CoolerZ Tropical Breeze II Inflatable Floating Island

I was nervous about buying this product because of the price but after reading the reviews of this product and other similar products by the same company I took a chance and it did not disappoint. This product is a must-have if you live on/near a lake or pond. After my initial use I can say that the quality of this float is exceptional. It is made of very thick material all around and it seems to be very strong and sturdy. All of the cup holders, cooler areas, handles, etc. appeared to be molded well to the float. The mesh bottom is very strong and will support an adult standing on it, although I don't recommend that for too long just in case. It took approximately 13 minutes to fully inflate all 4 compartments using my Ryobi battery operated air inflator. It took about 10 minutes to fully deflate by rolling up the float and squeezing the air out manually.One thing I would change on this float (which I believe they did with the next model) is adding handles to the sides of the float. After jumping off the float and swimming around it would have been helpful to have something to hold onto (there is the tie-on ramp on one side that has handles).One thing I didn't like about this float was how difficult it was to climb back in after jumping out. I consider myself to be an able body and I had a hard time pulling myself up on the added 'ramp'. I don't believe older people and less able bodied people would be able to pull themselves up.My favorite thing about this float was when my 2 and 5 year old children used the small area with the mesh bottom as a pool. That was so fun for them and they loved it. My wife sat back using the inflated seat backs with her feet in the mesh bottom area and said that was the most relaxing she had felt in months.

I bought this inflatable to use for a 12 hour river float on July 4th. It was between this and 2 others that did not have a canopy. I’m really glad I chose this one because we all got a little too much sun, even with sunscreen reapplications every hour. I can’t imagine how toasty we’d have been without it. The design is great for socializing, as it’s kind of like 2 sofas facing each other and not difficult to maneuver around on. We used it in conjunction with a 2 person tube float and inflatable row boat, with members of our party rotating out here and there. In total, we had 7 kids (ages 2-15) and 6 adults. At several points, we had all 7 kids and 4 adults on this float alone with no problems, whatsoever. The mesh area ended up holding everyone’s shoes and several water guns (plus legs, haha). It also made a nice little shallow area for the 2 year old to play in. Despite being told not to put his full weight on it, my 15 year old stood up in the mesh several times (he’s 160lbs) and it held 100%. My only complaints are relatively minor: I wish it had more cup holders, a place in the interior to hook a D ring for stuff like a trash bag, and cooler cubbies that don’t fill with water so easily (can be remedied with pump water gun, but float doesn’t come with that ;)). Everyone had a great time on this thing and we heard quite a few people on the riverbank saying, “wow, look at that one!” while pointing at us. I wish we had more places available locally to use it, honestly. I would definitely recommend using a decent battery powered air pump with this. Doing so allowed us to inflate it right beside the river, reducing the possibility of puncturing it in route. All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend to others. It really was the highlight of our summer family camping trip and I have no regrets about purchasing it.

This raft is definitely a beast. Definitely need two strong adults to inflate and move this thing. If you plan to transport it, you’ll need a pump that plugs in to either a car outlet or ground power. Battery powered unit probably won’t do it as it takes ~20 min to blow up. Also definitely need a claw anchor. The on that comes with it is cheap and doesn’t work. Overall, once in the water it’s awesome. Just need to commit to an hr or so total for set up and take down.

Although I loved this float....one of the canopy connectors broke after one use. I thought no problem, I’ll just order a replacement part. Nope, the company first told me that the connectors were back ordered (as this was the time right after I purchased the float) Now, many months later they don’t return emails or phone calls. I have since found out that these connectors break all the time and no one can get the replacement part. What a waste of $400.00. I don’t need a float without a canopy!!!!

Everything that the ad said came with it, it definitely did! Both coolers worked awesomely! We took this raft down to the Russian river in California and we stayed on the water for a good 6-7 hours with no issues! Easy to blow up, took 25 minutes and it stayed blown up the whole time. I'm a big girl and it surprised me how it maintained air. Its all how you CARE for your raft. We bought some tarp to lay it on and we made sure it was not rubbing against random surfaces. The mesh is very sturdy and my 10 year old and 3 year old sat on it for hours. I will say, you do need paddles and you do need a small anchor so you do not have to get out often to push your float around. The whole beach kept admiring what we had and kept asking us the whole time where we got it from. I recommend this product! Made our camping trip a blast!

We loved this float the first time around but after only one use we noticed the second time around that there must be a puncture somewhere in the inner part. The material seems sturdy so I’m not sure how this could have happened. I ignored the other reviews but the exact thing happened to us. There goes $200

The product on itsown is amazing and incredibly durable. Even the netting on the inside was capable of supporting the weight of 2 intoxicated and slightly overweight adults without any issues. My only complaint is the canopy is too shallow to really provide any sort of shade unless it's high noon and the sun is directly above you.I purchased 4 74x74 shower curtains and a bunch of high quality strong adhesive Velcro to attach the curtains to the canopy as an extension and now it's PERFECT.
