Like many, I grew up at the pool. And each summer, my parents would take us to a lake a few hours away to soak up the sun, cruise on the boat and just float the day away.
If you ever grew up going to the lake, you probably wore a yellow waterski belt (we fondly call them banana belts), or if you were a seasoned pro, flipped your life jacket upside down and wore it as a diaper. Ah, those were the days.


Last year, I saw a few boaters with a big raft-looking object strapped their boats, like below.
Upon closer inspection at a popular party cove, I discovered that they are these huge floating pads. And they’re awesome!
Aqua Lily Pad, offers a variety of sizes, from small single floats to ones that can fit the whole family. The original Aqua Lily Pad is 6′ x 18′. Here, You can see more sizes, like the 6′ x 14′ Aqua Lily Pad and the 6′ x 20′ Aqua Lily Pad.
The larger floats allow you to comfortably sit on a chair, on the pad, in the water, with a bucket of beers. Could it get any better than having your own personal floating island?
The lily pads come with velcro straps to conveniently roll it up, and a rope to attach it to the dock or boat so it won’t float away.
Thank you, Aqua Lily Pad for making such a fun product!
