The GoFloats BigAl' Giant Floating Alligator was inspired by the traditional inflatable alligators from our childhoods, but we wanted to make them adult size. The result is a 11 foot + monster that can be used by adults and kids alike. The BigAl' raft is guaranteed to turn heads and be the life of the party. The raft is made from premium raft-grade material that is built to last and 25%+ thicker than other giant inflatable makers. The gator also has grommets on the sides so you can tether BigAl' to other rafts or to a fixed point. The raft can be inflated using our premium Rapid Valve by pump (2 minutes - highly recommended) or by mouth (20 minutes). Our deflation time is also only 2 minutes versus 20 minutes for other similar sized inflatables. These giant rafts are made for the kid in us all, and therefore can be enjoyed by swimmers ages 12+. The raft is a must-have for any pool, lake, river, or ocean.
