Funboy's DayClub is a floating party

Baby, it’s going to be one long, hot summer, and unless you are in the mood for a really long drive or an airplane ride (seriously?), you aren’t getting out of the Texas heat. However, if there’s a swimming pool, beach, or river in your life, diving in with one of the summer’s craziest pool floats can be your ticket to a welcome chill.

With that in mind, we’ve come across a pool float that is a complete floating party — Funboy‘s Giant DayClub. It’s the biggest, baddest pool float we’ve seen. Just call it a floating cabana.

This monster float is more than 10 feet long and eight feet wide and comfortably seats four. You can tan, or you can avoid the rays thanks to the removable sun shade. Ensuring that you keep cool while afloat, there are two mesh foot baths for playing footsie and/or chilling your tootsies.

And what would a floating party be without on-board refreshments? This fab float boasts a central cooler just waiting to be filled with ice and your favorite poolside beverage. Amenities include four backrests and dual side-mounted pads, making water entry a breeze.

While it’s priced at $369, Funboy is contributing 20 percent of profits from the sale of all floats to Feeding America in support of food banks feeding those caught in economic fallout of COVID-19.

Perusing the Funboy site, which is loaded with luxe floats, we were particularly taken with the Butterfly Float. It’s been on the beach scene for a while, but it remains a colorful and playful treat at $99.

Further down in the price range, Home Depot — of all places — offers a selection of pool floats priced under $100.

And, as long as we’re discussing pool floats, let’s not forget the drink floats. Target, Esty, Wayfair, even Macy’s offer selections of drink floats that range from fruit to flamingos.
