Recommended Inflatable Towables
Towable Tubes
What do Hotdogs, Deck tubes, Ringos and Cock-pit tubes all have in common? Well, they are all Inflatable Towables, and they all offer a fantastic, easy way to get on the water with little or no skill. Every one can tube, and some would even say it’s the most fun you can have on the water. Towable tubes are great fun for kids and adults alike. The only thing that can be hard to find is a good boat driver. So let’s look and compare just a few of the Different Towable Styles on Offer.
Cockpit Tubes
Cockpit Tubes are great for kids and adults who are just starting. The enclosed cockpit gives the feeling of security, and if the boat driver is sensible, you should never get flung out of your seat. You can get a massive range in cockpit towables from 1 – 3 or even 4 seaters. Here at Boatworld, we tend always to keep 2 and 3 seaters in stock. View All Cockpit Tubes Here

Key Features:
- 3 Riders

Deck Tubes
I would say that deck tubes are the most fun you can have on the water. The deck style is fast, easy to flip and a barrel of laughs. I personally think they are the best because you can get so much speed up and whip behind the boat; It can be a real challenge to hang. With the right boat driver, they can be a real laugh. However, deck tubes can be good for all ages. You just have to be a bit more careful for the younger riders. We have a variety of deck tubes in stock ranging from 1 rider up to 4 riders.

Key Features:
- 2 Riders

Donuts
Donuts/Ringos are usually the first tube anyone gets on the water in. They usually hit a great price point, as well as having some of the capabilities of a deck tube. The flat bottom means you can get some whip on the wake. But they also have a hole in the middle of the tube, which means they can be good for children as they give a safe and secure feeling, sort of like a cockpit tube. They are sort of a hybrid tube that can handle a bit of anything. View All Deck Tubes Here
