Tube-A-Rama Inflatable Floating Island - Holds Up to 10 People - 8 Seats - Water Raft for Adults & Kids

I purchased this item to take to Shell Island near Panama City Beach, FL and it greatly exceeded my expectations! It's HUGE, (obviously, it says it's 12-foot) but I never took into consideration how big 12 feet really was. It's made with the thicker plastic so it won't tear easily, which I love in case we take it down the creek. It's a little heavy for me to carry comfortably but my boyfriend can carry it easily. I also bought a Black & Decker ASI500 12-Volt Cordless Air Station Inflator through Amazon to blow it up with at the island, works like a gem. From flat to full, total time was about 15-20 minutes. But, the easiest way to blow it up is by using a gas leaf blower against the quick-release valve, in case you didn't know.

Definitely not durable enough to float down the Boise River. Lasted 10 minutes... It would be a perfect tube to use on a lake. Don’t attach anything to the eyelets on the side, mine ripped right off the tube.

Not looking to make this public, just looking to inform and ask for support, just inflated my island for the first time and there is a small tear in the seam. It’s in the seam so I know it will only get bigger even with patches. I’ve owned one before. It’s super disappointing. Please advise on how best to plug the hole.

I took this out 3 times this summer. This was the most fun, seats for everyone. 2 zipper close coolers, huge 12 feet wide, durable, thick and will be usable for years to come! Recommended.

I purchased this raft on the 4th of July last summer. I used it a couple times throughout the season - static in a lake. It is really, really fun. The coolers are a great feature. We use them for dry storage, too. Pluses: it's easy to inflate with a double action river pump - it takes me about 15 minutes to do alone. It's comfortable. It's easy to move around in the water. I like having some holes with mesh and some that go straight through to the water. Negatives- after four uses, one of the seams ripped and now we're unable to use it :( The anchor was a joke. It doesn't hold this thing in place at all. It's really, really heavy, but I guess that's to be expected. Overall I really love this thing, but I'll be super pissed if I'm unable to somehow repair the hole or warranty it...as it's not cheap.

Killer. Not sure about 10 people, but for 4 or 5 it is incredible! Built in coolers, choice of holes to water or not ... a loafers on the water dream. Only thing it needs is a waterproof trolling motor so drunk people don't have to paddle. Update 6/10/20 - Thing is still going strong. Recently had a group of 9 people take it out. And I DID rig a little trolling motor w/a battery in the back (don't have a pic). Works great. Now we tool around the lake w/a few beers surveying the neighbors.

Great in concept, but we’ve now owned two of them and they do not hold up. The last one started leaking along a seem. The patch they included was useless. I then bought epoxy and tape designed for boats and no luck there either. Overall, we got 5 or 6 uses out of them. Not worth the money.

Bought this August 2022 after visiting a buddy's lakehouse his college-age nephew and buddies had one they bought in 2021. Saw them use it throughout the day, refill the coolers, and when my younger kids finally got out there, they loved it. Got feedback from the nephew, who said they don't need to add air for over their 5 days there but to buy a different anchor (which I also did). After our initial unboxing and inflation, I hear air coming out. See a leak at the seam (see photo) Tried to patch but useless with what was supplied as a patch (see photo), so went to hardware store and bought a vinyl patch repair kit. Because we were going to already lose a day due to having it sit overnight, I overpatched to ensure no side leaks. Next day, re-inflate and looks good, get it on the water, anchored and a 2nd hole opens up beside it in under 5 minutes. See photos.

Pour un plaisir durable sûr l'eau

Not comfortable, so I returned it.
