During those long and dreaded winter months when my pontoon is in hibernation, I find my daydreams often take me to my favorite boating spot. There is a secluded cove up a small canyon off the main waterway where I love to anchor my pontoon and just float in the water. There is just something about relaxing in the cool water on a hot summer day that I look forward to all year long. To me, being isolated from other boats and just floating with my friends and family is one of the best parts about boating. Pinch me if I’m still daydreaming, but BOTE has just released its Hangout Sling Chair that I feel might have been made just for me.

It is BOTE’s lightest and most packable inflatable chair from the manufacturer best known for its premium float products including paddleboards, kayaks, and other floats.

The Hangout Sling Chair weighs in at just 5.2 pounds, yet can support up to 300 pounds and is built for both adventurers and casual loungers like myself. It features a U-shaped pontoon base and breathable mesh seat for exceptional comfort and support. The Chair is outfitted with BOTE’s signature MAGNEPOD, a proprietary system that integrates high-strength magnets to secure MAGNEPOD accessories including drinkware, Bluetooth speakers, and the BOTE Hitchhiker crossbody pack.

Additionally, you can connect to other chairs or floats with DockLink Connection Points and soft grip handles, guaranteeing the Sling Chair will seamlessly integrate into any floating setup while taking relaxation to the next level.

Designed for portability, the chair packs down to the size of a sleeping bag, making it the perfect companion for any water adventure and it retails for $199. If floating is part of your boating routine stop daydreaming and pick up the new Hangout Sling Chair.

We also tried out the classic Hangout Chair from BOTE and if you’ve ever sat on an Adirondack chair and thought it would be cool to get it in the water, then this float is for you. Perfect for hot days when the sun is glaring and you need to keep cool while you float, the Hangout Chair ($349) is submerged in the rear with a floating upper half to give you the ultimate in-water Adirondack-chair experience. Your bottom is supported by a PVC sling so that it never feels like a balancing act when you’re floating (looking at you, pool noodles!).
