make use of it via. adapters available on amazon. I use my ryobi pump that I already had to inflate most of the way and then finish inflating to psi with the hand pump, takes me 7 min to inflate with my method now. Again great product, would recommend to everyone!

I love the dock, but if you want to pump up manually you're in for a long work out. The Bote Aero Pump is a must unless you have another kind of e-pump. Hours of fun on the water once its all inflated. Enjoy

Good to sit on when buffing boats very high quality. You get what you pay for here! Ignore the 2 negative comments, you can’t please everyone

Had this dock all summer and we really enjoyed it until the end of summer during "Cousins Week". I left the dock inflated for the entire week and the kids used it every day. At the end of the week when everyone went home, I got the dock out of the lake, and it was warped and bowed up. I understand that to take care of the BOTE products, or anything really, you shouldn't leave them neglected in the sun and elements. I thought since the kids were going to be using the dock everyday it would be ok to leave it inflated for the week. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. The dock was extremely bowed and is really now useless since it is no longer a flat surface. BOTE said sorry about your luck and won't cover that under warranty. This thing is awesome, but it is also really heavy and hard to deal with solo. I just feel like for the money you are spending on the item it should be built a little better to where you can leave it out for multiple days.
