SEA-DOO Dream Island 7-Person Float with Waterproof MP3 Storage
Dad and six friends, family members or new acquaintances (he’s sure to meet lots of those as soon as this float hits the water) can’t help but feel pampered with the features he’ll find on this floating resort! One detail that sets this float apart is a removable canopy with air vent that provides shade for all-day outings. A detachable boarding platform makes entry from the water quick and easy. The central mesh cooling area and mesh seating locations allow excess water to drain away, while six drink holders and two built-in, zippered cooler/storage pockets keep cold beverages (unfortunately, those are sold separately) close at hand. And what’s a party without music? There’s a waterproof MP3 storage box with a built-in battery compartment and four built-in waterproof speakers to pump out your favorite jam. There are four air chambers with heavy-gauge PVC bladders. An anchor bag and puncture repair kit are also included. Dimensions are 123 1/2″L x 118″W inflated. 90-day warranty.
