Not quite a boat, not quite a lounge chair ... it's a Chilli Island(Credit: Chilli Island)Designed to deliver some of the on-water fun of a small boat without the work and hassle, the Chilli Island watercraft navigates the crisp, blue water like a motorized lounge chair. This small electric vessel has everything you need to enjoy a sunny day on the (not so) high seas with your favorite companion.At first glance, the Chilli Island looks more like a pool chair or towable than a powered watercraft, but the included Torqeedo electric motor puts it in the latter category. Both 0.5- and 1-kW motor options are available, providing up to six hours of runtime with power from a 300 Ah pair of AGM deep cycle batteries. Vienna-based Chilli Island GmbH fancies its namesake watercraft an alternative to other lightweight watercraft, such as pedal boats. The company believes the craft has potential for beach resorts, hotels, lakes and other destinations that serve up water-based relaxation. It certainly looks more relaxing than a pedal boat or rowboat and seems like it could create an idyllic afternoon of sipping cold drinks under the sun while gently cruising over crystal clear waters.
In place of a traditional hull structure, the Chilli Island is structured more like an open, floatable lounge chair for two, measuring 8.2 x 7.4 ft (2.5 x 2.25 m) and weighing 440 lb (200 kg). It has a polyethylene body built over a fiberglass frame and wraps each passenger in an ergonomic full-body seat that can also serve as a slide, letting one slip into the water on a whim. Handholds help passengers get back on board. The palm tree-inspired, three-panel adjustable shading system provides an escape from the beating sun.Occupants control speed and direction via the central trackball, which sounds at least as simple and intuitive as the joysticks on boats like the Joyboat. There's no listed speed information, but given the craft's design and small motor, it'll surely be limited to puttering around slowly close to shore.The Chilli Island doesn't have a whole lot of room on deck, but a few pieces of equipment enhance the ride. A bottle cooler keeps drinks cold, and cup holders on both sides ensure you don't have to hold onto your open drink the whole ride.
The two-speaker Bluetooth sound system plays music from your mobile device, providing up to 80 watts of audio power. Audio is controlled through the small onboard computer, which also provides information like battery level, speed and motor position.The Chilli Island Classic base model with 0.5-kW motor and 40-watt sound system is priced at €9,985 (US$11,225), as listed in Chilli Island's online brochure. Higher spec models include upgrades like the 1-kW motor, 80-watt sound system, and sound and lighting effects. Company branding is also available.That pricing seems a little steep for a motorized floatable lounge chair, particularly when compared to similarly simple watercraft like the aforementioned Sky Yacht Joyboat or the BeachRay, both of which were priced several thousand euros/dollars less when we covered them last year. Then again, you could spend more than €15,000 (US$16,900) on an electric surfboard that drains its battery in 30 minutes, so it's all relative. We'd certainly be quick to inquire about day pricing if we ever saw the Chilli Island for rent at a beach or lake resort and relaxation was the priority over fast-paced recreation.

Pool Floats & Inflatables Inflatable Drink Holder Pineapple But Pretty Doesn't Hurt Have fun in the sun without the inevitable summer sunburn and sun damage with floating shade that goes where you go. With the revolutionary floating pool umbrella, you and your family can enjoy hours of swimming pool and lake fun – all while being protected by the harsh rays of the sun. And with its built-in floating drink holder, you’re always just steps away from your favorite ice-cold beverage.
What are you waiting for? Make your summer cool and shady all season long with our exclusive floating pool umbrella.When this topic was added to our blog calendar earlier this summer, I thought – instead of rehashing the reviews that are on our website, what if we actually tested the pool floats – first hand? Management agreed, and next thing I know, two burly guys are loading my car up with pool floats! My task was simple, take them home (to my luxurious pool) and get down to the very challenging job of giving each of them a go in the pool. Here are my own personal reviews on six of the most popular pool floats we offer. My initial impression upon opening the box to the Unsinkable Pool Float was that the material felt very soft. This definitely lived up to my expectations once I got it out into the water. It felt like I could lay on it for hours without being uncomfortable. I also enjoyed the fact that this float required no blowing up like other floats. The only thing lacking with this float is that it does not have any arm rests.
I am the type who enjoys floating in the pool with a good book, and this is definitely not the type of float you can do that with. I would have also preferred that the head rest be a bit larger too, so that my hair would stay completely out of the water. Ultimate Fabric Covered Lounge is super comfortable and has a convenient beverage that came in handy on this hot day. This Lounge was also quite sturdy and durable on the water, and it was easy to get on and off it. The angle is perfect for reading and lounging, although it did cast lots of shadows – if you are looking to use it mostly for sunbathing. The only downside I experienced with this float is that because it is so large, it takes a while to fill up!! Good thing they gave me an air pump! The Tan Dazzler is one float that sure lives up to its name! Out of all the floats I tried, this one is certainly the best if you are going strictly for a nice, bronze tan. This float is pretty darn large, and I had plenty of space to move around without feeling like I was going to fall in the water.
Since the float is surrounded by float walls, you can put a bit of water in the float to keep you cool. I was honestly so relaxed while floating along in the Tan Dazzler, that I was on the verge of taking a snooze! For me, it doesn’t get better than this pool float – 5 Stars! For this double float, I enlisted the help of my bestie to test the River Run II with its intended occupancy. We had such a blast chatting away while floating in the pool! The beverage cooler was the perfect touch for a girl’s pool day. The seat is a mesh material, but the rest of you is high and dry. One complaint is that it is a little awkward trying to maneuver onto the float with someone already sitting on it! So once we were on and stable, we didn’t want to risk getting back off. Great for the river, but a little big and cumbersome for us. The name Premium Pool Hammock could not fit better for this float, as it is less a float and more a water hammock. The headrest and foot rest float to keep you atop the water, but the entire backside is a mesh sling.
Because of this, you really do sit deeper in the water, which is great for keeping you nice and cool on a hot day, but not the most ideal if you want to tan. I did like that you can use it prone, as a hammock, or sit upright, like a chair using the headrest and footrest as armrests. This gives the float a bit of a variety. It was super easy and fast to blow up and for the budget-minded, this is our most affordable pool float. This is substantial, heavy duty lounge that should last a long time! I felt very stable laying on the Floating Recliner Lounge, it’s not “tippy” but stays put, even as you move around. This one even comes with not one but two cup holders! I definitely didn’t need to utilize both, but it was a nice feature to have just in case. I especially liked this float because of how much it felt like an easy chair on the water, and the vinyl is soft. Plus, it is easy to transport with the handles on the side of the float. Well, we had fun testing and reviewing these pool floats.
