Dive into Summer with a Swim Raft
Create the Ultimate Waterfront Experience with a Swim Raft
A swim raft is more than just a floating platform—it transforms your waterfront into a safe, enjoyable, and memorable space for family and friends. Anchored away from other docks and moorings, a raft provides:
- A safe swim area: Establishes a clear zone for swimmers and helps signal to oncoming boaters to stay clear.
- Sunbathing and relaxation: Positioned away from tree shadows, it’s perfect for soaking up the sun.
- Easy visibility: Place your raft so swimmers are visible from the home or waterfront common areas for peace of mind.
Swim rafts are ideal for all ages and become a central feature of your waterfront activities. Planning ahead ensures everyone can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and water games safely.
Choosing the Right Swim Raft
Not all swim floats are created equal. The best options are:
- Durable and repairable: Avoid rafts that are prone to leaks or flooding.
- Modular and portable: Designed to move with a helper or two, some can even be managed solo.
- Stable and safe: Rectangular flotation offers better stability than round barrels.
At Great Northern Docks, we offer top-rated swim rafts built to last and designed for fun. Here are our recommended options:
