We've all gazed enviously at millionaires in their speedboats and wished we could be them. Well, there's no luck on that millionaire thing yet, but you can have the speedboat! In inflatable form, anyway...
Amazon is selling a life-size inflatable speedboat just in time for summer, and it's as close to the real thing as many of us are going to get!
The Inflatable Bay Breeze Boat Party Island is perfect for those who want to live a luxury lifestyle, but don't have the funds to pay for the real deal.
Available from SunPleasureInflatable, the mega-sized pool lounger is designed to fit six people, whether this be you, your partner and all the kids, or you and five friends, all with strawberry daiquiris in hand.
The float includes an inflated rear swim platform with five handles for easy mounting and dismounting, eight cup holders and a built-in cooler to chill your beer. It also boasts an inflatable bench seat that you can laze on while staring out into the great unknown (or, you know, the side of your pool).
The life-size inflatable speed boat measures about 20 feet long x 10 feet wide x 3 feet tall and weighs about 60 pounds.
According to customer questions and answers on Amazon, it takes roughly 20 minutes to fully inflate - much less time than it'll take you to earn the millions to pay for an actual speedboat.
So, speaking of money, how much do you and your five friends have to fork out to race away this summer? Prices on Amazon currently start from $216.79 (£171.09) and go up to $269.99 (£213.08).
But what price can you really put on fun like that?

Guys, I love pools, slides and all that jazz just as much as the next guy, but I don't love... water parks. Going for a lovely summer day is one thing, but waiting in all those lines and paying all that money is another.
And since it's pretty much a public pool and nobody actually gets up to go to the bathroom in these places, you're pretty much guaranteed a nice, exciting slide into what amounts to a giant, fancy chemical toilet.
What if you could have the experience of a water park, but in the comfort of your own home? None of that VR garbage either; it's summer and I want to get wet. Well, if you're like me and you want your own private water park experience, it might be a good idea to head to Amazon.
That's because the internet's biggest marketplace now has an inflatable waterpark, complete with slide and pool, and although it might look like it might just be for kids, I'm sure that's just a suggestion, right? This waterfall - available on Amazon for just £249.95 - comes with multiple play areas for you and your friends (sorry, I mean your children).
Climbing walls, a water cannon and the glorious slide are all available on this inflatable oasis, and with multiple belts as well as Oxford cloth material to keep the structure safe and secure, you'll be able to use this water slide every summer until your grandkids are using it!
Produced by Costway, these structures are designed for physical stimulation as well as fun and play, It only takes a few seconds for this water park to be fully operational, and with a heavy-duty blower, you can keep it going until Christmas if you want.
So, what are you waiting for? Summer's already here, folks; head to Amazon right this second, and pick yourself up an inflatable water park. Your kids will thank you... but they're going to have to wait their turn.
Flamingos are everyone's favourite bird. If you just said in your head "well, they're not mine," you're lying to yourself. Reconsider your options. Who doesn't love a good pink animal?
Well now, you can spend all day riding one. Aldi's $24.23 (£19.99) giant flamingo pool float is a thing of legends. When the product title says it's giant, it's not lying.
The pool toy is an absolute unit. This is so much bigger than your average flamingo. This thing is about seven feet wide when it's inflated. It can hold 485 pounds, which the website claims is comfortably two adults.
And that means two whole adults can ride this flamingo on the water, lounge by the pool, or play with it in the backyard. Your options are limitless. The product description on the Aldi website reads:
"Make the most of your time in the pool with the addition of this fun float. Great for splashing and playing in the pool when the sun is shining and the kids have broken up for summer. Treat them to an inflatable they can use year after year no matter where your summer plans take you."
The inflatable PVC float comes with a small repair patch, just in case you happen to have any unexpected leakage. The toy also has two air chambers and a set of handles to stabilise yourself while you have your summer fun.
A rave online review for the massive float says the investment is well worth the money. It might even be worth more than only $24.23. The happy customer writes: "Good price, can hold over 200 kg despite what the box says, we managed to get 3 heads on it! Would recommend an electric pump ... trust me."
So, maybe make sure you have a big family or a lot of friends before buying this bad boy. That, and a trusty pump. You're gonna need it.
Have you ever dreamed of playing with a unicorn? Well, no longer are these creatures just a figment of your imagination. Now, you really can interact with them - and they can keep you cold on a warm day, too.
You can be the proud new owner of this large, inflatable mythical creature. For just $60.74 (£49.56), you can buy the BigMouth Inc Giant Unicorn Garden Sprinkler on Amazon.
Whether you're looking to have big fun with the family, entertain your friends who are still mystified by childlike magic, or want to frolic in the water alone, this pool accessory is for you. The inflatable unicorn garden sprinkler is made from PVC and inflates to be more than 6 feet tall, much larger than any real unicorn would be, surely.
It's easy to set up too. While it doesn't come with a pump or an abundant water supply, all you have to do is blow it up and attach a regular-size garden hose at the bottom. Then, water comes out the horn and all that's left to do if frolic around the backyard.
Reviews for the product are great. Users rave that kids have fun with it, and it only takes four minutes to inflate. Some say you don't even need a pump to do it:
"This was literally one of the most amazing investments I've ever made. Had a big party and wanted something that would be a great item to take pictures with, and boy was I right! People loved it. I also found it super easy to blow up with a hairdryer on a cool setting. Loved it."
While some complain that it blows away easily, many say the entertainment outweighs this minor inconvenience. One review reads:
"Are you looking for a lit summer activity involving your friends, family, pets, neighbors, and/or overflying aircraft? This unicorn sprinkler is for you! Genuinely some of the most fun my kids have had in awhile."
If you're not into unicorns, try out the dinosaur or an elephant sprinkler, instead. No matter what animal you chose, you're sure to have a cool, fun summer outside.
Summer is here, and I am ready to finally get out of my house and get down to the beach for the first time this year (being sure to stay two meters apart from everybody else at all times).
However, rather than just sunbathe and go for a paddle, why not enjoy the sea to its fullest, grab a friend (who lives in your household), and go for a kayak?
Oh, you think kayaks are far too expensive? Well, think again! Because the latest item in the Middle of Lidl is perhaps their best one yet.
Introducing the Crivit 2-Person Inflatable Kayak, which is being released next week as part of the budget supermarket's 'Summer Essentials' range. And I totally agree, a two-person inflatable kayak is essential.
And Lidl being the home of bargains, this incredible purchase is available for just £39.99!
Now, let's get down to the specs and features.
The Crivit kayak comes with detachable front and rear seats, a double-bladed aluminum paddle with that can also be used as a canoe paddle (220cm), a removable footrest, and it comes in a waterproof bag that is perfect for storing your phone and other valuables while the kayak is in use.
In addition, the kayak is made from a robust, hard-wearing PVC that is resistant to saltwater, oil, and the cold. (However, if you do find yourself in some bother, a repair kit it also thrown in.)
The kayak is also made from a lengthways bar base for added stability and five-air chamber system with safety valves - meaning you are pretty much guaranteed a sturdy ride.
When fully inflated, the kayak measures, L325 x W76 x H48cm - and when deflated it takes up almost no room at all, meaning it is easy to throw in a backpack and head down the beach. It also weighs just 8.2kg.
The kayak will comfortably carry two adults - with a maximum weight of 160kg (352lbs).
And for added piece of mind, Lidl will also include a 3-year warranty - so you can buy in confidence.
Considering how busy the beaches have been recently, I reckon the best place to be is out on the waves and away from the crowds!

This summer has been pretty hot, and so it's only natural that people have started hitting the poolside. There's nothing like a swim in the cooling waters to help you chill out, and the best way to relax (I find) is by investing in an inflatable of some kind.
If you'd like to grab yourself one before the sunshine runs out, then I have good news for you: the supermarket chain Aldi is selling an awesome inflatable flamingo floatable at a low price. The best part? It's absolutely gigantic.
The flamingo floatable measures an incredible 218cms by 211cms, and is more than a metre tall once in inflated. Not only that, but this mammoth pool toy can be yours for only £19.99. ($21.14)

Earlier this week, the supermarket chain posted an image of the giant inflatable bird, with the caption: "All your summer chillaxin' dreams have come true… Now all you need is a pool. Make the most of your time in the pool with the addition of this fun float. Great for splashing and playing in the pool when the sun is shining and the kids have broken up for summer."
The floatable can apparently bear the weight of around 220 kilos worth of passengers: or three people weighing around 11 stone each. Not only that, but the flamingo also comes with two air chambers for added safety, some handles, and a repair patch in case it bursts and deflates.
But this isn't the only awesome huge-fake-animal-related offer Aldi has lined up for the summer. Check out this article we penned about the giant inflatable sprinkler unicorn they're currently selling for just £40.
