Are you ~the most~ ready for summer (and have ordered a million bathing suits from Amazon in preparation)? Thought so. Let's prepare for your hottest summer ever by getting...ginormous pool floats that'll fit everyone from your BFFs to your mom. Hell, even your ex! Trust me, you can worry about stocking up on new high-waist bikinis, pretty beach towels, and protective sunglasses only after you get your hands on one of these bad boys.

For starters, there's an enormous flamingo that can hold up to six peeps at once. Cool, right? (You already know the mega-popular-in-2019 unicorn float, so it's a great way to switch it up.) And for all my snack-lovers out there, I'm sure a jumbo pretzel that can seat your whole fam is enticing. But I really have my eye on the rainbow because, well, who amongst us *doesn't* need a giant floating rainbow at the ready??

Yes, some of these babies might be a smidge too large to toss into the average-sized pool. But if you're headed to the lake or beach house (be my friend?), make sure to bring 'em, along with your gorgeous carry-on luggage, of course. Though you could even blow it up and lounge in your backyard for the drama of it all, if you like.

Peep more multi-person pool floats below, send this to everyone you know, and get excited for summer!

Barbie called and asked if she could bring Kelly, Christie, and Skipper along because her Corvette doesn't have cupholders like this beauty does. And with everyone buzzing about all things Barbiecore, you'll be right on trend.

THE REVIEW: "I bought this after seeing a video of people taking one to the lake and it was so worth it. It's so cool, and huge, and fun, everyone at the river asked us where we got it. It really is gigantic, I knew it was going to be large but it was even bigger than I thought."

Stay in the water all day with this shaded floatie that's also super easy to put together. It only seats two, but tbh, sometimes that's perfect for a lil' romantic floating sesh.

THE REVIEW: "So we don't use this for the pool. Only the beach as a shaded beach bed!!! The price was less than a canopy, and way more comfy than some beach chairs. Everyone asks us where we got this, and since its marketed towards pools and not beach a lot of people are missing out!!"

Yes, hello, I would love this ridiculously OTT floating bar with built-in cooler and cup-holders. There's also an open floor so you can dip your toes or have a *flawless* exit strategy when you're done with your drink.

THE REVIEW: "Where to begin...we splashed, we chilled, we took a charcuterie board into the middle of Lake Anna...The lake front houses surrounding us were full of people who were straight jelly at the amount of laughs being had during our splash and chill and meat and cheese sesh. Haters will say it's fake. To those haters we will tell them you can splash but YOU CAN’T CHILL as our captain literally kicks them overboard."

Sharing this is SO much better than the (miserable) experience of sharing a real giant pretzel with your friends. Not to mention, the holes are perfectly sized for your backside to rest in the water as you float atop the pretzel part.

THE REVIEW: "We took this to Vegas and beat the crap out of it, seriously. It got SO much use, I'm surprised it lasted the whole trip. It got a tiny hole in it the last day (we were there 6 days) but we easily fit 3 people on it, and it was the funniest conversation piece!"

TBH, it really depends on what you wanna do. Are you hosting a float party, where people can select their own floating ride? Grab a bunch of smaller ones. Do you all just want to lounge and float down a river together? Get a heavy-duty, fits-everyone island. A couple things to keep in mind:

Like, don't buy something that seats four and expect all six of your pals to cram on. A lot of these floats are durable AF, but they're also just inflatable tubes—so you don't wanna wear them out and only be able to use them once.

It's a common enough occurrence—even if you're so careful with inflation, deflation, and storage—that these floats might get a little tear in them. Does the manufacturer give you a way to fix it (or a good return policy)? Otherwise you might be buying your own patch kit.

Knowing the product makeup will help you understand durability and texture—is it smooth? Pebbled? Slip-resistant? If you care about this, there are pool floats on this list that are free of phthalates or not made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Also, if the item description doesn't say, it's probably PVC, which is what a lot of floats are made of.

Heck yes you can. Some floats are specifically designed to be a pool-float hybrid—and some of the floats on this list, like the Alma Ocean inflatable pool, do both effortlessly. Also a couple of these floats will absolutely double as a pool to fill up in your yard. Do check the sturdiness, though, because some pools aren't designed to deal with waves and rocks like floats are.
