Best Overall Floating Cooler
Intex Mega Chill II
We love both the flexibility and durability of this floating cooler. The Mega Chill II has excellent buoyancy, rugged construction and is spacious enough (48 x 38-inch) to hold 72 cans and six cup holders. Place drinks and ice in the onboard cooler or use it as a base for an insulated hard-sided cooler on top of this floating raft. It’s a party-pleasing choice for river rafting, floating, kayaking, toting behind a pontoon or splashing in the lake.
“I bought this for doing river runs with friends,” writes Nate Vossekuil in his five-star review. “This thing bounced off about a dozen rocks and multiple sticks and trees. One stick was pointed upstream and stuck into the front of it; still full of air a week later!”
